1pm On A Sunday Is Way Too Early To Have Thoughts

As I was walking to brunch yesterday, I had a few thoughts/observations. It was way too early for them, but once they come you can't stop them (that's what she said).

1. The shuttle. Everyone knows that the shuttle shows up every 5 minutes, sometimes every 2 minutes. If this is a known fact, why do people feel compelled to run for it? Especially when no one is saying "Get your ass in here! I'm closing the doors!" It was the funniest thing to watch people start running for it just because the person in front of them picked up pace. Which leads me to be even more saddened by society, for this just shows that people are followers, not leaders (maybe the first guy who ran is the leader, but he probably got the idea from someone else. It's a chicken vs. egg situation). What's even more embarrassing is that the train didn't leave for another 5 minutes. I can see the look of people faces that said "I'm such an idiot. Now I'm just sitting on the train not going anywhere. Why didn't I just walk like everyone else?"

2. Times Square. The worst place in the world. Especially if you want to get to your projected destination...as some point during the next decade. It's the land of the 'stop and go'---where you're walking along and suddenly have to screech to a halt or do a fast-thinking left/right pass because the person in front of you wants to take a picture of the cop on a horse or has been conned into getting a caricature of themselves done by an Asian man for $20. It's horrible. Tourists. Bleh!

3. Weathermen/weather women/weather girls. They have NO IDEA what they are talking about. Seriously. We've been waiting for a thunderstorm since last Monday....um, I'm still waiting. I'm pretty sure I can do the job WAY better than they can merely based on the fact that I got an 'A' in my Weather And Climate class. Actually, I just may have heard some thunder (or it's a plane fast approaching the Earth). Either way, a week too late Mr. G.

4. Bad People. Bad things happen more to bad people than to good people. Remember that next time you feel like your world has gone to shit. Then call up a bad person and ask them how it's going. I guarantee you there will be a smile on your face before the conversation has ended. I'm smiling right now as I think of that someone who's going to get what he deserves pretty soon. Maybe I'll give him a call and ask how he's doing....
