Hmmm....I'm sure all of you who catch the rain in the afternoons know of the newspaper, the mX. I've just had my school holidays, and yesterday was my first day back...it was quite nice to be able to sit in that stuffy carriage with a freshly printed mX in hand to devour the afternoon by storm. Yes, clouds were brewing on the horizon, but that's not really the aim of this post.
First day back and trains to catch, how wonderful. I've got a lot of catching up to do with this blog, but it's mostly because nothing very interesting is happening recently and it's quite deplorable.
There was a new sign at Central...not sure when it was put up. AH yes the barriers all have a new electronic little display! It's only at Central, but it's kind of odd and really amusing and a bit of a waste fo space and an eye-sore if you ask me...
Also, I stuck my bus pass in at Parramatta by mistake and walked without thinking and the doors tried to kill me. I did the same thing at Central but luckily I didn't walk this time. heh... good thing the Invalid Ticket notice showed up on the display I just complained about...sorry...
On the train in the morning (not the Intercity because we missed it) a lady yelled at a student for standing in the way at Strathfield, i think it was. And she was very loud and demanding, and then she started cursing at children in general for being evil little creatures and accusing us of acting nice and then stealing $100 from her wallet.
..................ooookaay......
Just saying, that is very rude. Not everyone is like that. If all children were like that, imagine what all adults would be like. Because, in case you forgot, children grow up to be adults. Why is it that adults always seem to forget that children are technically the same as you? Like seriously tell me you have the slightest inkling of basic biology.
If a child was capable of stealing from her wallet, an adult would be just as capable. I'm sure she's probably had some traumatic experience where she's lost $100, but why is she so able to willingly, carelessly and evidencelessly ...is that a word?... accuse the entire population's worth of children of being petty little thieves who have nothing better to do than act like dolls and steal your money? Society, my friend, is collapsing.
That sardine can of a train, is really a metaphor for our society. Trundling on a railway line with no indication of where we're really going. Who says that the destination is the true destination?
And...I've been writing too much Modernism. okay. going to stop. now.
