The amount of people that migrate to the Californian oceans daily is immense. The beach waves are crisp and cool and depending on the time of season the water’s temperature changes accordingly. Having lived in an east coast city gave me a different perspective as to what coastal living was actually like.
Because of the abundance of water and coastal luxury in California, numerous amounts of military correspondents have to be present as well. The beach sands are stamped and paraded on by the privates that train up and down the shores. Daily, the military officials that practice with the beach goers want to prove a point: you’re safe where we tread.
California is inhabited by 38,292,687 people, as of Januray 2009, and it keeps growing and prospering. Camp Pendleton is a marine base camp that defends the people of California. I lived forty minutes from their base, and was able to hear every mortar shot ever fired. I say that because every time I heard those shells blow up I knew it was in favor of the red white and blue. The shores of California are harbored and protected by our nation.
Living on the west coast of the U.S. has given many of its inhabitants the advantage of going through waves of change in a couple of years. The counties of California used to be subtle and have a certain tranquility, and only cared about surviving through the progressive popularity arising from the East, but ever since Hollywood sprouted up and became a source of celebration, everything has been a ‘coast’.
My family is from Los Angeles, California. I have lived 12 years of my life there, and don’t ever remember it being this way. The west coast people are so different and obscene compared to the past residents who used to be passive and nonchalant. Most of the people I met in CA were members of a wave of drunks or drug addicts. When a drug addict spoke to me, I could tell. When a drunk person spoke to me, I could smell. But why did every person have to be corrupted and abusing some material or object?
Willpower is strong, determination is strongest. Abusing any type of stimulant is considered a drug. The word drug, has the medical definition of “any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function”. A medicine, "any substance or combination of substances which may be administered to human beings or animals with a view to making a diagnosis or to restoring, correcting or modifying physiological functions in human beings or animals”, has been manipulated in California.
The amount of prescription medicine given in Californian cities is higher than the amount of people enlisting into the army or marine core. What happens when the norm becomes drugs and intoxication? The willpower of many Californians has sunken down to follow the crowd. Sheep are following sheep, and for what? Why have celebrities taken over public affairs in California?
Thinking back on what is occurring in California, I acknowledge, and accept, the fact that Californians are accelerating at an advantageous pace compared to the rest of the U.S. But, to what advantage? The wave of acceptance that flows throughout the United States of America obviously flows quicker than the media displays it. The media runs California. Media is ruining the west coast of the U.S.
Tampa Bay, Florida is wealthy in resources and activities. But, it is no comparison with Hollywood, CA. The amount of celebrities that are worshipped on California is too vast. While we sit here in Florida celebrating conventional gatherings such as the Strawberry Festival, Californians celebrate the premieres of movies like “Zombieland”. East coast living compared to west coast living is as different as they are distant. Not only does the west coast go through continuous waves of change, it goes through waves of repetition.
