I currently reside in the fine city of Wilmington California, that jewel of the south-bay, nestled between three oil refineries and the Port of Los Angeles.
From the picture below, you might get the impression that I am practically on beach-front property, but at ground-level, the port is an overwhelming mass that completely obscures the water. The best way to get to the beach from my house is to hop on the freeway, and don't stop until you reach mexico :)
The sky isn't really as clear as it looks in the picture, and the water really isn't that blue; I just have this really good digital camera that automatically corrects for smog and industrial waste
The best thing about Wilmington California is its proximity to: (1) my employer, who for some reason PAYS me to play with computers, like, almost all day long, and (2) LA Harbor College, where I attend an awesome sculpture class where I meet girls sculpt things. |

| I currently live just outside of the Kitchener - Waterloo region in Ontario, Canada. That place isn't too famous, buy boxing legend Lennox Lewis grew up there. I have also lived in Houston Texas and Brandburg, Michigan. |

The blue pawprint is approximately the location of the apartment Thellos, Leonardo, and myself live.
The red pawprint is about where my work is, where I pretty much sit on a computer all day as well.
The black pawprint is the location of the best chicago style hotdogs in the universe. Melted Nacho Cheese, steaming hot chili on a roasted weiner and bun, all for $2.20 (except I get it for $1.50 because I go there so often. Even the manager just hands them out to me. It's awesome)
The yellow pawprint is Barksdale Airforce Base, which is rumored to STILL have nuclear warheads stored there. |

1564 Doubloon Dr
Holiday, FL 34690
Just find Tampa on a map, and look about a third of an inch to the northwest, toward the west coast, and there I am. Or, if you're looking at a Florida map, it's the town south of New Port Richey and north of Tarpon Springs.
Basically, I live in a no-name town not even dignified with a dot on a map. >:/ _________________

my sister and i were in san diego once, we tried to find the beach but only found cliffs. two hours we drove south, looking for the beach. imagine... all that ocean and we can't find beach.
i'd love to post an aerial view of my house, but there's only one aerial picture of my town (that i know of)... and my house is about three inches beyond the left side of the pic. _________________ LJ.Art

If you ever heard about Omaha, you've probably seen the infamous picture of it's skyline.
(old, because there's no First National Tower)
Well, I work at that white building between the two red ones. The main library.
Closeup.
hmm, Omaha looks pretty dirty... _________________

I live in the very small town of Shingle Springs, CA. If your heading up to Lake Tahoe from Sacramento, chances are you'll pass through it and not realize it. If your heading to Coloma or Plaverville, you'll head through as well. The closest electronics store is 20 miles away...sometimes I wonder how I manage... _________________ Gyu, Doh! |
