I am on the subway right now... This spazzy chick literally just popped a huge zit on her face and it started bleeding all over the place. She started mopping up all the blood with a paper receipt, got blood all over hands, and then fell when the train lurched, grabbed the pole I was holding, and got zit blood all over it. Sorry to be gross but seriously I need to make it clear how much I wanted to throw up all over her. And then smack her really hard.
So I started at my new gym today... I got there kind of late so all the machines were pretty much full. I hate waiting for machines and I hate having people looking over my shoulder. I also don't like having a zillion people around. So these are all major problems with going to a large gym. I had people on my ass the whole time I was there, on top of which there are only like fifty lockers in the womens locker room, so I had to drag my shit around with me because I was not going to sit there for half an hour waiting for a locker to free up. I wanted to do like at the laundromat and just pull the stuff out of one of the lockers that didn't have a lock on it, but this is Harlem, so no joke had I done that, there would be some fat angry bitch standing next to that locker when I got back. Up here that is the code- fuck with another woman's shit and it is a big enough deal to stand around until the perpetrator returns. I kind of like that in principle but not being from a place where such a code exists, I do not have the balls to enforce that myself.
I was thinking about Harlem today as i often do, since i spend every day there and used to live there.I find about 65-75% of white people to be totally lame and obnoxious, and really don't much want to live in a part of the city where white people are. I'm actually being serious; white people drive up rent and merchandise prices, and gentrification is forcing people from their homes. I am a little rough around the edges so I do well in places like Harlem. I've actually gone native so much that I think I might have become a self-hating white person. When I'm walking around East or West Harlem and I see a white person I actually tend to reflexively look at them with some contempt and wonder if they're lost or what family they displaced from their formerly rent-controlled apartment, which I realize is a really fucked up and hypocritical thing to think.
The one thing I hate about Harlem though is that people walk fucking SLOW. Oh my god, people will walk/stroll/waddle/meander down the middle of the sidewalk so slowly you'd think they were being led to the fucking gas chamber. I'm a fast walker so this really irritates me. The one that can be said for Whiteyville is that Whitey move FAST!
