it is a long road but the road not taken was longer, since we decided to take the 101 ROAD instead of the pacific high way. Turns out I could not imagine my self on a nine hour drive no matter how amazing and scenic it could be. So the seven hour drive was something i could handle. We stopped at santa Barbara wear my husband went to university, and we had a yummy burrito. students riding bikes, roller blading, mostly blonde girls and boys living an alter universe where the borders of this continent are the borders of their world. They say most americans are self absorbed and do not realize that another world beyond their borders exists, i say this is a generalization and it is not fair to assume most americans are, however those who are, they should not be blamed. if i was from here, why would i know or want to know about anywhere else? unless my curiosity is stronger than normal, unless i have the means to travel, unless i have the global mind. Unless my routes stretch to the east and i miss my grandma in india or my aunt and my nephews in persia, why would i care about a world so far?
America is great, America is huge, america is spread out and it could take the average american his whole life time to see it all and afford all the plane tickets or even the fuel to drive through it. From Palo Alto to L.A everything changes, the intellectual local from Palo Alto could care less about his looks, dresses for comfort and is deeply involved in a higher cause of some sort. However the local from L.A is fully engrossed into his appearance, it is like the magic wand has sparkled some hollywood glamour over him or her making them sparkle. The music is loud, the cars are fancy, the girls are in heels instead of the flip flops that are widely popular all day long in modest Palo Alto. Welcome to hollywood where show biz is the focal point. The blonde hair that i have seen here is almost white and the routes are black, everyone would rather be a blonde here. and guys are wearing skinny jeans. The question here is: who has got the funk?
if there is any cool look that u wanted to pull off but were scared of the public opinion, here you could embrace it proudly, because everybody else is doing their thing and sparkling like crazy. Just being here you will feel like a star. My crowd from the theatre major would belong here, although they were hiding from the boring crowd which was the whole population of AUC. At a random bar you would find the over weight script writer, the sparkling rising, star, the producer, and the extras all in their dark outfits and curious eyes checking you out as you enter. heels check, make up check, in show biz check, this is the typical LA stereo type and i do not blame those who came up with it.
it is a glamorous city and people here are pretty, it is like on the borders of L.A there is a pretty or not check point. Still did not spend the night here however I wish I was a star here in L.A , I wish I was famous, the LA vibe is contagious.
