I snapped this on the 5 and Sunland...

What the hell is this crap? A freeway off-ramp yard sale?


That vacuum sucks...

This dude struck a pose for me!

He was just chillin' after a long night of loitering...

Cupcake sent us this one...it's fricking hilarious!

Dis Ride Got pimped!

Saturday-7:27 AM- Where is she?

What time does she set up her stand?

She left an umbrella...sorta like a territorial pissing...

Lookie! The little scrub-cats were out and about today....they are being a tad more friendly in hopes of getting turkey leftovers. Cher, I would've given them Rockets, but I figured it might spoil their dinner...

She's still there! According to California Squatter Law, I think this nut-job actually owns the City of Long Beach...



I got brave and sneaked around the backside...I notice water and cleaning products....Nobody likes a messy campground...Perhaps she had company over for the Holiday...(please hum the White Stripes song "My Doorbell" here...)

And lastly...I snapped this abandoned Paycheck on Wheels exiting my office's garage....
Hmmm....Now where did I leave my cart?

I swear as I went past this old VW it asked for some spare change.

Check out that back tire!

Being the tender heart that I am, I left it a treat.

How's this for beachfront property? Its like the fricking KOA Kampground...

Long Beach, CA.


Love how the plastic ground tarp conveys such a sanitary feeling...now I know where I'm spending Thanksgiving...Fire-roasted seagull....yummy...

And panhandling cats? Why, yes...check this out...some organization feed these little guys...and they get to crap where they wanna and soak up the sun...assholes...

This is hilarious...
Stupid Criminal Kid

His mom deserves a medal for humiliating this loser...

Something that keeps me up at night...

Are there any happy moments out there, when someone totally fricking mental says, "Whoah! I am normal again! Whew! That was scary...."


This chic was sleeping on the ground in front of the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood, then was pissed off when they threatened to arrest her....I caught up with her a few blocks later...she was speaking in tongues...I asked her if I could take her picture, and she wouldn't look at me...

Ok, I saw this guy sleeping.
He kinda looked like he had peed his pants.I liked the idea of him waking up and thinking some
angel from Heaven came down with Rockets and Granoola bars.
Although, he could have been dead.

I was so ecstatic after snapping these photos...this is the gnarly money-whore that initially inspired me to create this blog...I see her grubby ass all over downtown LB...but only when I don't have my camera...
Until today....

And I found her while shopping for my other blog ....


Uhh...I don't think they sell crank at Albertsons....

She has dreads, on accident....

has been nominated for an award! I've never won anything in my life. Well, except one time I got a call from Purdy's chocolate saying I'd won a pumpkin...I went to go pick it up all excited about some huge solid chocolate pumpkin I thought I'd won and it turned out to be just an everyday ordinary pumpkin. I was cheesed. Anyway, please go to the site below and vote for our site ok?

My friend Jen sent this to me. This guy is downtown Victoria all the time. She informs me that he is a BUSKER, not a panhandler. I say whatever. He still wants our cash. I snapped a photo of him on Saturday when I was downtown with my parents. He's just setting up for the day. Click to enlarge.
