I Used to Love H.I.M… by T. Hobbs
January 14, 2009
If your home is where your heart is, then L.A. has been my boo for 22 years. We’ve had a difficult relationship, L.A. And I. The sort of relationship where you know it’s probably bad for you but for some reason you can’t make yourself leave. L.A. has been a cocoon, making me feel comfortable and secure, but it also has scorned me, and left me feeling used and unimportant. I’ve left L.A. only to return because I missed it and how good it has made me feel. And, like in an abusive relationship, the pain begins again, and I find myself wanting to grab my things and go without looking back.
My “home” has become land of the “I wanna look like you”’s, and while im at it, I’ll adopt your personality, too. That pic explains a lot of why my disdain for L.A. has grown leaps and bounds lately. I feel like im losing myself amongst what this city wants me to be versus who I really am. I’ve bought the too-hip scarves, the too-hip shades, the too-hip crayola colored jeans, but now I fear that im being looked at like those who I consider as trying-too-hard to please this un-pleasable city.
It hit me the other night. A friend who hadn’t seen me in years gave me the kiss of death. “Tiffany,” he said with a grin, “you’re so…TRENDY.
So.. L.A… So…Hollywood!”.
That hurt.
Now, please don’t get me wrong.. I’ve always been into fashion. But now, at 26, to be called “trendy” hurt as much as seeing men in gladiator 
sandals, lip gloss, and you already know how I feel about skinny jeans.
Trendy is a very dirty word in my book. And while my friend meant no harm, it made me realize that this man who has known me for half of my life possibly considers me a victim of Hollywood-itis, and that, my friends, terrifies me. I don’t want to be a “spoiled little L.A. girl..
JUST an L.A. girl”, as Kanye so poignantly put it, because now, being an “L.A. ANYTHING” has become synonymous with being fake, vapid, unoriginal, and manipulated. Ask someone from another state (or even northern California) their opinion on “L.A. people” and see what you get…
So, now I’ve diagnosed myself with cabin fever. I want to get OUT. It’s the kind’ve environmental fatigue brought on by stagnancy and an extreme desire for a change of scenery, and STAT. I’m wanting to flee to another city or state or an island. I need some “The Blue Lagoon” in my life.
Basically, my relationship with L.A. is coming to an end and I think I’m ready to move on, but it’s so hard to let go.
I used to love H.I.M. but never as deeply as I should for someone who’s been with him this long. He’s lost his luster. The novelty has worn off.
What used to be cute in the beginning isn’t so much anymore. And he doesn’t care about me like I’ve cared about him. I enjoyed driving through his streets during the summer, watching people hang out on Crenshaw between Rodeo and Slauson. In-N-Out double-doubles. The beaches. The low-lows and the always entertaining Fox Hills and Slauson SWAPMEET (I refuse to call it a “super mall”. Please). My best years have been spent here. My loved ones are here. But I’m becoming more and more disconnected and it’s a feeling that only a few people probably understand. It just doesn’t feel.. right…anymore. It’s not only because I was called… *deep breath*… trendy. L.A. creates an ideal that influences the minds of those within it’s border. L.A. wants people to be less focused on others and more focused on themselves. L.A. wants us to parade around as if we’re unaffected by those who have undeserved fame and fortune who basically run this city and dictate what’s what to the impressionable masses. What happened to L.A.? Where did he go wrong? Our gift of individuality is being lost. Carbon copies have taken over this town and have tried to convince us that running around here looking like extras off of some MTV show is what’s hot in the streets. L.A. has created a code of conduct, and it shows through the trends that are adopted, and the attitude of those doing the adopting.
Being from L.A. has become a description that has negative connotations.
But being OF L.A. has become an insult.
I gotta find me a new boo.
Hugs and Kisses,
T. Hobbs
This is how the Kanye story ends…. | Kanye’s LAX attack on paperazzi
September 12, 2008
So, there are two scenario’s. One, Yeezy, gets off with a slap on the wrist, or, Two, he does time. He wont do time, im sure of it. Even with the “crack down” on celebs, Ye’ wont see any prison bars. What happens is, Ye goes to court with a sob story about how he’ stressed, has the troubles of the world on his shoulders, that no one liked (ok a few maybe) his love lockdown, and that he took it out on the paperazzi. 1000 hours of community service, and we get getty images of Mr. West at some pre-school in middle Wisconsin reading clifford the big red dog. Thee End.
