JayB Gets High On...

"I spent all my money. All my fucking money on PAs, microphones etc... My daddy gave me my own room, my own space to learn. When I play music it makes me feel high and all these other mother fuckers aren't doing anything. It's part of who I am." - JayB, 43 Masonic

JayB On Being In A Band

"I'll only play if I find cool people. Some people to jam with. Hardest thing is to play with other people, it's all about respect, okay? Some asshole will always turn his amp the loudest. I dont want to get the fuck out of his way because I don't respect him. We need to enjoy eachother. I dont want people to tell me to shut the fuck up. " JayB, 43 Masonic

JayB Puts On the Moves

"I'm not saying you're different or not good, you should still come say hi... Can I get your phone number?" - JayB, 43 Masonic

JayB doesn't know what "attractive" means

This is a conversation I overheard between JayB and a girl he was on the bus with a lot:


JayB: I walked her home and she asked me if I was available. Do you think that means available now or like single? I just need to bounce this off you because you know, this shit happens...
Friend: Well do u find her attractive?
JayB: uhhmm...
Friend: Inwardly or outwardly attractive?
JayB: I don't know what you mean by attractive. She was cool on the inside...

JayB's Smarts

"I tested out of high school when I was 16. Fuck that shit. I went straight to City College. I felt like I was just helping people cheat and wasting my time." - JayB,43 Masonic

JayB's Life Goals

"All I wanna do is play music...and teach martial arts. I feel in my heart that these things just happen. We all have bodies, we can all figure that shit out." - JayB, 43 Masonic

JayB can drive fast

"There are lots of ways to have fun. It's a big world out there. I can drive fast. " - JayB, 43 Masonic

Wise men learn from JayB

"I was raised to be a good person. I was let to make all my own decisions and think what is right. But look where I am. A fool learns from his own mistakes and a wise man learns from others." - JayB, 43 Masonic

No bars for JayB

"Bars are retarded. Bitches just want you to buy them drinks. You should be buying me a drink. What the fuck is that shit?" -JayB, 43 Masonic

JayB can't get a girl

JayB* is a kid I used to see on muni a lot. Because of that, I overheard a lot of his obnoxious yet sometimes funny conversations and remarks. The next few posts will be all his words. Though what he said always made me cringe and want to scream, it's a bummer he's not on the bus anymore to add some amusement to the ride:

"I used to go to the mall because I lived in New York.  I had one friend. The place was a shit hole. I was dirt poor. We walked on the freeway. We stole dungeons and dragons books because we didn't have shit and we tried to pick up girls but it didn't work because no girls were brave enough to come experience the shadow of darkness with us. " - JayB, 43 Masonic

Fast 5 Emotions

"I saw this movie called..... Uh.... Fast 5. Motherfucker! The action, the drama.... The Rock! Wow...." 43 Masonic, 11am.

Bottoms Up!

"If you're taking shots you need a line of salt or sugar. I'm soo drunk! Let's go, whores!" - Castro Station, 9:30 pm.
