My autobiography... I was born and rasied in Oakland, California, and went to high school in San Francisco. These two large and hardcore cities have made me the person I am today: I have seen the very beautiful and extremely ugly things they have to offer the weary traveler. I moved to Corvallis, Oregon, on August 24th, 2004. This was a huge adjustment for me, not just because I had to leave everyone I loved (except my parents), but because Corvallis is substantially smaller than where I was before, and the people are extremely different. Not only am I finally part of a racial majority (caucasian), but the people on the street are generally nicer, and the foliage is beautiful. Still, I do miss the local color and variety of the Bay Area, and all of my friends. I'm PROUD to admit that I do miss the bitchy, nitt-gritty city attitude I left behind, especially when someone challenges my beilefs. Enjoy my website. |
