Since the year 850 when an Ethiopian goat herder discovered the properties of the coffee bush this brew has helped to turn miserable turds into semi-human functional beings.

Coffee is an important part of my life, my coffee bar owner is my Doctor and he administers my daily doses of caffeine from 6:30am 7 days a week. I personally drink 4 or 5 cups a day, and love coffee more than anything....... well I do love women and cigarettes too.

I do have some side effects such as the odd 4 inch long eyebrow hair appearing almost instantly after the second cup, follicle anomalies are just a minor problem, and it is a cheap form of anger management too.

Is coffee important to you and is it part of the culture where you live?

You Mean To Tell Me That You Really Did That?...........................Are You Stupid Or What?...I Dont Think Its "Or What"...Leave It To Human Beings..Probably The Most Stupidest Race Of Life On Earth........................................

I am getting ready to go get something to smoke for tonight.

Whatcha doing?

All Of That "Trying To Forget" Shit Does?........................... Is Bring Back All Of Those Yesterdays ........That Are Impossible To Hide Away ..................Or Forget...........I Had Someone One Time That Said To Me.............."Just Don't Think About It"............. That's So Easy For Someone To Say....Why?
Because They Have Not The Slightest Idea That "Trying To Forget?"........ Is Impossible To Do...Totally

How Does One Forget Talking With Someone One Minute
And Suddenly...In A Flash?.........(Well...I'll Say It In A Nice Way)....They Are Gone
That's When ....The Person That Has Witnessed The Happening?....Starts Cursing God Himself

Yeah...It's All Coming Back Now
I Can Still See Ole "Spider Jackson" (A Black Guy)
He Used To Tell Me Stories Of Things That Happened When He Was A Kid In The Deep South
Of How A Tornado Came Through His Town And Leveled Everything...Except For One Thing That It Did Not Touch.......(A Baby In A Cradle)...I Never Forgot Him Telling Me That Story...And The Expression On His Face
As He Was Telling Me His Story
Me?..Of Course A New Bee There At The Time?....Needed Someone Like Him...Because Most Of The Guys There?...They Didn't Want To Get To Know Me...In Fact?...Some Didn't Even Want To Know My First Name

(I Found Why... Later... Through Ole Spider).....He Told Me The Reason When I Asked Him This Question
"Why Is It That Most Of These Guys Are Acting Like That They Can't Hear Me?.... And Are Avoiding Me?....And Don't Want To Get To Know Me"?

He Would Say This To Me With His Great Way Of Saying It...With His Philosophy
He Answered Me With These Words

"Man?...They Don't Mean To Come Off Being That They Don't Like You"..."They Just Don't Want To Get Close Man"..."Because If You Were To Catch One?...Then They End Up Feeling Real Bad"...."And Man?... I'll Tell Ya... That's One Thing That Everyone Is Trying To Avoid...So Man?..Don't Take It Personal...Everybody Is Doing The Down Counting
Every Day That Goes By?...Is One Day Closer To Gettin Ta Hell Out Of Here"
(And?...He Continued)
"You Know Man? ...When We Are Born?...There's A Number That Signifies Our End"
"And We Cannot Avoid That Number...Whether It's Crossing The Street?...Or Slipping In A Puddle"
"Or Catching A V C Bullet...There Is No Need To Be Worrying Man...Because?...When It's Your Time?"
"Man...It's Your Time"

(And Then?..After Saying All Of That?)
(And With His Back To Me... As He Would Start Walking Away?)
(You Could Hear Him Singing That Song By The "Animals")

("We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"..."If It's The Last Thing That We Ever Do")
("We Gotta get Out Of This Place"..."Girl? There's A Better Life..... For Me ...And You"

Spider Jackson?......He Was A Good Great Friend ...That Helped Me In Many A Way To Try And Get Through It All... With His Words.....And Of Course?..... The Way He'd Say It To Me

Ole "Spider?".... Had Made It Through 344 Days There
He Had Just 21 Days Left To Go Before He Could Get The Hell Out Of There...And Go Home
And That Guy Would Make Me Laugh By Saying
"I'm So Short... That I Can Sit On A Razor Blade...... And Swing My Legs"
(Referring To How Long It Would Be Before He'd Get His Marching Orders)

But...Unfortunately?......Only Just Two Days Later?....Ole Spider Met His End..... When The Platoon He Was With?...... Ended Up Being Ambushed....Nobody Made It Out Of That Alive
When I Got The News?...I Literally Fell Apart...Not For Me.....But For Him...And Yeah...I Cursed God

So?...There Is No Way To Forget What You Do Not Want To Remember....Is There?....Nope...No Damned Way

Looking On Back?...What Did Over 57,000 Deaths Accomplish?
Not One Damned Thing At All.....Absolutely....... NOTHING!!!

