Oddly, and I want to acknowledge this… I probably do still have a tighter bond with Los Angeles, CA than San Diego, CA. I hadn’t thought of it this way much, however my feeling is more people know me there than they do in San Diego for in person and whatever I got into and out of my whole life. I regret now that I could not become a long term Los Angeleno and feel that probably should have been my original path. I just could not arrange it well myself and had no real family who could either. There were some very criminal and grim times in the 1970s and people had to keep me out of that city, probably others also.
I’m not suing anyone over my crazy/stupid-lookn’ court case. I know there are all kinds of crazy that have gone on over the decades. I actually hope I’ve appeased all kinds of people by getting so messed up even in recent years. Is everyone aware that I have been MESSED UP in Los Angeles many… many times in my life and may not have asked for it or deserved it?
In person I feel that I have been respectful of people in Los Angeles County when I’ve been there for a variety of reasons. Admit I had very real amnesia and FORGOT REASONS why I should not be in that county or city. Over time though I managed to befriend people along the way any way. I am not deeply connected anywhere to this day though. Most people only qualify as long term acquaintances at best. Some have been through a lot themselves with and without me at their side even virtually. They may be like family in this regard.
I’m still FAST AND FURIOUS with all kinds of people that… I don’t even know! A long time ago I did bond with some people temporarily over STREET TAKEOVERS and previs for the movies themselves! I didn’t get to know those people. I got replaced by regulars in town very easily and I was way gone. Gangs and mafia appear to have mugged me for decades and prevented me from owning even a dirt cheap old sport car, or cool pickup. Now I am an older person, however I still like quick cars.
