The Journey Continues

I am a person who absolutely loves to travel. Of course I am always amazed at how much people and places differ so vastly from one place to another even when they are only a few hours away from each other. I always experience culture shock wherever I go but it's a shock and thrill that I live for. I love the newness of some place different even though I get weirded out by that fact that it's far from what I'm used to. It's funny b/c I live around other interns that have traveled to Europe and other places outside the US but they classify me as a "traveler" even though I have not been to places as exotic as they have. I think it is because I travel more often and stay much longer than most...and I usually do it independently without family. I tend to emmerse myself in a whole new set of friends as opposed to clinging on to the ones I travel with or the ones from home. According to them, I am extremely adaptable to my surroundings and I have something about me that makes every place that I go to home. I have grown to become a person that literally lives out my suitcase and always has my bags packed ready to find the next adventure. I guess that "something about me" thing that they were talking about is probably the fact that I'm just a restless person. They probably can sense my inability to sit still. In addition, I always have some ludacris story to tell about some random event that happened which leaves most people amazed at how varied and interesting my life is. I need to start carrying a video recorder with me b/c while reminicing with some friends, I realized that there are so many stories that I completely forgot about and have not recorded on my blog. Many of them are too detailed to write about on blogspot given the little amount of time I usually alot myself to write. But as I always say IT'S BEEN ONE HELL OF A RIDE!

Reminicing about those stories sheds a whole new perspective on my life. Yes there have been many, many trials but my life has been filled with so many experiences that most people can only dream of. Because of this I decided that in conjunction to Getting In My Head and Ghettology 101, I would also begin a blog entitled "Storytime" where I'll retell a random event that has happened to me. I'll probably do my first Storytime entry tomorrow when I have more time but until then I'll just write a quick update.....

Well, this weekend was the first time that I visited Los Angeles, California. Me and my roommate decided that we wanted to spend 4th of July in LA instead of Vegas since Vegas is incredibly too hot and we wanted to avoid the crazy influx of tourist (we feel like locals now). We also was craving the beach. I wasn't in LA long enough to give it a yay or nay. But it seems like a place that I would not mind living in (aside from the risk of earthquakes). LA is definitely a whole different place. The culture there is very different from any place that I have ever been to. I'll go into detail about my first impressions of LA soon but for the sake of time, I'll just say that LA has made a good impression on me as opposed to Vegas which to whom I have a love/hate relationship with.

There is so much to say and so litttle time to say but a detailed update will be coming soom as well as pics.....
