WoW!

Wow, this morning on the Metro was so much better this morning. But I did not get my free ride home that they advertised. I got jipped out of my 3.65...But I'll let them have it. Maybe that can help them fix the air conditioning on the cars. I rode home hot 3 days in a row.

More METRO Antics

As I arrived to the Greenbelt Metro Station at 7:30, I was elated that I made it to the Metro early. I walked to the platform to see about 200 people waiting for the train. There was a problem at the West Hyattsville Station. So once the train arrived I waited patiently for the train to stop and the doors to open. As the doors opened, I was pushed by a mob of people to get in the train. I sat in the first seat I saw. I looked around the train, there was not one seat open. As we pulled into College Park, it looked just like Greenbelt. So as we went through the rest of the stops more people filled the train until we stooped at Columbia Heights. At this time, there is a short, chubby lady standing in front of me, and as the people squeezed in the train her face was very displeased.

She says to me " I know these people are not trying to push me, I'm gonna push back in a minute." She proceeded to push back as the doors closing announcement came on. One good shove and a small Asian woman and a tall slim man were pushed off and the doors slammed in their face. We laughed all the way to Gallery Place. I needed that laugh this morning.

Green Chaser

One of my famous observations....I was riding on metro this afternoon and I was pooped. I nodded for a short spell. Thankfully I was unable to get into a deep sleep because I am a light sleeper, but for a quick second, I was extremely tired. I was awaken by one of my friends calling me on my cell. As I said, I'll call you when I get off the train, I paned the view of my fellow train riders. Out of about 30 people on the car with me, 75% of them were either nodding or they were just plain asleep.

Here is the deep thought...WAIT...We were all coming home from work! There were people of all walks of life on the train with me. I was in the company of Nurses, soldiers, construction workers, office workers, senior citizens and students. The only section of folks that I mentioned that were all wake were the two senior citizens that were just leaving home to go and play bingo. Out of all of the previously named folks, a good percentage of people, like me, were in the sleepy trance. What does that say about the society? We are all so focused on chasing the green that folds, we are not getting enough rest. The invention of the television, video games, the large homes we can't afford etc. are all to blame for the lack of sleep and rest in America. This is only my humble opinion. I know that I was up late, watch a made for TV movie staring every one's favorite former DIVA Delta Burke. The movie was horrible but I could not stop watch, now that is mind control!

So I say all that to say, please pray that the TV Producers add a subliminal message that can actually help us, for the better, not to go to the dark side. I wish I could say that I am going to protest TV, but, I am also under control.......Please help us...

Today is Thursday

Hurray for Thursday, my Friday............That is the only wonderful thing about Thursday...I can sleep in on Friday. Except I have a husband who swears that he can not do anything for himself or anyone else for that manner. When we met he had the cleanest house I have ever seen. Now that we have been married, for almost 6 years, he pretends like house-hold cleaning products are the plague. That's a man, conveniently forget all that we know about domestic affairs...

How To Get Annoyed in 15 minutes

Well , this morning was one of those, don't bother me mornings, and after 5 minutes of being on the metro I was so irritated that I could not stand myself. I get on at the first stop of the train. I always sit in the same spot every morning and see the same people. Well today, since I decided to sleep in, I was on a later train, which was not crowed at all. I sat in my usual seat, and was very comfortable. A well dressed, 400lb woman got on and sat next to me. Any other day, when I am on a crowded train, there would not be a problem. But when she sat next to me, my size 20 hips and her unknown largeness began to war on the arm rests of the seats.

Being polite, I waited a stop or two then I got up to stand. It made no sense to me to sit there and have the circulation of my right leg, cut off because I was there first. So she says to me, "Honey, you did not have to get up! I don't stink." Now mind you, I have said nothing to her, I just wanted to stand to let the blood return to the foot that had been starving for oxygen. So I said, " I needed to stand, my foot fell asleep, sorry if you thought I was being rude. " I know a hijab wearing Muslim women is always under a microscope for anything to be negative on Islam, and If she had left the conversation at that, we would have been fine. But it is Wednesday and she must have been mad because she had her own issues... So she says back to me " If I were you, I would be glad that someone wanted to sit next to me and not be afraid that you were going to blow them-up. " At this point, you could have fried your breakfast on my head...I simply said, there is not enough C-4 in the world that could do anything but give you a slight rash." The doors opened and I got off the train and walked into work. See she started it...

I should get on tomorrow at the same time to finish our conversation.....Why do people have to go there. I am black women, why do people always assume that any Muslim is a terrorist. She was the one who terrorized me...

Thanks for the mass hysteria, Mr.. Bush!
