Back in my state :)

So I've been in california for about two months now. I am beyond happy to be back and that I have a job :) It's not the amazing sound guy that I was going to work for but a bigger better company (Deluxe). I love what I do and have never been more proud of myself. The only thing I'm not liking is that there is such a huge change in culture out here. I grew up in a white ass neighborhood with maybe 10 gay people and 5 deer. Coming out here and venturing down Santa Monica Blvd is still just really shocking to me. I still don't like materialism and fakeness and that's what I find a lot out here. I don't see a point in having a 2000 dollar wine rack or a 350 dollar set of book ends. Just doesn't make sense to me. I also don't understand why the people who scream that the white straight male (encompassing EVERYONE here not just one specific "group") is so hateful have so much hate themselves. I read a blog about west hollywood everyone once in awhile when I feel like being bitchy (yes there are days where I want to be a bitch) and it just FLOORS me that they can post such hateful things about one another and can't understand why the general public thinks their lifestyle is "sinful" and wrong. That goes the same for anything/anyone really. These people preach hatred towards the people who are hating the yet within their own group they hate them as well. Hate is hate no matter which way you look at it.
