so i was suppose to make this post a couple days back...but i've been hanging out and havent really had time to sit in front of my comp to type this out. so hopefully this still makes some sense as im trying to recall what i wanted to blog about...
so...the first and probably the most popular kind of transportation...the train. so the other day, i was on the train, and i realized that a lot of people were staring at me. i was kinda like...wth is going on??? but come to after looking around, i noticed that people just stare at each other in general. and that got me thinking...what do people look at when they're on a train (if they're not sleeping or reading something)...you can only read the commercial boards so many times...then it started to feel really awkward cuz i found myself randomly staring at other people as well...so i tried staring at the ground. it worked for while, but i would look up once in a while, and notice people staring and looking around me...O_O?? another thing about trains...they take FOREVER!!! so i guess being someone that like to get from point a to point b asap, the train is NOT an ideal way to travel for me...or so i thought...
so the other kind of transportation that i use is my car. back in my midwest days, i can get from a to b in a good amount of time (15-20 mins at most if there's traffic). BUT, im driving in freaking nyc now. and yeah, traffic here, oh man...i would use some extreme colorful language, but i will refrain from that because i am trying to cut a bad habit. lets just say that it is really ridiculous. but you know what i hate more? the traffic jams RARELY have an explanation. its as if people just decide to drive slower during certain hours of the day...WHY!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! so the other day, i debated to take the train out to queens, or drive...i looked up nyc traffic map, and it said it was clear...but i guess from the time i left my room to my car (which is like 3 mins) the traffic flow changed...as soon as i got off the williamsburg bridge, i drove bumper to bumper and inched my way slowly to queens...GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...man...a trip that should took me no more than 30 mins, took me 1.5 hours...1.5 hours!!!!
anyways...wow, this blog became more like a vent...hahahahahahaahaahah...but yeah, thats reall all for now, im just glad tomrrow i dont have to worry about traveling out to church. cuz i just gota take the elevator down, although sometimes elevator traffic is even worse -_-" but i'll save that rant some other day.
im outs..paEce

last night, in an effort to save gas, my father, two of my sisters, and I traveled to Shea Stadium by train. From our house, this means a 40-50 minute train ride to Woodside, and then jumping on a connecting train going to Shea on the Port Washington branch (the same route the 7 takes, apparently). Of course, though, after the game, there aren't a lot of westbound trains on the PW line. After we wait a half hour for one to appear, we get to Woodside and have to wait another half hour for an eastbound train on the Babylon branch to get back home.
It could be worse, Boaz. You could live on Long Island. We HAVE to drive in traffic.
please, let's not complain about having to "travel" down the elevator to church. city traffic is something you definitely get used to. i totally know what you mean about driving in the midwest. it's a lot easier up here in rockland too. you should move up to rockland, then you won't have to worry about traffic. :D
