| Wow. So I haven't written in xanga in over 6 months. I don't even remember how to use this thing... hmm... So I moved back to LA over this past weekend. I dunno what it is about LA, but I just feel like I speak the language here better. SF is cool and all, but it gives u a sickening feeling in your stomach after a while, some can live with it, not me though. What I will miss most is not being able to play with my softball fellas anymore. Those times made it all worthwhile. The legacy of our Intramural Championship from Berkeley to SF, playing with all heart and teamwork... no other legacy like ours... btw, I finally beat KCPC in So Cal. Game winning home run bitches! Another reason I feel bad about leaving is because of my board membership at a non profit in Bayview Hunter's Point. Yup you heard right. Bayview Hunter's Point. Why you may ask? Well cus I thought hey, Im in SF, its the town of hippies, so might as well do something really hippie like. lolz! (btw, no more hippies in SF. They're mostly gone..) It was a pretty rewarding experience, I remember the first time I walked in and everyone on the board was African American except for me, and everyone was like " Who is this guy?..." and I was like "what the heck am I doing here?" and they asked me why I wanted to do this, and I gave a speech about bringing the legacy of Berkeley and Los Angeles to the Hunter's Point Community... it was a good moment and for some reason it all made sense when I said it back then... it sucks what happened with the gentrification issue in Bayview, but the way the cycles work, I started when the cycle was winding down, and that was the ship that I unknowingly chose. Shoudda gone to the Westside instead. Now Im back in LA closer to my family, my friends, and my girlfriend. Just had surgery on my ACL. Long story about that tear... but I am pretty excited about going back into investment banking. I will be working in westwood, and honestly it could not have turned out to be a better deal for me. My old hedge fund closed down a while back, and its been hell interviewing and pretty depressing too, and then things just turned 180 so quickly so here I am. One added bonus is that a lot of our clients are media companies, which brings me one step closer to my dream... and that dream was to one day own my own television station... and brainwash everyone to be happy like during pledge period or when they were younger and in high school or college... muahaha~ actually its not that much of a stretch... our partners and senior bankers agreed with me in bringing back a lot of their fondness for the 80s, 90s etc... Anyways, its good to be back in LA. |
