Fuck the Mainland!
I think I'm going to go back to Hawai'i. This place has gone to shit since I last lived here over three years ago. I moved to Hawai'i before 9/11 and just now been back for about two months. Mind you, I live in Bush country, right outside D.C. I weep for this nation!

Aloha nui loa

7. Hey
Not all haoles are bad, bruddah. I know I'm married to one, and her family are good people too.

But from what I hear things ain't that much better back home, so when you go back, you need to check it out.

11. We already have a home there.
and it wasn't expensive at all, got in before the housing boom. We have it rented out now and that is covering the mortgage.

14. My best friend is from Sacramento. My HS best friend went to SJ State.
I've been to SF three times. I loved it.

I adored Bobby Bonds (he was an Angel, y'know) but his son needs to take a pill.

And that's all I know about the northern part of the state. :(

16. Northern California is like Upstate New York.
The geographical description any way. It seems like No. California is anywhere North of LA. That is a huge chunk of the state.
