I used to commute from San Bernardino to LA. I was living in the 909 (Highland) and working at LAX. This was about a year.

Anyway the commute was an hour. Where I lived was farther then Rancho Chokeuhmungas.

Buuuuut it does all depend on what time you roll out. I worked 6am to 230pm so the mornings were smooth sailing. But getting off, I waited till the evening to go home. One day I hit the freeway as soon as I got off and no bullshyt it took me 3 hours to get home.

L.A
1. Keep ALOT of music on your ipod/phone. I mean thousand and thousands of songs. You will need them for those long traffic days. Use the time to learn another language in your car with audio tapes or history. You will learn patience. 30 minute drives will become mandatory
2. Dont ever in your life leave something to charge your phone with at home.
3. L.A is a very segregated city. Outside of south l.a/inglewood/ long beach you wont find heavy concentrations of black people. Very scattered
4. Keep weapon in your trunk (bat)
5. Dont be ashamed to keep mace on you
6. Venice Beach strip is a very nice multicultural hunting ground :shaq:
7. You can get a weed license for 100 dollars from a quack Dr. in los angeles. They advertise them and there are weed dispensaries all over the place. The ones that avertise the Dr. give out the license the easiest.
8. For Halloween costumes go to Hollywood Toys and Costumes on 6600 Hollywood Blvd. They are open all year. GOAT costume store
9. California has the largest grappling community in the united states. It is very east to find grappling clubs to join, in particular, Brazillian JIujitsu clubs. :shaq:
10. You increase your chances of getting pulled over the dirtier your car is and the older the model.
11. Make alot of friends because you never know when you'll be on your ass and need a place to crash to get back on your feet, for free. Preferably that someone is a woman.
12. If you buy a gun you have to wait 3 days and take an easy exam in the storre. You cannot carry your weapon concealed/on your body/under your seat/in your glove compartment. The gun has to be in a locked case, unloaded in the car, or in the trunk.
13. You can carry up to a 4 inch blade concealed. :shaq:
14. The women here are polite so dont be shy about approaching them for conversation. If if they dont like you they;ll give you the time of day
15. For an escape from l.a head to santa barbara. You come over the hill and theres a beautiful ocean, with barely anyone on it you where you can walk the beach with you lady. If you like seafood theres good seafood out there.
16. San Diego is 3 hours away if you want to escape or to go the san diego zoo which is a great zoo
17. Vegas is a 6 hour drive away.
18. Good fishing at new port beach.
19. You can buy cheap bladed weapons in chinatown with no tax.
20. The women look better in L.A compared to New York/Philly

Try 40 miles. :russ:

Best things to know though.

1. Gas money is a bytch. 4 something per gallon
2. Live as close to work as possible to save money
3. Live close to the freeway to shorten your commute to work
4. Stay away from women with overly arched eyebrows/animal print/bangle earings/ weird hair color/ odd body piercings
5. Stay out the hood unless you're spending money, or you live there
6. Explore the city. Go to events/places that cater to your hobbies.
7. Learn what North, South, East, West means as it relates to what direction you're driving
8. Learn how the freeways connect to one another
9. Dont talk shyt to the cops. Dont admit to anything when you get pulled over. Plead not guilty in court and hope the cop didnt show up.(they'll let you change your plea if he did show up)
10. Know where to take women for cheap price. (getty center) for example
11. Take women to the sky lounge at the Bonaventure Hotel (rotating lounge with STIFF drinks for reasonable prices)
12. Dont wear loud ass blue and red colors unless you're in a soft city
13. Dont fukk with mexicans with tattoos on their face or cowboy hats
14. Clubs close at 2am
15. West hollywood is full of faggits
16. Havana Mania in Redondo Beach serves good cuban chicken and has a nice jazz band
17. Take notice of rules regarding parking when you're in a neighborhood you do not know. Some areas dont allow you to be on the block on certain days where there is a street sweeper
18. Go to the Roscoe Chicken and Waffles off Pico
19. The Beverly Center is the expensive mall where everyone goes to floss. Fox Hills is the black mall where you hunt :shaq:
