on the t right now.

I decided to write this while I am sitting on the T. I am currently on the B line so if you sense an angry tone to this post you'll know why. plus this morning I slammed my bedroom door on my finger, it hurt so bad. why do old people feel they have the right to cut in front of people when the train is arriving. it is almost qithout fail that this will happy, I just feel like saying " hey ethel wait your turn like everyone else" and furthermore where are all these retirees going anyway? there must be a matlock or murder she wrote convention in town that I was unaware of. then there are other people who I call " bullrushers" they get on to a full T with a full head of steam hoping for a seat. I love when they walk around looking for a seat like somehow all 37 of us standing somehow missed it, but their eyesight and mental capacity to figure out there is still a seat left must be a lot greater than ours.

I am seeing about a 60-40 ratio of music listeners to book readers currently and one sleeper. I love seeing people wake up on the t. they have no idea where they are or what stop we are at and frantically try and look outside to see if they can tell by looking at what part of comm ave we are on. I fell asleep a few times on the way home from the t and each time the announcement of my stop woke me up. I woke up realized the door was open and just made it each time, never fallen asleep on the way in though. did however get wrapped up in a crossword puzzle and went right by my stop thankfully the one after mine is the last one and it's not a far walk. if I was on the redline that day would have ended up at alewife or something. it's so funny to watch when the t starts and everyone standing loses their balance for a few seconds. it's awkward to bump into people when they are trying to keep their own balance. but there is always one person who must have the worlds shortest memory because after every stop when the T jerks forward again they almost fall everytime.

I think the ratio of music listeners just climbed when 15 bu kids just got on. those people are right that people our age don't seem to read enough. all the people reading seem to be of advanced age. a litle disclaimer I'm doing this on my phone so it is prolly going to be tough to proof read so I'm not going to bother with it.

it is only July 8th (7 months today with kellster) and I'm so wrapped up in NFL/ fantasy it's not even funny it gets earlier and earlier every year for me. having trouble deciding on my keepers. I know there are more important issues going on in the world but I'm shallow what can I say, I would hands down watch a football game over a presidential debate anyday.

one more thing that I don't get I see a few people doing this as we speak. or as I type rather. how can u read a book and listen to headphones at the same time. I tried reading stuff while listening to podcasts and I always seem to focus on the reading material and the stuff comng out of the headphones always seems to be ignored, I see people doing this all the time and it's a little baffeling. do you really need backround music while you read harry potter as a 40 year old??? Between that and twilight a few months ago it seems like all these adults are stealing their pre-teens books from their rooms before they head off for work. currently passing copley at the moment which means only two more stops before I get to work a whole nother day!!! this afternoon is going to suck because of all the red sox T traffic. I love when people wearing red sox stuff get crammed way in the back and when we get to kenmore they start yelling excuse me. I always wanna say "look around see all these people with redsox clothing, they're geting off too don't think you're so special becuase your baby daddy scored two standing room tickets by being employee of the week. just wait tour turn everyone is getting off. (that's what the orgy porn director said). small things like that drive me nuts clearly everone on this t is going to the game and it's usually at 515 so you got plenty of time, no need to make a huge scene just because you were. lever enough to have on your original ortiz jersey you must be a die hard fan. well that's it for now thanks b loggers for taking the ride with me this morning
