every time i drive to north hollywood and take coldwater so i can brood at the mulholland overlook, there are several massive, lighted, blinking signs that say, “WATER MAIN PROJECT. EXTREME DELAYS. USE ANOTHER ROUTE.” the haters and losers reeeeaaaaaallly don’t want me to sit on top of my car and vape (because you're not allowed to smoke out there; wildfires) and listen to elliott smith and ponder and yearn and contemplate and draw conclusions and create paradigms and perspectives and viewpoints. 😎 i also want to point out that i’ve never hit these fabled ”extreme delays” taking the canyon, and then i don’t have to drive the 101, which is infinitely less interesting and sparkly.
i guess it says something about me and my choices that i’ll take a road i‘m warned possesses nothing but delays and trouble for me if it means i get to see something sublimely beautiful along the way. i wonder how many of those people down there are trying to quit vaping. i wonder how many love christopher guest movies. i wonder how many ignore warning signs too ⛔️
