This is great. Overall, LA sucks. I’ve been there several several times. I’d rather be in Chicago and New York anyday. As an urban sociologist it is not a city by any means. It’s a GLORIFIED SUBURBS with mindless viewpoints.

TAKE THE SUBWAY FOR ONCE

Please forgive my absence as upon my return,I’m still experiencing a city that continually grows more lost!,thus making me have to continue to correct,and set this non-reality living,self aggrandizing,botox/collagen/fake breast having,automobile/celebrity worshipping(Oh Gee.let’s all read about Britney Spears leaving the “NUT HUTT” today!)or (Extra-Paris Hilton Took A Fart This Morning)making headline news!,mixed up,ass backwards,clueless,cesspool of a “UNDERACHIEVING AND LOVING IT!” kinda city straight! Welcome to LOST ANGELES folks where the mottos are:1)The “TRUTH” is only what you can deceive others into believing it is! 2)If something totally stupid hasn’t been done in awhile,please be patient as it’s on the way!lol

My poor friend Oscar,and other unfortunately dilusional types,tell me how blind and naive can you be? Is it something that they put into the lenses of those fake Rayban shades of yours? Pasadena Rose Parades?,Glitzy Bel Air you say? Unfortunately that only supports the great socioeconomical divide here in Lost Angeles where self worth=net worth,and little you,big me mentality is the order of everyday!, as the folks in Bel Air couldn’t give lesser of a DAMN about you until it comes time for you to mow their lawn,re-tile their roof,pick their fruits and veggies, work in their mansions, nanny their babies, or wash their dirty underwear!lol! The Getty & LACMA? I doubt they would hire you to provide janitorial services to either!,besides,who wants to stand around looking at fake,unimaginative,and surly art for $10 a pop! I can get better “ART” for free by walking through skid row downtown! The Pacific Ocean? Oh,you mean that largely polluted body of water that often features dead fish,industrial waste,human waste,medical wastes,dead bodies,and god knows whatever else washing ashore? Fish are jumping “OUT” of that ocean trying to survive!LOL!The Valley Porn Industry? Gee..I wonder how many hot 8 year old girls posed for the camera today?So Oscar my friend,any attempt at rebutting my aforementioned facts are as dead in the water as those Pacific ocean fish!lol.

Pinche Ric the Transplant. Pounding the Haterade & taking it out on Losanjealous. Even if you took out Hollywood & Beverly Hills, you still have a lot of great cities. Does Memphis & Arkansas have a Pasadena Rose Parade? Burbank film & recording studios? A ritzy Bel Air? A Silverlake Music Scene (Not just country)? Numerous museums like The Getty & LACMA? The Pacific Ocean? The Valley Porn industry!? He must not get out of his city he’s living in like the “Native Angelenos” he rants about…..

Lost Angeles SUCKS!!!, and at this point, I really don’t think much can be done about it as this place has sucked for sooooooo long! Los Angeles tries to represent itself as a 24 hour “happening” kind of city!, but, the only things that are open in L.A after 10pm are usually some cornhole nightclubs! Hollywood isn’t even a 24 hour entity. If you were to take Hollywood and Beverly Hills out of L.A, then this place would be like Memphis, or Arkansas or somewhere with a bunch of countryfied, front porch jumping typed people! 2)There is no real social cohesion in Los Angeles! It’s very hard to feel that you’re truly “CONNECTED” to anyone, or anything here! In L.A, you can have a grown person that has spend their whole life growing up in Compton and has NEVER been to Covina, or East L.A!, and really doesn’t want to go! Surely, people work around each other and sit on the bus next to each other!, but, when it’s over,you go back to your part of the world, and I will do the same! It seems as though people in L.A really don’t want to know what’s going on in each other’s neighborhoods, cultures,etc!, thus adding to the separatist “I’m BETTER than you!”,or “You’re NOT my kind!, so,I don’t really want to have anything to do with you!”mentality! 3)Cars are built in detroit!, but, they were born in L.A- If you don’t have a car in L.A, you are looked at like you are a NOBODY!! Hard to get jobs, dates, or anything else! It’s more than just a mode of transportation, it’s a status symbol!, and a way that folks can separate themselves from each other! 4)Horrible gang problems! 5)Very dry(It hardly every rains!, so how can the earth be cleaned?)dirty, and decrepid place!, especially downtown L.A! 6)Seemingly clueless civic leaders! 7)You have a place that has a 70 percent Mexican population that pretty much overwhelms and decides the “culture” of the city! I know that L.A “USED” to belong to Mexico!, but, where does that leave other cultures in the city?

But if this location were used in a TV or movie show they would say the story “takes place in Pittsburgh” or Chicago.
