  • Ken L.

  • Basart
  • yeah silver lake man, charlie laid flowers at a makeshift memorial, and they are having a public memorial service this saturday
  • Ken L.
  • i could just never understand why, if walking four hours a day was so important to him, he didn't live in a place where it might be pleasant to walk.
  • Ken L.
  • instead, he trudged endlessly through a stucco hellscape of car exhaust and honking horns, with fucked up cracked and rotted sidewalks when you could even *find* a sidewalk
  • Ken L.
  • i used to wonder about the ratio of raw carbon emissions he breathed every day vs. whatever health benefits of the exercise
  • Ken L.
  • his lungs must've been shot to fuck, breathing that poison smog all day long
  • Basart
  • jebus, he could have walked through the franklin and silver lake hills, por ejemplo, rather than Glendale/Rowena/Hyperion
  • Ken L.
  • echo park, griffith park ... lots of decent (not good, but decent) areas with a few trees and an actual trail not overrun with fucking semi trucks and mile-long buses and shit cars full of mutants and slobs
  • Ken L. it is a testimony to the emptiness of life around there -- a hundred blog comments all saying "jeez too bad i never spoke to him only saw him from my car windshield, sitting in traffic my whole fucking life, for nothing."
