You know...I never thought the repug assclowns bothered me so much either, until I moved.
I moved to OC from Utah. I like to say the OC is just Utah with warmer weather. Both full of strip malls, parking lots and conservative religious zealots.
It's nice living in diverse community, and I can't think of anywhere else in the LA area more diverse than Long Beach.
Of course, with that diversity, comes poverty and with poverty comes drugs and crime etc.
Anyhow, good luck with your searching. Anthony, I'll hit you back offline.

"I live in Downtown Long Beach, which totally fuckin rules! Seriously, you should consider long beach. Its a really good mix of city and beach. I live 2 blocks from the sand and also about 20 really cool bars/restaurants etc within steps from my house.
Also, the commute to newport would be about 20 mins, but you get to take PCH and drive next to the ocean every morning, not a bad way to start the day.
Hey....Whats up anthony?? It's Beddoes...Let's wreck Long Beach sometime.

(Feb 13 07, 10:15)"heh this sounds familiar. where do you live?
I used to live on linden and broadway. in the old broadlind hotel. that place is dope.
anyway, newport sucks ass. I have 2 friends that have lived there for a couple years now and I cant stand visiting them. same bars, same people, same styles and of course the same hoes. Its a very nice place but the community and the people are wacky.... they actually live in their own little world. (rich crazy people) costa mesa is not bad, i lived their for a while.... i dont know about dirt cheap rent, who said that? the lowest I could find was 1200 for a small 1 bed. thats not dirt cheap to me.
fuck it. san diego is the spot.

Sounds like you're going to Juxt? Move to Huntington Beach, i did it and the drive to Newport/Juxt was only 10mins on PCH, best drive to work you'll ever make, views are nice.
Downtown Long Beach is pretty sick, some of my friends at Mindflood live there and love it. There's also alot of families who live there, like any other place.
Don't move to Irvine, stay away from the other side of the 405, it'll be the most boring experience if you're into having a social life.

i remember when i first moved to the OC. i moved to laguna niguel. it was a living hell. only thing to do there was go to the TGI Fridays. Dana point was right down the street, but even there is boring. Laguna Beach is nice but expensive and gay. Newport Beach is sweet. I like costa mesa area and HB. Long beach is really cool. You won't get stabbed there. But i do know they have steroid junkies there.
don't move to irvine, aliso gayviejo or any place that starts with rancho. you'll be 30 mins from the beach and it isnt the cali experience you are probably looking for.

Junior you left your apartment when you lived down here? Wow. thats a surprise.
- jr_fartbox0
yea, i'd booze up hardcore off of long islands at the TGI Fridays on thursday nights with drohan and show up to work still wasted the next morning. it was ok, my hangover would leave after my 3 hour lunch break in laguna beach.

You had the money for drinks at TGIF? I thought you were a Pabst or Keystone guy alone at the computer.

psh, off of my shit salary, i could barely afford it. but then again, i didn't expect a b-rated agency to pay me any better.

You probably got paid for how many sites you launched in a year. Which was oh.....none.
- jr_fartbox0
coach, im sorry i carry the opinion that i think rancho and south county are suburban hellholes.
- jr_fartbox0
hmm, amazing what i did at mindflood then. i must have been a goddamn miracle worker there b/c i launched, oh...10. and freelancing...gee...well you'll see the updates soon coach.
have fun working on amway.

remember those old ladies in the 80's that exclaimed "where's the beef?"
it's apparently in this thread.
i was really hoping for a bowling tournament between us...that would have been fun. i bowl a solid 130!
eh, i plan on making a trip back down within the next couple months. lets battle!

Justin. You always had talent. It was just a matter of when you were going to decide to use it. I wish you didn't have to be so angry with me when I didn't have anything to do with your personal problems with yourself or others. Best of luck and I look forward to your new work. Hit me up on AIM when it launches.

Outside of there, Long Beach is SCARRRRRRY.
I'd take ass clown republicans over getting jumped, stabed and murdered on my way to dinner anyday.
