How I Spent My Day and The Things I learned

So instead of going to Romanian class today I had to attend to my car. However my car was on the other side of the valley and Pepboys... who are lame all 3 of those character guys LAME... wouldn't release my car to be towed because I had to pay in person... which makes them double lame... who doesn't take payment over the phone?

So I embarked on adventure using the public transportation system provided by the city of Phoenix.

I left at 11:00 (it took me that long to figure out which buses to ride. I got up at 8)
I hopped on the bus then the light rail okae so the first 1.5 hours of my journey were sorta boring. I read some Henri Nouwen:



Great book pick it up.

Then I hopped off the light rail and onto another bus, again sorta boring until I realized I was on the wrong bus. Dear City of Phoenix consider naming you're buses better.

So I had to back track a little get on a different bus where I met a lovely lady who spoke to me in Spanish. I couldn't understand her though cuz it was loud. So I thought oh way out answer what I understood in English and then tell her I don't speak Spanish in Spanish. I was punished for lying because as soon as I told her in my awesome accent(even if I do say so myself), she questioned me "you don't speak any Spanish" to which I was forced to respond, "I do just not well I listen well I just get nervous an I just couldn't hear you before because of all the construction and I don't know that word" *side note* she had a different accent I've not heard before I have no idea where she was from. *end side note* She forgave me and asked with words and hands. Very nice lady.

So on the correct bus now. 1 more switch. So I get off too wait for my next bus and so does this Tata. He was real old and it was awesome. He was even rocking several different fashion statements in one outfit, typical old guy style. Oh I should add highlight of his stylish outfit a trucker hat that was very Ashton Kutcher circa 2003. He talked to me about his fresh white kicks and asked if my feet were hot in my TOMS. I talked to him for half an hour about old people stuff, so nothing really which was okae.


Finally I arrived at my destination picked up my car drove it to the Volkswagen Dealer and left it there. That took all of 20 minutes. Yes I rode the public transportation for 4 hours to do a 20 minute job because Pepboys sucks. So I just left my car because I had another bus to catch to start my trip home. However they were nice at VDub and drove me to the bus stop in Tolleson that I was going to. Which enabled me to catch an earlier bus which enable me to stay out of the dark but caused me to be subjected to white hairy man thighs... gross.

I pretty much read this the whole way home...



(Ah literature you are soooo good.

Thanks Eric Martinez for buying me this book!)


....except for when I almost threw up because a gentleman in the male equivalent of soffe shorts sat across from me and he was hairy and pale and if you didn't know body hair including legs and arms sicks me out in the first place but everyone's upper thighs should be kept a secret. So I got off the bus before I needed to because I was uncomfortable and went to the BK lounge and bought an ice cold Dr. Pepper.



So now for the things I've learned:
1. Bus are great... I don't know where the people who ride buses come from but I feel like I never encounter them in any other part of life.

2. Phoenix is huge when ride a bus if I had a car 1 hour tops but because I did it all walking and on a bus I have a new found appreciation for the city.

3. Men should shave their legs. No one should be subjected to white hairy man thighs.

4. Women should shave their arm pits... don't ask.

5. I really like the light rail

6. Bus drivers are solitary people.

7. Dr. Pepper tastes sooo good after a long day




And for my finale
Wanna you know what 9 hours of bus riding and walking around Phoenix got me?
