In my tour of San Gabriel I have come upon numerous places to eat and enjoy exploring. My run has led me to a coffee shop. tattoos....tattoos...tattoos....that's the first thing that pops up in my head. Almost the mascot of the place (no offense), ms. tattoo absolutely captures your eye. What is it about her? (see my earlier post about tattoos). PSYCH!SENSE goes off telling me the need to show the world who they feel like in a very personal way....huh? as in...the visible depiction on the body shows much of their inner work...really? interesting...anyways...isn't is amazing how everywhere in life on your Heroes Journey you find those that captulate the stereotype? She is the pinnacle "hot girl." Like in friends...the girl at the copy center that the guys go to stare at. haha. The girl in 3rd grade that all the boys would try and trip...There also is an interesting sadness in her...or....cover up for something else. maybe.
Ms. Boston. Well..how personable was she..a very sweet lady that holds a certain mix of spunk, attitude and connection. I can feel a sense of wanting to connect to others...a sense of wanting to make acquaintances and hear stories...while telling others hers as well. She must have sat with me no more than 2 times and I can easily write a book about her family, ex relationships and current situation. No ill meant towards her...she is just seemingly comfortable with who she is...or perhaps...hmmm...my PSYCH!SENSE tells me that maybe she is just happy. Perhaps her ability to openly discuss herself and her life is a measure of happiness of her current situation....I like that. One could argue that her expression of her life to a stranger would hint at personal venting...but why go there? My gut tells me that she is able to open up to others and try and make them feel comfortable because of her comfort with herself.
Mr. Hotdog. (spelling?) is a very open guy. Talks a lot about flying...such a love he has for it...to the point of having to mention it often during the course of a single conversation. Ya know...I don't have much to say about him...the couple of times i've ran into him he is able to effectively dish out information and give bits of himself in the process. He is more than willing to give you his opinion...but quite honestly he has a great personality. Where else do you find a bike riding, airplane flying, salesman who wants to open up a hot dog cart without having to build 3 sinks....then in this place. hahahah...i mean...what a wonderful description...bike riding, airplane flying, salesman who longs to own a hot dog cart. I love it. Such amazing backgrounds and stories. A special note is his connection to many others. He was the first person i met who in turn introduced me to Ms. Tattoo, Ms. A, Ms M and Ms. K.
Big C. I come in and ask for my signature bagel in a microwave...i know i know, it's weird...anyways...he goes off into a flurry and will not do it for me. instead he kinda gets grumpy and walks out the door. Good times...good impression already...but i love the first reaction i get from people...tells me a lot about who they are. He ends up sitting with me the next day and asks a series of questions one after another:
your name
your last name
what do you do
where you from
what's the length of your penis
can i have your first born
I was to say the least thrown...but i'll play the game. He ends up venting to me about a recent local that had unfortunately passed and as Big C starts to express himself he then pops his head up asks me what i'm drinking and then offers me a shot of tequila...hahahhaha...I guess i'm in.
So they all end up telling me about local restaurants and local hot spots to go and try. Suppose it's time to try them all out. I also hear along the way about many other locals from Mr. G (i will call him mr. 3rd grade b/c of a crush he's had on a girl from here), Mr/s transvestite, Ms Conrad, and uh..a copule others. Man...i'm gonna learn a lot here.
