Bad News:

I have to be in LA by tuesday, where I will be working until January. I hate LA more than any city in the country. I'd rather sleep curbside in Houston than stay in the finest LA hotel. It's a 24 hour drive from Dallas.













Good News:

I have an awful cold, couldn't leave this morning as planned, and will instead enjoy my first Cowboys game in HD today.:D

Just curious why you hate L.A. so much. For me, there's no other place I'd rather be.

Only thing missing here are the Cowboys.

Weather is great.

Traffic is awful.

From my industry standpoint, the people are awful.

There is good and bad in every city. There are a few things I like. It's just not my kind of place.

Edit: For instance - I love NY. I'm just not a west coast person, I suppose.

I think this is kinda what I mean. Some people are SoCal, some aren't.

I can agree with your take on the people and traffic. The housing market is absolutely outrageous...come to think about it -- you're right!

What the heck am I doing here?

It really is pretty - I love driving the PCH. But I could definitely never live there.

Not that Dallas is my favorite place.

I do love Northern California, though.

I just realized it's the sushi and the beautiful women that draws me here.

My biggest gripe about L.A. is all the pretentiousness. Just all too fake. Then again, I'm more of a blue collar, jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. I am going to San Diego in January. I hope there are some regular folks there and it isn't populated with just illegals and uptight snobs!

No shortage of that here. And better tax rates.

your right CR I am socal just like you are a texan. We are good people. We know how to work hard and have fun at the same time. So yes I am so "socal". Thats why I moved back here after graduation. I'll enjoy the 65-70 weather in the winter while you freeze. And your traffice is just as bad as ours. Ever try driving down McArthur blvd at 6 in the evening? Its bad.
