I was afraid of this... Four Things about L.A.

If you’ve been reading Illiad’s User Friendly comic strip the past week, you would know that an A-List blogger just linked to a C-List blogger. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then maybe I’m a C+ List blogger. Hah! Thanks to Mr. Bill Rini, I’ve been tapped to do the 4 Things About Los Angeles meme. I knew that if I was to be picked, it would be by Mr. Rini.

Iâ€™ve lived in SoCo, err SoCa my entire life, my wife has been in LA/Hollywood for at least 15 years. I’m not sure what the pull is to LA/Hollywood that brings so many people here. It’s not like the movies, LA is dirty. I don’t mean, dirrrrrrty, I mean this place is a virtual trash can. It seems like no one really cares. Maybe thats why I’m a homebody with my wife. For almpost 10 years, I had an active music review site, UnEarthed.Com, that had millions of hits each month. It was cool, but now, it just seems like work, and I’d rather not waste my free time with “work”. I’m also over LA.

Some Pizza place in between the Roxy and Whisky on the Sunset Strip. Never remembered the name, but the Pizza was great!
