Surviving LA part I

By Jodie Spartz

I'm having the experience of a lifetime! Sober as hell too. It's mostly because I have this thing about me that likes to make a series of crazy decisions that lead to the most unorthodox situations.  

       Eventually our lives lead to these events...We left Philly as you already know. We hopped in a Zip Car, Toyota 4runner packed with our personal belongings & drove straight  to Indiana, then to Colorado, then Vegas, then California, 2 sunsets later...We switched the transportation to my pink E bike, until it was stolen in Santa Monica along with his black hemi E bike. A friend blessed us with a motor Scooter & a Beach Cruiser. We stayed in Santa Monica at a friend's for 6 months, then the Stuart hotel DTLA, then Mid city at a friend's off Pico and Redondo, next Olympic and Robertson at the Beverly Hills Love hotel it was almost a blessing, then turned out a scandal...that lead us to and stay in a air bnb in the actual city of Beverly Hills across the street from Beverly Hills High School (still dealing with the scandal), from there the Wilshire Orange, next we were in Hollywood on Sunset at the Hollywood Stars inn, then one more stay in DTLA at the rugged Stuart Hotel to our current status...

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

By Jodie Spartz
     My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

By Jodie Spartz
  As the LA housing search continues...      We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available.       The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
