Los Angeles, I'm Yours

Los Angeles, I'm Yours is a story about how Los Angeles, California is like a drug: once you are here, you cannot leave.  He describes LA like a drug.  When you get here to California, it is like the first shoot up of a drug and you are forever chasing the first high.  The song also relates to a bad relationship; you want to leave, but you can't because it's what you are used to.  I honestly, love this song, but at the same time, it is not how I view the California Dream. I see the Dream as a place where bad things can happen, but also wonderful things happen more often.

New idea of my version of the California Dream

Honestly, I am not from California, so when we were assigned to write about our version about the California Dream, I really had no idea what mine was.  After dissecting a couple songs about California, I realized what my dream was.  Throughout my essay, I changed my opinion from a generic answer, to a more specific answer. I knew coming here to California, it was not like how it is in the movies.  So I didn't come here thinking it was a dream land; I came here thinking it was a place of freedom of expression.  I feel like every time I walk outside, I am free. Free from worries, free from controversy, free from everything, just free. Almost like a bird, I am able to go where I want, when I want.  I know California is dangerous, but it also is wonderful.  The colors around me sparkle in the sun.  I love to watch and take pictures of the pink/purple sunset in the background of the palm trees.  I accept that nothing will ever be perfect in California; but, really, when is anything really perfect? I love California and I hope to stay here for as long as I can.

My California Dream

Coming to California from the south and soaking up every piece of the California air is my version of the California Dream. Moving from a smallish town to the lively lights of downtown is where I start my dream.  I believe going after what you want is a dream in itself, so the California dream, to me, is going after what you want.  I believe here, in California, I will discover who I am as a person in the world and I will learn as much as I can about the film industry since I am located in the middle of the film business. I hope I never awake from this dream I'm dreaming.
