My Experience At UCLA This Week (UCLA Transfers READ)

<p>I kind of failed out and got my GED, lol. I would have been class of '05 if I recall correctly.</p>

<p>Yah it’s not somewhere to drive every weekend, but once in a while its a change of pace as I said. I like variety of all sorts personally. </p>

<p>As for the older people, Canyon Club on a Thursday night is a pretty young crowd. You will even see some USC and UCLA students there. Yah the valley has tons of good restaurants. Hollywood is a cool scene, but after a while it gets mundane. Then again I prefer lounges more where you can actually socialize than clubs. </p>

<p>On a side note, if you just need a good laugh, go to Corbin Bowl on a Saturday night for karaoke. We saw this guy there last night</p>

<p>He literally did the same **** on stage. Please watch the whole video it’s amazing. Especially the moves he busts around 4:08 - 4:13. </p>

<p>After he finished up, he gave us his business card. He also tried to dance with every woman and gave everyone awkward high fives. He was followed by a fat asian guy dressed like the biker from the village people. Drinks are cheap too.</p>

<p>^ you know… it’s not so much that i disagree with you… but to suggest that “it’s just a really nice quiet city…” that that’s all it is… well, that’s just plain misleading, isn’t it… </p>

<p>calablackless, if you can dig the irony, is one of many ever-expanding black holes in america, sucking in the rich and giving back nothing to the greater universe… though i guess you could argue that we’d be worse off without blessings like Countrywide Financial and yet another production plant further adding to the already awesome number of LA trophy wives on the market… oh, and if you’re a fan of those generic TV dramas that perpetuate the glory of<em>über-wealthy suburbanite living - “where ‘nothing’ really does matter” - then you owe a thanks, at least in part, to calablackless…
calablackless is the cesspool in which the rich - after amassing their fortunes - go to fester and play golf and then die… but before they die, they raise kids with voided values, inflated egos and carefully nurtured entitlement issues who can never properly be acclimated to
(any) functioning society.
now, before you get all up in my ish about how you’re from calablackless, and how you managed to turn out the model human being, fully equipped with agreeable traits like empathy, appreciation, and humility despite the (dis)advantaged circumstance from which you triumphantly arose… i beg you, RELAX…
i’m not talking about you.
i’m talking about everyone else.
you’re perfect.
i like you, and i hope we can be friends so that one day you’ll invite me back to party in daddy’s mansion next door to some record producer, or real estate mogul, or whoever the </em>* else lives behind those pearly white guarded gates, 30+ miles removed from reality. </p>

<p>from your trust fund, to your good looks, to your dime-piece mom / stepmom / 20 year old, preferably-foreign maid who takes a surprisingly long time cleaning daddy’s bedroom, you’re perfect… and i wouldn’t change anything about you. </p>

<p>*
Dear Calablackless, </p>

<p>Thanks for Incubus, and thanks for the great memories of those overly extravagant high school house parties that allowed me to hook up with girls who were dumber, more wealthy and way better looking than I am. </p>

<p><3,</p>

<p>Eitan</p>

<p>PS ----> I smoke cigarettes every time I’m in you just to spite you.</p>

<p>^lmao…</p>

<p>Don’t forget Britney and the Kardashians!</p>

<p>All aboard the envy train, choo choo! Next stop: Jealousy!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^ case in point.</p>

47

<p>Haha pinkerfloyd that was pretty well-written. Nice.</p>

48

<p>Lol, i’ll bite.</p>

<p>You sound like some lower to middle class kid who has got shot down countless times by calabasas girls (and other rich girls) for your shortcomings. Thats cool. I don’t blame you for having animosity. I would be upset too if I got rejected countless times by the same people just because my parents aren’t as successful as theirs, lol.</p>

<p>I do like your preconceived notion that all people from Calabasas are clueless, disconnected people with voided values. It shows how well your parents raised you. While I personally never lived in Calabasas, I did go to CHS for 2 1/2 years as I mentioned. There were people who did somewhat fit the bill you painted with your stereotype brush, most did not. Most of my friends lived in woodland hills like me, but I did have a decent amount that lived in the city of calabasas. Most of them were pretty poor and lived in apartment buildings. If you were talking about money and such, would have been better of talking about beverly hills, bel air, or even hidden hills.</p>

<p>Now if you don’t mind, I would like to play the stereotype game :smiley: I don’t have much to work with, but based on your name and your contempt for the rich, I will do my best.</p>

<p>Since your name is Eitan I am guessing you are Israeli. Your dad must be in construction. You are clearly jealous of the vastly more successful ashkenazi jews who have flourished far better than their sefardic counterparts. Your family probably chain smokes like crazy, and bathes in hummus daily (Yes, I have seen the documentary Zohan). You work a part time job selling cellphones and cologne. And of course you have that middle eastern sense of entitlement. Your family probably found a way to collect welfare and food stamps while driving a mercedes (granted it is 10 years used). But hey, why not use America like your own piggy bank? I’ll stop here, I don’t want to hurt any feelings :smiley: I must say, I can see why you were stereotyping before, it’s so damn fun haha.</p>

