You're not a baby, so hold yourself upright

Have you ever noticed that just as the subway comes to its screeching halt at the next stop, or just before it pulls out of a stop, that it lurches forward or backwards? And have you also ever noticed that so do most of the people in the subway car? Well, I have. And I've also wondered why these people never learned to control their own bodies. I mean, is it a special gene that some people are born with and some aren't? Or could it be that some people are just lazy? I'm baffled as to why some people can't brace themselves, like I do, before each and every stop so that they don't crash into the poor person sitting next to them. Instead, they allow the subway to toss them around like a punching bag without even trying to have some self-restraint. The result? Some unsuspecting passenger being crushed, because you know that most of the time it's the not-so-thin ones who are the main perpetrators.

Song of the moment: The theme to "One Life to Live" because it's on now and I need to stop blogging and go watch it.

some of us have a harder time bracing ourselves and sometimes if we are half asleep its hard to brace at all...each stop wakes us up
