violence.
Yesterday as I was walking down the street to this family restaurant to pick up a grilled cheese and fries that I had ordered, there was a helicopter hovering overhead and police officers flying down the street. This is not a rare occurrence in my neighborhood. Almost every night there’s a helicopter flying around with [...]

lowlife.
Last Friday I finally bought some new books, 4 of them. Yesterday I finished the first – “The Informers” by Bret Easton Ellis. Each chapter is a new short story through the eyes of a new/different person. In the end, all the characters are somehow related, but the stories are isolated to each character. You [...]

In one minute, by the time I finish this, it will be Mom’s birthday. July 7, 1966. She’d be 42.
I’ve been having a hard time with life lately. I’ve been spending a lot of time alone. I don’t know where my friends are. I’m not even sure I know who my friends are anymore either. [...]

west hollywood.

I doubt I know anyone who reads this, but if I do, or if you live in LA, I better see your face there tomorrow.

mountain goats.
I’m going to see the Mountain Goats tonight at the Troubador. This is a historic event.
I got really into the Mountain Goats after Lansie put them on a mixtape she made me for my birthday. This tape she made was perfect. The last song on both sides finished just at the end of allotted space [...]

on the road.
I finished “On The Road” by Jack Kerouac on the flight back to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania. We’ve only just started February and I’m 2 weeks and a full book behind my goal at the beginning of the year. I need to find some short books to catch up.
I really enjoyed “On The [...]

Oh Los Angeles, how I’ve missed thee. But what’s up with me freezing my ass off at night and sweating during the day?
