-california coast.

First post.

California has been my main anchor here. The essence of all the Beach Boys sang about. Keeps me rooted to this country; my father’s homeland. Long Beach is the town, to be more precise. Just the name takes me to another mindset. It really does. A more relaxing escape for me to be. Even if it is only in my head most of the time. I don’t get to travel to my peace place as often as I’d like. Unfortunate, yes. But life goes on.

Last visit? One word: ecstacy. California is one enormous state though. A road trip from north to south, and then back north, was a little intense. All I have to say is thank god for satellite radio. Who would have thought my favorite station would have been the comedy stand up channel. Kept me going on those seemingly never ending roads where the coast seemed to be picturesque in similar exactness. Probably woke up the ghost towns we passed. All you could hear for miles was my insane, quite manic, laughter. Might have been my boredom, but I thought those comedians were really, really funny.
