Things I miss about SoCal
I fucking miss Southern California. I miss a lot of things
- I miss LITTLE SAIGON, for all the Vietnamese food. Despite having the second largest Vietnamese population in the world, San Jose has a shitty selection of Vietnamese food.
- I miss ROWLAND HEIGHTS. I miss feeling like I was in Asia. I miss feeling like I was either in Hong Kong or Korea (depending on which section). I miss the food. Especially the Thai food...Banana Bay, Coconut Bay, Baimon...I miss delicious Thai food from Rowland Heights. I miss making fun of Wa Ching with my friends.
- I miss King Taco. I miss good Mexican food in general
- I miss Del-Taco, the better of the two Mexican Fast Food Chain.
- I miss not having to drive 30 minutes to get to a fucking BJs.
- I miss Yardhouse and their ridiculously convenient Happy Hour beer and food. good prices, good friends, good atmosphere
- I even miss having Cantina Lounge down the street, so I can drink and get home without worrying about drunk driving. I'll always miss watching the baseball/basketball/soccer matches there. I miss going there so much that the waitresses start recognizing me. I miss showing up to class drunk because Cantina was just across the street. I could use some Carne Asada Wraps and Rosarito fries right now.
- I MISS HAVING PLACES OPEN 24/7 SO IF I COME HOME LATE AND I'M HUNGRY I CAN ACTUALLY EAT.
- I miss Oktoberfest in TORRANCE. Last year, going to OktoberFest at the Alpine Village was probably the most fun I had since going to the Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in Munich.
- I miss KARAOKE. Places where friends can just rent a room, sneak some liqour in, and just sing sing sing. I've been to a Karaoke bar at some ghetto place up here in the Japantown, but it ain't the same.
- I miss Korean BBQ.
- I miss a vibrant ska/reggae scene. The fact that I can catch See Spot, or Chris Murray at a bar not more than 10 minutes from where I lived, I definitely took for granted. Hepcat is going to be playing at House of Blues Anaheim, will I be able to go? NOPE. Compared that to the San Francisco ska/reggae scene which just flat out sucks.
- I miss being a mere 4 hours away from Las Vegas...LAS VEGAS, how I miss you.
- I miss my college friends. At least they don't deal coke.
- I miss college. I kept busy while in college. Now I'm a homeless slob live at his parents' house. I don't think I'd feel this depress if I was working, but given California's personal problems...ARGH
- I miss having something, anything to do. San Jose, despite being a bigger city than San Francisco population wise, is a fucking dead town. There's a retarded club/lounge scene, but I don't give a fuck about clubs or lounges, I just want a good bar where I can have a good time.
This was just one giant bitch fest, but it's something I needed to get off my chest
(and amusing that a good majority of the bitches were about food!)
