some guy started a conversation with me from winward farms to the venice post office. he dropped so many names along the way. used typical l.a.-transplant buzzwords: i have a heated pool, jacuzzi. barbecues blahblah. working on who-cares's music videos. surfing an eight-foot custom okazaki. zzz.
after venice, i was on my way to the airport from lincoln. a woman in the car behind was so mad at me because i wasn't in a hurry like her i think. she made angry gestures at me as she passed and turned off on mindanao way. i used to think that someone who drives a clean white m3 to get to her marina condo wouldn't have anything to be unhappy about.
there's a great law in california that keeps medical mj legal to treat a wide variety of pains. imagine if all californians switched from their prescript meds to smoking mj instead.
what's with the stress?
today was what it was. challenge-filled. i'm throwing around a thrown-off vibe i guess. or something in the stars is thrown-off. i'm realizing that i just can't afford to make any plans. at this point, the only plans i've made that actually go through are trips outside of l.a. everything else - as soon as i even think of a plan the universe reminds me (forcefully) that i don't have room for one right now.
after the vp debate tonight, i realized that some of my peers are only starting to feel the pain that i felt 8 years ago in regards to the state of america. what was hilarious to me was disturbing to others. talk about jobs ("are you looking?", "what are you goals?") and money and lots of distrust over dinner at le petit saigon ("but you're not worried?"). i don't know how to describe it. i just knew then and there that would be the last time i would have dinner with the so-called-l.a.-authority-on-cool until i can find some room in my body for that kind of peer-pressured/opinionated vibe. aka bullshit.
words that come to mind when in the pop-culture/streetwear atmosphere: wordy. defensive. money. constant one-ups. zzzs.
i have to admit it's a bit entertaining to observe some people trip out when they come across a person who's not worried.
l.a. has beautiful sunsets.
i've got a long fix list. time-consuming.
my spot. warm water!
delayed flight. wandering lax.
there is something about sunsets.
