Tell us A Bit About Where You're From

This kind of says it all.  I actually live in the neighborhood of Baldwin Hills, but I can see that sign from the landing on the outside staircase.  I absolutely adore this maddening, frustrating, and utterly fascinating city.

Gosh! To you get to see many of the entertainment 'upper class'?

My grandfather was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1901 and moved to El Salvador in 1921. Him and my uncle raised me for the first 10 years of my life.
I was born in 1969 in El Salvador, that's a small country in Central America. I was brought to the states 33 years ago.
I have lived in Washington State, Florida and California. Right now I live in California, close to downtown LA. I like it here, it's sunny most of the time and there's people from all over the world, I like that.
It's hard to find atheist Latinos, if you tell a Latino that there is no god, they do the sign of the cross all over their body and run as if they've seen the devil. 
This is why I come to the HAF, I can come out of the closet and I also learn a lot here. I mostly like to read people's comments, I don't post too much but I'm happy to be here with so many smart people, some not so smart, and even the evil ones like asmo. Well....that's a little bit about me. There's a lot more, but that is all for now.

^^^ That reads like a teaser for a great novel/biography.

Well I'm happy because she's happy to be with us not so smart people, about time we got some credit.  We make the smart seem relatively smarter.  One thing though, there are no evil ones like Asmo, his is an entirely unique form of evil.

Some random awesome shots from around my city.

Thank you, I don't want to brag, but I will anyway. 
If I had a dime for all the times people have told me to write my life story, I would have a whole dollar by now.

Hi Everyone. I am from the Fiji Islands, a tiny island nation situated in the South pacific Ocean. Here are some photos from my country that might interest you.

The political situation is suspect and landscapes are presented in gif format, I'm reserving judgement.

Yes. Pudding wise. I do want a palm and some sand though

palms are overated. I am surrounded by palm trees and still in a shithole.  Fiji looks awesome though.  much better than GA. I could easily see myself drinking a corona and lime while sitting on the beach on fiji.

I am an absolute sucker for bodies of water, it's what's kept me living on the CA coast despite the expense.  I can't remember if I've posted this picture before but it's one of my favorites.  I took this on Pacific Coast Highway, just outside of Port Hueneme:



And here's the same area in color (but without the bird, which is a shame), proving that So. Cal. does still have some nice looking water:

I think people just get bored with what they're used to.  I used to have icebergs that floated by my backyard on an (almost) daily basis during certain parts of the year. Tourists flip their shit for them, but for the locals, it's like "meh. iceberg. neat, I guess". I've only seen palm trees twice in my life, so they're cool and exotic to me.
