This is the FIRST and ONLY Library that I Use Here in CALIFORNIA.

On My 2nd Day in California, the Morning that KIVA said I could stay with her, this is where I sat and ate my Raisin Cinnamon Bagel with Butter. I was wearing Army Fatigue Cargo Pants with holes in the knee area, a White Tank Top, and a Dog Tag Necklace...with Brown Flops~

...and This is the Library's Courtyard that Security told Me I had to Move to, since I was Eating.

LP! [Lauging Profusely]

Here I Stand...As I Am

This is like Only ONE of FOUR Wachovias in the ENTIRE State of California.

BEFORE I Found the SECOND One, 3 Blocks from My North Hollywood Apartment,

I would LITERALLY Come ALL of the Way to Santa Monica to use the Goddamn ATM Machine.

Ummm...

I had NO idea that Phone Booths even STILL Xisted.

I Clearly Shave through EVERY NewsPaper, Searching for Industry JOBS.

I Snapped this Photo as I was walking towards my car, Parked at The Santa Monica Library.

Peace & Circumstance

It wasnt My idea NOT to wear the Belt...
