As I was dropping into Hollywood on Cahuenga Blvd. I realized that the truck in front of me was loaded with toilets. I'm talking all sizes and shapes. Some were broken, but all were white. And thankfully they looked clean. I couldn't help but wonder what the man driving the truck would call himself? Commode Commando? Potty Paramour? Toilet Taker?
And where did he get such an abundance of toilets? Home Depot cast off sale?
It got me thinking about how everyday brings new surprises and if you just stop to observe what's going on around you your mind can really concoct some pretty amazing stories. It's inspiration at it's best. And lets face it; sometimes our own imagination is a hundred times more interesting than the actual truth.
This same day of the potty parade brought another interesting sight and POOF! a character was born. Not to long after the truck o'toilets, I came across a woman wearing a bright yellow dress and riding a powder blue Vespa. It was a completely retro color scheme and she pulled it off beautifully. Not only was her Vespa powder blue but her helmet was a perfect match.
I found myself contemplating what her job was, where she would go later that day, and what made her decide on her fashion choice and scooter color?
What I came up with was: By day she is a mild mannered elementary school teacher who leaves work in the afternoons to do performance art at an underground artist studio. Then by night she is a crime fighter who jumps on her flying Vespa and battles evil in an effort to rid the world of violence.
What can I say? I get bored driving to work and with so many fun sights around me the writer brain turns on.
