Humans have it so hard

I'm coming to think more and more that the city is not a place for me. There is too much, too to much to deal with and see, and put up with and a bunch of other nonsence. Granted I come from a place of not a whole lot of differences. Everyone pretty much went to the same school, had a similar backround, worked jobs of similar pay, parents went to similar highschools, we all shared the same doctors, same churches, same teachers, similar thoughts and were phased by the same day to day issues. When someone needs help, we all got together and were excited to help someone with a smile. If someone did something special and unique, we all got together to celebrate! Someone has died, we all felt sorrow, and so forth and so on. In the city, things are no longer like that, everyone one tells a different story, everyone is in it for themselfs, they show off, and they beg. Some are ignorant and outspoken, and almost all seem to tell a lie.

I started my day going that way

Ask my to tell you a story, take a seat and I shall tell you a tale.
I go about my day looking for that tale, and other days, and more so this than not, that story comes to find me. I like that. I like that a lot.

Pieces of me say I should do something with this bit of enjoyment...

Spinning Circles

Glad to be back on the bicycle again!! That and the warm weather most certinly add perk to my days. Yesterday I managed to need to go across Boston, in shirt and tie, in the down pouring rain, with rain pants and a nice jacket, that was the least bit of a problem, got there and manged to stay completely dry, yay me!

My only complaint for the whole healh insurance thing that bugs me right now, is the new tax they are putting on it.. here is how it goes...

So I have X insurance from Home Depot. The policy covers me for $8,000.00. My parents have health insurance for the family that covers them for about $2,000. Obama taxes me on that amount, How much the insurace is worth, my private, I can afford it, I work for it, I pay for it out of my pay check, by 44% and that amout goes to the goverments health insuracnce,... so that means at the end of the year I have to pay $3520.00, and my parents pay $880, to pay for Other Peoples Healh Insurance,.... So then for me, why would I want to support myself by giving myself a higher insurance plan,... thank god I don't want to give the best I can to the family that I don't have.....

Public Transportation

Public Transportation, Like it? Sometimes, Hate it? Sometimes....

This Morning, I like to tend to grab a coffee from Dunkin Donuts in the morning prior to heading to class. Luckily for me where I exit my apartment, is in the middle of two bus stops, and at the mid point, is a friendly Dunkin Donuts. Unfortunately, as I poped out this morning there was a bus already at stop 1, leaving me enough time to get to stop #2. Granted I have a full load to carry today, backpack loaded, and my doctors bag, so I am not that fast. None the less I catch the bus, with being .10 cents short (my Monthly pass for some reason did not go through yet, ..hmm..) I now have to add $$$ to my card as I do not want another .50 cent vocher to take to DTCrossing to get my two quaters.
Lesson to belearned: Aproch a mobile termanal (bus, trolley, Push the WHITE BUTTON in the upper right corner, tap your pass, insert amount of money you want to add, push WHITE BUTTON again, and then TAP pass. You have now added funds to your CharlieCard on a bus or trolley. Now you can tap again to pay for your trip.
So I did just that.

The bus was quite full this morning, people kept getting on, and no one got off. I am practially sitting on the dashboard of the bus, we approch Coolidge Corner where as mass of people are standing, waiting to get on... and they will try, try to hard they well... As we aproch, I decided to open my mouth "I think we're gona need a bigger bus"
Bus driver replies, "nice! Jaws"... and floors it past the stop, haha! (side note, no one pushed the stop request button, so no one could argue that they wanted to get off there)
So that was a pleasant relief, But the next stop came across, someone wanted to get off, and there was someone there to get on. So we made the exchange. Two people get on, two of my "favorite characters"
The first one a young girl, around my age, a little older, dressed up for work. Dress, show-y leggings, heals that made her awkwardly tall (and quite unstable to add to my humor) red jacket (burbury, ughhh show-off), and YELLING one HER CELL PHONE! High Pitch, High Speed, High Volume= alot of pissed morning commuters, none the less, she was to ignorant and self absorbed, she didn't notice the vibe of hated aimed in her direction.
My second character, how can I say this politely and in a manner that is politicially correct,... the one that must sit down between between two stops, in an overly crowded bus, because she is entitled to. Ontop of that, she reminded eevveerryyoonnee oonn tthhee bbuuss ttoo cchhaannggee tthheeiirr cclloocckkss aass iitt iiss ttiimmee ttoo sspprriinngg aahheeaadd. wow

I got off at the next stop, to go to physics. Its always an event to go from point A to point B. :-) I like it though, always a story to tell...

Dinner for One

It never really botherd me to do dinner alone, even the movies I find enjoyable going alone. Currently in a little fancyish sandwich soup shop, one of those ones people flock to for the Wi-fi, and organic Tea, not going to lie,.. I am enjoying both right now. I think it is nice, and good to do for ones self, to treat ones self, in the company of justs ones self. We all need the thinking time, I know I do. I enjoy those moments, as much as I love my friends and persons I hold closely to me. Chris time is needed two, and why not in style! Its been a long week, or you have a lot ahead, splurge,  you earned it. Go ahead and do dessert! bathe in good acoustic music! Breath in smells of good wholesome fresh food. Surround yourself in the conversation of other peoples good times and success, and join in your head. Dress up, dress down :-)

Always smile, People like to see that  :-)
