I hate missing the train!

Posted on October 5th, 2006 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

Don’t you feel like a complete loser when you miss the train? Especially when you make a dash for it and still miss?

At my station, you can see down to the lower level where the tracks are. The token booth level goes over both the up and downtown tracks.

So I saw my train as it came to a stop at the platform. Immediately, you feel like an olympic runner. Without fail though, you will find 10 slow ass people in your way.

I sprinted to the turnstile where I found the NYC Retard club attempting to swipe their cards. Is it me or have you ever wanted to just grab someones MertoCard away from them to swipe it for them? C’mon. Put the card in the slot and swipe. It isn’t that hard.

Anyway, made it through that nightmare only to get to the stairs. Of course, there were little old ladies moving 2 feet an hour. There must be a bingo hall down here that I am unaware of because there is no reason for this many old women to be heading down the stairs at once.

Finally, I made it down to the platform. Just as my foot hit the bottom step, the doors began to close. I made a last ditch sprint hoping to get a hand in the door. No…not so much. The train pulled away.

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

    Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s great to know that somebody else at the same time mentioned that as I had trouble finding the exact same info elsewhere. That was the first location that told me the answer. Thanks.

    I believe avoiding ready-made foods is the first step so that you can lose weight. They will often taste very good, but packaged foods include very little vitamins and minerals, making you take more in order to have enough vigor to get through the day. If you are constantly ingesting these foods, converting to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more electricity while eating less. Good blog post.

    One more thing. I do believe that there are several travel insurance web pages of respected companies that allow you enter a trip details and obtain you the quotations. You can also purchase the international travel insurance policy on the net by using your credit card. Everything you should do is usually to enter the travel information and you can start to see the plans side-by-side. You only need to find the system that suits your finances and needs then use your bank credit card to buy the item. Travel insurance on the web is a good way to take a look for a respected company to get international travel insurance. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

    One thing I’d like to say is the fact that before buying more computer system memory, look into the machine in which it is installed. If the machine will be running Windows XP, for instance, the actual memory threshold is 3.25GB. Putting in greater than this would merely constitute some sort of waste. Be sure that one’s mother board can handle the actual upgrade quantity, as well. Good blog post.

    Yet another thing to mention is that an online business administration course is designed for people to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelors degree courses. The 90 credit college degree meets the lower bachelor education requirements and once you earn the associate of arts in BA online, you may have access to the modern technologies with this field. Several reasons why students want to be able to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in the field and want to receive the general training necessary just before jumping in to a bachelor college diploma program. Thanks for the tips you actually provide as part of your blog.

    Another important aspect is that if you are a mature person, travel insurance intended for pensioners is something you should make sure you really take into consideration. The old you are, the greater at risk you are for making something terrible happen to you while abroad. If you are not covered by many comprehensive insurance cover, you could have a number of serious challenges. Thanks for sharing your suggestions on this blog site.

    One thing is the fact that one of the most widespread incentives for applying your cards is a cash-back and also rebate provision. Generally, you’re going to get 1-5% back for various acquisitions. Depending on the cards, you may get 1% returning on most acquisitions, and 5% again on expenditures made going to convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores and also ‘member merchants’.

    I have taken notice that in unwanted cameras, unique detectors help to maintain focus automatically. Those kind of sensors with some cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others start using a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, particularly in low light. Higher specs cameras often use a mix of both techniques and might have Face Priority AF where the digicam can ‘See’ the face as you concentrate only upon that. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this website.

    Thanks for your post on this website. From my personal experience, periodically softening right up a photograph may well provide the wedding photographer with a bit of an creative flare. More often than not however, this soft blur isn’t precisely what you had in mind and can quite often spoil a normally good photograph, especially if you thinking about enlarging this.

    I believe that avoiding highly processed foods may be the first step to help lose weight. They might taste excellent, but highly processed foods contain very little vitamins and minerals, making you consume more in order to have enough energy to get throughout the day. For anyone who is constantly ingesting these foods, transitioning to whole grain products and other complex carbohydrates will help you to have more electricity while having less. Good blog post.

    I have seen that fees for on-line degree gurus tend to be an awesome value. Like a full 4-year college Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits from $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online offers a Bachelors of Business Administration with a overall course feature of 180 units and a tariff of $30,560. Online studying has made having your higher education degree been so detailed more than before because you might earn your own degree in the comfort of your home and when you finish working. Thanks for other tips I’ve learned from your web-site.
