LA Can Suck It
This is my first blog… ever… and I’m not too sure what purpose this thing is going to be. Perhaps it’ll be just to vent about life in general. I’m hoping that it won’t be hindered by the fact that YOU, yes you, may read and judge this writing. But how can you not? Everything is completely a subjective experience anyway. Therefore, judge if you like, comment if you like, or enjoy this blog for what it’s worth: the intuitions of a gasian.
With that aside, I suppose the reason why I’ve started to write is to escape this daily drudgery of living constantly in my head amidst a world that is currently unstimulating and a bit futile to understand. I wouldn’t say that I am the most intuitive, intelligent, thought provoking person I know. I just know that I feel like I’ve sat through my college career as a complete wallflower to the world around me. I cannot wait till graduation so I can move away from the constant bullshit that I have to endure on this pretentious campus… or city, for that matter.
Los Angeles, I’ve decided, is the bane of my existance. Sure, it isn’t a southern town located in hickville USA; there is diversity and culture in this urban sprawl. Unfortunately, most of the people I have encountered have all been pretentious Orange County assholes and high maintenance whores that preoccupy themselves with the latest Hummer SUV that’s out on the market today. The thing that pisses me off is that the world views LA as this glamorous “city” where celebrities shine with their emaciated figures and their closeted lifestyles. In fact, Los Angeles is more like a cubic zirconium: shiny but fake. Fake from Fairfax and 3rd’s the Grove, to the seedy underside of Hollywood and Highland’s Kodak Theatre. It’s just a vast, grey ocean of concrete, cars, and crappy personalities.
Anyway, I obviously can go on for hours, but my time in LA is winding to a close this upcoming May. After graduation I’ll be happy to leave this backdrop of an airbrushed image of bleached blonde bimbos. Fuck you, Liberty and Justice.
disgraceful billboard located in Westwood… take notice of her collagen lips.
