los angeles photos part 2

and now, more photos from los angeles:

this is the boardwalks self proclaimed 'world's greatest whino,' he just roams up and down the boardwalk with his sandwich board singing (to the tune of jingle bell rock) 'jingle bell jingle bell help me get drunk.' he also tells jokes to tippers and gives free hugs.
this is a random hot guy, for la santi. there are tons more hot guys, all muscly, and tan. just imagining them rubbing their well sculpted bodies rubbing lotion allllll over... :: cough :: ahem... sorry. wait where am i, what was i talking about.
just a random guy playing the guitar
some random rastifarian.

los angeles photos part 1

so without further ado (and since the random drive by's by santi threatening to physically hurt me should i take any longer in posting them are starting to freak me out), pictures from los angeles, in no perticular order.

This is the boardwalk. This is where i live. It's apartment buildings, then the boardwalk, the median, beach then ocean. Tons of artisans, and crazies, populate the famous Venice Boardwalk. Janis Joplin just one of the many crazy artisans that started here. You can't help but feel the energy.







The view from our apartment. The boardwalk, beach and ocean. No A/C so the windows stay open always.











Boardwalk has a few of these little oasis type looking things all over. Down the block is muscle beach.











This is the side of the apartment building we live in, we decided the guy who did it was on acid and was making if for his friends, who were also on acid.










Oh that acid, it makes you do craaaazy things.













Ok that's just plain cool.













Welcome to Venice Beach.














more pictures to come later.
