do you ever long for your old commute?

now i know what it must be like to be emo:
i feel a wistfulness in my soul as i stare at the map of rush hour los angeles traffic. i miss her. somehow, that image reawakens a yearning for the struggle, the time when the search was all that mattered. sure i knew that we were wrong for each other and i cursed her out for her shortcomings, especially the way that she treated the other men. somedays i thought that if i could just find the right path, we would be okay. other days i fought with her all the way home.
nowadays, working from home, i only take the car out a couple times a week. a tank of gas lasts at least a month. the podcasts pile up.
sigh.
of course on the other hand, i can walk over to the fridge right now and grab a beer. oh wait… what's that in my hand right now?
On the other hand - I'm sure you'll get tired of the 45 minutes it takes to travel 5 miles (which is my daily commute from Santa Monica to Culver City). Or maybe you'll get tired of it when you sit through 2 hours of traffic to go the same 5 miles because a crane fell on the 405. (I kid you not, that happened last month.) I can go on and on and on…
Either way, LA misses you too.
thanks sam.
for all its imperfections, LA is still my city and i miss it, especially my friends from there.
