So I went for a drive this afternoon and found the city bustling with people. Running errands usually includes these periods of driving where I stare off into the distance and put my mind in a sort of auto-pilot while driving. I like to watch people, and I guess thats why I started working at a bar. Anyway, during my drive and in between the frequent shouting in my head at all of the idiots driving in front of me, I watched people going about their day as I sped past. It's not often that people look around and take notice of their surroundings and ponder on the existance of the thousands of lives that surround us at any given time in any given place. Kids walking home from school wishing they didn't have to do so much home work as they wander past an old woman who wakes up every morning both grateful and pissed off to be alive. A man in a business suit waiting for the bus thinking that if the bus doesn't come soon he's going to break down and spend his kids college fund on a car, and gas to run it. As a young woman with her child in a stroller meandering by an attractive male who is out for an afternoon run, she thinks to herself "if only my husband was this hot and motivated, I wouldn't need to have 2 jobs and sleep around with other men".
"Damn brats" repeats over and over in the head of a homeless man as he watches a group of afluent youth roll by in the Lexus bougth for the driver by his mom because he threw a fit when his friends got cars for their 16th birthday."I need a coffee" I think to myself as the diverse population fades in my mirrors. They will be there tomorrow, playing their respective parts as they do, day in and day out. Down town Honolulu in all of it's glory. Really makes me want to take a day and wander the streets to catch these people on film. . . .sounds like an adventure to me
