I live in a booth at the local Porn Shop - they finally let me hook up my wireless

but I'm fighting to keep the tweaker guy out who shows up every other night @ 4am and stays till noon - it's gross

The area I live in is at the heart of pure trailer trash, but is slowly turning into a more of a industrialized business area, deep down in the south. The product of the environment would be top 40 wiggers(eminem/50cent). I'm surrounded by crackhead rednecks that drive half finished pokemon street rods and are total assholes that take after their parents and beat the shit out of anything that does not fit in to their vision of what is cool. Know what I'm sayin dog!(with a southern accent)

40% of the people living in a square mile around my apartment speak Spanish.
and the others speak Hoosier.
Its actually a pretty diverse neighborhood for Indianapolis, which is a rather largely segregated city.

Between auto racing and mariachi music, there's a surprisingly good bit of culture here for middle America.

yee haw, dawg.

I live in the bush next to a windswept beach. If ya seen the movie The Piano that was filmed at the next beach over. No radio or TV reception which is fine by me. But the city of Auckland (one million people) is 45 minutes away.

Kia Ora, Bro!

the area of Los Angeles i live in is really pretty bizaare, for LA. Topanga Canyon is 30 minutes from Hollywood, 20 minutes from Santa Monica, and about 10 from Malibu. but it feels like it's 1000 miles from "LA". driving up topanga from pacific coast highway feels like driving up a colorado mountain pass.

we generally describe topanga as a ski village minus the snow. one intersection, no traffic lights. my house is just opposite a creek; my driveway is a bridge. at night the sound of the frogs is almost too loud. and there are no other sounds. it even smells good up here.

the canyon is hippy central. illuminated peace signs on houses and guys who've lived here for 40-50 years who NEVER leave the canyon are common. it's local yokel-ville; i see the same people at either one of the 2 bars all the time. there's a good number of celebs here (of course) but they are far outnumbered by the musicians. neil young, members of Tool, cliff martinez, many others.

it's a trip, man.

I live at that point where beautiful dense planned urban multi-use mass-transit neighborhoods segue into stripmalls and highway sprawlsville. Local sushi franchise right next door to McDonalds.

I live in a idyllic Connecticut community with several golf courses, 2 and a half thousand soccer moms who either wear khakis and a sweater tied around their necks or pink velvetique sweat suits and drive Escalades, and an activist group which boycotts every business who wants to set up shop anywhere near town (they had a problem with the supermarket, but the porn shop and Guitar Center were ok...)

I live in a "studio" (read: one small room) apt. in a 100 year old building right smack downtown in the Velvet Rut aka Victoria, where things don't change much, but who cares?
Right around the corner from me is a nightclub that's been burned down 3 times.
I was here for two of the fires. Once firemen kicked down my door- I had left the apartment, ears ringing with shouts and alarms on autopilot: coffee money, keys, girlfriend, okay, lock the door... So any way, after the smoke had cleared, if you'll pardon the pun, we returned to the place to find bits of door jam littering the floor, and the doorframe half-peeled away from the wall. In behind the frame was -and I really wish I had a camera at this point- about a hundred double-edged razor blades. They had a patent date on the back: 1931!
Fucking weird, no? When the City carpenters came by, they said that the bundles of razors had been used as shims to square the doorframe, but I thought that it was pretty f*cd up....

i live with mumsy underneath an autoshop/gas station on the outskirts of town. we have all sorts of neighborhood scum hanging around, and there used to be a bar run by a bunch of sri-lankans upstairs who served the alci to all sorts of minors. we've had 100 kids all drinking beer in our backyard, who were later chased out by the swat team, and visits by the badges to our appartment are common. some mornings im woken up by police knocking on my door at 6am, others there were choppers circling my place and then undercover cops knocking on our door at 2am. the cops are always surprised everytime to find that i actually live here.

my biggest worry is though, if any bastard robber decided to peak into my bedroom, he'd see immediately my jp8000, and underneath my virus. then hed look over and see the rest of my heap of gear and in a flash clean me out. *sigh*

the funniest part of having all my gear is every insurance company refusing to insure my stuff cause its worth too much...lol

ok ive said enough rambling will be cut now
