Now, this is the part where I pretend to be listening

the fucking title

The day actually started out fine, I was actually thinking about what to blog about this morning, something about the humanisation of brands (not joking) but towards the end (5.30p.m.), a pile of nonsense crops up and the day wasn't so fine anymore.

First came a PDF file that required editing during the last 30 minutes of the workday when I could have been told about it hours earlier. And then, the simple task of uploading a couple of JPEGs onto an FTP server which would have taken three minutes to do, if not for the fact that The Organisation employs NSF web servers as well. I am not paid $420 to unnecessarily stay back for an hour past my supposed going-home time.

After I've finished the nonsense, I saw my bus leaving just as I was walking towards it so I had to wait an entire interval for the next one. And only to almost lose my balance when the driver decided to jerk the bus forward before actually driving off. I did not wait 15 minutes for a bus to do the wobbly legs dance.

Of course, that dance routine got the attention of a few other passengers who, no doubt, would have laughed at me if not for the fact that I looked like I would have headbutted them without hesitation if they did. Then, the bus stopped behind a line of traffic, which in turn was stopped by a train. A motherfucking train, I can't make this shit up. Choo choo motherfucking train choo choo. And it wasn't even a full-length train with passenger, chicken crates and superhero-on-top-of-it carriages kind of deal, it was just the front carriage driving around on the tracks. I did not try my best to look composed in front of four strangers who saw me nearly stumbling over, just to get stopped by one train carriage on a joyride.

Got off at my stop and trudged up the overhead bridge and in front of me, a guy wearing a pair of evisu's, nike's and a t-shirt with a bald eagle on its back with very americana-ish flourishes and text which looked like an Ed Hardy's reject, which is saying a lot about its hideousness. The nike's were green and yellow and puke or something, I can't remember, and untied. Motherfucker couldn't care enough to tie his shoelaces but cared enough to buy a pair of evisu's that had a million pockets on it and on each of them, the gawdy-as-fuck solid-coloured stitching. I'm not kidding, this shit is real.

Motherfucker looked like a pukepile in Charlie's faggot Chocolate Factory.





That felt good, that felt therapeutic. Normal, non-Tourette-inspired posting to resume next post.

i actually saw this pair of jeans on some forum a while back. it was like tagged as the ugliest pair of jeans ever. i honestly think you should get it. that many pockets would be useful for holding stuff, like your jack knife, torchlight, notebook and pen, 11B, FAD, ID tag, amongst other things.

Good reply, you better not leave any holes for a comeback in your next blog entry.
