Because instant messaging doesn't cut it anymore...

I had a bad week last week. However, it doesn't compare to my buddy Seth's week so far.....And it's only Wednesday!

Here is an email he sent:


OK
Wake up Monday feeling like shit...call in sick
I make an appt. to see the doctor...(hard to get) for 11:15
I pull myself out of bed, and My car brokedown...
I have to order a towtruck to take it to BMW. Cancel my appt.
Reschedule for 3:30, Take Peter's car there.
While waiting and waiting for the doctor, they forgot about me and misplaced my paperwork!
They then send me over to Urgent care because their office was now closed. Finally see a doctor to tell me....its not bacterial. Great. Gives me some average meds. Go to the Pharmacy, yep, 2 hour wait. FUCK IT, i go home.....in the worst traffic ever!
So bad, all the streets by my house are jammed, so i just park peters car down the block because it was too difficult to get to the no permit section.
Next day, go to work...BOO!
Then i get a call from peter that he got a ticket (MY TICKET)
Come home yesterday, just want to cook dinner and sleep.
open the microwave and burn the crap out of 4 fingers on my left hand.
They are all blistery and WILL NOT stop stinging.....
STILL STINGING....Try to go to bed and still stinging.
So i get up, get in my car and track down an open pharmacy to get something....to stop the stinging.
Finally get home, lay in bed, in pain and now it is 9AM on wednesday feeling GRAND!!!!


Well Seth, enjoy the rest of your week!

My alarm goes off at 6:40am. I wake up to the sounds of the hilarious Kevin and Bean talking to the sexy Elisha Cuthbert. I look out my window and it's another beautiful day in Southern California. The sun is out and it's 75 degrees. I hop in my car and drive to work where I have a television, a DVD player and a VCR on my desk!

I'm living the dream....Well, at least my dream.

But it always makes me wonder: Why do people hate Los Angeles so much?

I have been here my entire life. I grew up in the Valley, went to USC, and now I live in Hollywood. Right after I graduated, most of my close friends moved away. One went to Italy and now lives in St. Louis. One went to Denver and now lives in New York. One went to Japan and now lives in San Francisco. Others desperately wanted to move back to where they were from: San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, Boston.

Why the rush? Why deal with the constant terrible weather in cities like Chicago, St. Louis, or New York. Why deal with the constant crowds of more enclosed cities? Why deal with tons of skyscrapers and no vegetation? Why live somewhere that has no ocean?!

I'm going to guess there are 2 main reasons why people hate Los Angeles: Traffic and the people.

Ok, so I completely understand the traffic issue. I hate it too. There are so many damn cars in this city and great public transportation. I am personally scared to take a bus and the subway has no convienent stops for me. So, traffic, yes, is a bitch.

However, many people from out of town who come to live here say that Los Angeles residents are too"hollywood." These Woodies (people who are too hollywood) care too much about the way they look and how much money they are making. These are the people that you see outside the Griddle or Toast on a Saturday or Sunday morning who look like they got dressed up to go to a club, when they are actually just going to eat egg whites and banana pancakes. These are the same people who are waiting outside Spider Club, Shelter, Tropicana or LAX on one of the star-studded nights bragging to the people next to them that they share the same drug dealer as the promoter so they are on the list. Woodies also love their silicone and nose candy. Basically, Woodies are fake.

Now, I am not saying that I haven't had my Woodie experience. I think we all have. I ended up at Bruce Willis' birthday party once and thought that I was coolest guy ever. I went to school with Nicole Ritchie, so when I see her out I feel cool that I know her. But I think the people who are Woodies all the time are the annoying ones.

But when it comes down to it, I can spend the night at St. Nicks, or I can see a movie, or I can even stay home. And I think most people in LA can do that. The Woodies make up such a small percentage of LA. There are so many different types of people in this city that it is really impossible for someone not to fit in.

I just don't get it.

Well, here is a treat for this Friday. Please watch and tell me if this video makes ANY sense!
