the novelty of living in southern CA wears off after a few years...the only reason i stay here is b/c my girlfriend is out here and she doesnt wanna leave her family...its a cool place and all with loads of hot wiminz(many of whom are gold digging whores) but a lotta douchebag guys...the people seem to lack a "realness" so to speak that you find back in the east...i grew up on the east coast and the people just seem more down to earth...you know the people close to you would do pretty much anything for you and always have your back...i can see why people like it here beautiful weather and all but its just different if you didnt grow up in it i guess...plus its crazy expensive
