Just another day...

I dont usually have to write about my morning bus as it doesnt originate downtown or in the free ride area, but there were a couple of interesting characters on it the morning.  They definitely seemed like the odd couple so hopefully I can do them justice!

Guy 1

  • 5' tall
  • shaved head
  • missing the four front teeth
  • tattoo of a tear drop on his face
  • wearing 'jeans' that had elastic around the ankles - I have no words for this
Guy 2
  • average height
  • shaved head
  • glasses
  • had that nerdy glow about him
  • dressed like a bus boy
  • tattoos on his knuckles - this is just doesnt fit with the rest of this guy
So these two are sitting there and were talking about the best ways to punch people complete with giving demonstrations on their hands...needless to say, I learned a lot!  This seemed really strange coming from a nerd and a guy whose feet didnt even touch the floor of the bus!!  They also both had that 'white boy trying to be a gansta' speak about them.  The 2 guys in suits sitting on either side of them just kept rolling their eyes...at least I am not alone with my judgy opinions:)

This afternoon's bus ride was much milder.  I got one of those annoying bus drivers who actually really likes his job and greeted everyone with, "Welcome aboard!"...too much.  Lets not sugar coat it dude...no one is excited to be on here and you saying that doenst make it better, it makes it worse!  Lets call a spade a spade...the bus blows.  

There was this lady sitting across from me who looked fairly normal, but maybe had a rough day.  I was watching her and she was staring out the window and then her eyes closed for 2 seconds.  She then woke up violently and had a surprised/deer in headlights look.  Listen lady, 2 seconds isnt long enough to be shocked at where you are when you wake up. ..lets keep the acting to a minimum. 

Oh the joys...

And I am back!

Well hello friends and followers!  I am back from my crazy weeks of traveling which means I will be back to blogging (which I am sure is what you are the most concerned with).

While I was in NY for a week, I spent about 3 days in NYC and let me tell you...NYC ain't got nothing on Seattle in the way of crazies!!  I even rode the subway and found nothing that was as entertaining as the bus ride in downtown Seattle.  I have mixed feelings about this.  Isnt NYC supposed to be the mecca for the crazies?!  Is Seattle the new NYC?!  I mean, I am going to have to stew on this...

So the weather was actually nice in Seattle today so I had the pleasure of walking home in the semi-warm sunlight.  As I was walking, everything seemed to be normal downtown (of course normal is a relative term for downtown).  As I am walking past a typical hippie-hipster coffee shop, there is a 'gentleman' sitting outside.  I walk past and the guy goes, "No socks...humph".  I am sorry...what dude?!  Did you just scoff at my outfit?!  Clearly you dont know who you are dealing with here.  I am in ankle pants and flats, it would be inappropriate to wear socks.  Plus, if there is 10 years worth of dirt on your clothes, you are not allowed to have an opinion on fashion.  Almost ruined the beautiful day...almost

Such a cluster...

So I know I have been a little MIA on this and I do apologize.  I was in Denver for work.  I will give everyone a heads up too...I will be out all next week on vacation in New York  I better make this a good one!!

So as I am walking to the bus stop, I look over and a woman with a walker stops in the middle of the street to bend over and pick up 2 pebbles.  Really?!  I have concerns as I feel that this lady is one of the fakers who like to use their walker/wheelchair out of pure laziness.  Also, she might not be all there upstairs (who am I kidding, unless you are in a suit or a tourist, you are probably a little off your rocker downtown) as she is wearing the rainbow which includes elastic bottom sweats which have to be at least 15 years old, props lady!  Why does she need pebbles?!  I could understand if she was leaning over to pick up change, but rocks...lets get real sister, you arent composing some abstract piece of art in your home or adding them to your zen garden.  Whatevs, 1 person's trash...

As I get on the bus, I feel it is more disgusting then ever!  People are coughing and collectively this group may have 1 shower between them all.  It seems worse than usual.  We go one stop and another Motley Crue gets on (and not the one with Tommy Lee), which includes another fake wheelchair/walker lady PLUS a lady in a motorized wheelchair.  The lady in the motorized wheelchair is also a faker as I have seen her walk on the bus before.  How do I know this you may be asking yourself?  Well its cause she has eyes that go in 2 different directions, a lisp, and doesnt own a brush.  If you know me, you know those are things I cant forget!  I am not sure what is Seattle's deal with the laziness, but it is concerning.  I think they are using these things to get sympathy and a better seat on the bus...I will be amending my rules soon I am sure.

Googley-Eyes then starts up a conversation with a lady who, I am pretty sure, just hacked up her lung...like I said, extra disgusting bus ride!  They then start talking about counterfeit cigars...wtf?!  You have got to be kidding me.  They start going on about how they taste the same, have the same labels, and same numbers, etc.  Did I miss a step?!  I know about the fake purses, DVDs, and jeans, but cigars?!  Can that even be done?!  And really ladies, we need to be concerning ourselves with fake cigars?  Pretty sure a brush and some Robitussin would be a lot more beneficial to you at this moment in your lives.  Priorities ladies!
