Friday

Another Friday, another disappointing paycheck, people. We all think we should get more than we get. Let's all make a club. We'll call it New York City.

Last weekend, I was taking the train home from visiting my Grandmother and family up in one of the Northern states. On the way back the train car wasn't full but each couple of seats had someone. I had gotten my own little two seat row. But towards the middle of the trip some woman sat next to me. This irritated me to no end. Why? Because as soon as she sat down I popped my head up, looked around and saw that everybody was sitting in a two person row except me in thsi lady. She picked me to sit next to. She could have sat next to anybody but she picked me, the nice little boy who looks harmless. I saw this as an attack against my self image. What's a matter I don't intimidate you enough, lady? I look all harmless? Do I look the least threatening out of all the people here? I never verbalized these questions but I said them to myself many times over inside my head.
