I Love U L.A., But U've Chosen Darkness

A few months ago, something big happened in my lil Alt life.
Something bsides liquidating my future retirement fund.
This big event was Moving 2 L.A.

Hence, the name of this blog. [L.A. Nouveau translates 2 the New Los Angeles, in case u were still unaware, slowpoke bogens]
Hence, the ideas that r expressed in this posting site.
Hence, the way I currently live my lil life...

- Like raging at epic concerts in the L.A.area.
- Like taking pixx of nature/the skyline/the mts.
- Like trying 2 get a tan at thebeach.
- Like soaking up the sun.

Which is why I get quite angsty/upset/grumpy/grungy when its Cloudy.


The picture above is an exmpl of what LosAngeles isnt nd shouldnt b like.

Maybe its ok 4 Chicago 2 b completely Cloudy.
Maybe its ok 4 NorCal/SanFran 2 b completely Cloudy. Mostly bcuz its just not as nice as SoCal. Couldnt resist stirring up some drama with this lil antiNorCal commnt.
Maybe its ok 4 Manchester, UK 2 b completely Cloudy.
Maybe its ok 4 Syracuse, NY 2 b completely Cloudy.

But its rly not ok 4 L.A. 2 b completely Cloud-covered.
As Mr. G once said in his self-titled musical production, "It's just not right."

Cuz it brings us Angelenos down.
It makes w'all unable 2 do the L.A.-like things that we usually like 2 do.
Just makes us feel angsty nd pissy.
Want 2 call upon the 1
979 song/album by the.Electric.Light.Orchestra. 2 relay my message 2 the Clouds that currently hang over the city of LosAngeles: "Dont Bring Me Down".

h8 2 sound like a spoiled brat.
h8 2 nag since most of u's all have 2 deal with cloudyness a lot.
But srsly.
U dont go 2 Rome nd expect 2 eat shitty food.

U dont travel 2 MexicoCity nd expect 2 not have ur lungs severely affected.
U dont move 2 Chechnya nd expect 2 not b kidnapped.
Nd u dont relocate 2 LosAngeles nd expect 2 deal with Overcast Cloud-filled days like 2day.

This whole lack-of-abundant-sunshine thing makes me think of an AltBand with a truly epic name that i only recently found.
Altho theyve been around 4 the last few yrs, theyre starting 2 get a lil more exposure in the mp3Blogosphere.
The name of the IndieQuartet MusicalGrouping is I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness.
So enjoy this lil song of theirs, wonderfully titled "Your Worst is the Best".

Displacemnt, Containmnt, Txs.

LAnvo is officially temporarily displaced.

Consequently, now wud be a good time for tears.
Cuz I bring u this post from Texas. Txs.
Except, I know this sounds kind of ignornt, but i thought most of Txs was Hot. Like temperature-wise. Cuz nothng much else about it is.

But srsly, it is not hot here right now.
And when I say "not hot," I mean it's literally under 40º F.

LA might have a shit ton of problms, but at least the idea that it's a warm place actually holds true... unlike this shitshow lay-over locale.

And it's this myth of Txs wthr that makes u think...
What if all the othr nasty rumors surrounding Txs aren't really true?
What if there are actually some smart ppl that live here?
What if evryone isn't another Dubya?
What if some of the people here actually embrace cultural diversity?
What if Txns actually think of themselves as Americans first?
What if I cud raise a family here without being worried that my kids would turn into cowboys?
What if Txs is actually the best new indie quick-wknd-getaway place to hit the scene since Vegas nd Cleveland?


Cud this actually one day be possible? Cud George Walker Bush's exit from the Whte House and Obama's entry bring the kind of change that could enable Txs to emerge as "cool," "chic," or even, dare I say, "ALTRNATIVE?"

But srsly, with the economy currently skydiving without a parachute off the Sears Twr hoping to take a voyage to purgatory, long fancy vacations are on the way out.
But with the stress level of humans worldwide being shot out of a ultra-powerd cannon that launches shit at a million mph where the wind feels like a gravel sidewalk against ur face, ppl will need more short, stress-relieving breaks, aka
WKND GETAWAYZ.

Which leads me to ponder about wht the new hot spot wknd getaways will be in the nxt year or two... could it be Txs?
Or maybe Long Beach?
Or maybe, just maybe, I'll hope and pray... Sarasota?!?!
Whts ur thoughts? Fill me in on any future hot spot wknd getaway leads that u might have.
COMMNT AWAY.

It ain't wrong to have superheroes.

There's only two types of people in the world.
The one's that entertain
and the one's that observe.

That right there is a new quote from a good friend of mine.
And when I say good friend, I really mean personal idol.

She's a "put-on-a-show kinda girl."
She "don't like the backseat, (she's) gotta be first."
She's "like the ringleader," she "calls the shots."

She's "like a firecracker," she "make(s) it hot" when she "run(s) a show."
She's fking Britney.

And her new single is un-fking-stoppable.
Srsly.
I promised that in this blog I wouldn't give too much insight to who I, the author, actually is.

But let me be clear about something: I'm not some Brit-ubsessed homo-erotic freakshow.
I'm not some flaming bag of peppermint-citrus-flavored candy-coated dung. I do have a legitimate attraction to women. (Guilty.)

But srsly, Britney Spears is EPIC.
And her new album "Circus" is gonna be pretty excellent.
Especially with her new single, titled like the album, "Circus".

And it's here. On LA Nouveau.
(Worship me later, listen to this shit first.)


So in other news, I am so overcum by this song that I can't even fathom anything else to blog about.
And I know I said I would post more about M83, cuz they do fking rock, but this is Brit Brat's moment, and I gotta let her have this one.
We'll go back to M83 tmrw, or the nxt day.

But one thing:
If its cold out where ur currently reading this, then that is a DAMN SHAME. But it's burning up down here in LA. Literally and figuratively.
Nd i'm scared. Scared that my dorm will burn down.
But even more scared about heading back east in a few days, where its fking freeeeeezing.

Nd my angst level bcuz of that, and so many othr naturally unfortunate events in life, is RIDICULOUSLY HIGH to the point of Xtreeeeme.
Like, the photo on the left Xtreeeeme.

I leave you with that.

(Lack of) Peace, (Not much) love, (So much) bitch,
José
