I Drove Through Limbo, And It Was In California

SR 198 during daylight hours, presumably
I drove through limbo on my way to my new home in Monterey, California.

And by limbo, I don't mean a construction zone held up by bureaucratic red tape, I mean THE EDGE OF HELL. You know... infinite inky blackness. A dark desolate void.

The stretch of road in question is California State Route 198 (SR 198), between the towns of Coalinga and San Lucas. It's a curvy and sloping drive just North of the Cholame Hills, not far from SR 41/46 where James Dean famously crashed his Porsche 550 Spyder and lost his life on a Fall day in 1955.

 

I found myself on SR 198 at approximately 9PM on a moonless night. At first, I thought nothing of the darkness and the isolation. But after a quarter hour of not seeing a single car and the darkness seemingly swallowing me deeper and deeper with every passing second, I started to freak out a bit. That's when I got my phone out and for the next hour or so, I documented my journey into the heart of darkness.

The following is that document, offered to you unedited and undoctored. Abandon all hope, ye who push play here:

Living In The Material World

Predictably, the Martin Scorsese-helmed George Harrison doc for HBO is great. I stayed up until 4:30am watching it the other night. Harrison did, after all, write my favorite Beatles song.

 

See it.

Hybrid Nightmare


The people responsible for this Toyota Prius commercial are disturbed individuals.

Haven't seen it, but I'm pretty sure The Human Centipede ain't got nothing on this.

ONLY REDEEMING FACTOR: Using The Kinks' "Got To Be Free".

A (Widow's) Peak Into The Future

Ian MacKaye & Henry Rollins, 2010
I'd feel worse about my receding hairline if I didn't know that 20 years from now I'll be able to say that I'm rocking a "MacKaye". I can live with that.
