Going in a Different Direction

I have recently decided to take this blog in a different direction.  What is the reason you ask?  I know that all my followers (my family that reads this) will want to know. In fact I just know that is the question on everyone's mind these days.  Previously this blog was "Adventures in Apartment Life" and i got bored.  When I get bored I change things up and frankly the things that happen during my day are much more food for thought while sitting, parked on the 405 during my daily commute.  So welcome to the new stories of  "Parked on the Freeway."
My most recent thoughts:
*There are too many people in this sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles
*I know this by deductive reasoning.  It takes an hour to get to and from work. I work 12 miles from my home.  If I drive this same drive at 10pm at night, it takes me 20 to 25 minutes depending on my speed.
*The 405 is a breeding ground for anger and contempt.  I have to listen to soothing music so as to not let my mood match that of other drivers.
*The 405 is also a creator of wrinkles and back issues.  Sometimes I catch myself with my face scrunched up into some unrecognizable faces and my hands gripping the steering wheel watching people act crazy. Stress tends to build up in my back so I feel like I have eternally tight shoulders.  I turned my head the wrong way the other day and had a neck spasm that literally paralyzed me for a few seconds.  People say I should get this looked at...eh.
Nothing out of the ordinary right now, although I'm sure I'll have some interesting stories to post later. Although I did see a guy driving with a parrot on his shoulder. My thought: "Eww gross what if he poops!"
