Stuck inside of Frisco with the LA blues again

Yes I finally did it, I've started a blog. And yes, the title of my first post is inspired by Bob Dylan's "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again." And hey, the name of the blog is also taken from a Dylan song. Yeah I'm pretty lame.

I guess I should start by mentioning my motivations for starting a blog. The main one is that I'm now living more than 300 miles away from home and what will always be home (because no matter how hard I try to get away from it, I'll never really get away from it completely). I want to maintain contact and interaction with my friends and relatives. Of course I can also do that with Facebook, Skype, AIM, texting, calling, etc. But I also wanted to create something more intellectually stimulating. My other motivation is the desire for another creative outlet. I want a place I can ramble, rant, or inform. This blog will be used for all sorts of things, like writing about the latest music I've been listening to and recommend, the latest movies I've seen and recommend, everyday adventures while exploring San Francisco, and yes, feelings...

Which leads into how I've been feeling these last five days. It's hard to believe I've only been in SF for five days. I feel like I've been here longer than that. I feel lonely at times, mostly because I don't really know anyone here. I also sometimes feel displaced. It's weird, I fit in with the typical San Francisco native/citizen, but I'm also somewhat of an outcast. I'm pretty sure there are certain LA traits I express which I'm not fully aware of yet that native Bay Area peeps see. Old habits die hard, so whatever.

Well Borders is closing and I must go. But I'll add to this later if I feel like it. I'll try to update this blog whenever possible, now that I've committed myself to it...

Hmm, I'm contemplating seeing Blue Valentine some time soon, since it's so "controversial" and stuff. It just seems like a good movie. Perhaps I should post a review once I do?
