why i love livin' in CA

[Tanjential]

So I don't know if i mentioned it to you guys, but in my time gone I became a huge stoner. Like among the biggest you'll ever meet in your life and in my years of hippie stoniness I met some friends that live on the Westside of Long Beach that blow glass and grow weed for the medicinal marijuana community in L.A. Recently, my friend Bones, the glassblower I see the most (he blew the
04 Cannabis cup. He was credited by his real name Michael Say in that shit, check the High Times issues) was telling me that Kurupt and Bizzle(snoop's brother?) have been chilling at the glassblowing studio that i always chill with Bones at (It's Bones and Wizard[the grower]'s glass blowing salon, glass blowers rent time at stations there, just liike a salon) and smoke and shit. Apparently Bones got invited to a Snoop show by Bizzle that was only to have like 3000 people at it. like an invite only thing, Bones didn't go because we saw Tool at the staples center instead but he did begin plans on an upside down bubbler that spells out the word "snoop". he's already made pipes that say "tool" and he actually made me a pipe with my name on it(tristan). I'll post some pics of this guys work real soon and I'll DEFINITELY post pics of the snoop bubbler when that shit is done.

So this last weekend I was at a party in Hollywood at the home of a cat who sells medicinal marijuana prescriptions (three of my friends got their script from this cat) and i met this chick who is banging Fred Wreck. She said that she eats with him and B-Real all the time and that there are some BCT promotional performances happening right now. anyone know where these shows are at? anyway, I told her how much of a fan of fred wreck i've been since streetz is a mutha and she(being a good friend of my friend christine, the first of my friends to get their medical marijuana papers from the dude who owns the house) will call my friend christine and i next time she hangs with fred wreck and we'll get some grub and smoke and shit. so i hope to meet fred wreck in the near future, any one have any thoughts on things i should ask fred wreck about?

so I was born in Loma Linda, raised on the border of San Bernardino and Rialto, I go to cal State San bernardino and now I live on the border of fontana and rancho cucamonga and every city I just named is in San Bernardiino county/IE. we got this local record store called AMC on Baseline in San Bernardino with a big ass painting of sly boogy on the side of that shit and my friend that frequents the place (same cat that got me into Mac Dre) told me that a few years ago sly boogy worked there. i went to this place today and while they have all kinds of shit advertising sly boogy they can't keep his album on the shelf cause I couldn't find a copy to purchase.

i guess i say all this to somewhat illuminate my re-entry to the forum further...since mac dre, i've been realizing that WC hip hop is the music I can relate to the most...I do spend my time on the beach during sunny days smoking bomb ass dank, often partying and being a liberal californian and it's a beautiful thing. California is so tight, even my ass livin in whack ass IE has a good time. Y'all should come and visit.

dope, my step moms fam lives in rancho cucamonga i like goin down there for the giant mall in ontario. and congrats on waking up to the west coast shit, when i move down south i think its gonna change a lot cuz living up in cold ass dark monterey ny rap fits everything better. i love la rap but it doesnt feel as good sometimes when youre rollin thru downtown alvarado street and theres heavy fog and gothic buildings around you to be bumpin quiksta. everytime im down south its like a weight off my shoulders. i like the weather, the feel of the city the smog its all part of the experience.

i've been into the west coast shit before (99-2002) but yeah it's totally a revival for me right now + the Bay.

heh, I used to WORK at that mall.
