Cal-envy Me

I scraped by in high school and still made pretty good marks. My problem was I didn't really apply myself and since my parents had long since given up on me, I was left to be raised by wolves. And the wolves I chose to run with were fun, fierce and maybe not all college bound.

I spent a good portion of my youth cruising the streets of Berkeley my favorite haunts included: Rasputin's Records, Urban Ore, and Blondies Pizza. It was a foregone conclusion I would attend Cal and when I failed to perform on the SAT's I sealed my fate and became a Gaucho instead of a Bear.

Consequently, I even now escape to Berkeley to pose as an Elmwood native...I can't pull off the youthful look of a Cal student, especially when my son (in a stroller) is in tow...

















For all these reasons I moved to this city twice in my life after attending and graduating from Santa Barbara.
