A Cali Tale

(http://globalcalifornia.blogspot.com/2014/04/california-journey.html)

In honor of Ted 2 being released this past week, I thought I would write a about my adventures in the form of a fairy tale.

"From Georgia came a little black boy

His upcoming journey to California brought him much joy

So he hopped in his Nissan

Giddy almost without reason

He substituted the deep fried South for the land of kale and soy

 

The journey was long, treacherous, and exhausting

Endless roads, the pavement laced with black and yellow frosting

Interstates crossed

Sanity lossed

There's no telling how much this trip will end up costing

 

But the journey was worth it, once every state was crossed

The roads in Cali were strange though, and quickly the little black boy was lost

Burbank to Hollywood

This land was as foreign to him as Bollywood

A new insight was required, and all previous knowledge was tossed

 

Soon the black boy settled, and his new life began

A job was his next mission, unemployment being synonymous with a rape van

Internships he began working

Executives and networking, he began lurking

opportunities fall off from the proverbial drip pan

 

Now the little black boy has settled, but this is not where the story ends

Life has forever changed, in entertainment the world is viewed through a camera lens

There is work to be done

Through youth the challenge will be fun

As the little black boy looks into the unknown of the future he grins"
