Toronto
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
Before I start, I forgot to put in one resolution in my list, so I'm putting it here.
My newly added resolution
Two girls are sitting on the bus. One girl is showing off her phone to another.
Girl 1: This phone cost me 4 bills, yo
Me (thinking): 4 bills? Is that 4 dollars? No, those aren't bills. 20 Dollars? 400 Dollars? I think that's it
Girl 2: Yo, you paid 400 times what that phone's worth, yo, cause that phone is worth zero dollars
Me (thinking): You gotta be kidding me. Seriously. You can't be serious.
Girl 1: Isn't it 400 times 1?
Girl 2: It's not 400 times 0? I'm pretty sure 400 times 0 is 400
Me (thinking): Ah hell.
Girl 1 throws random insult at Girl 2's phone as I bang my head on the pole over the sad state of elementary math education in Canada
Girl 2: That's right, my phone is free cause it's priceless, yo! It's pp. Priceless, yo, it's pp, priceless.
Me (thinking): I'm going to tune out of this conversation now before they say something stupid science-related and my brain explodes
Of course, the flipside is that you sometimes end up standing on a crowded bus next to a pissed-off pixie arguing with her boyfriend on the phone, like I was another day. My bus trip was about 20 minutes; she was on the phone with her boyfriend before the bus arrived, was on the phone during the entire trip, and continued to be on the phone as I got off. The gist of her argument? Why her boyfriend couldn't spare two minutes to talk to her.
Aaaaand that's all I can come up with for now. Enjoy! ¶ 10:48 AM

i've always had issues with 'sauga transit...less so with the TTC. but i suppose its because i'm terribly impatient and waiting for 30 minutes to get somewhere in the suburbs just isn't my idea of fun anymore.

SHAME!
And here's my transit story:
I was on a Finch buss standing behind a white guy with a shaved head that looked, or was trying to look, "pimping". In that way where he had a white fur coat, 3 silver/gold/possibly fake rings, and a huge diamond encrusted watch that makes anything tacky look like a painting in the Louvre.
The guy, lets call him pseudo-pimp, is talking on a cell phone to some fella on the other end. I can't make out what's being said with too much clarity, but there are a few words I can catch:
"...ya, I just got out of court... no it wasn't anything... some girl charged me for something... no I didn't do anything... no... no... you wanna meet up... no... alright man I'll see you later..."
Pseudo-pimp hangs up the phone and begins dialling a number, it connects:
"Hey there shorty... it's me [pseudo-pimp]... ... I said it's me [pseudo-pimp]... ya, ya, we met on Saturday... ya... listen do you want to meet up, I'm going to be downtown... ya we can meet up for lunch... come on... come on... let me take you out... come on... oh, I just got out of this thing... oh nothing... come on... just for a quick lunch, you have to have lunch right?... come on... I'm coming from court... oh come on... come on... just for lunch... come on... come on... for lunch... come on... come on..."
The bus arrived at Finch station, so I got up and left.
