Almost Post-Thnkswknd Thoughts

The wknd is almost over.
Nd by weekend, I mean the nine days that I've been away from LA.
So I guess wknd isn't really the right word to describe this period of time.
But what else 2 call it?
Thnxgvng Break? Break from What? I liked life before, I didn't need a break... Okay so maybe I did, but this sure didn't feel like a Break.
Thnxgvng Vacation? Psh. That's a definite No. A vacation is usually defined as a time apart from ur stressful miserable life spent in a location that u want to visit and enjoy, not the opposite.
Thnxgvng Pause? Now that just doesn't even make sense.

Regardless of what u want to call these last nine days spent back in the Northeast in the town I grew up in, I have gained some new insight into my life nd the lives of others during this _____ (insert desired name for time spent "back home").
Nd out of all the things I've learned, the most pivotal one is the following:

I RUV LA.
I fking ruv it. Nd by ruv, I clearly mean LOVE.
I love LA so much, I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
But srsly, there's a lot of messed up bullsht things about LA.
The traffic sucks.
The pollution + smog sucks.
The lack of public transportation sucks.
The potential for wildfires + mega earthquakes sucks.

But there's something about that warm sun, those palm trees, nd that HipsterChic totally pitted LA lifestyle that always put a smile on my face.


Hate New York City, it's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys uptight bitches
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos, that town's a little bit too rugged fking freezng
For you and me, babe

Rollin' down Imperial Highway with a big nasty (?) redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north nd we was born to ride
Roll down the window, put down the top, crank up the Beach Boys MGMT,
Baby don't let the hipster music stop, we're gonna ride it 'til we just can't ride it no more
From the South Bay to the Valley, From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy, 'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like anothr perfct day
I love L.A. (We ruv it!)
I love L.A. (We ruv it!)

But yet, I don't return for anothr two days... FK MY LIFE.

Don't get me wrong back there with that video though, I do love New York.
Like, extremely. It's been pretty much the only rewarding thing about being home so far.
And at some point in my life, I would love to live in the City that Never Sleeps
Take the subway to work evry morning
Becum a total Webster Hall rat
Live nd Breathe Hipster Chic in Williamsburg, Brklyn.

Nd that time will cum.

But 4 now, LA is where I gotta be.
Now if only I could actually be there...

Biznatch 4 evr,
José
