CJ Davidson’s Los Angeles #1 Vol 1
12/1/23 Living to see this Day
Somehow, I survived the utter insanity, violence and brutality by simply flowing with it. I must admit, I enjoyed and blended into the landscape.
As this infection fell down apon me for Thanksgiving, I was nearly killed twice.
On my way to work, I walked into traffic, testing my stupidity and my mortality. I heard a honk but did not bother looking as the car barely missed killing me, brushing my hand as it went by. Was I testing something?
Perhaps.
On the bus, I insulted a drug-addict derelict who maced me in my left eye. Luckily there was no permanent damage. But as I flushed out the pepper spray, I asked myself why I did that. Why was I taking so many chances? And most important, “Why was I so mean to this poor slob?”
Everywhere I go in this town, I’m friendly to everyone. I smile to all the homeys and waive at the cops. They know I help seniors and disabled pipples onto the elevator and bus. I’ve been taking metro for years. Nobody really bothers me. Most know me and my look. I don’t have to stress anyone.
I probably won’t see him again, but I feel terrible about being mean to him. He’s probably OD’ing in an alley somewhere.
As I kept a positive outlook this year, I’ve uploaded a number of videos shot from the nasty, corrosive streets of Los Angeles. I do have a video of a guy ODing in the subway.
Can you think of a BETTER video to open this blog?!?!
I thought not.
