Los Angeles is the strangest city in the world. I swear it as a true and faithful relation.

Every cult in the world has an outpost in Los Angeles. I suppose it?

I love Los Angeles. It’s a strange attractor for creative, smart, funny, sexy people. I couldn’t live anywhere else.

There is no normal here.

this is just fantastic. i’ve been here all of my 24 years, save a couple in santa cruz, and good god it is so naturally weird here. santa cruz seemed to strain to “keep itself weird”, while LA goes through constant changes and always stays fucking bizarre.

only here could i have gotten nearly entangled in a cult while working for its front company, an advocacy group for medical marijuana. all while i was already in the middle of writing a story about the cult scene of this town. talk about being thrust into hands-on experience..

Agreed, there is no normal and everything is always ok, no worries right?  There’s veils upon veils and that makes it alluring; the unexpected things are hidden in plain sight like oil derricks in the middle of the parking lot.  At the coffeeshop the homeless look like rockstars and the rockstars look homeless—we like our mocking metro mishmosh because it has room for so many types of magic to flourish. 

The whole city has a strange sparkle, or perhaps it’s the smoglight.
Babylon Westside bitchez!

Southern California is a magnet for suckers, spiritual and otherwise.

Good stuff, keep up the good scribbles. L.A. has been America’s Petri dish for religion for more than a century. Identifying the sunshine/illusion dyad is a fundamental insight.
