That's right... I have a blog!

Jim Morrison came here in 1965 with little money.
He left a rock god.

Arnold Schwarzenegger arrived in 1968 with little english.
He now governs the state.

I pulled in about 2 weeks ago.
I do the 4-7pm cleaning shift at the Cotel.

I will enter this script into my blog at the local library this aftrenoon, but now I scribe it sitting on Venice Beach, CA. The weather has been fatastic and will continue. It is windy now but I am protected from the flying sand as I sit shielded by a lifeguards' tower.

To the north I see mountains and dotted along them Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Malibu. To the south is the OC about 15 miles away. Behind me is the boardwalk. At a glance I see a grubby man playing a piano for tips, a black man rolling on skates with an amp strapped to his back and a guitar on his front. There are punk kids skating and a young guy talking to himself. A lady with lips as red as her high heels is wheeling herself in a chair. There's two officers sitting in their black and white - one of which is gazing through a pair of binoculars.

Soon I will head back to the Cotel for my shift. And I will probably once again ponder that time in Mrs Wilson's grade 3 class when we were to write down what we would be doing in the future. I'm not sure if I will smile or shake my head!
