Why the East Coast Sucks: A Qualitative Study

In honor of white settlers killing american indians, I flew back to home base for a whole three days. It was pretty fantastic all around. Though my visit was brief, I still managed to:

*Meet my brother’s latest girlfriend (she’s beautiful and thin with long blond hair and blue eyes – a perfect replica of his last 10 girlfriends, only with slightly more spunk)
*Go to Aliso Creek Beach and watch the sunset
*Drive down the freeway super fast with my brother – dancing to outkast
*Drink with my mom
*Eat fish tacos
*See the damage from all of the fires and inhale mass amounts of ash – which continues to fill the air and cover the ground and everything else with a centimeter-thick blanket of filth
*Drink with Nikki’s family
*Chill with my friend Jenny – who I hadn’t seen in almost 5 years
*Sing and smoke a bowl or two with Jenny’s boyfriend and his garage band
*Drink margaritas with thanksgiving dinner
*Eat more fish tacos and tasty tasty chipotle
*Argue with my father about the positive effects of anger management
*Watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the movie (circa 1990) with a delighted 7 year old
*Sit on the beach in Coronado in short sleeves… soaking up the deliciously warm sun


Now I’m back in miserable Maryland/DC. The second I got off the plane in Baltimore I was stunned by the frigid wave that seemed to come from the people and the winter weather. Soon after, I was charged $16 for a 4 mile cab ride to where I had parked my car at work. I’m hoping to wake up tomorrow morning to a warm smile and welcome home from Auntie Em, but I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna happen. The best I can do is grin and bear it for the next three weeks before my return to paradise.

Oh and also, John Fenner who did the cinematography for TMNT, I think, should get more props for taking a kids movie and doing it like film noir with the whole truckload of noir techniques (like chiaroscuro lighting). I remember so many scenes in that film where the film grain is so big it looks like someone kicked sand in the camera lens. It's awesome, and a must see for anyone thinking that you can't do art and commercial at the same time.

east coast punctuation could use a little work, though.

I'm curious as to how Mr. ECR found his way to threequarters. I mean, I'm assuming the others found their way via "east coast sucks" channels. Clearly, Mr. ECR has yet to attend one of those fancy east coast schools.

To say any coast sucks is absurd! So much talent and prosperity from both coasts. People put to much displaced hate on others, to put it on a coast of all things is so fucking childish, and kjk nice tupac quote, lol 2pac we feel you nigga
