Subway Fireworks Part I

I wasn't feeling all that great on Friday so I just decided to stay home and watch Regis Philbin on TV instead. After the ball dropped, a roommate and I went upstairs to the roof deck to watch the fireworks. It was a little chilly and I wasn't properly dressed so we headed down after 10 minutes or so.

As for Saturday - I got up pretty late - grabbed a bite to eat - watched some college football - ate some more - took a long nap - watched some more football - ate some more - watched some more football - ate some more - watched more football - and then went to bed. And no I did not shower, I was in my jammies all day long. But I did manage to finally brush my teeth before going to bed. I think this will be my new tradition for every Jan 1st. Ahh....what a way to start of 2005.

For Sunday, I thought that I should be a little more productive than the day before. So I got up early - showered and BRUSHED my teeth before eating breakfast and watching some football highlights on ESPN from the night before. I then got my Sunday paper and headed to my neighborhood corner bakery for some coffee and a slice of NY cheesecake....hmmm....hmmm...good. After perusing the newspaper, sipping my coffee and savoring every bite of my cheesecake - I headed back to watch what else...but more football. I then felt inspired to go to a place that I haven't visited in a few days and that was the Snowflake show. I've been fortunate to arrive right before the show the last few times, so I got to watch two shows again. It is still crowded but not as crazy as before Christmas.

On the way home, I witnessed another fight on the subway. But this time - it was much more violent than the last one. It seems there was a guy, whom I thought was initally one can short of a six-pack, but just turned up to be a rude racist jerk. As the train was pulling away, an argument broke out at the other end of the subway car. He, a white male, started to call a black male stupid, ignorant and a few other things. I guess both were pushing each in an attempt to get on the train earlier. A lady stood up and yelled at both of them for being at fault and to cool it. The white male than started his tirade on her - calling her a this and a that and a dirty jewish *@!%*. Then another black man came out of no where and punched the white guy about 3 times in the face. By now everyone sitting/standing there was running towards my end of the car. Talk about fireworks for the New Year. But unfortunately my post is getting too long and you will just have to tune in tomorow for the conlusion of this story my friends......Till manana.....
