  <body>&lt;p&gt;My commute no longer consists of a 10 minute drive or a 40 minute skateboard ride up the street.  I have traded in that awesome commute for an hour long commute that consists of me driving through Korea Town and La Cienaga.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are a couple of things that I have learned so far with my commute.  
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Even though my commute was like 2 miles in the heart of Glendale, I still come across more crappy drives in those 2 miles commute than I do in my hour long commute through the heart of LA.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You think your streets are ridden with potholes and neglected by CalTrans, try driving through my commute.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are so many people selling t-shirts, food, dolls, etc out of the trunk of the car and apparently that is ok.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are so many people selling t-shirts, food, dolls, etc out of the trunk of the car and apparently that is ok to the police.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Speaking of police, there so many freaking police in LA, I am surprised anyone would do anything stupid.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My commute takes me about an hour regarldess of the worst traffic or no traffic at all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
