Santa Barbara...a little something for everyone

Like I said earlier, I took a few days off from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles County to come on down to Santa Barbara to write a script I'm working on. Surprise, it's a romantic comedy. Anygay, as I'm down here, there's a few things I can't seem to notice. One, almost every single person here is in incredible shape. Like, when I mean incredible shape I mean like they have like 8 packs. You know that scene in Step Brothers where the brother comes up to the treehouse and shows off his pecs? That's exactly how everyone is here. I bet they too haven't had a carb in three years. The funny part of it is, a lot of atheltic people tend to be douchebags to us chubby folks or less attractive of the bunch. Not here my friend. Here in Santa Barbara, all the pretty people actually go out of their way to talk to you. It's funny because when good looking people talk to you, you yourself feel very attractive and think your hot rate goes higher. I've also noticed that when people say hi to you here that it's not so weird but when an ugly or unattractive person says hi to you you're like "Ew buddy. Can you not be so creepy". I don't know what it is but I kind of want to work out my abdominals on the beach and do like 1,000 crunches. Oh yeah, it also helps to say you're writing a script here. It's like money to people. Here's three examples of how nice people are here...

It's about 10:30 am and my sister just left to class so I decided to take a walk and just write on the beach. As I'm walking there, the street is whizzing with students on bikes...all saying hi and giving a friendly smile. One actually tried to have a full on conversation with me while she rode off. The beach is thankfully about a block away from my sisters house. Not a far walk. I walk down the cliff find a bench over looking the beach and the cliff. I write for about 20 minutes and I notice a group of girls running in my direction. As you guessed it, pretty good looking. So one actually stops right next to me and tells the other girls she needs to stretch and does so in front of me. Of course, that stops me from doing my work. Call me a perve, but I was learning the anatomy of the female race at the moment. So one of them notices me and the conversation ensues. "Hey there. What are you doing out here all alone?" "Me? Um I'm actually visiting my sister here so I'm just kinda hanging around while she's in class." Another girl joins in the conversation. Short black hair, glasses...my type. I don't know what it is but girls with glasses...ahh. Anygay..."Oh well that's sweet of you to visit your sister. So you doing homework or what? You have a pretty nice view." "No homework. I'm writing a script...well screenplay." The one stretching stops and actually comes on my side and sits down next to me. Sweaty or not, I'd still hit it... "A script? for a movie? Wow that's really neat. What's it about?" "It's actually a romantic comedy. I just started writing like 20 minutes ago so I'm no where near where I want to be." "Ohh I love romantic comedies! Can I read what you have written so far?" "Yeah me too! I want to read it." Now I have two girls to the side of me and one directly behind me. It was like my own personal Orgy...minus any sex going on and the girls still had their clothes on. So the girls read the script and occasionally laughed, which is what I was going for. Afterwards, they commented on it and were surprised I wrote that much in 20 minutes, which was a major boost to my already high ego. So they asked if I would be out here the same time tomorrow and I said I would and they looked forward to see me, as I look forward to seeing them..

The people are so ridiculously nice here that I'm walking back from the beach and there's these 3 guys sitting on a couch located on a front yard. Very college like. Anyways, one guy is like "Hey bro, isn't that Rockett clothing?" and I look at him and say "Yeah dude. It sure is." then he goes on about how he's heard about the company but never seen a shirt. He offers me a beer and asks if I go to school here. I told him I was just visiting and trying to write a script and he was all in shocked about it. So we were drinking and the three guys read what I wrote and start saying they like the direction I'm heading. We play a round of beer pong at 12:31 in the afternoon, probably the earliest time I've ever played. After getting my buzz going, I started stumbling home back to the house...

Now...to top off how awesome this place is, there is a homeless guy who actually helps YOU out instead of you helping him. So this place is well known for being a party school without a doubt. And with every party comes the drunken friend who passes out and no one ever knows what to do with them or how to take them home. Well the homeless guy does. All you do is place a tag on your friend with the address on the home, give the homeless guy 5 bucks or a few beers and he'll put your friend on a wagon that's attached to his bike and riding him home and leave him in the yard so that way when he walks up scared and freaked out, he's outside of his house. Now, where else can you find kind of love at?

Santa Barbara, a place for everyone...
