Were speakerphones invented so that we all can hear every word in conversations? So that "reporters" like me never have to guess what is being said on the other line. Kind of makes things boring, I like making up what is being said on the other side. My stories are usually more interesting. Also why don't people turn their cell phones on vibrate instead of the loudest ringer possible.
The man down the way keeps saying kill two birds with one stone. I wonder who came up with that saying. It is just so morbid. I mean did someone one day throw a stone at a couple of birds and someone else say "wow you knocked out two things at once. Cool I wish I could get things done two at a time, like killing two birds with one stone." the apple is back! Gross.
It is a bit chilly this morning waiting for the train. John, Roy and I were hanging out talking about credit cards. We were discussing how th apr's are fluxuating and how it use to in the past years ago that if you missed a payment your card was shut down and you could not get another one until it was paid off and you cleared your credit. What happened to those days? I am just saying people would be more responsible with there money if that was how things still were. The credit companies and banks would not need bailing out if they were not just handing credit cards out like candy. I'm guilty of credit card abuse and would really have loved the lesson from the past, I would not be in the debt I am in now. I think that many people don't know care.

4/20/09 - updated from this morning

Well today I felt like I was running late but really wasn't. Thing is I slept horribly last night it was too hot that I tossed and turned all night. I'm more tired today than usual. I got to that station right on time and the train is announced to be 30 mins late. Oh fun. Oh well what to you do? I am sure as heck not driving. So I sat down and enjoyed my book, my coffee and the very loud man next to me's conversation. Hello! Speakerphone is not needed on the train platform. We don't care about your conversation especially since it was in another language. I mean if you are gonna use speakerphone at least speak English so we can all enjoy the conversation. P.s. My ipod is dead...no music to sleep to. Boo hoo.

Well it is 6pm on April 20th and here in sunny California it is still about 80 degrees outside. As I sit here in my big cushioned, very well air conditioned lazy boy chair in my mobile home I like to call Amtrak, I have to admit I am a tab bit jealous of all the people who are out on the beach right now as we are passing by. I have always found myself lucky to be able to see the sunrise and sunset daily over the mountains and down through the ocean. Today is no different. However, today there are hundreds of people on the beach. Families, friends, surfers, volleyball players, sand castle builders, sea shell hunters and of course the hot lifeguards keeping everyone safe. What a precious (some what spoiled) life we have here in Cali. There are small waves crashing on the sandy shore. There are children running, laughing, playing in the sand, swinging and just enjoying life. We can learn a lot from children...some times we all forget to just let go and give our worries up to God or who ever/whatever you may believe in. Kids don't worry, they just keep going. As the sun sets over Oceanside a family of Dolphins are swimming and jumping past me. What a beautiful and amazing world we have. I thank God every day for the amazing things I have in my life...especially all of you - my friend and family.

Did not sleep much today but go little cat naps. Well we just left fabulous Fullerton and I decided I should probably get up. Well actually the people behind me on family vacation decided I should get up. Yak yak yak. Then it happened after weeks of winning...my nemesis won! Nooo Oh remember the girl from october or november who asked me about prop 8 and we had a great talk then she'd never sit by me again? You don't! Whatever. Lol Her name is Whitney. Well she and I had a great convo on the way to the subway. She told me that last week she saw two ladies fighting on the subway. This morning I saw a man in suit running up elevator in his socks. Guessing late for court? He must be the key witness in a robbery. Lol get it? You will...wait for it...wait

I almost dropped my phone into the toilet on the train and then I started to pee before I locked the door! Wow that would have been awesome if someone walked in. NOT. But hey when you have to go you have to go.

one liners...you'll ponder at

The following happened to me in the last week:

Last week I say the blind literally leading the Blind

What you ever seen a grow man with tourette's, I just did. Well I am not sure, he might just be crazy and cussing for at the voices in his head.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one freezing on the train

So would you rather be Protestant and drink stinking grape juice or Catholic and get to drink Wine?

Do they call those little glasses we use for communion shot glasses?

Why would someone ride all the way from LA to SD with their nose smashed onto the window?

Do couple who fight in front of other people on metro think we are interested in their lives or am I famous and they know I write a blog and they want to be in it?

Do you think the singing solicitor (refer to prior posts) is really a starving artist, crazy lady or someone who just really likes christmas songs?

Do you think the older man that sits next to me a lot on the train knows he does it or I just happen to sit in his chair a lot?

Do you think a man with a scrunchy (circa the 80's)around his wrist is wishing he had more hair to wear it in or just thinks he is stylish?

Do you think that a just because a man can pee any where he wants that it is ok to walk to a corner of the station and piss is appropriate?

I can now update my blog from my cell phone...160 characters at a time. That should lead to come good post. LOL
