I'm back

Was everyone good? Do I need to whip out the sickle? I left instructions to shoot on sight, are we missing anyone?


CA was good, everyone had sick cars, with huge wheels and lots of hot women with huge breasts. If I made $500k a year I would live their in a heart beat, its a very divided place you have your "haves" on one hand with the sweet 70ft boat at the marina, hot SL55 with $10k wheels. Then you have the "have nots" the guys who work on the boat.

The boat was at Point Loma right across from the navel base, very cool place. Kind of like FL and Newport combined with a ton of Spanish influance. People were pretty laid back. I also smelled pot 3-4 times, the Mexican painter dudes smoked it up.

The Navel base was freaken cool, the F16's were loud SOB's when they took off. You could actualy feel them at full afterburner.

First of all I don't think 500k is enough for living in CA, when you consider taxes, fire insurance, earthquake insurance, etc, etc. Second, women in NY look better than those in CA, AND NYC women know how to wear their clothes, and they know how to walk, and they know how to talk and deal with people. These days even women in Moscow put CA women to shame.

Yeah, CA is great though, exciting. Last time, I took the ferry from San Francisco to Sausilito I was waiting in line and a man started screaming and banging his head against a pole, I was the only one who was concerned, but the ferry came, he stopped banging his head and we boarded and went back to SF. Then back in SF I saw a man kicking a garbage can down the middle of Market St, no one seemed to notice that either. Honestly my fav place in CA is San Diego, it beats LA and SF hands down. San Diego is the land of the civil Republican.

If I had to go to school out there I think it would be Stanford,of course I couldn't get accepted but at least the place was friendly. UC Berkeley was kind of rough and to my surprise there were a lot of snobs there!. UCLA was stuck up and cold, who knows why lol. USC was the friendliest, everyone said "hi dude" and had a 10 minute conversation with me.

I want to clarify, 500k is enough for most people, but I don't think it's enough for Hattie to live on.

My friend I disagree with you on two counts and agree with you on one.


Disagreement:

1. You don't need $500K ayear to live comfortably in California. About $450k will do nicely, thank you very much.

2. California women are the hottest, best looking women in the planet. In California you get them all...blondes, brunettes, Anglo, Asian, Hispanic, Black (or, as it is often the case a mix of all of the above). It is enough to make a faithful, happily man weep for joy!

Agreement:

USC rocks. Even way back when I was in high school I hated UCLA, I hated their campus, I hated their professors, I hated their politics and I couldn't stand their self-important students. The tgutty little Bruin mascot makes me want to puke. I've always liked USC and knew that it was the place to go to school. It is easy to be nice and friendly when you are on top of the food chain.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to California. Next time come a little farther up the coast, to the Santa Barbara area. You will never want to leave!

Bah the women were hot, IMHO NYC has everyone beat in that department, but I saw a lot of hotties.

At least in SD you cannot get good pizza. I went to a pizza place that was highly recomended, had wood fired ovens and everything, the pizza was god awfull. You are simply to far away from NYC and the Italian's that know how to cook it.

Even on the east coast, it's hard to match NY/NJ pizza. The closest I have found, which is still a pathetic, distant second place, is the pizza they make at Costco.

One must remember that pizzerias in NYC and NJ can use top quality ingredients without worrying about cost, elsewhere pizzerias are trying to earn a living by selling pizzas.

At my usual spot I pay about $15 for a large pie, in CA I forget what I paid probably about that.
