In San Francisco, sipping on an expertly made soy latte (they use vanilla soy and have the patience to create good foam with soy, not easy, but doesn't take a whole lot of extra effort either). I really like this city a lot, I like the way it feels to be here, I like the way the light bounces off of everything in the east bay and daily city, it makes downtown glow from every dirrection. It's what LA could look like, if there wasn't that death cloud hanging above us at all times. Although I have to say that LA wins out for the late afternoon light, that time at like 3-5 pm when the sun shifts from the harsh yellow of mid afternoon to that heavy, saturate amber/gold. And that plus the smogy smog.....brilliant.
I do like this city, i like my friends more though. I guess when it comes down to it, thats what a place, a home, really means. You just have to find that place where, without any exersion of effort, you find yourself surrounded by people and places you love. And you really luck out when what you do to make money falls in line with everything else you love about a place. The ideal situation.
Here's to ideals.
