Express vs Local

I thought the intention of express train lines were to get you from point A to point Z quickly by skipping as many unnessaccary points in between. So folks, help me to understand why I can get on the A at an express station, leave less than 2 minutes after the C local but yet and still the C will arrive before the A. ( I read this back to myself...lol...and it kinda confused me. Yes I know I wrote it but its a bit too much like an algebra equation. Algebra is NOT and will NEVER be my friend).

Maybe this is a Brooklyn only issue but I've been timing the trains over the last few days trying to figure out if bypassing the C for the A was actually saving me time or wasting time. Intuition was telling me that it was the latter but as I've said before I don't run on emotion so I needed proof.

I let the C roll out of the station. The A comes 2 min later. We were 2 stops ahead of the C and approaching the express station. There is a single track shared by the A and the C...basically both can't be in the station at once. We are at full speed...next thing I know we start slowing down. We stop. C goes past....

WTF folks. WTF!!!! Why even ride the express if a damn local train is going to be given priority in the tunnel. What sense does that make??? I really wanted to say outloud "Does anybody else see this shit??!! Am I the only person that finds this to be not OK". But I refrained because when you make outburst like that, people will look at you like your a mental patient. And for the record I do NOT know that from personal experience. I'm not that damn throwed off...yet :0)

Reason #73,194...

...Why we ain't neva, eva, eva gon be free...LOL...I really don't know what to say. I guess if you want to get fame as a rapper you gotta have a gimmick.

My favorite lyric...."Even on the beach, I got timbs on my feet". CLASSIC!

STIMULUS CHECK HATH COMETH...

The elusive, highly sought stimulus check has finally arrived!!! Cue the dramatic white halo around said check with angelic choir singing "AHHHHHHH"...Yes folks it is THAT serious. It's been damn near 2 months. I've sat around jealous of all those around me fortunate enough to fulfill all of the requirements to have their payment direct depositrd on the date indicated at irs.gov.

Don't let my excitement fool you....I still think the whole thing is bogus and that the government will find a way for us all to pay it back BUT I will be spending mine ASAP :0)

Yes this is why we ain't neva gon be free or rich....

Somebody has my money....

I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A STIMULUS CHECK!!!! Clearly this is a problem of some sort. Called the dumbass automated "stimulus check information" line. That was no help whatsoever. It basically said be patient. Being patient is for the birds at this point.

Came across an article today that said that nearly 1500 payments were sent to the wrong accounts...yes I know thats a small number but with my luck my payment was probably sent elsewhere. And you know the gov is good for fudging the truth. So if their saying 1500 I'm gonna go ahead and say that its really like 50,000. Don't act like you don't know how our government rolls.

There are folks who have recieved 2 checks. TWO!!! WTF....WTF. I'm convinced someone has my money.

How is it that we live in one of the most advanced nations in the world, with the ability to track criminals from a satellite in outer space. But yet, our governement can't manage to properly electronically distribute checks. That blows my mind. All the freaking technology we have and they still cant do somthing simple. I can't deal. I really can't. Canada looks better and better everyday...

Sooo Hot in HERRE....

Ok folks...I prefer warm weather of cold weather but this is ridiculous!!!! The temp of NYC is HELL. How funny would it be if the weatherman actually said that...

"Let's take a look at today's forecast....NYC can expect it to be a lot like Hell outside. If your not Satan, you may want to consider staying in doors"

So my landlord has a "rule" that air conditioners can go in the back of the apt but not in the front. I guess because it's a brownstone on a historical block she doesn't want to compromise the look of the building...I'm sorry but the hell with the look of the building...It's tooo damn hot to only have 1 AC and expect it to cool the entire place. Is she crazy??? I'm sure to make such a ridonculous request/rule has to border on inhumane in this heat.

A heat stroke is not sexy! And I pay waaaaaaaay too much for rent to be confined to my bedroom only.

I completely ignored her "rule" and my AC will stay in the front window until she says something. And when she does I'm going to ask her to come upstairs and sit on my couch and try to watch TV for an hour and see if her ass doesn't start to melt. Thats if she doesn't pass out all together....
