Kari's Norcal v. Socal Rant

(sorry for my non punctuated stuff because i want this to be fast in case any idea slips)

SO this will be my little rant about norcal v. socal. it's like... another supreme court case name but dont worry it's not. It's just my little rant about what i think about norcal and socal. Norcal means Northern California and Socal is Southern California, for all those who didnt know. However, i am very biased and i love norcal so much more (most probably because i've been living here all my life). Maybe my mind will change with 4-8 years of living in socal. (; But no matter what, we are all californians so lets support it no matter what part of california we're from. Sorry, i dont know much about Middle Cal, so i'll leave you guys out of this rant. (=

So let me start with how people are. I think they are just all the same, there are many types of people and they're all over. I think the style in Norcal is so much better. Yes, some of us are ghetto but i think that's how i like it. It's us ghetto people who try new ghetto things that new styles are formed. Socal? tank top, hoodies, flipflops, half naked boys who think they're cute, skaters. It's so overrated. At least that's what i saw when i went down there. Yes, i wear hoodies a lot, i know they're comfortable and maybe that's why socal people wear it, but then again, i've never really tried tried ghetto clothing unless you call asian fashion ghetto. (= yes i'm asian and i love how in norcal there are so many asian with asian style clothing. it's just 'ghetto' in the GOOD way. I dont see 'ghetto' as a bad thing, it means 'stylish' to me (= While both norcal and socal have 'skaters' nowadays and probably socal has so much more because skating is an 'american' thing (more caucasians in socal) i'm pretty sure norcal's skaters are better looking (atleast to me) than socal ones. Curly blonde hair with a hat over it? puhleeze. that's soooooo three years ago. lol Even mr. phelps has straight hair (= Spikey hair for guys is just awesome it's like.. lubbable.

As for weather, each side has it's ups and downs. I love the bay area in norcal because it has LOVELY weather. It has a big range of weathers that are suitable for any type of people. There are cities that are always under the fog (like.. 45-65 degrees farenheit daily) or temperatures up to 108 crazy, almost daily, as you move away from the bay in the bay area. Only weather i can think of ever experiencing in Socal? like... 65 lowest and always hot? lol it's a no wonder why they're always in tanks and what not, then.

So what spot lights does each side have? Okay, maybe i'll say Socal has so many more spotlight places such as LA, Santa Monica, San Diego, La Jolla, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Arcadia, the beaches, Hollywood, and so on and so on while Norcal has like.. Bay Area (San Francisco, San Mateo, Hayward, etcetc), Napa, and like... well i guess that's it. Hey, we have UC Berkeley and Stanford! :D Okay.. so that's all we have while all the other top ranked schools (besides UC Davis & UCSD) are in Socal (UCLA, UCSD, UCI, USC uh.. wait.. what else?) So what though. UC Berkeley tops all public schools in the US (= is that not good or what?

IMO, we in norcal have more parties (which is why i'm going to socal to study HAHAHA jkay), events, hippies, smarter people can i say?, ethnicities, races, happenings, and better things in general.

So Socal still isnt taht bad but dang... what's with the overrated beaches? Seriously. Do they need that many beaches? What do people do down there? Do they spend half of their lives down by the beach? It's like.. NO LIIIIIFERS! what do we in Norcal do? we chill hang out with our friends, have get togethers instead of HANGOVERS (at parties), talk, and just have fun. With that part, comes another very VERY important point. I think malls in NORCAL are way better than in Socal. I mean.. Socal has blazing weather most of the time. I dont know if socal-ers think that that's a good thing but i think people spend a LOT of money on suntan lotion/sunscreen/sublock down there. At least a lot more than what norcal people use anyways. Anyways back to my point. Norcal malls are so much better because i guess the malls respect the people and people actually buy things here. We have INDOOR malls. Practically all malls in norcal are indoors and if not, they have some place where it will have something to cover your head or create some shade. Socal, from what i've noticed... a LOT of the malls are outdoors. They're like shopping centers called malls. Dude, can you imagine walking around in blazing heat while you look for a shop you want to shop in? (not to mention, their shopping 'malls' are ginormous. which is actually a good thing) So good thing you can go into a store and enjoy the A/C. It would totally suck if there werent A/C. Then, imagine how many A/C machines these ginormous malls would need? I mean, in Norcal, where malls are indoors, they do have lights and decoration but i'm pretty sure that's a lot more eco friendly than these numerous A/C machines. So i love shopping in norcal so much more. Oh i forgot to mention, we have more outlets too (= i cant wait to shop in norcal during my breaks from schooling in socal!

I think in norcal, we have hotter, sexier, cuter, prettier, more handsome people. (= wootwoot. (hmm.. maybe besides LA where it's quite equal)

Soo.. i cant really think of any more to rant about, but if someone brings something up.. i'm sure i would have more to rant about :D ahahaha.

In the end, my rant is solely based on my opinion. I hope no one gets offended in anyway because after all, a lot of these thigns may not be true. I dont care if you agree with me or not, this is my opinion. TYVM. After all, i'm from a totally safe and nice neighborhood in norcal and i always hear about gangs this and gangs that in socal. Yes, we have gangs too but.. you dont often hear about them as much as you do in socal. Plus. gangs are cool, and my motto for gangs? "Gangs are just made of people. People are not to be feared of because you are one yourself."

xD rant over (;
