Crazy Shit I See On The Bus (08 Aug 2008)

So, the past couple of weeks I've been taking the bus to work. This ride includes a ride down Woodward from 12 Mile to Downtown Detroit. During these couple of weeks, I have been reminded of why I used to keep a bus journal of the shit I used to see when I used to catch it before. If I can find it, I'll post those too.

What follows are the most interesting things I've learned/ observed over the past couple of weeks.

Lessons learned:

• Albanians invented the Earth




• This was written on the bus stop bench (12 Mile/ Woodward):
  "The tears of the innocent shall spill forth and engulf the wicked."
  
  then someone else wrote:
  
  "Reality means you live until you die. The real truth is no one wants reality."
  
  To which Victor replied:
  
  "Bro,
  
  A million years ago when Albania invented the Earth bro, we didn't need people like you, bro.
  
  -Victor"
  




• Highland Park is the Nigga/ Crackhead Factory




• Everybody in HP looks like they harbor utter disdain, disregard, or pure hate for every other human. Those are some rough looking people. I'm not exaggerating, EVERY person I see in HP without fail looks like murder doesn't bother them - toddlers to senior citizens, them niggas look rough.
  
  
• I saw a chic today with a SHOOOOORT skirt on, revealing a stab wound on her upper inner thigh. Tasty :-\



• There is a crackhead that gets on at 6 Mile/ Woodward. He wears the same nasty ass shirt and pants every day. However, I've seen him in AT LEAST 4 different CLEAN pairs of Jordans over the past two weeks. . . with that same ass FUBU jersey and dirty ass church slacks. Getcha priorities straight, my G.


• (If you live in HP and have a problem with this, please do not murder me)

Observations

• Niggas inherently hate the bus driver


• "BACK DOE MUTHAFUCKA!" is heard very often on the crowded Woodward Bus. Not like the bus driver is intentionally tryina keep you, Mr. Nigga; he just didn't see you.


• If someone looks like they stink, they stink. I decided to be nice and let this guy sit in the seat next to me. Unfortunately, he smelled like applesauce and shit. Of course, I was in a seat without access to an open window, so I just had to deal with it for bout a half hour.


• Prostitution on Woodward has long been a joke in Detroit. It is true.


• I saw this guy wearing a Cartier glasses, a fuzzy Kangol over a doo-rag, with a corduroy jacket and tearaway pants on. Reppin "tha D."