<p>God I love the internet!</p>

<p>Here’s the difference: his was funny, well-written, and original. Yours was trite, unfunny, and obnoxiously brash. If you have the haunting suspicion that you don’t understand something, it’s probably best to leave it be.</p>

50

<p>boohoo? His was pretty funny, I agree. That is why I posted, lol. However, original? I know tons of 15 year olds who can spew the same nonsense. Don’t get your panties in a bunch, mam.</p>

51

<p>Is it just me, or does it seem like tensions arise in nearly every thread?</p>

52

<p>evan, it’s not just you.</p>

<p>pinker, that was hilarious. As a Tarzana resident right on the edge next to Reseda, I have to say that there were plenty of entitled little pricks from my high school, Taft. I don’t know about Calabasas, but the valley is filled with obnoxious rich kids and their obnoxious parents. That’s why I stayed home… also cause I was sad alot ^_^</p>

<p>May I also point out that poor people are obnoxious. And low/middle class people are obnoxious. Pretty much most people are obnoxious. That’s why I stay home… that or because I have no friends ^_^</p>

<p>As for the original point of this thread:</p>

<p>UCLA is a beautiful campus though.</p>

<p>hijynx, before we get any deeper - and believe me, i want to get so deep - let’s change ‘preconceived notions’ to ‘factual observations’ since, you know, i’ve lived in and pillaged the west valley for far too many years now, too. further, the reason i didn’t make an example of places like bel air, beverly hills, etc., is because i have no real lasting impressions of the people who actually live there, (unlike my experience with the calablackless spawn) and, as we’ve established, it’s not like me to make stereotypically preconceived notions, about anyone. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>i wasn’t rejected, but i was definitely judged when driving up in the piece of sh** car that i purchased and paid to maintain with money i’d actually earned… it’s exactly that shallow, hierarchical criteria for respect that disgusts me so much. still, for the record, enough of those then-future trophy wives of calablackless (now manifest) have graced the back seat of that POS 90’s nissan, full glory in its dented green body, time enough for me to look back on those days with a smile.
you’ll probably think, and then respond by telling me that i’m lying, and that’s fine… i don’t mind, because i’m a thick headed israeli who’s living off of your tax-payed dime, using it to fund my tahini baths - not humus, you n00b.</p>

56

<p>Actually, I had a rant here, but forget it.</p>

57

<p>wth have you guys done to the forum.</p>

58

<p>Before we get any deeper, I am straight. In case there was any hidden request there…moving on…</p>

<p>Let’s change “factual observations” to “anecdotal evidence” and we all know where anecdotal evidence belongs…in the garbage. You probably should have learned that in English 103. </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, are you trying to convince me or yourself of your conquests? You have “pillaged” the west valley for far too many years? rofl. Is your idea of pillaging attending high school parties after buying some mike’s hard lemonade with your older brother’s id? Or is it going to hookah bars with a bunch of high school girls at midnight? Oh wait, you got high once and shot paintballs at someone’s house? Lol you crack me up. You are a new age Alaric.</p>

<p>Wow, you bought your own car and had a job? That sets you aside from the…1% of people who don’t? Probably half my friends in Calabasas didn’t have cars until they were 18 and had saved up enough money. The rest had used japanese cars. There were maybe 3-4 that had a nice new car. Most had at least part time jobs though. There goes your theory.</p>

<p>How did you nail so many of these girls if they were so shallow? I mean it kind of defeats your argument, no? They are shallow scum yet they still sleep with you despite your POS car? Are you saying they liked you for who you were and didn’t care about your car? Hmm…</p>

<p>I couldn’t care less how many of those girls you say you plowed in the back of your Nissan, but I am sure I don’t need to tell you the truth about guys that try and brag about how many chicks they have nailed, lol.</p>

<p>Now please, go enjoy some Fizzy Bubblech. It’s on the house. The laughter you provided me more than makes up for the tax dime you use.</p>

<p>I would just like to point out that this was the title of this thread</p>

<p>“My Experience At UCLA This Week (UCLA Transfers READ)”</p>

<p>I’m so glad we stay on topic.</p>

<p>Anywho, i’ll try and get back on topic. I visited the campus a few weeks back and what really sealed the deal for me was just how laid back everyone was. People were all getting their work done, but they were also doing so much else. For instance, the gym was packed, the Pauley Pavilion had some event going on that i wished i could have stayed for and everyone was just all around friendly. I visited Berkeley too, and laid back just isn’t really a word to describe it. The surrounding area could best be described as “eclectic,” but it just wasn’t for me. I dig laid back. Plus UCLA doesn’t have hippies… yet.</p>

<p>Kudos to you, snackadj! :slight_smile: someone needed to bring it back</p>
