So I just got back from a tour through Las Vegas and Los Angeles and I learned a couple of things about the world and about myself.

Las Vegas is evil evil evil. It's such a sinful place and it tempts you with its 1200 sq foot hotel rooms, 36,000 sq foot nightclubs, and casinos with free booze. It brings out the party hungry who seem to live for living lavishly and looking the part. And the place convinces you that the Las Vegas way is the only way to live. I got suckered by it for a moment, and although I can feel a little LV withdrawal, I'm glad to be back to seeing grass and people that work hard.

Los Angeles on the other hand is everything I love about big cities. Much like how New York turned me into a hopeless romantic, Los Angeles is the second city that makes me wish I could throw my whole life aside and pursue the perfect urban lifestyle.

What is it about afflictions of the heart that makes people convince themselves to do stupid things that don't make sense?

Running away to Cali makes perfect sense. It's always warm. Needless to say it makes more sense when winter hits in Toronto.

I haven't been to LA for any length of time... but I can't imagine being to tolerate the heat and smog during the summer.

I even find NYC's air pretty foul. But I detest NYC for many other reasons.

You can do no wrong if you follow your heart. It's like your penis, only cleaner.

But you're not gonna find urban bliss in LA. Personal bias, I suppose, but it's a shitty place to live.
