I get to wellesley subway station yesterday, to find that the goof in the booth has fucked off somewhere and left a sign saying “Please pay fare and enter. Back soon”. I only have $5 on me and those wonderful new machines the TTC has painstakingly installed everywhere still dont take fivers so I waited. I waited like the good post-catholic boy I was brought up to be. I actually felt embarrassed standing there: white middle aged guy not hopping the gate, like I expected everyone else to be doing. then I started to watch the crowd entering the subway. Of the 25-30 people I watched, only two didnt pay. that is, they might have had a pass but made no effort to take anything out of their pockets: zip, right through. I wont sully their race’s good name by mentioning their ethnic backgrounds. One pair of do-gooders armed only with a $5 bill like myself crammed the whole bill into the slot and were out $0.50. After a while the goof in the booth came back and thanked me for waiting.<\/p>\n

Today…the same time, same subway station, same situation. No goof in the booth, and me armed only with a $5 bill. Fuck it. I went through.<\/p>\n

Im not too sure what I am trying to prove with this blog. weather people are inherently good or bad but I do have to say that I am always suprised at acts of intelligence and politeness. am I bitter? probably. fuck you for noticing.<\/p>\n

Things I wanna say:
\nCurrent CD in player: The Best of the Style Council
\nCurrent book beside toilet: On the Trail of The Space Pirates
\nCurrent Game in PS2: Ratchet and Clank (first one)
\nCurrent Gameboy Game: Mario Kart
\nCurrent Fave food: Tuna fish subs from Subway
\nCurrent time I find myself cursing myself for not going to bed sooner: 12:30am
\nCurrent gauge: 8 (still)
\nCurrent voltage: 220<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
