Some random life musings, per usual...

I'm fascinated by rudeness. Just fascinated. So I'm waiting for my usual earlyass train yesterday morning, when I see some woman mosey up to wait with the rest of the herd. She's drinking coffee out of one of those sad, too-small, environmentally-hateful styrofoam cups with the plastic tops. And right there, in front of everyone, she just drops the plastic mouth-cutout from the lid on the ground. Mind you, there is a garbage can not TWO FEET AWAY. And this lazy piece of shit just litters. I'm no tree-hugging environmentalist, but damn, woman, pick up your trash! Who raises people like this?...

I think I parked my car in the South Shore parking lot today next to a guy I used to have a big crush on in high school. He graduated my sister's year, ran track, married some sweet but plain girl a few years ago. Never really knew him. Train pulls into the city, and so there he is walking out of the same Van Buren Street stop I use. Hmm, I think, let's see where he goes. West on Van Buren we go, me following behind and across the street from him. I walk-stalk him all the way down to my parents' office across from the Board of Trade and wouldn't you know it, he walks into the Krispy Kreme of our building. Is it possible this kid works, maybe, two floors from me?

Amazing how so many years can pass and oh!- there's John. Oh, and I'm living with my parents again. Like nothing has changed. Amazing...and disturbing...
