Christmas Time (Almost) in LaLa Land

Well, well, well...didn't that just come all too quickly. I'm finding it a bit strange being here in LA during the holidays. It doesn't feel like Chrismas. I mean, think about it...it's warm (except last week), sunny, there are palm trees, not many people decorate with lights and stuff...I don't know.

But I've found a few exceptions, so here they are:

• The Grove (with fake snow and everything).
• The Beverly Center...I was trying to find a present, when all of a sudden what happens...the "Hunky Santa" show. It's an arial gymastic show with the center being the 'Hunky Santa' (basically a dude withe unbelievable abs), and his elves (girls who do tons of gymnastic stuff). It was very cirque du soleil-ish, but fun.
  
• Melrose has a bow on the Gucci Store I'm told.
  
• Beverly Hills there are some lights.
  
• I wear a scarf (also for fashion)
  
• Starbuck's plays Christmas music and is forever in the holiday spirit.
  
• Christmas music on the radio...some stations.
  
• Santa Monica ice rink. Ice skating to Christmas songs always makes you feel good!
  
• People do wish me a happy holidays, so that says something.
  

That's pretty much it of what I've found. It'll take me quite a while to get used to some lights around some palm trees signifying it's Christmas. I'll just have to spend way more time in Starbucks I guess.

Let's see...lately I've gone surfing a few times...mostly I still suck, but I'm happy the new full wetsuit I found on craigslist from an awesome guy getting rid of it for super cheap keeps me quite warm so I can attempt to rock it out all year round. I probably need some coaching or a friend to give some pointers or something. Also auditioning when I can get them, going to the gym, tying to meet up with and make friends (which has worked out much better of late), a little sickness (colds) here and there, and looking for work. That pretty much sums up my life lately.

I'm really looking forward to the new year coming up. 2009 has been an interesting one, and I lable the big theme as transition. I probably still need some time to sit and think about all that has happened to me in the last year and let it really sink in. So now I think reinventing my life and pushing forward will be my next challenge. But I am ready to rock 2010! Look out LA...Hollywood...NYC...World...bacause here I come!!

But first a break in Seattle to spend Christmas with my family!
