WTF Bus #13

Okay I know I rant about the people I encounter on the bus a LOT but today's going to be a bit different. This is about the bus system itself. I love that there's a system of public transportation and that we can reduce our carbon footprint or whatever, but after waiting 20 minutes for a bus, you kinda think you're own ability to walk might be faster.

Who Wants To Be Nice?

I'm the middle child in my family. Everyone knows that the middle child is usually the most ignored. I have an older brother who's a genius at writing and a younger sister who's a musical prodigy. I got the art thing going on but that's the quietest one out of the three. For some reason, as artistic as we all are, we're somehow extremely violent.

Red Pill vs. Blue Pill

A big visual from the first Matrix movie is when Neo is presented with two options from Morpheus, to either take the blue pill or the red pill. The blue pill is a sign of safety, to retreat back to the "reality" that Neo was already used to. He would forget everything that had happened to him before and wake up in his bed, repeat the same ol' same ol'. If he takes the red pill, he would see a new reality, that was the actual truth, and he would see "how far down the rabbit hole goes". It's one of my favoritest and quickest decisions ever made. I kinda feel like he should've spent a little bit more time thinking over his options.

WTF Bus #12

I don't know what it is with summertime. Summer always brings out the worse in people. For some reason people just lose their minds and get worked up over the smallest things. Or they decide to do dumb, dumb dumb things...

Be A Lady With Some Balls

Since when does being a lady mean you have to be a pussy?

Call Me Maybe, Violets Are Blue...

At this point, NO ONE CAN ESCAPE THAT DAMN SONG! "Call Me Maybe" is so damn addictive and catchy, that everyone keeps singing it. Even if you don't LIKE that genre, it'll come up somehow, even with the Harvard Baseball Team.

Get Paid Doing What You Love

I know this title is like every other self help books but I'm too lazy for something that lengthy so I'll just summarize this within 1 blogpost. My family and friends are all is freakishly talented, and now we're all at the point as young adults where we can cash in on this... Kind of.

WTF Bus #11

I don't think I can ever listen to white people on the bus ever again. Today I was on the subway (still counts as public transportation) and I've come to the conclusion that I can't listen to white people that meet other white people in public.

My "Rule of Thumb"

Back in the day, people would use "rule of thumb" to measure distances since the your thumb is approximately the size of an inch. Not really an exact measurement but it worked for back in the day, which also explains why my house bathroom door handle is like a foot lower than normal. However, as the years went on, this common phrase became a bit twisted and came to mean a few other things...

Apocalypse... Now?

I know there's a lot of scary stuff out in the world right now. World hunger, fatal diseases, female drivers, etc... But lately, things seem to be getting out of control, which is why it's important to relax and take a break... But without bathsalts.

Stop Being Fucking Bored

I don't care what you say, boredom is a choice. You can always choose to not do anything and become bored. You can choose to do the same activities that have lost your interest, and become bored. You could be doing something you thought you'd love doing, and end up bored. That's understandable. What's not understandable is why you'd settle for only doing just that.

Your Body Needs Water, So Drink That Sh!t

**DISCLAIMER** I am not a doctor, but I still say everyone needs to fucking drink water. I'm not even close to a health nut but I know how important it is to drink water. It's magic in a simple chemical equation of a few hydrogen atoms mixed with an oxygen atom and BAM! It does everything.

Steal My Thunder, Rape My Lightening

Alright now before you think that I'm making some kind of statement about "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", you're wrong. This is more so about the importance of learning (personally) when to shut the fuck up.

Everyone wants to be heard and share their stories. It what makes people seem interesting to everyone else, and people like to feel that their words matter. The thing that almost everyone forgets is that EVERYONE wants to feel important; you're not the only one who wants to have this feeling. We currently live in a state of mind where children are no longer only "best seen, not heard"; where women can receive an equal education to voice their opinions; where people of every race under the techno-colored rainbow can express basic human rights. With this much freedom to spread out voices, we kind of forget that other people want to do the same thing.

WTF Bus #10

You ever meet someone who complained all the time? Even if there was nothing to complain about, they just keep going off about anything that comes up in conversation? Yeah, I spent a good 5 minutes stuck with that guy on the bus.

I'm sitting on the bus, everything's calm and not a big deal, overall pleasant. And then the bus makes it to its first major stop, picking up a lot of people. An older white guy sits down first, and begins to mumble to himself. A few moments later, a middle aged woman sits down next to him and immediately shouts out "UGH, THIS BUS SMELLS LIKE FISH!"
