August 23rd, 2011: First Full Day of 7Day Pass

EARLIER TODAY AT 2:36 P.M., MY AUGUST 7-DAY TRANSIT PASS EXPIRED, AND SURPRISINGLY, NOT MUCH HAPPENED THIS TIME AROUND, IN COMPARISON TO LAST MONTH, STUFF OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT IS. HOWEVER, THERE WERE THREE INTERESTING INCIDENTS THIS PAST WEEK, AND EACH ONE WILL GET ITS VERY OWN BLOG POST. LET'S START WITH THE INCIDENT ON AUGUST 23RD SHALL WE?

8/23: OB/WB Blue Line train. I am in Budd car #2299, heading home from spending a couple hours at the Triton College library. It is past 7:30 p.m., and it's almost completely dark outside. The ride from Cumberland to Illinois Medical District is comfortable, quiet, and calm, as expected during this late evening on the Blue Line, but as the train departs the Illinois Medical District stop, that light-skinned, nappy-headed young woman busts into the car that I am in, and begins asking innocent passengers for money. Yes, that same one who, on July 25th, barged into the car I was sitting in that day and asked for money. What she said as she traveled through the car I was in today raised some enormous red flags with me:

"Excuse me, everyone, but I'm homeless, and I'm hungry. Can someone please spare some change so that I can get something to eat?"

Okay, the last time I saw her, on the Blue Line, last month, she said,

"They want ya'll to think I'm homeless, to think I'm oan drugs! I ain't oan none of that!"

Yep, the same woman who said as she passed by me on July 25th,

"I oughta blow all ya'll up! I don't care bout no fuckin' prison!"

And tonight, as she walks pass me, I silently shout, "Ohhhh gosh," and cup my mouth and nose with my hand! She stunk sooooooo bad! Her b.o. could've killed three skunks and stinkbugs if not chase them away!

A guy in a white shirt was the only person in my car to give her some money. I wouldn't give her anything because, and I know this for a fact, and I believe it to be true with all my heart, many people who beg for change are doing it just to scrape up some money for drugs! As many Public Aid offices as there are in NE Illinois and the lazy, stinkin' bitch can't spend a few hours in any one office to get a Link card or be directed to a transistional shelter? See, this is the reason why I have ZERO sympathy, and I mean ZERO, for many homeless people and drug addicts! Lazy and crazy as hell! Only those who actually want to do something with their lives I feel 100% sympathy for and I'm willing to help them as much as I can, and I do! This phony, lazy asshole however, isn't receiving any assistance, nor one freakin' penny from me!
