Self,
Speaking of the things I've seen on the train. Right after writing my last post, I had to ride the train home. On one leg of my journey I had saw the fashionably distinct Gucci logo pattern.....you know

The Things One May See
Self,
So in an effort to save money towards the end of the year I have taken to using public transportation to get to and from work. The best part is that my primary job reimburses us employee for doing so. The bad news is that I'm working the graveyard shift this week. Although my mom was worried about me using the subway (ok LA's version of it,) at night versus the day. But as a wanna be New Yorker, I do alright. The reality is people are just using it to get to point A to point B.
There are a few differences between the daytime riders and those night-riders. For instance last night, I'm on the underground portion of my journey and only traveling one stop (about 4 minutes.) I get on the train and stand towards the back of the entrance. Others get on and take seats either to the left or right of me. Then a youngster walks in pushing his bike and stands in the area where I am. I check him out, about 5'6 tall, dark brown skin, baseball cap, pants saggin' and long sleeve t-shirt with a fairly developing chest poking out, but only about a buck twenty. Ok, kinda cute but a kid. I turn to look the other way and wait for the doors to close so we can move on to my stop.
Train rolls on to my stop and I step off along with a few other passengers. While walking on the train platform I see the guy with the bike going opposite of me to the other exit which surfaces about two blocks away from where the exit I'm going to will surface. There's a mezzanine level between the train platform and the surface where passengers buy tickets before going down to the platform. However when you are getting off the train this level just represent more space you have to walk through before getting to the stairs that leads to the surface. As I walk to traverse this space dud with the bike rolls by me using his bike like a scooter or skateboard. Although he doesn't get THAT far ahead of me, he does get to the escalator that leads to the street level before me. Before I even get to the escalators myself I see him on the escalator with his bike up on one wheel just before passing beyond the top of my field of vision towards the surface. At this point I assume that's the last I'll see of him. I continue my walk to the escalator so I can get to the street to catch a bus for the last leg of my trip to work.
JUST AS I AM COMING UP THE ESCALATOR AND THE STREET LEVEL IS ENTERING MY FIELD OF VISION ABOUT 15 FEET AWAY I THE GUY WITH THE BIKE LIKE THIS...
Well flip the image and instead of his hands down in his pants one is holding his bike and the other is ON HIS HIP. I mean I understand the urge to go hits you when it hits you...but he didn't find a dark corner, a bush, or a wall to mask the situation. Basically he was in the middle of an open courtyard that basically anyone going to the stairs to get to the subway would have to see him.
I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh to myself. Then I text THEBoyfriend and told him what I had just seen.

Something New to Share
Self,
I've stopped buy CD's a long time ago, but I am still a music fanatic. Everyone once in a while I hear something that I love. Yes, sometimes what I hear are radio hits and gets played so much that I kinda don't feel the need to buy it. Example: Adele - Someone Like You, LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It (yes they are talking about me) DEV - In The Dark.
ANYWAY this post is dedicated to the artist that I've heard that aren't getting the same amount of airplay atleast not the radio stations that I frequently listen. I hope you enjoy this selection.
Sometimes I'm lucky enough that an app on my phone will identify a song's title and artist.
This artist's name is Hindi Zahra. The song is called "Set Me Free." It's soo sexy and sensual!
This one is "Perfect Darkness" by Fink.
This is Little Dragon's "No Love."
I hope you enjoyed this....I may be looking to purchase some new music.

Pharoah
