So season 5 of Californication has just started. This show used to be one of my favs! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be hank moody, an artist living by his own rules.  His life is so rock n roll.

It starts off with him breaking up badly with his current side piece.  Since he is perpetually in love with his baby mamma, every woman he gets involved with is a side piece.  As I’m watching this, I’m finding myself not really being interested.  I guess my life and my values have really changed since season 4 ended.  Originally I was thinking that the season must have ended like a few years ago, but it ended earlier this year. So what happened in that time that allowed, or rather forced me to mature? Well for one, in may we had our fourth baby.  Hmm, my boss got transferred out of our office, our job laid off people for the first time since I’ve been there. In other words, real world shit.

Anyway, back on topic.  So I’m sitting there like, yeah, so hank is an ass, haven’t seen that before, yawn. And all of a sudden, in walks meagan goode! wait wha….?  (Spoiler Alert). They tease around the idea of hooking up.  She vanishes almost as quickly as she showed up, only to come back as the love interest of none other than the RZA! I’m like wtf! Ok, they done did it now. I’m interested.

I remember when I went out to LA a few years ago, I loved it! But I didn’t see no hip hop influence. It’s like it was washed out. With shows like entourage and this one, we get an insiders look at Hollywood. Now let’s see if we get that view from a hip hop perspective.

Peace.
