What are they doing ??

I spent the first 26 years of my life in Southern California, and the last 22 in Northern California. They really need to split us into two separate states, the cultures are so different.

S. California has Disneyland, Hollywood, the LAPD, and lots of illegal immigrants from Mexico.

N. California has redwood forests, San Francisco, aging hippies, rain, and lots of illegal immigrants from Mexico.

OK, so there’s some over-lap.

i think californias overrated. my aunt lives out there in moutain view so ive been out a few times. ive been to SF and LA too and idk whats so special about it except i seen homeless people in beverly hills and thought it was funny. weirdest thing out there though is the way yall cross the street. like you guys actually use crosswalks and wait for lights to change, over here people just cross the street when they feel like it, even if traffic is coming.

Oh, Mountain View…home of the beloved Google (I cross myself as I go by) and of course the shitty Shoreline Ampitheater. All in all not a bad place though. Sure, we use crosswalks…on account of the fact some roadrager will mow your ass down Death Race 2000 style. Hippies and Hillbillies are worth the most points though, so I just mosh my way across.
