Tiiiin roof! RUSTED!
And just when you have absolutely given up on New York, a dude (seems a little rough around the edges, but not homeless) gets on the train and sings most of Love Shack- complete with the "I can't hear you!"s.
BANG BANNNNNG!
A few minutes later, I say "man, now you got that stuck in my head!"
him: "My friend's doorknob was messed up and I was locked in his bathroom alone for an hour and ten minutes! I just kept singing I got me a Chrysler, it's as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail!"

Alex Horwood: update
Gerard Butler is the James Franco of Colin Farrells...
Bradley Cooper looks like a guy who's playing a "famous actor" in a made-for-TV movie...
Yeah i was late for work because i was trying to rewrite Eminem’s Lose Yourself to be about petting a cat...also i was petting my cat.
If Brad Pitt never used "This will be your last Pitt stop" as a pickup line, then seriously what's the fucking point of anything?...
If you guys ever think our society has a lack of ideas, just type Zombie into Kickstarter...and that will undoubtedly prove it to you...
All pants are tear-away pants... if you're really strong and really hate pants.
Both my grandfathers fought in a World War...Their grandson is currently aggravated he can't log into his fantasy football league... How have you thrown in the towel today?
Listen asshole, I'm not even interested in walking a mile in my own shoes
There's always tomorrow... Except once.

The Flash Mob Mustache Bomber
David yaf: Every flash mob should be flash mob bombed like this guy did. Or better yet, every flash mob should just be bombed.
What am I paying taxes for Obama? Stop bombing the middle east and get rid of the true threat right here in our own malls and public gathering areas.

Woman 1: He paid on his insurance through his check for a year and never went. I'm like you're over 30! Just go to the doctor. See about your prostate and all that, it's not a joke.
Woman 2: You got a man that take his self to the doctor, you hold on.

Donna cracks me up.
I'm staring off into space sort of in her direction. Because she's short, she gets creeped and says, wide- eyed: "Whatchyou lurkin' at!?"
A new girl I keep hearing is really nice works with us and I finally get to meet her. She leaves for lunch and Donna says "See what I mean? So sweet... you could learn a thing or two from her."
me: "I'm sweet as pie, ya bitch!"
We laugh.
Best manager ever.

Adam Hutton's facebook posts are gold.
Anyone want to go ambush/terrify/traumatize "ghost hunters" in a spooky abandoned building?
I baited the trap with a pretty rad satanic altar and pigs blood a few months ago, so hopefully word has spread within the area youth.

Is this real life?
"You're such a Miranda! Like Miranda with an edge." Cherry said to me, his eyes glittering with serotonin. His much drunker friend with braces and Mickey Mouse ears announced "I have to pee!".
Mickey commenced to sit down on the sidewalk in front of the furniture store on 14th, pulled his pants halfway down, knees bent, and urinated down the sidewalk towards passers- by. As he peed, he chatted with a friend on his cell phone, laughing at his situation. After that, he declared "I'm fucked up! I have a test at 8am! Let's go to Webster Hall!"

Facebook posts are not conversations...
but someone should be logging the brilliance of the people on my feed.
"What's a good hot sauce to mask the bitter taste of contempt and regret from day to day life? Sometimes when I eat all I taste is my eventual mortality and the overpowering uselessness of this mortal shell we call our own." - Rory Donahoe
Alex Horwood is brilliant.
Two men married? That's LUDICROUS!...and then a talking snake convinced a lady to eat fruit and that's why we feel shame.

Girl talk
Two girls in line behind me at the coffee shop on Jane
"Auughh, I'm still so mad!"
"Oh, get over it already. Why don't you just talk to him?"
"Because... I'm a vagiiinaaaa..."
- best part is the upstate NY accent.
Flattery?
Heading down into the 14th st train station after a long day, two scraggly homeless-hippie types standing near the entrance. With a rough British accent, one of the be-dreaded calls out to my back:
"Ma'am! MA'AM! Get back here, Big Lebowski! I loved you in Big Lebowski..."
is he referencing Maude? I'm kind of flattered and annoyed simultaneously.

Litte boy to his sister: "Kiara, next time call my dad to take you home from school."

New Lost
Most nights the 3 train takes you to New Lots Avenue. This Sunday evening, the 3 train decided to try on a new hat and take folks to Flatbush Avenue instead, leaving those who live at New Lots taking a shuttle bus at Franklin. The announcement was made by the conductor, as well as splashed about the station on signs with alternate suggestions.
Somebody forgot to translate those instructions into every single language spoken by those who live at New Lots.
A tired looking Southwest- Asian man gets the attention of the women sitting next to me, just as the train splits off and starts going down the new way: "New Lost!?"
"It normally goes to New Lots but it's not tonight."
"New Lots?"
"Yes, the 3 train usually goes to New Lots but because of construction you have to take the bus at Franklin instead."
He points desperately at the piece of paper in his hand.
I direct his attention to a sign behind his head with the instructions on it, hoping his read English is better than what he hears. He studies it with a furrowed brow, dramatically flapping his piece of paper. He looks again at the women sitting next to me:
"New Lost!"
They convince him to take the train going back to Franklin, a massive Jamaican woman shaking her head as he dashes out. "I don't think he gets it."

"What's up with the Jonas Brothers!?"

Late night poetry

Donna (to Jasmine): Oh, you're definitely a bitch. A total bitch! But in a good way. You've got backbone. But you need to quit wasting your time thinking about these guys, they're a waste of your time. Not one of them is even good enough for you. Relax, give it time! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Tay: there are a few people in this world, just a handful
that, if someone has a problem with them or doesn't like them
there's something wrong with that person.
David is one of them. If someone doesn't like David, you need to stay away from that someone because they're clearly fucked in the head somehow.

Bearded young white guy (not that common a sight in our neighborhood) walking alongside me and Emily last night: "What are you two up to tonight?"
We respond in a friendly but not-too-friendly way. "Oh, going home to drink some margaritas!"
He mutters: "You guys wanna hook up?"...
I laugh: "you're joking, right?" - I turn to look him in the face and he gets a sort of irritated, flustered look on his face.
"What do you think?"
I am at a loss for words for a moment. ME.
"I mean... I gotta respect you for trying, but I think the time and place are a little off. Godspeed, my friend!"
We hustle off and he stops following us.
