Default Early mornings in LA

Ok so I was told last night I would have to be at work at 5:30 am. I got up at 5 am for work got ready, then drove here. I think this is the best time to drive cause wow no one was on the road at all and I could drive my nice little 1/4 mile commute to work easily.

Just thought I would share this revelation of the early morning no rush just chill. PLus it was calm it was as if LA was settling in and sayin damn I am worked harder than a french prostitute now I can rest.

Enjoy my boredom and go forth through the day and multiply. Condoms are for the weak, you are only strong if you know exactly when to pull out. STD's are not bad they build character they remind you just what not to do, or rather WHO not to do.

Live, laugh, love............the **** out of you car.

Nice... LOL. Yeah, 2AM-5AM is the best time to drive anywhere - if you're comfortably awake that is (and don't mind drunks/crazies).
