DON'T

Lost Angels

mom look it's xzibit!

I consider myself a Los Angeles proponent-- more of one than I have any right to be-- but have never been able to articulate my sentiments toward the city. Thankfully, BLDGBLOG has done exactly that, and I urge you to read "Greater Los Angeles". Select:

Los Angeles is where you confront the objective fact that you mean nothing; the desert, the ocean, the tectonic plates, the clear skies, the sun itself, the Hollywood Walk of Fame – even the parking lots: everything there somehow precedes you, even new construction sites, and it's bigger than you and more abstract than you and indifferent to you. You don't matter. You're free.
