Boredom.....and some crazy women.

Just finishing up few days off work, and while for many its an exciting time, for me its rather boring. I realized today that daytime television truly sucks ass. Nothing on, except shows like he View. Oh my God! These women, all talking at the same time, makes me think of a chicken coop, with hens cackling at each other. The noise is excruciating. Thats been another thing that bothrs the hell out of me. Noise, such as a cellphone ringing. Whats worse is when you're having a conversation with someone and suddenly their cellphone rings, and then they answer the phone, and chats for a half hour, all the while you're stuck there waiting patiently for them to finish talking about some mundane shit so they can get back to what we were discussing before. Or when you want to focus on something, and everyone around you is yakking on their phones. GRRR. I know I need a cell phone..but I guess I've been holding off the inevitable, and added extra bill I'd have to pay.
Now the funny shit is that a cell phone woulda been really useful to me last week when I left work. It was approximately 1pm thereabouts, and I was going to have a quick smoke as I walked the one block to the bus stop. A few out of towners stopped to ask for directions, and whn I finished with them, I waited at the corner for the light to change so I could cross the street. Suddenly I hear, "Hey! Hey come here!"..I turned my head to the right and notice 2 strung out women were advancing towards me. They didn't look just drunk. They looked like they were strung out on crack. And I knew they wanted one one of my smokes...two if they could get it. And ladies and gents....that was NOT going to happen. I work hard and I pay for my own habit. And I decided to turn left and walk down the street because the damned light wouldn't change. I hear a more frantic.."HEY!!! HEYYYY!" and I look back to find, with alarm, that they are breaking into a RUN. Fortunately, they didn't run very fst, and I started walking at a brisk pace..the whole time my heart is beating hard and fast in my chest. I realized that I was having a mild panic attack. I had to find a place to duck into, so I went into the Bargain Store. I explained to the clerk what was happening and she kept an eye out for me as I dissapeared down an aisle. A few minutes later I came out of hiding and seeing that the women had given up the search, I thanked the clerk for helping me out and went to go catch the bus. I was hyperventilating a little and the panic attack didn't pass until I made it to the West Side. So I think that if I'd had a cell phone on me I coulda called the cops, but even then what could they really do? It really pisses me off actually. And my panic attack was due to the fact that I'm mildly claustrophobic...I especially can't handle people crowding me. In fact the only people Ifeel comfortable standing close to me are those who are in my inner circle. Anyhoo..thats all the excitement I have to report at present. How was your week? Catch ya later!
