So cool

Posted on February 13th, 2007 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

Newsflash. Playing your hiphop ringtones over and over on the train doesn’t make you cool or bad ass. It makes you look like an ignorant jackass.

I’ve seen it over and over. I guess I should say I’ve heard it over and over. It’s like they think they have a portable stereo with them.

They DJ their ringtones like they were mixing at a club. Then they rap along and bounce their heads. Meanwhile, grandma is plotting her esape plan.

Nothing against hip hop, but there’s a time and place for some songs. They hardcore, gangsta versions don’t belong in mixed comapny on a crowded subway.

“Uhhh…gonna fuckin’ kill the bitch…yeeeeah,” shouldn’t be forced upon anyone this early in the morning.

Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

    More annoying are the people who insist on playing FULL MP3s out loud on their cell phones in a crowded train and then sit then and smirk while the rest of the car glares at them. One day, some cell-phone-playing-music fool is going to get punched, I think, by an irate straphanger.

    I agree playing ringtones over & over is idiotic. Would the same complaints be shared if it wasn’t hip hop but some music you liked though? I like to be fair about this.

    Thankfully I drown out the noise with my Creative (hate IPods) & everything is just fine.

    Personally, I listen to rap/hip hop. So it’s nothing against the music. I would have the same problem if it was hard core rock too. If Buckcherry’s “Crazy Bitch” was playing, I would have the same problem.

    Anything with offensive lyrics bothers me. Then again, classical music might offend someone else, so who knows.

    I say you just turn the ringers off and keep it to yourself. It’s the same thing as having a boombox on the train…illegal.

    No. Hearing music you like would not be annoying. If it was, radio stations would not exist.

    But that’s not my point. I haven’t experienced the ‘ring-tone’ problem yet, but I am sick of people playing their mp3 players so loud that it sounds like there’s an external speaker. I don’t let it bother me though, because in a few years those people will be deaf. Thinking about that makes me smile :)

    One of the issues that need to be addressed here is that these idiots are going to keep doing this until someone says something – which very rarely happens, if ever.

    Thanks for your handy post. In recent times, I have been able to understand that the symptoms of mesothelioma are caused by the particular build up connected fluid involving the lining on the lung and the chest muscles cavity. The ailment may start inside the chest location and propagate to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight reduction, severe breathing in trouble, a fever, difficulty ingesting, and swelling of the face and neck areas. It must be noted some people with the disease usually do not experience virtually any serious symptoms at all.

    Thanks for your post. What I want to comment on is that when evaluating a good on the web electronics retail outlet, look for a web-site with entire information on important factors such as the security statement, protection details, any payment methods, as well as other terms as well as policies. Usually take time to browse the help as well as FAQ pieces to get a much better idea of how the shop operates, what they can do for you, and ways in which you can make use of the features.

    Thanks for your posting. One other thing is the fact that individual American states have their own laws that will affect homeowners, which makes it quite difficult for the the legislature to come up with the latest set of rules concerning property foreclosures on home owners. The problem is that each state features own laws which may work in an adverse manner in regards to foreclosure insurance plans.

    I mastered more new stuff on this fat reduction issue. Just one issue is a good nutrition is very vital any time dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and bright flour products could possibly be necessary. Possessing wastes harmful bacteria, and contaminants may prevent goals for losing fat. While certain drugs in the short term solve the challenge, the bad side effects will not be worth it, and they also never supply more than a short-lived solution. It is a known undeniable fact that 95% of celebrity diets fail. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this weblog.

    I have really noticed that fixing credit activity really needs to be conducted with tactics. If not, you will probably find yourself endangering your position. In order to succeed in fixing your credit history you have to see to it that from this moment you pay any monthly expenses promptly before their booked date. It is significant given that by not really accomplishing that, all other activities that you will choose to adopt to improve your credit ranking will not be useful. Thanks for discussing your concepts.

    Also a thing to mention is that an online business administration training course is designed for scholars to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelors degree education. The 90 credit certification meets the lower bachelor diploma requirements when you earn your own associate of arts in BA online, you will possess access to the most recent technologies in this field. Several reasons why students have to get their associate degree in business is because they’re interested in the field and want to obtain the general schooling necessary ahead of jumping in a bachelor diploma program. Thx for the tips you provide with your blog.

    I’d also like to say that most of those that find themselves without the need of health insurance are normally students, self-employed and those that are without a job. More than half from the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty five. They do not think they are needing health insurance as they are young in addition to healthy. Their own income is generally spent on real estate, food, in addition to entertainment. Many people that do represent the working class either 100 % or in their free time are not made available insurance by means of their jobs so they proceed without as a result of rising price of health insurance in the country. Thanks for the ideas you discuss through this website.
