Why LA is better than Minneapolis

After a restful night on my buddies couch, I go to the training facility where I am hoping to start, the first thing I noticed all the recrutis have their head shaved. AARRRRGGGGHHHH please tell me I am not going to have to shave my head, I have good hair, I am proud of my curly locks, I am afraid that it will not grow back entirely, shit. I walk around the facility asking some questions, making notes, so that I can be somewhat prepared for when I start here.
After my little recon mission I decided to go see my friend in Huntington Beach, I have not seen her since she moved to cali, so I owe her a visit. We meet up and I have the bright idea, lets eat at sizzler, I have never eaten at a sizzler, my only knowledge of Sizzler is what I hear of in black comedies, so I want to experience what Sizzler has to offer. My dining experience was not that bad, except for a place that was supposed to be popular with black folks, all I saw was old white people, again Hollywood has lied.
It is a beautiful 80 degree day in LA, when I receive a phonecall from one of my tenants" how do you turn the heat on, it's pretty cold in here". Now it is only October and there is no way we should be turning the heat on yet, I ask my tenant one question," did you take the ac unit out of the window yet?" his reply "uuhh no" I explain to him the physics of having an open window and how heat escapes. I call back a few hours later to find out if the house has warmed up, amazingly the temperature has risen inside the house.
I call gay/metro Robert to vent to him about the stupidity of some people, when he starts to complain that it was cold also, I ask him "is your window AC unit still in?" What do you think his reply was? I tell you some people.
Now the real reason as to why LA is better than Minneapolis, apart from not having to put up with cold weather. I have a date, woohooo. This was literally one of the best dates I have been on in a while, we meet up at Barnes and Noble, and goto Cheesecake Factory for a fruity drink. After our drinks we go to a rock climbing wall and get our sweat on, and yes I do mean by climbing rocks. After our workout we goto a little asian restaurant and order some food and more drinks, we started to fuck with the waiter and order some obscure drinks just to test the bar. After dinner and more pleasant conversation we ride the ferris wheel at a nearby mall, corny, yes but i am a cornball when it comes to matter of the heart. After more chatting and learning about each other, we decided to goto an amusement park, I'm telling you this would not be happening in Minneapolis. We did some rides, ate some greasy food, shared laughs, all in all a fun time. At the end of the night she dropped me off at my rental car gave me a goodnight kiss thanked me and we went our seperate ways. Will there be a second date? I don't know, but what I do know is that there is definitely a lot of fun things to do in LA, pretty women, great weather, and I LOVE LA.

Let me guess LAPD?

Best of luck ---

if the airport offends you wait till you hit the street, your gonna have to learn to check some of that at the door.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you would make a great undercover officer.

Yes batgirl, LAPD it is, I am used to the profiling, it has been happening for years, i just wanted to rant. What would I need to check at the door? My attitude? It is funny that you would mention undercover work, I probably would do it if I didn't have a semi english accent, it's kind of hard to blend when you sound like I do. Funny story I was approached by secret service recruiters a few years back.
