i'd be as likely to get under the bus as on it

it was p miserable. the public transit system in LA is really good, and reseda is really like a poo poo little enclave that doesn't deserve it, but the bus that ran from right by the house went to the north hollywood subway then down to the middle of downtown where I work. but the time was screwy on it, so i'd have to leave at around 6:45 to get to work at 9, then i'd get home at about eight PM and do it all over again the next day.

i love my job and the people i work with, so i guess it was actually kinda worth it, even though i make poo poo money for my trouble.

but now i moved closer to work intentionally, just to avoid that fuckery. now i only have to hit the bus stop about 45 minutes before my shift starts and i am good to go. it is heaven to be honest

if u live in burbank u can goto the pinapple saloon in sherman oaks for an authentic epic fail valley bar

but I have my own bar in north hollywood. and it doesn't epic fail. dozens of "goons" have "been" "there" and many still "visit" "us" regularly. you'll know you have found it if you see a twelve foot false "door". use the "other" one.

all "goons" get a draft/shot on me if I'm working. ask the bartenders for scott.

ps I love the valley

pps I have a garage as well as a parking space

ppps yeah, amberpos does not befit such a glorious parking space

I lived in reseda for four months and i can tell you that it is epic fail, i have a 2 hour commute on the bus each way to downtown LA where I work as a computer janitor

Then I moved to by MacArthur park. 15 minute commute bitches, and I can walk to work but its like 2 miles.

i think reseda is mentioned in a frank zappa song. that is my total knowledge of reseda

la is a giant loving area. like huge. a massive urban sprawl. so if there is a bus that can get me from bitch-rear end reseda to downtown los angeles, i'm pretty greateful for it. i lived in tucson for a couple years. their buses stop running at five and are terrible. los angeles transit is pretty fukcing good for the area they have to cover. like surprisingly so. you just gotta avoid the south la buses / trains unless you want to get robbed or have to listen to lovely rap music from one of those portable speaker things because the people, who i shall not name, who use these things just think that if they like this stupid song about riding around in cadillacs and stealing welfare checks, that means that everyone on the loving bus or train wants to listen to it at full volume.

anyway, la is cool and the transsit system is ok to. and I can walk to work. either way im stuck here, but at least i have a job

lol are we inverse-bragging about bad commutes now?

i had an internship in portland one summer, had to take a combination of bus & max light rail to go from gresham to beaverton. spent 3.5 hours in the morning going to work, and 4.5 hours coming back, because the last leg bus stops at 6pm so i had to walk an extra ~3 miles. was kind of nice in a meditative way, but not very good for getting anywhere in a hurry. i spent more time going to and from the office than i spent at work. owned
