Having trouble
seeing
thinking
blinded
pain
loss
more pain
I live
and I
hide
and
I
think
and I
try
and forget
and
that
doesn’t work
I miss
my kids
there is an empty
world trade center
in
my heart
for them
that’s a lot
my heart aches
for
them
in my prayers
I
whisper
bring light to my children
and all that they know
in a world
of suffering
they
will
know
what it
feels like
to long
for that
which
is
not
there
be still
in these
unanswered
childhood moments
forever
scaring
in horrific
crazed expresions
of hate
and anger
and love
all that
needs to be fulfilled
all that
needs
to
be
seen
WTF! !!!!!!
my kids
have turned up
in my rhymes
to be chill’en
years denied
What can I say
shit is fucked up
I got a girl that is all up wit me
what can I say, she’s fly and
loves me
Kitties on the couch
and cookies in the oven
I have a million flaws
but I love them
maybe someday
my kids
might
get
to
know
me
I hope so

Chaplin Studios on La Brea in Hollywood
Driving in LA can be a blessing and a curse. The traffic can be so totally fucked on the freeways that you look for alternate routes to the places you want to go. I've been taking a bootleg route to work at the CityWalk, taking La Cienega to La Brea to get me from Redondo Beach into Hollywood. I was stopped at a red light at the corner of Sunset and La Brea and realized that I was at the historic location of the old Charlie Chaplin Studios. I thought quickly, took out my camera and snapped a couple of shots. How cool to think that some of my favorite Chaplin films were shot at this very location. Movies like, "The Kid", "The Gold Rush", "City Lights", "Modern Times", "The Great Dictator" & "Limelight", all shot here at this historic location.
After the Chaplin era, or maybe I should be saying the McCarthy era that forced him to leave this country, pretty much for good, the studio changed hands many times. After being sold by Chaplin in 1953, the property went through several changes in ownership and has served at various times as Kling Studios, the Red Skelton Studios, the shooting location for the "Adventures of Superman" and "Perry Mason" television series, and as the headquarters for A&M Records and is currently home of Jim Henson Productions. Lots of entertainment history hidden out in the open, on the streets of LA.
