Sunny California

For all those who didn’t know, I decided to hop a plane and travel southerly to the state of California. You know that cliche - sunny California?

Yeah, it’s not sunny. Today it was cloudy. Living proof that cliches are stupid.

So far it’s - you know. It’s a city. A large one surrounded with water. Judgment sits until the two weeks are up. I’m not going to say yea or nay concerning my opinion of the city until I’ve given it a fair and fighting chance.

I think that’s the problem with a lot of people in this world. They don’t give anything a chance - not a fighting one. An opinion is formed and judgment is passed immediately and that’s the end of that. Sometimes - a lot of times - it takes places and people time to really show you all they’ve got to offer. What if - in that quick judgment you passed - you didn’t really see all they had to offer? Wouldn’t you feel like a real jerkizoid when you find out later who truly awesome and cool they are?

Because let’s think about it. Let’s solve this question mathematically. What are the chances you are seeing a person - or a place - for all that he/she/it truly is? The shorter period of time you’ve given said object your attention the more likely you’ve missed something extremely important and potentially bloody awesome.

So. Leave the judging up to God and just let the people you meet and the places you fall into work on you in their own way. If they turn out to be less than savory specimens of this world, then kick them out of your life but don’t give them the boot until you’ve offered up a duelin’ fightin’ chance.
