Change over time?? may be...may be not!

So today was a little different than usual. First,lets recap. Last december I went to Downtown Dallas and as fate would be I got a packing ticket worth 30 bucks ! I will never forget seeing that luminous green envelope stuck on my windshield! I wasn't really amused about it based on the fact that I overstayed the office by some 15 minutes. I had put in about 2 bucks in the meter so I really didn't expect it to run out. However, my lawyer is Italian and she is the real definition of bubbly! That woman is so bubbly for a lawyer. You know how lawyers have that tough look that says they are very serious and will really "prove their case"?....yep that look. Ms C. aint like that and thats one of the main reason why I overstayed cuz she also talks too much...

So today I decided I wanted to ride the train pay $2.50, no gas used, no wear and tear on my ride lol... and ofcourse not risk getting a ticket. The last time I rode the train was in 2003...it's been 4 years and the trains have the same damn smell.....ok why why??? There
were other things that caught my attention: There was a mama with 5 kids and they looked like they had just come from swimming or s'thing. The train is like a bus...2 seats then the middle aisle. Kids were seated over 3 seats. Technically there was an extra single seat but as soon as the train stopped I wondered why the white gal quickly damped a bunch of sweaters on the extra seat....ok....kumbe there was a black dude entering the train and yah he didn't get the seat....wait... as soon as the train made the NEXT stop within 3-5 minutes and a white dude ingiad the girl chucked the belongings and she was happily seated next a fellow white jamaa. Anyone from Dallas will tell you its a very friendly city. Until today I was yet to see open racism or so may I call it. The girl was about 11 years old so imagine by the time she gets to 20,30,40.....she is getting from home...don't you think? It was such an automatic act and the mum did not even butt an eye for her to move the stuff away....that's the way life goes...mwana wa nyoka ni nyoka.

Things took a turn when 2 meth infested white jamaas ingiad the train. I aint hating but that was trully something beyond coke...beyond coffee, beyond parkinsons...beyond coke again and yah beyond weed...lol....Haki that was a "Video" moment. I was laughing hysterically cuz men! One of the jamaas for real his mouth and eyes were twitching with an interesting well coordinated rythmical movement. I felt as though I was watching puppets or something..God that was some funny shit...and that's why the damn trains will never stop stinking...the meth infested dirty people who ride in them day in day out...no day jobs...just riding the train. I am so not looking forward to my next train ride.....
