I been having a very reflecting commute to work this morning.  It might been inspired by the music I was listening too.  Sometimes it’s almost like the lyric effect your way of thinking at that very moment.  This morning, I peer up from my book like every morning, to take a quick glance at my [...]

After I departed the Jack Spade sale I noticed that every guy on the train from his late 20s to 30s had a Jack Spade messenger bag on his back. Was that just a concidence. Who knows. Or perhaps it’s the trend of the Young Professionals (YPs) of Park Slope. The universal uniform. Like the [...]

There a few ways to guarantee a seat on the subway. And one way is being homeless person with rotting flesh. I must definitely have a cold, because I couldn’t really detect the rotting stench. This homeless guy got on the train with all his bags, and dumped everything to side before promptly sitting down [...]

I know. You’re wondering what the hell is T.G.I.F.F. Well duh! It’s thank god it’s freaky friday. I had to be somewhat original. Half the company went out to lunch at T.G.I.F Fridays to send off one of beloved co-workers. I think it might have been the biggest turn out for the departure of one [...]

Free at last. Today was first day that trains were running again. Can we say how much this strike has inconvenience all New Yorkers. Over what. Their main point was about a pension for future workers. That’s just insane. What’s more insane is they have the audacity to ask if [...]

Darn, another contraption to try to my life easier. Since I’m vertically challenge I can touch the horizontal bar but I have to tip toe in order to hold onto it.

As I entered the train this morning. There was a hipster aboard. He had 3 seats to himself. He of course was sitting in the middle seat in full hipster gear. He had the trucker Hawaiin cap with some logo, a pin stripe shirt loosely tucked into some slacks with a white sports jacket. Did [...]

I went out and about with my mom today. As we got on the train, this lady was occupying another seat with her bag. She reluctantly moved her bag when she saw my mom and her wet umbrella. How rude. These are the people that really need to get fined on the train. At [...]

It’s been a very busy weekend. And MTA did not help. I didn’t get out of the city past midnight, and got stuck in a train re-routing. Apparently, I had to get off the train to take bus to another station to reach my final destination. Unfortunately this station had no alternative trains. Bah.. Can [...]

So I get on the R train and plop myself next to this college kid and this lady. Let’s just say she takes up half my seat. The 3 seaters are meant for 3 average sized people that 3-1/2. As the train moved I plowed into the college gal. I felt so bad. It wasn’t [...]
