New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down.

The world doesn't want me to go to the East Coast.I have tried, twice now in two months, to make a sojourn to the Tri-State Area and both times, have been stopped by forces in my life and now, by forces in other's lives.

The world is saying to me: Stay in California. Say "hella". Put avocado and sprouts on everything. Toast your bagels. It's a freeway, not a highway. A hooded sweatshirt and a light pea coat is perfectly acceptable outerwear in December. Pizza should have as many toppings as possible. Don't walk too fast, don't talk too fast or too loud. Say "hella" another 10 times in 5 minutes - feels good, doesn't it?

And you know what? It does. I am yours now, California. To do whatever you want to do. Like most things worth having, I'll lose you when I'm good and ready.
