Underwear Ninja comes with Space Suit
to blog or not to blog, which is the path a true underwear ninja must take? whichever path it be, it will surely be a rough-hewn one. argyle, possibly.

i've discovered a phenomenon
you'd think that a city with as much history and experience as new york would have figured out by now that they absolutely rely on public transportation. and that they'd take care and make sure nothing goes wrong with the buses or subway lines. its critical for the success of new yorkians and the entire city. and you'd think that since they've figured out how crucial public transportation is, they'd safegaurd against mother nature's fury. after all, she and her problems have been around longer than time was discovered.
you'd think so, right?
i thought so too, but we are both wrong.
it rained on friday. not a horrible downpour, but a steady healthy rain that lasted midmorning to evening, with moments of gentle drizzle and other moments of nice-size rain. the streets didn't flood.
out of all the trains going into and out of queens, the B, F, N, R, E, W, and7, there was flooding on the tracks that made it impossible for these trains to cross under the river. there was only 1 train going in and out of queens: the 7
i got to times square to transfer over to the 7 to go to queens and check out a potential apartment. when i got there i saw something.... different. and not a good different.
imagine the best buy after thanksgiving sale without the police or a "line". now imagine that there is only 1 best buy buy store in the state having that sale. that's what it looked like people trying to get on the 7. it was so unique that i think it deserves its own phenom. you know, like when what you're trying to describe cannot be related to something else. a banana tastes like nothing but a banana. as in to describe any situation that seems like 5000 people are trying to squeeze into a small place at once can be described as "its like the 7 when it rains"
it took me 2 hours to get out there, which should have taken 20 min.
whats with this place?

    Ouch! Maybe Hell, MI has something to do with it.It couldn't have been pretty. People so quickly lose their veneer of civility.
