When I first visited Los Angeles; lets see maybe 1996 or 97'? I know my parents had taken me there when I was small, but I dont exactly remember why we were there. I think we went to hollywood and I couldnt get over the fact of how LA seemed so congested and pretentious. Most of the citizens seemed rude and very egocentric. I had always considered Los Angeles as the place I would only visit if I had to; mainly to catch some of my favorite musical acts or particular events that seemed fun.
Up until about 4 or 5 years ago. I started getting very interested in what was going on in the city, like something that wasnt going on anywhere else.
Even more so in the past 2 or 3 years.
I couldnt get over that all the artists in this area seem to be holding hands and just having a goodtime breathing the same air and being near each other and hearing the same stuff and just being.
Furthermore, my state of mind of LA has grown immensely in a positive fashion.
