on LA, circa 2004

i love LA. i know i'm not supposed to because it's smoggy and gross and disgusting and there's weird people in hollywood and you can't get anywhere without a freeway that's jammed and there's never cheap parking and there's exhaust and you can't breathe but there is something about this city that sucks you in spits you out and you don't really seem to mind. an energy. teeming with people crammed to the gills with cars just mad chaos. is it ADD? perhaps. and then you get to PCH and it's calm, even when your sitting with 5 million other people in cars. you roll down the window hear the surf breathe the fresh air see the sun glinting on waves crashing into cliffs coming down a hill to see a coastline rocky and hilly and crammed with beautiful beachfront homes and then it makes it all worth it. that coast. it sucks you in even if you hate all of LA.
