i want to go swim.

first let me get the business portion of this post out of the way. first order of business, the music has been taken off this blog. lately ive realized that i (like a lot of you) am not a fan of the music on blogs thing. also, there have been about three songs that i originally liked but now cant stand because it reminds me of my blog. we at sorisoclothing have been wanting to do this for a while now but have not had the energy to make an attempt at doing so until this morning when i heard welcome back kotter and realized if i hear that song one more time im going to, i sat looking at the computer screen for two minutes trying to think of something to say here and nothing came so basically i was just sick of the song and so lets move on. last order of business, i looked at my profile and there for some reason has been over 600 views of that thing. i know only about 6 people look at this blog so who is it that is so interested in seeing what books im interested in? now for the good stuff, the hot and heavy stuff, the juice. (note from editor: there are no pictures so far. all pictures were taken with a normal 35mm film camera and the film is being developed, the pictures will be scanned and the first installment of danenielsonphotography.blogspot.com which isnt a real website but a subwebsite on sorisoclothign.blogspot.com (did that make sense?) I went to LA for the first time this last weekend. it was weird that it was my first time because i live farely close and have been around LA many times. everytime i go to a city i leave witht he knowledge of whether i liked the city or not. New York, i loved it would like to live there for a time. Washington D.C., loved it, would also enjoy living there for a time. San Diego, love downtown, think i could establish residence there, Phoenix, love it, could also establish residence there and be happy. Albuquerque, i dont want to go back. Canada side of Niagara Falls, besides the water fall part, could do without going back. Reno, i am starting to ease up on the place but still left not wanting to return. anyways, i have always had a bad feeling about LA. i dont know why. well i do know why and those reasons were solidified during my visit. LA pros and cons list. Cons: Lakers and Dodgers fans all over, traffic, parking, how long it takes to get from point A to point B,there are so many radio stations you cant find a station for ipod car adapters to work. Pros: the houses, best place ive ever been to people watch, the planetarium, how random places turn cool once you hear they were in movies (such as the planetarium where the last fight scene of The Rocketeer was filmed), they have a radio station that just plays old regular nintendo songs, the old trees, roscoes chicken and waffles. okay there are more but i got to move on because i have a feeling that this is going to be long, but while at roscoes chicken and waffles we ran into the cast of some zach and cody show on disney and i swear, no one really believes me, one of the guys from the movie hairspray was sitting at the table next to us, ive only seen the movie once and it was more than a year ago, but i am 95 percent sure. okay, enough about LA, i hate and i love it i guess. the day before jonnys wedding we went to his bachelor party which brian boyer put together so of course it was surfing. it felt very californian so we made a goal to listen to jack johnson and the beach boys the whole way to the beach that we were meeting at. it was all really fun stuff. speaking of music, the trip made me wonder if people from california still like tu pac's "california love". just wondering. we held the first session of boogie nights. eric "prime minister of the boogie" presided and tidal wave 20,000,000 taught us all a lesson or two on ripping waves. i think it was the highlight of the trip. theres something about being in the ocean at midnight, everything is funnier. in closing, sorry this is so long.
