Calvin Klein: Obsession (Note: This has NOTHING to do with cologne)

I've been thinking alot lately about where I really want to be and where I want to go in my life.  I love music, that is no secret.  I really would love to be able to make a living playing and recording music.  That would ultimately make me the happiest person I could possibly be.  Whether or not that ever gets to happen, I will not know until it does, or doesn't.  That is where I want to be in my life though.  I don't see me ever giving up on that goal.  

In the past 6 months, music has taken me to more places than I ever thought I'd go in my entire life.  Out of all of the places I have been in the past 6 months, California tops all of them.  Since returning from there, for some reason I have become so enamored with the thought of living the California lifestyle.  I was out in the LA area for 2 days before the Mayercraft Carrier cruise and 1 day after the cruise.  I spent time in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Burbank, and other cities.  I loved the whole experience.  I remember passing by a high school right outside of Long Beach where some kids were having baseball practice after school.  At that moment I was picturing what it would have been like to grow up in this place...and thinking what kind of person I would have become compared to what I am now.  There's no way of telling, but it was still cool to imagine.  

I can't wait to go back to California.  I'm trying to get the band I'm in, Sunset Love Affair, out there soon.  I'm looking into getting us a gig at the Whiskey A Go Go.  That place is legendary...and would definitely be a highlight of my life as well as the other guys in the band.  I think our music would do well out in California.  It's just a shame we all live 3000 miles away.  I guess that's what touring is for.  I really hope we can make it out to play in LA/Hollywood though because I know the other band members would love it there just as much, if not more, than I do.

I think I would enjoy living out there someday.  It has everything nearby that is important to me: a beach, a city, sports teams, music, diversity, and it's only a 5-6 hour plane ride from Atlanta if I ever needed to come back.  Maybe one day it will happen.  Or maybe I'll go back to LA so many times that I grow to hate it...then I'll have to find another city to become obsessed with...so be on the lookout Cheyenne, Wyoming!!!
