Are people fleeing California?



I'm seeing quite a few of these commercials on TV lately, and am wondering if California is having trouble getting people to come visit. I don't think anyone ever says to themselves "I think I want to visit South Central Los Angeles next spring." and then books their flight and hotel.



Apparently, they are amping up their tourism advertising because of the recent fires. Not a bad move, if you ask me. Not that anybody does. These ads also sound like they need more people to move to California. Do they really need more people? Maybe they need more tax revenue. I think that is a bad move.

PGR4 (or Thank God I Rented this Game!)

Project Gotham Racing 4 (PGR4) is a racing game by Microsoft Games Studios and Bizzare Creations. From what I had been hearing this wasn't a bad game. I figured instead of dropping $60 on a game I hadn't been anticipating, I would rent it. And thank God I did! I'm not saying that PGR4 is a bad game, it's not. I'm just iterating that it's boring. I guess if I had been more excited, like I was for Forza 2 (pronounced "Fortza Too"), getting into this game would not have been a problem. But it was. I've had the game for 3 days and have played it twice. And I've only really enjoyed myself once. I'm not a big fan of losing my first race, or my second race, or my third race, or my...well, I think you get it by now. Normally with a slightly difficult game I really wouldn't have a problem, but it's a freakin' racing game! I'm slightly good at racing games, I don't lose races until it starts getting hard. I'm n...

Altered Weapon, Redux. (or "How I am learning to love myself, and you can too."

I always thought that I could be someone great. Whether it be a famous actor, millionaire, business mogul, or anything else. The sky was the limit. Ability was never the issue. I have ability for days. I'm sure you feel the same way. There is nothing that we cannot do, no mountain we cannot climb, no obstacle that we cannot overcome. But that isn't the truth. That is far from it. The truth is that I am lost. Unhappy, unsatisfied, and searching for meaning, I've never been given direction, never been coached, never had someone take the time to invest in my ability. This sucks. If you are feeling the same way, I am so sorry. That is painful. That is the world we live in. But what can we do about it? What can I do? We can share our knowledge. We can give what we have not received. Advice. There are people out there who are in our shoes, only younger. The combined knowledge we have has the possibility of changing a person's life. It can make them successful. It can save t...

A Waste of Time of the Apocalypse

  The end of days, revelations, Ragnarok, the era of Mad Max (before Thunderdome), a large chunk of the universe is obsessed with the concept of the end of the world. Doomsday preparation is an industry in the United Sates and thriving more each day with the advent of the reality shows devoted to it. But what really happens when the world ends in a whimpering of it's former self. I say nothing, because it will never end.   Let me explain: The "world ending" isn't the concept of the actual Earth ceasing to exist and all life on the planet dying (at least with what I am referring to). The concept I am blogging about is the breakdown of society. It's the civilized world going completely to shit and being replaced by chaos on the extreme that it requires gates and guns to be the protection, and savior of everything we hold dear. This comes off to me as a little crazy ("BatShit" is the actual term used in place of "little"), and self serving to cer...
