I was running late today and so I had to run part of the way to the train. OMG I am out of shape. Well I got there just in time, but sweating like a pig! It was an uneventful trip. Ugg. Well as I was going up the elevator from the red line this lady and her little boy got on the escalator in front of me. Yes I rode the elevator...so sue me. Well the kid had the toes of his shoes curled up on the escalator step infront of him and all I could think was he is gonna get caught. Well he did. The toe of his left shoe got caught and he went down. The mom just looked down and yelled at him in spanish. The guy next to them just stared. I rushed down and yanked of his vans. He jumped up,was crying & so scared. So today I save a boy from being eaten by the elevator

Metro Rail nonsense

So I am sitting on the blueline and these 3 people get on and sit behind me. The one guy is talking about having a new job. Next thing I know is he is asking "when is our next day off." Seriously, you are that lazy? WOW They are all in training and one of them says he can't wait to hit the floor. He said "I can't get jiggety with $200 a week (I think weekely is what he said). Then the other guys says " Yeah but you know know how to work the over draft {insert N-word}. "Oh ya Brother I know when to charge and it wont hit until the money is there." Then more nonsense talk. Finally the Lady chimes in "I can sell sand to a beach I am so good. Ooo your vibrating on me." The guy next to her phone was vibrating. More talk and then this wonderful phrase "I was giving my babies momma $200 a week..faithfully and shit that was when we only had one kid." Lol.

Next day I meet up with Mr. Personality. NOT. This man was talking on the phone and wow he was annoying. Don't know how the person on the other line stayed on so long. Oh this man thought he was so smooth. Here are a few words of wisdom from him: "If life gives u lemons make lemonade, if life gives u cherries make cherry pie. How many blond jokes are there...one...the rest are true. Two more stops until I get off..don't come back with can I watch that is my line." Then the Elvis impression started. OMG crazy man.

Ewe condom wrappers on the greenline. In walks "Rizzo" from grease wearing stilettos.. Here is her awesome conversation...very loudly I might ad. "I needed pot. what ya I'm gonna drink too. I am going to my baby's daddy's home. Yeah XYZ is gonna pick me up. Oh Hell ya..that $@$!^^# called and said he is near so he is gonna pick me up at the next station." Then as she is getting ready to leave the train she said " I am gonna have to have XYZ drop me off a few blocks before my Baby's daddy's house. I am gonna kick it with him for awhile and the go meet up and {insert sexual act here}. Yes all of this on her cell phone very loudly so that all of the little kids and everyone else on the train could hear her wonderful plans. Are people really that clueless?

Guy pulls his bike in and he is playing his radio. A guy looks up at him and says your not supposed to have music on in here. He said ok I know officer and turns it off. The other guy just stuck his earplugs back in and shut his eyes. God forbid he say anything to the people around us with their ipods blaring through their headset louder then the bike guys radio. I wonder how those people can hear.

Smelly australian kids. Drove 3 people to the other side of the train. Australian science olympians. They competed in the 40th internatioal physcis olympiad in mexico. They talked so high brained I felt very inferior. But hey I have deoderant on. Yes that was mean. Lol There is an older lady on the train who put her cell on mute and can not figure out how to unmute it. Some young black guy that helped her and showed her how use it. She was so cute,but might want to stick to pay phones. It was like the time my dad tried to explain the internet to grandma P. :-D SAW THE AMISH TODAY!

Have you every wished it was no pants day? In NY the have this once a year and the pictures are so funny. But when I say do you wish...i guess maybe I should explain myself. I don't wish it was NO pants day but more like no pants beneath your butt day. Or no pants with a stain in the middle of you butt day. Or even tuck your undies into your pants day cause no one wants to see them day. Sometimes I wish it was 'no _____ day'.

Coming soon: Your feet can take you any where or the commuters guide to making the most out of your metro ride.

The singing 'lady' was back on monday and she looked very sad. She said first I need to explain my new shoes. I have cancer and I am homeless and the Brad and Carl the two paramedics that visit me on willow street gave them to me. How sweet is that! So glad to hear that even though they see homeless everyday and sometimes get treated badly that there are still some unjaded paramedic/emt's out there. Bravo Brad and Carl!

Last weekend we rode the metro from my house to Universal Studios. On the blue line a family of boys got on and started singing for money. Of course they were right next to us and we so loud. Then when we got off the blue line so did they and then like brothers do they start pushing and hitting each other right in front of me. My instinct was to pull them apart but instead I walked around. Then low and behold [what does that mean? ] they ended up right next to us again on the redline. Needless to say we hopped cars the first chance we got. On the way home another guitar player followed us on the train. Uggg. Oh and why do people snap their gum? It is so annoying! Today a big sleepy big guy was breathing on me.
