Wacky Day

I just saw two of the most ridiculous things ever. Living in Los Angeles you just can't avoid being surrounded by idiots. Stupid fucking people who just don't know how to think. Like if you're trying to parallel park on the street with your blinkers on, people will honk. They drive by and flip you off or yell at you. If you stop to let people in the crosswalk cross, the people behind you honk, as if you just decided to stop for no reason. Just stop and meditate for a while. Which is probably why, to quote Bill Hicks, "California's the only place where common courtesy has to be enforced." That whole pedestrian right-of-way law.

So I was on the way to the mechanic to give him a check for one of our limos. I caught a red light. So did this van that was in the left turn lane who was waiting to turn. I stopped at the line. He stayed stopped in the MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION!!! Swear to god. I thought maybe he stalled or something. So the cars with the green had to go straight or turn left while driving around him. Then the next set of cars got their green and drove around him. Then we got the green and he made his turn.

This fucking idiot didn't want to turn on the red light, so he decided it better to stay in the middle of the fucking intersection. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? The other phonomenon that occurred at this point was that not one person honked. Not one. Maybe people just couldn't believe someone could be that stupid.

I can't even get away with doing something as reasonable as parallel parking without furrowing a lot of brows and almost getting assasinated and this ass-clown does the most ridiculous thing ever and people act as if nothing's going on. Did this guy close his eyes and pretend no one was there?

Going to hang out with Jeanne's friend Susie and Alex tonight. Wonder what we're doing? I don't have money. I was trying to save money because next week, Alex's band Irving is playing a show. I was really looking forward to that show. I have a big interest in seeing bands in their hometown. It could be really great or really lame. This is Los Angeles. I'm not expecting much.
