I am leaving California this Sunday evening. Yes yes. I will be back to visit, of that I'm sure. But I'm finally moving with Caity to Duluth. Why, you ask? Why would a California native forsake his broken down palace???

There's no one reason. For one thing, I really like Caity that much. But then there's the smog here. It might be the snobs. It might be the materialism. It might be the vacuum of excitement. Maybe I just want to live in a white ghetto. I don't know. There's certainly a lot of reasons.

But I've come to the conclusion that I'm moving, at least for now.

There's more stuff to do where I am now. There are more flashy things to distract from an overall social vacuum. The weather is pretty temperate, whether you choose to take advantage of that or not (I don't). There's more high society and fine dining. There are a lot of interesting people along sunset boulevard, I'm sure. There's a particular charm to blasting down PCH, top down, until it becomes a routine. There are plenty of things to distract you from what's really important. And I'd like an indefinite vacation from all that. That's not to say it's not nice at all. It's very nice, but it's much healthier in small doses. Thus, I leave. I honestly can't wait to get to Duluth...

... But it doesn't change that the opening credits to "The O.C." make me want to vomit.
