WOW what a week

This week we mourn the death of Ed McMahon. I found out on the metro in the morning while I was reading my email. On the way home I listened to a few Culenary students talk about their classes. Today was wine class day. They said they were pretty buzzed. HAHA Then they sat around with other metro rides and talked about different foods and their origins. Why do people think that the stairs are a place to sit? Today there was also a Guy blowing nose next to me. Then gets us to leave and leaves behind all his snot rags. How gross is that? That is even more gross than the lady cutting her toenails.

On Tuesday I was watching two Deaf guys have a conversation. It was so animated. the were talking so fast. Almost as fast as my family speaks spanish. HAHA Then ther was a Guy freaked out on metro. He wants a train to go north. He has no idea where he is going. Seemed a bit off. He jumped off the subway and ran upstairs to the amtrak trains and then tried to get a ticket to santa barbara for like 5 bucks.

Wednesday: the metro door closes and some drunk tourist runs and trys to open the doors as we drive away. keeps pushing the button as he is running along. Um we are not stopping

Thursday: Wow Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both in one day..so crazy!

Oh did I tell you that last week there were laker fans galore. They were taking all the seats. It was like a sea of yellow and purple.

Why do people stand right in front of the train doors before they open? Don't they realize that people have to get off? I like to just stand there in the doorway so they can't get on until they move out of my way.

Why is it that men with all that nasty chest hair wear their shirts unbuttoned all the way, but men with awesome chests usually button up?

If u owned a pair of jeans that were ripped on both side in the thigh would you wear them and call it stylish?

There is a lady on the metro cutting her toenails. Ewe!

I have just seen a guy with a comb forward, come over and comb over wave.

NEW - Last month

This happened last month-I guess I forgot to hit publish.

A disheveled lady just got on the train with two black garbage bags full of stuff. she was banging all the chairs as she walked by then her bag started vibrating...I thought it was her cell. She looked like she had one hell of a day. Then get this it was not her cell phone...it was her VIBRATORS! Seriously! She was like ooops my vibrators are going off, dont want anyone to know i do that. ok then she is starting to scare me. she just jumped up and is staring at me then was video taping me - CRAZY. Maybe I am being punked! Then she just moved. Here she comes again

I saw this young couple meet and get drunk together on the train. The girl rubbed her beer bottle with her lime and then lined it with salt. That way she can keep licking the bottle neck before she drinks...now that is not suggestive at ALL!

I am sorry for not writing in a long time. The train has been quiet . Well yesterday was definitely a crazy one. This being my last official week on the amtrak...of course it had to go out with a bang. The AM train was a hour and half late. But I was not about to drive as I had did that on Wednesday and swear never to do that again. People who do that are crazy. Needless to say I stood there and talked to Roy the whole time. Roy and I became friends from the beginning of this journey. He told me that it was very great to meet me and he wished me well. I told him maybe i'd see him getting off in Irvine sometimes as I was getting on if I stayed there that night. Good news is that the train had a sleepy car because God know Wednesday was a very long day.

My last day on amtrak was pretty uneventful. Sadly there was no sleepy car. I found a seat and went to sleep. Then around Irvine a very loud dude got on the train. He was one of those people that their laugh and voice carry long distance and loudly. The next station a pretty nice looking guy sat next to me. We just slept. That night I left work to get on the 510 train and when I got there the train was delayed an hour and half. Well I made the best of it and worked at the bar in the train station. Well got to go out with a bang!

Metro stories to follow. Really will try to write more often.
