I tend to try and find the whimsy in life. I mean really in this day and age its hard to not try and look on the so-called bright side. If I don't I get caught up in the news and I somehow talk myself into thinking I'm going to die of Swine Flu and SARS. I'm not joking -- I wish I was.

Making use of public transportation is something I do on a regular basis. To/from work or to just save on excessive parking. Its just easier for me, and its a big plus to not have to cry over being raped for parking downtown. Really, 14 bucks for 9 hours!? For that much you'd better wash and clean out my car. Shoot. Obama, hook a sister up.

For some bussing it can be considered unreasonable, gross, not cool...etc. Cuz, its so much cooler to not be able to be in the HOV lane and be screaming at the person in front of you. Oh and to waste money on parking and gas... Yeah funtimes. But I realize for some people its just comfort. I give myself a high five when I get on a bus with a/c on a hot day, or a bus that won't breakdown in Belltown on my way to Queen Anne due to snow. I'm still in therapy trying to forget that disaster.

Anyhow. What does this have to do with yanno. Wimsey? Well. This is where the crazy comes out. Or at least me making the best of the situation. Or trying to entertain myself to the best of my ability.

Those who *know* me, understand that I have a love for music that cannot be surpassed and if I wasn't with someone who appreciated it as much as I did, I would say music is my boyfriend (cue CSS, if you get that, I love you). If you were to cut me I'd bleed cds and Ipods. I think I was ment to be with a musician in a way. Music appreciation can win me over. Jeff Buckley on a first date helps as well.

I take this time on the bus to listen to music and I find downtown Seattle turning into Bjorks "its oh so quiet" video.




Or even the scene in Kevin Smiths "Clerks 2".



People walking and dancing to the music. Doing dances with umbrellas and shit. Or really people just walking to the beat of what I happen to be listening to. In my head its the soundtrack to my day, and the people I see around me just happen to be a part of it all.

Maybe its the city, it makes me happy. I just picture everyone walking around listening to the amazing song I am and enjoying it as much as I do.

Of course, it would be great if they could break into song and dance just for me. So if you see me on the 2X or the 13, smile and do a little jig for me, ok? We'll be friends for life.
