It's Not the Heat. No Wait, Yes it is.

Lately it's been very hot here in Southern California. It's like an oven outside and that's with the ocean breeze we get here in Santa Monica. I had to go to the valley the other day to the porn capital of the world, Van Nuys (oddly though not to film a new porn video) and I was driving my Jeep on the 405 freeway and when I got to the top of the hill it was like a blast of hot air like opening an oven door. I think the valley is like a big soup bowl that traps all the hot air and smog and stuff. I don't think I could live down there. Besides, I'm like a fish kinda, if I live more than a few blocks from the ocean I'll start flapping around, gasping for air.

I think temperature wise, I must be a very picky girl. Having grown up in Hawaii, for me the perfect temperature runs between 80 - 89 degrees. Anything outside of that range starts getting uncomfortable for me. Seriously. If we get into the 90's, sure I can handle it just like I can handle the 70's, but I'm not happy about it. I think one of the reasons I don't go to cold places very often is because when I'm in a place less than 70 I get very cold. That's no fun!

So I was thinking about this and I realized that the heat makes people crazy. I've been feeling crazier lately whenever I'm outside doing stuff and I'm hot. Like driving around in traffic, people have lost their minds! I'm sure there's a study somewhere that will back up the idea that heat makes peope crazier. So that being the case, isn't it interesting that most of the terrorists we hear about come from hot places? Most of the instability of the world are in hot countries and most terrorism takes place in hot places? Okey sure we can all point to exceptions, but I think the majority of stuff is happening where its really hot. I have to wonder if the middle east would really be such a violent place if it were relocated to Antarctica. I'm betting things would calm down really fast. You don't see anyone fighting over land in Antarctica. No one cares who lives where down there, no one's talking about blowing those infidel penguins off the map, it's just too damn cold to bother arguing about it. For those of you who think I've just said something really stupid by oversimplifying the problems of the middle east or terrorists or whatever, hey, I'm not being serious okey? Well, maybe a little serious, I mean come on, half the people in Van Nuys who were walking down the street looked ready to run into an ice cream parlor with a bomb strapped to their chest if it meant they could enjoy air conditioning for the half second before the bomb went off. Of course they always seem to look that way even when its not that hot, so that might not be a good example. Still, you'd think that people living in the porn capital of the world would be a lot happier, but I guess when its that hot, even porn doesn't seem as fun.
