There is a downside to living in a small town... You need your own transportation to get around basically.

New York City has Public Transportation that runs 24 hours a day. When it says it's a City That Never Sleeps, it's true. For example, Rihanna was seen getting $1 slices of pizza at 4am. Four o'clock IN THE MORNING!! ONLY in NYC!! You can get what you crave at any time you want AND take a train or bus to get it. Here, where I'm at right now... Get this...

From the town I'm in, to get to the town I work in which is 17 FUCKING MILES AWAY, I can take a bus but it doesn't and it won't get me there AT my 8am starting time. In fact, it's not even called a bus, it's called a trolley. AND, I would have to take a transfer which would take 90 minutes. Public transportation starts at 8am and the cost is 25 and 50 cents. I have yet to ride on it.

There was a slight problem at work which caused the team I work on to stay later. My Manager picks me up to take me to work and brings me back at the end of my shift, he lives in my town. But on that day he had a doctor's appointment which left me to get home in my own...which told me I was stuck. Co workers all drive and when it was clock out time, they are 'Beat Feet', left..left me standing there looking dumb as fuck. The owners if the place who also put in work with us came to the rescue. They called me a 'cab' in which they paid for. Found out from small town to small town cost $20. What I did t know is that it takes up to an hour for the cab to come AFTER you call it. Again, I panicked. But I got home alright.

So I'm thinking if getting my own car, it will cost me under $3,000. It's a fair price but.. We are still in a Pandemic and this Delta Variant is kicking it high gear too. So... I have to get a driver's license. But I wanted and need to get an ID first. DMV is by appointment only and the wait time is close to 3 months. I have the funds for the car, insurance, registration all of that but it's the wait time to get things rolling. This leaves me to do only one thing on the weekends on my day off.

On Saturdays I walk to the library to read their magazines and to download my movies, music and TV shows. The place where I rest my head is reality is a Shelter, but they call it something else. Anyways they have wifi but it restricts me from accessing torrent websites. I know a work around but I'm not trying to get kicked out of the place. You may say how will they know. Well, I'm the only one with a laptop. In fact I have 3 laptops, 2 are in the office for safe keeping. I sleep ina dorm. So it's the library I go to on one of my two days off. On Sunday, I do nothing my be lazy...or try to be that is.

Today is Tuesday. Since the past Friday when I work up there was hot water. I come 'home' from work, sweaty and tired from a long hard week of work and there is not hot water but the repairman is there to fix it. No hot water for the whole weekend and this morning, the morning I am writing this I woke up to try and take a shower, in which I did but to semi like warm water. I'm not complaining but... I am a person who works with food and I am use to taking THREE showers in the Summertime. For all those days I was washing up in the bathroom sink which didn't make me feel clean at all. Yesterday, Monday I told myself if there isn't any hot water I was going to walk to a hotel and get a room just to take a hot shower. But I feel clean this morning after taking one. I just hope they get it completely fixed by the time I get home.

I can adapt to any thing. Getting around and not having hot water to clean myself is a small thing kind of to me. It throws me off a little, but I adapt.

I've Gotta Say...

Anyone under the age of 37 is a youngster to me. There I've say it. Oh I have my reasons for saying so too. When those if 37 years of age and younger come to me for some advice..and it's rare, I give it to them. My advice is what I would do, but you aren't me so take your chances by following my advice. But if I really, REALLY know something, if I really know the works and the making of whatever you ask me about, I would take the advice I gave you. Run with it, go for it. But no..you have to learn by your mistakes. It's not like you've been around the block as many times I have in my 60 plus years.  So this one young lady is a certified Nut Case. Yeah, but she has a beautiful face and a body you wouldn't believe. I have had the pleasure of making Love to her once..with no happy ending. Reason being, I know me. I would want her always and all the time. So why I do/did was make it all about her pleasure. Did everything she would want me to do...other than actual s...

I know we are a strange people

I'm trying to figure out people, this is an ongoing, day to day, minute to minute process . Why do I bother? I REALLY need some type of hobby. I know to some people I may be and act strange also. The difference with me is that I will call you on your strangeness. Call me on mine. To me, I like to have fun, no matter what I am doing. Work !! I have always have fun at work, but not all the time. It happens throughout the day. The people I wait on, allow the fun part of me to come out. Someone should invent a spray that does this to people, I think, no I know the world would be a whole lot different. Another thing, and I try to make this a priority everyday, is that I try to be consistent . Its hard at times, but I do try.

Wow!!

Okay, this woman I met online....we are meeting for the first time come December. She choosed to tell me a little about herself. She us a God Fearing. Church Going Woman. To each his or her own. She told me in her own words, that she use to smoke that 'shit', crack. So? I could care less if you're smoking it, have smoked it and want to still smoke it, that's your choosing, really. But I have issues with what she said. Its along the lines of people who sue to smoke cigarettes, and now when theywalk into a cloud of cigarette smoke, the complain or cough. To me that act is stupid. It only goes to prove that you miss smoking cigarettes. Why complain when some one else is smoking and you use to? You miss it that bad huh? Reguardless you quit because of health reasons, I'm not watching where I smoke if its legal, cause you feel its bad for YOU!! As for smoking crack. You tried it, liked it,hbut found out now that its not right for you to do. What cause you to quit? Me, ...
