Poor White Trash
I have always found that term to be an oxymoron, but I also spent most of my life in a rich white neighborhood. A woman on my train (yes I own it) was decked out in pink boots, pink jacket, and pink hat cocked to the side. She wore big ass hoop earrings and her black velvet track suit had rind stones aplenty. Top the whole ensemble off with blingin’ rings and evening makeup and I was basically looking around for Missy Elliot to start rapping.
Where the hell did this come from? I mean does being ghetto now require a uniform? I am not hatin’ on hip-hop styles and I could write at length about it’s co-option into white culture and others wanting to be “down” but in cases like this you wonder if it is just a put on, like Halloween or something.
No Ear Dood
A brother gets on the train, looks like he works with his hands. He goes to work, don’t complain much, he just keeps keepin’ on.
He also didn’t have an right ear.
I don’t consider it staring when for a moment I recognize and contemplate a person having no ear. You don’t see that sort of shit everyday, so as long as I don’t ogle, there is nothing disrespectful done here. I was sort of interesting though. I supposed he was born that way as it looked as though his ear had basically folded over, i.e. it wasn’t gone. It made me think about how important my ears are and that I would not be able
to use my iPod’s earbuds or wear my glasses.
I also thought it would make getting laid a little difficult.
Post Hipster Yuppie
Unlike myself, this asswart does ogle No Ear Dood and shows an expression of disgust and discomfort at being trapped on a crowed train with a mangled looking ear.
You wouldn’t know that you hate this guy until you hung out with him for a while or dated him. He’s not bad looking and pretty all-American without being country club like his parents, though since he’s gotten older those yuppie clothes he once wore to be chic are starting to feel a little too comfy. He still goes out to dirty ass BillyBurg for a show or some dive bar in LES, but totally bags on anything that doesn”t fit his view of cool. Sometimes that shit is funny but you notice a bit of venom in him and he is back in school getting his law degree. It all become crystal when he fucks your cute hipster friend for a few months then dumps her because she is “getting a little fat.”
Oops. This is my stop.
