there was really too much going on this morning.
there’s a guy i pass almost every day on my way to the subway and last week he kept telling me to smile. i’m not sure what made him notice me last week. i had seen him a number of times and he’d never spoken to me before. on saturday he saw me walking again and asked if he could walk me to the train. i laughed it off and kept it moving.
as i crossed the street i thought i was in the clear, but he ran up to me and started walking with me… all the way to the subway and downstairs. i quickly swiped my card and went thru the turnstile. i guess he thought we could talk thru the bars but i was like i’m going —> this way. see you on monday.
today a man with a jheri curl, leather coat and sun glasses (he was wearing shoes, jeans and a shirt too) walked into the subway station exclaiming the he was the smartest man ever and that he had more degrees than anybody in the world. for some reason i got into the second car when the train came. he did the same and continued his rant about how smart he was and how dare somebody else say something to him when they didn’t even have a ged. at one point he seemed to be addressing a girl who was minding her business on the train. poor thing. she looked so confused. but after briefly pausing her ipod she realized he was mad and ignored him.
