I know it's terrible but it hasn't killed me yet.
I have the cocoa & Newtons on my balcony while I look out over the 101 freeway and watch the cars zip by. I try to catch a glimpse of the driver's faces so I can make up stories to go along with them, like: the angry guy coming home from the Commerce Casino, a girl who doesn't know that this is the day she'll meet her future husband, and the lady singing along with the radio who's about to cause a six car pileup.
Is this odd behavior? Maybe. I really enjoy it, tho.
People always ask if the freeway is dirty or noisy or disgusting but it really isn't.
In its own spartan way it's quite beautiful.
I love the city just before daybreak. The high contrast light makes everything look like a movie.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThere is beauty in the concrete landscape of LA, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteUs Franklin folks have got to stick together on this subject!
DeleteIf there was a beauty contst for blogger you win hand's down.
ReplyDeleteIs their a prize? Is it cocoa, Fig Newtons or money? If so count me in!
Deleteit probably would be odd behavior if there weren't fig newtons involved. They make sense of everything.
ReplyDeleteYou have a certain way with words.
DeleteA lot of guys probably say this but you are incredible. Those shots of you on Weebly have got me crazy. I live in LA too and if you want to get together I'll make you a very happy woman. I've got connects too. I wouldn't even mind if you wanted to keep drawing or writing comics. whatever it takes. I'm going to write to right now.
ReplyDeleteUh...thank you! I don't know what "write to right" means. I'm scared of your frenzy... and I'm already taken {with any luck.}
DeleteBut I am flattered in a nervous sort of way.
