Today something happened on BART that happens as often as Halley's Comet make an appearance: I had a conversation with someone! The 5:01 train was unusually crowded, and as I sat next to a lady who actually smiles, I commented, "The train is really crowded this evening." Her response, well first let me tell you my thoughts. I look at commuting as a complete waste of my time and money. I could do a lot more my two hours and $200 plus dollars a month. I used to walk or roller blade to work in minutes...free of charge and lived a more interesting life with more personal time.
Her response, "Yes it is. I'm just so happy to have an hour of alone time." Alone time? If you know me, you know I find a great deal of BART passengers completely annoying! They're either listening to their headphones too loud, I guess they don't get the concept of headphones!, talking too loud on the telephones sharing too much information with the entire car, typing too loud, breathing on me, gross!, or taking the entire seat, smashing me up against the window. I find it anything but enjoyable. She then explained that it's the only time she gets to herself to read and sit down. Once home, she has to cook, clean and "deal with teenagers". I suggested she ride around on BART a little longer. We both laughed. She went back to her book and I went back to longing for my walking days.

The W's have lost it this weekend
West and Williams that is. What a bad sport Serena Williams is, swearing, threatening the judge, making a complete fool out herself, and showing her true colors, all because she lost. Stupid bitch. Kanye, Kanye, Kanye. What a stupid ass hole you are. How selfish to go on stage and take the microphone away from that girl - yes, Taylor Swift is still a minor - she's a girl. How dare you steal her moment away from her. At least Beyonce showed enough class to let Taylor Swift have her moment when she won, calling Taylor out to give her speech. You are a f*cking idiot and I hope this ruins your career. Why don't you and Serena crawl into some hole were bad sports go and stay off our television sets. I'm not even going to post photos of you two losers.

ABBAloutely Amazing!
I went online to search for entertainment while I'm up in Tahoe. Harvey's, Montbleu, Harrah's, and came across at the South Shore Room (at Harrah's) called Abbacadabra. An ABBA tribute band. Okay, so I knew the songs would be fun and the price was so right, so how bad could it be? The show started and I knew it was going to be a good show. As the show progressed, it was becoming a great show. Half way through the "concert", it was evident that this was the second coming of ABBA. If I had taken out my contact lenses and forgotten that ABBA no longer performed, I could have sworn I was at an ABBA concert. The vocals, the costumes, the energy this group puts out it just fantastic. If you're an ABBA fan, this is a must see "concert" performance!
