10 things to love about mudville

you can get all kinds of barbecue: Southern, Korean, organic macrobiotic vegan

you can live near the sea and the mountains which is important if mountains make you feel a bit claustrophobic

it never snows but it is never too humid and things grow really well here...especially the weeds

you can hear all kinds of different languages: ebonics, tagalog, farsi and that makes me feel like i don't really need to travel

the streets are lined with cherry trees which are in bloom right now. even in the hood.

people may steal your car battery, but they'll leave your out-of-print Dump cd

everyone is invited

no one gives a shit about the academy awards

counting has never been that all important

and remember all spiritual awakening happens either suddenly or eventually
