California Stars
So it's Christmas and I'm thinking about all the friends heading back to their hometowns and homelands from this City of Angels, this city of transients many, and it makes me think of how we don't think, of you, California. I spend so much time longingly thinking of my past, the roots I can't (and shouldn't) shake. Of my native lands of Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
I spend so much time too thinking of my future. Of the lands I've yet to discover. Of the New Orelanses, the Mexicos, Moroccos and Argentinas just ahead... and I overlook you, my present. The ever gracious host, the wonderful inspiration, unassuming easiness and generous giver of friendship and opportunity that is California. So here is my love song to you.
Thank you, California. I love you.

Sometimes when it's late, and I am bored I hit the button 'Next Blog' at the top of my own page. Rarely do I stick around to read anything, in fact I don't think I ever have.
I saw 'Venice', and so I started to read.
Recently I went to Venice, I parked near the hanging sign and went into the Mollusk Surf Shop to rent a board. I'm from Indiana, and this isn't something people from Indiana do. However, I was not on a vacation per say, I was on a mission to prove somethings to myself after a divorce. Anything that seemed like I might fear it, I did anyway. Surfing the day after a Tsunami in Japan seemed like a great one.
You know the rocks about a hundred feet off the shore at Venice? Ya, I got tossed from my board, and hit my head on those. Now I'm suffering from a tear in my brain, among ailments I already had.
I went back out the very next day, and did not hit the rocks.
Special place in my heart for Venice. I like your blog, even if it is by association. I'm gonna stick around and read about your life.
Ok? Cool.
Hey!
Kinda new to the whole blog universe. I really started this whole thing because i too am traveling to Argentina! So this was my way of keeping people updated (mainly family). Seems like your liking LA. It must have better weather than Melbourne... :)
