West Coastin: part 1

So, as it turns out, Cali is pretty F*****G sweet!!! I went to L.A. this past weekend and my eyes were opened to the endless possibilities of life. I met some AMAZING women and fell in love with Los Angeles.

Friday: Flew into L.A. at 3pm after 3 hours sleep the night before. I stepped outside the airport and was met with the refreshing California sunshine...a softer sunshine in Cali…maybe why the people are cooler J

My homey Lee Davis picked me up from LAX and brought me to his apt in West L.A. He went back to work, so I jumped on his bike and cruised West! I have a very very well calibrated internal compass and internal clock. Both of which are completely thrown off by the West Coast. My compass is set according to the Atlantic Ocean and my clock is set on eastern standard time. So when I say that I went west to the beach, it’s still confusing.

I cruised up to Santa Monica Beach on Lee’s brushed aluminum Electra beach cruiser and began my weekend love affair with Los Angeles. It was such an amazing site! I was on a cliff looking down on the mighty Pacific Ocean and was immediately surrounded with Cali <3. I was sitting there, sun gazing; taking in the beauty of the air and the flowers, watching the hummingbirds imitating the bees. I was at peace.

Then out of somewhere this beautiful soul sits down near me with her little dog Penny and smiles at me. We started talking and instantly had a connection. She’s a vegetarian with raw food tendencies, yoga, spirit…we are from the same tribe. We spoke, smiled, laughed, and connected. The sun set, she went her way, I went my way and at that point I felt the California connection. The connection is a consciousness for connection & oneness.

I then cruised over to Whole Foods and discovered the amazing West Coast food scene! My first taste was of a Sumo Mandarin...amazing! Seedless, sweet, easy to peel, perfect! I ate 40 of these citrus gems during my 3 days in Cali.

Next stop the other Whole Foods up the street. Here I ate a bag of kale chips, a raw chocolate bar, and a bottle of Mountain Valley Spring Water. Funny that these first four things I ate became my staples throughout my stay. I ate 6 bags of kale chips, 5 lbs of raw chocolate, and I drank 10 bottles of MVS water.

I decided that I would eat all raw on this trip.

Later that night Lee, Ilayda(Lee’s gf), and I hit the local drum & bass scene. AK-1200, DJ Dara, and a whole lot of rowdy bass youths at the DragonFly bar. This was exactly what I needed! LALA Land BASS…you feel no pain! I must say…reluctantly…that the D&B scene is more grimey in L.A. then MIA L These cats were str8 moshing the whole time! LOL I was under the false assumption that legalizing marijuana would chill people out. I’m guessing that this was a sativa, rather than indica crowd J
