Yesterday was my first day taking advantage of the public transportation. Yes the same transit system that was often deemed the lonely poor mans way around. This I have different thoughts on. Yes I get to work an hour early and I save a ton of gas in doing so but the mere social aspect of it can go both ways. I don't have a car right now due to transmission failure so this is my only viable option. Unfortunately it's 7 miles from my house so the thought of purchasing a bike is likely. This comes at a time where my health has been thought of and running, eating right and taking better care of myself was being planned. Now that said car is diabled my excerise will be apparent and my other goals will follow. Yes this will save the money needed to fix my car. I expect this will happen for about two to three months which might be a burden for my roommate.
The bus rides have been interesting to say the least. The mornings have been quiet, only a couple people here and there. And what appears to be a few college students for Bakersfield, other than that the morning rides are quiet. The afternoon rides are different, at least there is Internet service at the bus stop and I can be occupied while waiting. Yesterday what made me giggle is that one guy that has headphones on listening to his favorite music only to make sure he tells everyone else what he's listening to. Seriously?? The bus is a karaoke on wheels?? I continued to laughed to myself because he only said key chorus words out loud which made the song even more unbearable. Ugggg the occational "g" or "bitch" made the trip go a little quicker. The many thoughts running through my head to shut this guy up and or how I can market this for my retirement plan hmmmm. As time goes on I guess I will find things to occuipy my mind for this hour long trip. This morning I had my iPod and after I get a bike illnhave my backpack full of goodness who knows what I can do.
Well I think I will blog my bus trips and the adventures I will be having these next couple of days. How I got here and where I'm going. And besides I have new interests to chat about. Twitter has been good to me these last couple of days, interesting people to say the least.
