What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?
Well if you look close enough, you’ll find all manner of stuff on the street. I’ve found differing amounts of money from pennies to a hundred dollar bill. I’ve found sunglasses and even some nice rocks for throwing in the water whilst wandering past a river before now.
But the best thing? I’m not too sure… i think i found my sanity once, but i lost again very quickly. I have found some nice coffee shops too.
Lets be honest, if i found a proper stand out f*cking awesome thing on the street, it would be pretty sh*tty to keep it right!? So, this ‘best thing’, for me, is gonna be freedom.
I found it once. It wasn’t mine though! It belonged to a comedy actor some of you may remember, Rodney Dangerfield. I went for a drive when i was about 17/18 and ended up at the north end of Santa Monica beach in a car park. It was early, like 7am ish i guess. I sat myself on the wall overlooking the sand and sea, then a big old roller (as i remember it anyways) rolls up and mr Dangerfield gets out carrying an old style tape deck/radio deal (getoblaster for lack of a better word). He props himself up on the wall next to me and says hi. Obviously i ‘err hi’ and he hands me a cigar, smiles and says ‘yer not gonna make a deal outta this right… i just wanna relax and enjoy the beach while i can’.
His moment of freedom i underdstood. To just enjoy a view and a smoke without a million eyes upon him.
So, i toked quietly on my cigar for a few minutes next to him, then said my good byes and left him to his few peaceful minutes of freedom.
