As I'm sure you all know, I am a university student. That means that I ride the bus. Every day. For those of you who don't ride the bus, you are really missing out. You can learn about religion (titled On the Bus) and all kinds of interesting things. However, sometimes I want to be left alone, especially by all the creepy people that ride the bus for the sheer pleasure of freaking me out (trust me, there ARE people like that). That's where my secret weapon comes into play. I acquired it on the Thanksgiving weekend of last year, and it is truly amazing. With this precious gift, the lady with a giant booger on the end of her finger no longer bothers me, the guys that drools and works for Pepsi doesn't wave at me anymore, and the smelly old guy that even creeps me out (I do feel sorry for those 19 year pretty girls that he sits by) won't bother me (NB: these people are NOT made up). You see, this incredible gift that was given to me by my parents and sibling/sibling-in-law is an iPod. I'm telling you, this thing instantly makes me a blind, deaf mute. If a crazy says something to you, you simply didn't hear it, right? If some weirdo is looking at you, you need to change songs on your iPod so you have to look towards your lap, correct? I see and hear almost everything that goes on in that bus, yet I don't. It's wonderful. As far as physical contact goes, well, that's still in the works (I'm talking with Apple about some type of integrated music player/body suit that produces about 1A of current when touched, plenty enough to stop the heart for a while. I'm hoping Spring 2010). Safe driving.......

Times Have definitely changed! I used to love riding the "streetcar" - that is how old I am! Even the buses when they first came out. The drivers were very friendly (perhaps, being a young lady (tongue in cheek)) and often would tell me stories (I sat close to the front! There must be some good people on those buses, Clint! More, please.
