my headphones broke the other day. and who knows when i will get around to getting a new pair. while this is bad for my solo running and for my attempts to avoid the music coming from the headphones of others it does mean good things for this blog in that i will be listening more attentively to what is going on around me, providing, for sure, more blog and twitter material.
today was a perfect example. i noticed him at lindbergh. big stocky dude standing at the door of the train righ next to me. as the door opened he started yelling to someone on the platform.
“you think you s&^t don’t stank” and the like. loud too. loud i am assuming because he had headphones on himself. i figured he was involved in some form of lover’s quarrel taking place with someone on the platform at lindbergh because he continued to yell about this woman to everyone on the train all the way to buckhead.
and then at buckhead he started yellng at another woman. “you so fine,” “why you ignorin’ me” etc. and i realized he was simply yelling his affection at every attractive (in his mind) woman he saw and then expressing his displeasure to the rest of the train when they ignored him.
on this continued as we rumbled northbound; medical center, dunwoody, sandy springs, north springs. i had a chuckle as i thought to myself “how funny if he gets on the #140.” and sure enough…
he continued his super loud yelling, directing some of it at the driver all the way to the mansell park-and-ride. i personally am going with the wake-and-bake theory. it’s the one that fits occams razor the best.
like i said, all that for $1.75.
