1st Real Day as A Blogger

It is the beginning of my 1st week as a blogger. On my way to work, camera close by... I think I might be addicted! Doing my usual 3 day a week commute, on foot, down the dreary 4th street, I am quite certain you will have a lot of fun getting the Un-Conventionalist's view of this street.

I am aware of everything... oh, except that my ankle boot was unzipped for half of my walk... silly me. I was laughing and of course, I have it documented. Today was a different Monday, b/c instead of Yusuke being next door at NaNa-La, I worked there today. I am usually at Imonni, which is the girl clothes, today I got to work at the boy store (which is actually for grown men, I think "boy store" sounds cuter.)

Cat worked at Imonni today, and I couldn't help but take a million pictures of her fabulous outfit.
I always think it is funny, that I mop in heels and fab outfits, so I decided to take some cleaning inspired shots of us.

Across the street, there is a half-way house. It took me awhile to figure this out. I had seen random people leaving it, walking around. Now, it has been 2 years, and the familiarity is in tune. There is a newer addition to the house, a man who goes around and asks everyone for money, yet, he gets everything paid for at his house. Today, I actually caught him out panhandling, then he didn't get any money, so he went back to his house and changed into something better!!! I couldn't believe it. I used to feel sorry for him, but this guy knows what he is doing. He would come to the store at first, and learned that just asking the street walkers was more sufficient. Being in Hollywood, I am quite used to panhandlers. I would give them my leftovers, which they in turn, would throw away right in front of me. It was upsetting to me because I would have eaten that food! I had very limited money and food was normally a bowl of rice in those days... ug...

Point of the story, I suppose, is that I hate when people ask for money and don't need it. I know this guy looks a little rough around the edges, but what is he collecting for? Perhaps I need to ask. Oh yes... I will report back later.

Later...

AH! I wrote before adding pictures and now I am having difficulties! I have tried to add the photos a million times, and it isn't working out the way I want it... So, I am going to post this, then add the photos... because I can. This is my blog... so there! heehee
