Seven years ago today I worked my last shift waiting tables at The Hollywood Standard on Sunset Blvd. Wow, Happy Anniversary to me! Right? I guess so.
Geez, I don’t know much I like living in Los Angeles. I know there are some things that I can do to make it better, but I don’t know that I will ever call Los Angeles “home”. I do my best to fake it, but it only goes so far. I’ve been here for almost 10 years, but I don’t think I’ll ever say I’m from here or that I’m a native. It’s not anything against Los Angeles per se; LA has been great to me over the years. I’ve had my challenges, but overall, moving to LA has been a very successful move for me. I just don’t like living in a huge metropolis anymore. I wouldn’t want to live in New York either. Been there done that too. I'd like to be in the suburbs with a garage to work on my car and a lawn to cut...one day.
Maybe I’d feel different about being here if I was married with children because I would need for my wife and kids to feel that they had a home, but it’s just so hectic here for me. If it wasn't for "the biz" I'd BE OUT unless I had a serious reason to stay – dating can put a twist on things.