I was just put threw the "Ringer"(I assure you Im not "Wet" anymore...."I was hung out to Dry" .....Its funny and it isnt at the same time....But i guess there are some who enjoy the power of "Hurting Others"(THats not me)...(But when you do what was done to me?(Thats a Horse of a Different Color).....so the best bet would to not talk with anybody anymore........Thats the only way to be sure...If something happens with you and its 1 Iota different....Be prepared for the inevitable ending which will be coming at you at a Very High Rate Of Speed........"If it dont feel right"...."Theres something wrong".....Get out while you can.........Myself?..I "Quit"Before I was told I was "Fired".......Aint it so True that..."Its a Thin Line Between Love and Hate"...."And I have now Crossed Over"..........................

Sunset Blvd, that is....

I had to run some errands in Hollywood and took a few pics.

Across from the bank is this apt. Bldg that's seemingly had an iPhone ad plastered to it's facade for years. For about 5k a month you can have a nice view of DT LA...and a Starbucks on the ground level. Now that's a bargain!




On my way to the dispensary, I pass this iconic landmark.


Then, as I get to Sunset and Cahuenga, there's a chill in the air...(Dun Dun Duuuunnnnn). The dreaded CNN building!




Then, after getting my 'fix' I head toward Philz but as I wait to cross, there's some police activity. Someone set a small fire and one of the cops is putting it out with an extinguisher while others cuff the loon.




Across the street is one of the last 'record stores' I know of, Amoeba Music.



And then to Philz where I intend to put a dent in the gift card I got for X-mas...



...and where some of the most valuable artwork in LA resides.





But wait. What did I see on the wall behind the Baristas?


I seem to recall seeing a similar image right here on CS recently.


To the 5 people who might be bothered to look at this blog: Thanks for stopping by!



*edit

To no one in particular


Great to see your artwork and I'm tempted to post it here but...pretty sure they'd think it was me and then I'd have to get a restraining order....

Wb, ty, and love the Banksy reference!

I can't be the only one bored to tears over the stupid pointless lies being told about Trump, some of them rolled out again and again. So annoying when they are corrected on one blog and the OP simply starts another with the same blatant misinformation.

So here's a challenge. His own words ONLY. Tweets, videos, anything you like. A brief covering comment (for those who can't be arsed to follow links) and then the link or Tweet. Let the man speak for himself.

I'm kicking off with his views on wikileaks. Starts with a comment in 2019, but clips go back to that much-watched debate with Ms Clinton in 2016. Does he know nothing about it (2019) or does he love it? Let him tell you himself, from 2016.



This should be a nice quiet blog, everyone prefers to drone on with their own interpretations but this is ONLY what he says himself, that's the deal. I don't, by the way, care either way, so links that make him shine are also fine. I'm just sick of whiney regurgitated massaged cherry-picked gum-bumping and those are the ONLY comments I will probably delete when I'm next in.

Oh, and anything that accuses me of being a Biden-lover. Nuh-UH. The only person in American politics who is more dreary than Trump is Biden (so if you want a Biden equivalent blog, start it yourself.)

Now that I have retired and only work one day a week I am a People Greeter, yes this job started off as greeting people when they enter the store now we check receipts of customers when they are leaving the store.

Times have changed for sure there was this time when people could be trusted and now it is where all eyes are on you with cameras in store and now you get checked leaving the store.

You come across three kind of people, one are honest and don't care if you check there receipt and the second get upset with you cause you make them think they are stealing, and the third is just stealing.

It has come to a sad time that a few can make the rest of good people feel that the times has come to no trust no matter what.

Now it has also come to the time that you just can't really know who is honest and who is not, I don't know if it is the economy and people just don't have money or is it just people that times have changed.

This is a true story

A elderly lady was coming toward me and I was thinking what a lovely sweet looking elderly woman I just know is someone sweet loving grand mother, and as she came to me I asked can I see your receipt ? she hesitated for a moment and then gave me here receipt and I looked at it but not really looking at it cause she was so honestly looking and handed back the receipt and said to her Thank You.

She took a couple of steps away then turned back to me and said.....JACK a**.....

yes sometimes you don't catch a Thief but you get another nick name

I went on a Caribbean Cruise with my son Dec. 2-9. Had a wonderful time! Flew from Milwaukee, WI. to Miami, Fl. We boarded a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship called the Getaway! The ship was only 2 or 3 years old.

The staff and crew were excellent! Lots of restaurants and bars on board. A cafeteria, with good food, was open from early morning to early evening! Sang Karaoke 3 of the nights! That was fun! All of our food and drinks were paid for in a special package!

If you have an opportunity to make a cruise, I highly recommend it! Great fun and relaxation!

Bon voyage!
