it's been a multi-tasking environment for me lately. this entry is turning out to be my journal of late as i can't seem to separate the past few weeks into their prospective moments...
(11 november):
interesting being in l.a. always interesting. yet some times i drive around this town wishing i were somewhere else. and it's like, why? l.a. is dope! somewhere else will happen when i'm there. right now, i'mz absorbing the hometown.
funny how life works when i stop thinking that c'est moi qui fait le tour du monde. does that translate correctly? basically, life is a very cool being.. i'm personifying life now, as if it were the ultimate mentor/leader.. and i'm just starting to recognize its presence and magic. all this time i took the credit, it was life all along.
i'm at the flower shop right now. lots of funny coincidences with this gig. it motivates me to take more interest in l.a. politics. i learn about all of the amazing effects of medical mj, like alleviating everything from a foot injury to the side effects of HIV meds or chemo. i'm meeting a rainbow of human beings. all of it is very humbling.
(24 november):
working another double today. today's flower is woody o.g. as in woodpecker? no. harrelson. by the way, love how the "medical marijuana debate" is getting so much press. ♥
villaraigosa sound bite at today's council mtg: "make [mj] like beer, i don't care."
so today has been weird. but i have a mantra that's keeping me in check. all is well. peace and balance. it started with a dream i had this morning. yeah yeah, it's not real - one of those. but it was entertaining in future-seeing sense. so weird. basically, there's a key conversation between me and a good friend where we both had this revelation: neither of us has no idea where this is going. and that's actually a great thing. dope. one of those.
then going to work, a girl in a pt cruiser hit me from behind on wilshire and lacma. i was so pissed. yet when i got out of my car i found myself giving her a hug and just kind of brushed off the incident, although really pissed with a weird elitist-pacifist tone. polite, but with a very loud and judging voice.
she responded in a very cute tone, "i need to relax and not stress out too much."
i took off my sunglasses, "yeah, me too."
we just stood there (it was bright and sunny out, by the way)... and then i told her to forget about it.
it was a very tenenbaums moment midtown l.a. steez.
i got back in my car and realized that i'm ovulating.. again. already?

karsen jane six weeks before we arrived.
