Okay so today I had two separate, but impressive, incidents that I got the pleasure of seeing that has, temporarily, restored my faith in men as being a positive influence upon kids!
The first was on the D-Train on my way to work. A young Father got on with his infant girl and began talking to her..just like another person, no baby talk or any B.S. like that. Just talking to her about the train and all the things out the window, etc... He was a very interactive and caring Dad!
Prior to his stop I said to him that I really liked his style of parenting and it was very impressive that a man was as good with his infant as he was.
He said thanks and said "once in awhile a black man can be a good father"...
I told him I wouldn't give a darn what color a man was, that was amazing and his daughter was very lucky to have him as her Dad and that at that rate she was going to become a very intelligent and well adjusted child. He again thanked me and I thanked him and he and his daughter got off the train.
I was so impressed by that man...that's the kind of daddy I would like to be!
The second incident happened on the mall where a street musician was playing a steel drum, at least I think it was, and a little girl walked up to him and asked him "how did you learn to play that?".
This guy stopped what he was doing and talked to her and showed her how to play and let her play it and told her she was good, even if she wasn't, and made the mall a little bit funner for her! Yes I know "funner" isn't officially a word...But your missing the point!. This guy is a street performer...he took time/money out of his pocket to spend a bit of time, about 10 minutes, with this kid and made her feel good and taught her something. Yet another man in this world that gets it! Two in one day!
I told him that it was very nice of him to do that and thanked him and gave him $10, money well spent.
So, to those two Men I tip my hat and you guys have restored my faith in mankind...for awhile anyway!

There it is!
Okay, earlier this week I was out doing my rounds at work and I saw exactly why I appreciate children more than adults!
We, as grown ups, see this thing and it may make us smile or maybe illicit no response at all...
But picture this; these two boys were walking down the street, with their parents of coarse, one was maybe 8 and the other maybe 6. The older brother looks up and nudges his lil' bro' and says "look at the cow!!" and at that moments they just lost it! I mean that little dude had tears running down his cheeks he was laughing so hard! And his brother was out of control too...Now every single time I see this silly cow I bust up just thinking about those two.

And there it is...the reason kids are way more fun than the rest of you!

Dealer or Not
Recently I have toyed with the idea of selling a choice few friends, what we will from hence forth refer too as, "the greenery"...It IS legal now so any infraction I could make would be no more than a ticketable offense...right?
Okay maybe if I were a 16th street mall scumbag and chose to sell to 13 and 14 year old kids then I would deserve to die, just as those assholes I have seen doing just that in front of McDonald's deserve to die too! Right?
But really though, the thought has seriously crossed my mind lately, but too a specific few and them alone.
What do you think? Yes or No?

Another pair of nasties
Okay, here are a few things I need to get off my chest, so to speak...
First and foremost, to all of you out there, you know who you are...Do they sell personal grooming items where you shop?
Today, yet another, person decided to fill the bus air with their delightful scent! Yes, that IS sarcasm! And even earlier, on the train...Okay that brings up another point I have to make...Do people not understand that their nose is made for breathing? I got the full effect of some "mouth breather" today on the D-train! NOW I finally get what that means! Body odor and funk breath! WHY do people not seem to give one single shit about themselves any more? I can understand "homeless" people not having the facilities to do these chores but that's NOT who I'm talking about here! Mutha' fucka's with JOBS and apartments and LIVES are the worst! I just don't get it.

You Stink!
Uhhh, okay can I ask people, in general, a question? Does it occur to any of you that maybe, just maybe, if you do not shower for, i dunno', maybe a week or two, that you quite possibly fucking stink to all those around you? Does it also occur to you that when you drag your stinking ass into a small, confined, space, like say a bus, that your foul stench is causing those around you to begin to melt? TAKE A FUCKING SHOWER! A guy got on the Broadway bus today and he smelled like...wait for it...D.N.A.! Dick, Nutz & Ass! He was not, from outward appearance, a homeless man, he was otherwise well dressed and seemed groomed, but stunk horribly! Can people not smell themselves? I sure as hell smell me when I stink! W.T.F.?
