And bam we are out of overpriced California. But I love San Diego. It’s not as crowded or dirty and polluted as Los Angeles. Plus the people are more down to earth and not as pretentious or fake. You wouldn’t believe how many name droppers there are in LA LA land.
Nobody cares to know you had eye contact with so and so or you were an extra of an extra on some tv show or movie nobody heard of. And then after all that bragging you go wait some tables at a 24 hour diner. Or youre just some trust fund kid with no purpose in life. Make something happen don’t brag about some fake life that doesn’t really exist. And don’t act like a damn big shot when you’re nobody. Too many losers in LA LA land who wait tables who think they are somebody special.
Plenty of people make things happen and work on their own things or they work on great projects. They don’t need to brag about “this big break” that will happen some day.
Big break? Come on now. The big break is when these wanna be actors and actresses and writers are long gone. People with no talent just want their 15 minutes of fame and sell their bodies and souls for what? 99 percent of them never make anything. They also don’t have any real purpose except
To become famous and rich. Sad really.
And then there arw The sob stories we always hear about. Hell even some who do make a few bucks and garner a bit of fame really never made it. And they never made it because it’s not just about fame and money. Yeah it might happen and there are plenty of bad ideas and actors and writers who become wealthy. Then they overdose or disappear and people wonder what happened.
“the creative geniuses” have a hard time they say. Might be True in a sense. The Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Morrison’s or Michael Jacksons of the world were great artists who died young. Their madness made them great but also killed them. But the Corey Haims of the world? It’s sad to see somebody die and waste away their life but come on now. Nobody thought this was a sad day for hollywood. It was a sad day for his friends and family and fans. But he wasn’t some creative genius. Hell he wasn’t even any good when he was popular over 20 some odd years ago.
Sad? Yes. A true loss? Not moreso than anybody else who dies because of drugs and alcohol or anything else.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that besides a Santa Monica here and a Beverly Hills there, Los Angeles is really one big dump. Remove Hollywood and celebrities from the mix and who would ever want to visit or even live in Los Angeles? It’s really a blue collar town without many jobs. Shipping industy and sweatshops and a bunch of mom and pop like stores from a variety of cultures and personalities. But they all survive because it’s “Hollywood” and not much else. Like I said if there were no Hollywood LA might just be another Camden or Newark or Tacoma. Or it could even become like Detroit. Who knows. Places that have tons of potential and culture but due to No good jobs, various education issues, corruption and lack of hope, they are run down and in a sense, hopeless communities. I think Newark, NJ has improved over the Years but not enough.
It’s sad really.
Really sad when you see ads on tv from celebrities and politicians pushing for donations from normal everyday working people who can barely afford their mortgages or rent or even food. Make a difference? It’s kind of ridiculous when somebody gets paid 20 million a movie or 20 million a year to swing a bat or throw a football pushes people who might earn 12 bucks an hour for money. Americans always donate. Some people donate more than
Others but don’t need to inform the world that they are doing so.
Anyway Thats my Thoughts.
