Limbo Limbo Land!
I have found myself stuck in a place I call Limbo Land! I guess when you live a life of one foot in the door and one foot out, you never really feel grounded. Since I have been home the main mission has been taking care of taxes, apartment hunting and trying to get some projects (work) going. Dealing with my taxes was much less painful then I originally planned for, apartment hunting has been slow going and the same can be said for working.
But maybe I should rethink the word slow, I have only been home for 2 weeks which isn’t that long, but remember my last name is Swift… so I tend to like things done at a fast pace. Today I decided to take a break after looking at a lackluster apartment. Los Angeles can be a tough city to find relief from the madness, but there is one place that I can always go to clear my head and relax.
Runyon Canyon is a place where most people go to hike/workout, but I seem to use it more as a place I go and sit for hours and think/dream of things. From my perch high above the gridlocked and polluted LA streets, I sit as a Hawk would scanning the horizon for interesting things. It’s a quite peaceful place sitting there watching people below going about their everyday business. The sounds of cars on the freeway sound like the ocean if you listen real carefully. It’s also a great place for my favorite sport in the world… “People watching”. This place has been said to be a great spot for celebrity sightings. I must say in my years of coming here I have only seen a few movie stars. But for me this place has something more interesting then celebrities… beautiful women!
On clear days I can see all the way to the ocean, but most days the skies are a nice shade of grey/brown thanks to the pollution. While I was sitting there today a women in her mid 30’s came up the hill huffing and puffing and said to me “Why are you just sitting there?” I replied, “Why not, this is the best seat in the city!” Like her most of use tend to miss out on the little joys in life. So instead of working up a sweat I sat back and enjoyed myself in the one place in this city that I still can.
