Sometimes You Have To Just Say No...

Today after a long day at school I got on the 43 Masonic and was happy to see a couple empty seats. A young guy approaches the seat next to me and asks if he can sit - I assumed this was because I had my stuff rolling over onto the seat.

The minute he sits down a god awful wave of B.O. hits me.

Ten minutes later I look over at him from gasping for air on my other side and think he has a friend that he is talking to. I soon find out that he is actually singing and talking to himself. Some of the lyrics I caught from him were:

"I'm not gunna wear a woman's wetsuit... I'm a man! Give me a small man's wetsuit."

"It's my birthday and I want to go out with my friends. But no one compliments me! All my friends are out..." - This is accompanied by him acting like a five year old and pouting and stomping.

He sang the chorus every few lines and it went like this:

"I've got hurt feelings. Hurt feelings. I've got hurt feelings." - In a very high pitched voice.

So, moral of the story is that though I now feel for this guy a little because his song does seem a little sad, sometimes you have to just say no to Muni goers asking to sit next to you!

Who Owns South Beach?

"Literally, that little midget owns HALF of South Beach" - Man talking about Gloria Estefan and her husband.

Must Eat Birds!

"Damn birds.... Acknowledge me!! Acknowledge me you damn birds.... So I can eat you!!" - Homeless & crazy man at Union Square.

Public Restrooms On Market & Church

I'd call it a normal night when you're waiting for the J at Church and Market and a crazy woman begins to pull down her pants.... And you hope it's just to adjust but in fact, yes, she is bending over to pee. And she is not just peeing but yelling some mumbled phrases that you could only comprehend if you got close and I did not think that was worth it even for this blog...
