Signs, signs, everywhere signs...

The following story is true.

*This morning I walked to the grocery store and I realized I was walking on Hollywood Blvd. so I started to sing "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to myself.

*On the way back I saw the biggest roach, dead on it's back in front of a sushi place also on Hollywood Blvd.

* A block later for some reason "We Are the Champions" then popped into my head. Not all the lyrics and not in order. I merged the first part of the first verse and the second part of the second verse.

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -


That about sums me up, especially the last two lines.

*Got back and immediately went back out to Borders on Sunset and Vine to pick up the Hollywood Reporter. I park and the meter takes some of my coins but not all. It's totally indiscriminate as to which ones it takes.

*Supposedly there's a special section I've been looking to check out that only appears the first Tuesday edition of the Hollywood Reporter each month. Last month I went on Tuesday and they had the Monday edition. I figured maybe they put them out a day later so being that I really couldn't make use of the info. anyway at that time, I decided just to wait until August. I went yesterday and again they had Monday's edition out so I go today and they have Wednesday's edition out! C'mom- work with me here.

*I get in the car and "Stayin' Alive" is just ending on the radio. I turn onto Hollywood Blvd., change the station and get the dead air just as a song begins.

Almost as if on cue, I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known...
