Los Angeles, A City Full Of Life, Cultures, Riches & Next Morning Stories
Joe Nguyen is my name and I have recently arrived here in Los Angeles near the end of 2008. Life has been an adventure. Los Angeles is the latest series of my life.

I was born and raised in Stockton, California. A small city with many bad influences, high crime rates and much madness. I hate the place although I love the few people I grew up with. The ambition there is low, the drive for success is non-existant and the haters are numerous. I’ve even heard once that “Stockton is like a crab pit. Whenever you try to climb out of the shit bucket, some mutherfucker always tries to pull you back down.”
Well, I was fortunate enough escape that world and experience something that not everyone has the opportunity to. College at UCSB changed my life. Teachers gave me a liberal education, friends endowed cultural awareness, extracurricular activities brought global issues to my attention and my fraternity taught me the fine balance between business and family.
Soon after graduation, it was time to flip the page to a new chapter. However, little did I know that all my post graduation plans were about to change. I got a job in Los Angeles and short two weeks to enjoy my first summer vacation after college.
I packed my whole life in one suitcase and gave away the little possessions I had. Everyone comes to LA for their own reasons, whether it would be to become rich, become famous or become educated. Personal growth was mine. Through this blog, you can get a glimpse of my adventures in Los Angeles and random snippets of my life and what I think deserves some attention.
