An Introduction,

Let me just preface this journal with a small introduction of myself and my intentions for what is written here. I don't intend to make this journal interesting or dramatic. Most of the more dramatic (i.e readable) events in my life have been absorbed into a patchy history of which the context is distant and irretrievable. (From guns pulled on me, lines with Ron Jeremy, the parties and the clubs 6 nights a week, living from 6pm to 7am, all the inane ups and downs) etc. And while there is surely more of that to come, it is not the highlight or purpose of this journal.

My lifestyle and how I live it prohibits me from keeping memory of even a day from last week if I don't record day-by-day, so it becomes obvious why I'm writing now. This is a record. A record of my hopefully truthful account of day to day experiences with los angeles and the people in it. The scum and the hopeful, the excitement and the sadness. An account of events I dont want to forget anymore. My only hope for this journal, is to keep my records within it truthful.

On myself, I am a fairly decent person living in the middle of a city that has pulled me in entirely. After falling head first into the Los Angeles nightlife, circling my entire life around parties, clubs, sex alcohol and drugs I've since started clinging back onto the things that are so much more important. My classwork, my job and my friends. I hope that the next articles I write reflect this change, although if I remain honest I honestly dont know if they will.

All the best,

I am still learning the LJ thing, but I made everything friend only because I suppose there is a lot of personal stuff I should keep at least somewhat private!
