Crazy People

So I was coming home this evening , the trains were packed as usual ...... everyone was in a rush to get home. I was busy playing solitaire on my phone, not paying attention to what was going on around me. All of a sudden I hear some really loud banging noises coming from the end of the car. This definitely caught my attention, so I started to look around... who or what do I see, this guy talking to himself and banging on the seat next to him. He was wearing a sheerling vest with no shirt under it, and looked a bit scruffy. At first I couldn't make out what he was saying, he started to yell louder and louder ,"Sheepshead Bay no Jews, no Blacks, no gays." I have lived in Brooklyn almost all of my life and never have I heard or experienced anything remotely pertaining to this type of discrimination. I have always thought of Brooklyn as sort of the United Nations of all the boroughs. Anyways thank god my stop was next because he seemed to be getting more angrier and angrier.

Too Funny

Don't you hate it when people push you out of the way in order to get a seat .... well thats exactly what I saw today .... The train was really packed and one of the passengers had gotten up to exit the train. This woman pushed another woman out of the way with her grocery bag in order to get the seat. The woman that was pushed started to curse and mutter things under her breath ..... it was hilarious. The other woman pretended like the other woman didn't exist. The funny thing was that half the train got out on the next stop ... seriously is a seat worth all that?

Unbelievable!

What do you do when a pregnant woman gets on the train? ... you get up and you give her the seat right...... I mean thats what I do all the time no matter how crowded the train may be ..... Today not a person got up for this woman. Her stomach was totally visible and any one could see that this woman is clearly pregnant. I just dont understand how some people can be so inconsiderate.

Go Yankees!




Friday was insane never have I seen so many New Yorkers come together for the greatest baseball team in history. The trains were flooded. I met a very friendly family that was able to get some incredible pictures of the players up close. They offered to email it to me and I was so greatful for that. On the way home, my friends and I being a slightly bit intoxicated started making friends with random strangers. They were all so nice to us at least thats what I thought, remember were were under the influence. A really nice Guyanese woman allowed us to take a picture with her. She spoke about the area she was from, I believe it was George Town. My brother decided to try and hang up side down from the train railings, sadly he was left with a slight concussion .... lesson learned.
