awesome to hear man! Hollywood is trashy but i love it and tell anyone who hasnt been to go. If your into music and movies look up a place called Amoeba its a giant 2 story warehouse for every kind of music and movies, its really cool. Or the New Beverly Cinema is really cool is an old movie theater thats been there since the 60's that plays all kinds of old movies usually as a double feature. I would deff go to santa monica its a really cool place and the pier is fun. Venice is Dirty and bum filled but its an adventure and something fun to see haha. I hope you have a fun time man!

I've heard that it's very different. I have a feeling that I will fit right in though, except for my strong texan twang.

It's different, but it's kinda the same. That's what kinda gets me, it doesn't seem that much different, but then she will tell me I'm about to do something wrong.

I really like the palm trees. I still haven't been to Venice Beach or Santa Monica pier. I'd like to go though. I told her I wanted to see the freaky people. She said she'd take me there next time.

Last time I was there we went to Huntington Beach, Big Bear and Las Vegas.

Huntington Beach was nice and there were interesting things for me to see. There were surf bums, beach bums, a guy playing bongos on the beach, a baby in a stroller with spiked hair, and they were playing beach volley ball next to the pier. At the end of the pier a fisherman had caught a small shark. We ate at the Subway across the street and there were surf people in there too. The waves weren't very big, but there were people surfing.

The houses are crazy expensive there. Her sister just bought a house that would go for about 70k here, but it was 375k there.

my only advice on things that may be different is just stear clear of Compton and Inglewood at night, they are not good areas to be. ive been in some situation there at night and me being a suburban white guy it was a little sketchy. But you should be fine anywhere else. Just gotta use good common sense.

Thanks for all of the recommendations and pointers guys. Between what I've heard from those who have visited, lived, or live there, it sounds like it is exactly where I want to live. I used to always have these big dreams of being a rockstar or actor but have no musical talent. That and my parents always nay-sayed every big vision I had. I've always idolized comedians like chris farley, John candy, and John belushi which made me want to pursue acting. I have been told that I am good with accents, voices, and getting into character but coming from family, it could be a biased opinion. I tried getting into theatre when I was younger but my weight problems caused stage fright. Now that I D.G.A.F I'm going to get into the local theater and get some practice so maybe when we make the big move I can try my hand at some auditions and what-not. Ever since I was around 10 or so I've wanted to live in southern Cali and now that I am finally going to visit I hope it is everything I've always dreamed it would be.

It's actually possible to meet and get to know some of the celebrities there I guess. My friend knows a few and I would have thought she was BSing me but she's sent me pics of her at parties with them.

Dude, that's Patrick Warburton that plays Jeff Bingham on Rules of Engagement!

That's cool man! I never got into Seinfeld really but my lil bro loves it. I've never watched many tv shows, but my DVD collection takes up an entire closet. I just know that in order for me to live the life I want to I either need to inherit a few million or make a few million. My multi-millionaire grandma is stingy and has 8 greedy children so I'm not even going to get into that battle. All that's left is my talents and drive to be the best at whatever I do and make it that way. With my newly developed positive attitude I KNOW I will make my dreams come true. It's like someone once said: "I think whoever wants it more is who will get what they want."
