sometimes I like things

I like driving up La Brea from the 10 into Hollywood.

I like parking in Hollywood right at five o'clock when all the spots are open

I like watching the tourists in their matching shorts mingle with the costumed characters

I like the self promoting rappers in front of Virgin

I like wearing sunglasses on the shady side of the street
--walking away from the sun

I like smiling to tourists
--no really I do

I like to pretend I walk these streets everyday to a job I love
from a loft that overlooks the capitol records building

I like the Hotel Cafe where a Stella is only five dollars
I like the couple which sat near me
--she rested her head on her husband's shoulder
--he looked surprised
--she looked happy and in love again

sometimes I love things

I love Lauren Hoffman's voice;
on the album (she forgot to bring copies) it sounds great,
in person it sounds amazing.

I love that I can have that much fun being alone
in Hollywood.

I love an evening that couldn't have gotten any better
