I leave for Los Angeles on Wenesday and I can't help but feel very bittersweet about it. While I was, in retrospect, rather desperate for a change of scenery when I left, I certainly didn't expect to become so completely enamored with Miami Beach. And it goes far beyond the fact that part of me is little more than slacker beach bum, or that I've realized a lifelong dream of living in a city with the word "Beach" in its name (though I used to think it'd involve something like "Manhattan," "Hermosa," or "Seal"). It's mostly due to numerous intangibles that would be difficult to explain, never mind that most wouldn't understand anyway.

And before you ask, no: None of this has anything to do with a woman or anything. (Yet.) I just really like it here.

There's a certain energy, a dynamism, a verve, to this city I've never felt anywhere else. And it's exactly what I needed at the time and I'll continue to scarf up that energy as long I need to. Don't get me wrong, there's a part of me that will never leave L.A. but as for now I'm going to enjoy my new Home.
