I'll try to remember that when I'm surfing amazing waves, playing sand volleyball with my ridiculously fun friends, messing around with gorgeous women, and having the most fun I've ever had in my life. Sucks to be a lemming.
Been told what by whom? The media? Same guys who warned us the Year 2000 computer bug was going to shut down the banks and businesses everywhere? How about swine flu warnings? How many suckers heeded that and moved their family to some remote island somewhere and stuck their heads in the sand? Who are the lemmings here, the ones who believe, or the ones who don't?
Lemmings who woke up and skateboarded down to the beach to go surfing, hopped in their buddy's boat to wakeboard, then caught a night snowboarding session to finish the day.
I fucking love being a lemming
Too bad the most exotic and seductive things in this world are usually the most dangerous. Cali is like the natural disaster headquarters of the U.S.
Massive wildfires
Massive mudslides
Massive earthquakes
unstable ground
etc..
Anyway in my first post I meant to say "don't take this too personally".
I live in Pacific Beach and I had a bunch of pictures fall off the walls but no damage to our house.
I'm in Michigan. It's not as exotic as Cali, but still a beautiful state.
And I just remember in multiple science classes learning about the tectonic theory. And during that period they always threw in future estimates about how the continents are projected to move. Half of California is projected to split off the US mainland and end up in the sea eventually - somewhat quickly on a tectonic time frame. It's one of the most tectonically active areas on earth.
Anyway, the tectonic projections could be outdated by now, or just wrong. But with the regular earthquakes, mud slides, and wildfires I'd think 2x about living in CA anyway.
Haha, how quickly it's going to happen on a tectonic timeframe is irrelevant to us.
Sorry just made me lol for some reason, continue.
Dont forget bankrupt government, horrible and getting worse school system, extreme property values and taxes. Despite all this, I still love living in California.
Yeah! Or them idiots that warned us that New Orleans would go under... oh wait...
Probably true. But it's going to take many millions of large earthquakes throughout the years to get CA out into the Pacific Ocean.
Are you fucking joking? You're from Michigan, and you're talking crap about Cali?
Listen, dumbass, I moved from MI to CA about 18 months ago, and it was the best thing I've ever done. This is the first earthquake/wildfire/mudslide I've dealt with since being here. It's the first tremor my neighbors have ever felt, and they've lived in San Diego for a decade. I wouldn't even call it an "earthquake" so much as just a subtle shaking of the ground -- fuck, I didn't even get dizzy.
Do you know what Mother Nature would have given me in an equivalent time in Michigan? Ten months of winter. Admit it, "ten months" since last December is actually pretty conservative. In the ~500 days since I've moved, you guys have had over twenty feet of snowfall, and less than 150 days of sunshine. Every time there's a blizzard, a snowstorm, or -- gasp -- just another grey afternoon in Michigan, I have dozens of my old friends hitting me up, planning "to come visit" (which is a thinly veiled excuse for their next exodus), because that whole state blows. Everyone I know who's still there is hanging on tightly to avoid spiralling down into the depths of "drinking to make the days go by"; but fuck, most of them have already let go, because when it's so depressingly grey and snowy, there's like a 30% chance on any given day that you lack the plain-and-basic willpower to get up, put on pants and exit the house.
Now, taking into account the fact that you're a misinformed retard who believes everything he hears (also known as a "lemming"), [because California will never ever ever "fall off into the ocean" because the fault line moving in the wrong direction], well, I'd rather be a lemming living on the brink of certain destruction (read: vibrating harmlessly for ~30 seconds every ~1.5 years) than a lemming who's so high on all the snow he doesn't realize he's stuck in Michigan.
I opted to leave socioeconomics out of it, and just assume that CA is the only state that's even nearly as fucked as Michigan is, because even though we're all out of monies and the gov't rapes me on my taxes every day, at least we haven't yet resorted to razing our cities to make room for more farmland.
Only crap I'm talking about CA is about natural disasters. Stay on subject. There's no question that Cali is more fun. But there should also be no question that it has a ton more natural disasters.
Anyway, I'm mostly trolling.. so take it as seriously as you wish lemming
Hell, I love CA.. it keeps the news interesting.
