"find me in my mitsubishi, eatin' sushi, bumpin' fugees."

i was sitting in a downtown train with two seats between me and the closest person to my left.  i was listening to fugees and it was connecting with me.  a woman boarded the train and sat in the seat next to me.  i wasn't annoyed by this, because she had a choice and she chose me.  personal victory.  she either liked me better or was less creeped out.  there is no other explanation.  i'm going to add that she was a bigger lady, which wasn't bad at all, but meant she was overlapping onto my seat quite a bit which kind of explains why i wanted to put my head on her shoulder and take 5. she gave off a good vibe which allowed for these thoughts..  

the next stop, a big man boarded and sat to the right of me and the reflection in the window across from us made me smile.  heavy beats in my ears and big bodies to my left and right.  if you don't fight it, the movement of the train will make your head nod and that added to my fun. 

my favorite part of this trip  was coming to the next stop and looking out the window to see a big poster advertising andrea bocelli's new christmas album.  there was this guy leaning against the wall with his back against the poster and laughing at something on his phone.  the funny thing is it looked like bocelli was also looking at what was on the phone and laughing with him.  i got such a kick out of the scene that it made me open mouth smile.  as the train pulled away i kept thinking about that poster and thought: how great is andrea bocelli?  

though physically blind, he can still see what's funny.  he finds the humor in any situation.  

i wouldn't mind having that poster on my wall.



















This reminded me of some cwebb fun we had back in the spring...

he gave fashion tips to mikey:
"now i know you ain't wearing that eddie bauer plaid that you stole from eddie winslow's closet."
dude flinched every time.
cwebb was teaching me how to be clutch in big games, but this is when he stopped mid-lesson and lovingly stared at me, which was confusing.
cwebb caught a big whiff of something coming from ej's direction.

I never knew he was blind. This changes everything. And nothing at all.
