Why Hello There ^_^ I actually went to work today and I'M GLAD I DID. My morning started with some kind of commotion on the N train which forced me to take the the R train. I rarely take the R train to work in the morning but it's weird how things fall into place for me sometimes. I did not notice this woman sitting across from me till it was too late. She was feeling ill and you could tell that by the look on here face but i was trying to figure out what she was looking for in her bag. In an instant she started to pukeand i wish i could have gave her a bag to spare her clothes from the vomit. I was appalled by the reactions of several passengers they moved like the fucking speed of light. Jumping to get away from her...I could not believe it! Insensitive assholes and thier comments that followed. Anyways the woman was trying so hard to move away from people she continued to vomit more . By the time i reached her she had stopped but started crying. I gave her as many napkins i had on me and a bag for her jacket and purse. I tried to comfort her and let her know that it was natural for your body to break down ...try not to be embarassed it's just unfortunate it happened in front of people. I can't imagine how she must have felt. I walked her off the next stop on the train ...I think it was 23rd street in Manhattan. I wet a few paper towels that i had from the water i pack with my lunch and she kinda of smiled as she put it on her head. Some of the idiots that made comments got off the train due to the smell i guess cause they just fucking stared at me like they were high or something. I felt like clocking this one couple in particular ...the fucking faces they were making. Lke oooh... oh my god face! Anyways, I offerd her some change for the payphone but she declined. I gave her a bottle of water i had in my cooler told her to feel better and she patted me on the arm and walked away. I felt so bad for her as she cried walking away ...it might have not been so bad for her i think if it was not for the assholes on the train. Making her feel like a leper or something. I must say for September 11th 2002 was not going smoothly for me . I mean feeling the faith in people helping one another. I thought about that woman during my workday ...how she was feeling and whatnot. I just finished watching the concert for the heroes tonight...It kinda of lifted my spirits a little. I needed to vent that here...thanks . Ciao For Now People and Peace Out. p.s. the new picture posted is from what i call my own " Goonie" Mountain. To those who read the past journal entries this is the air pocket i tried to describe. From the Land Of O ...This is Paulie O ^_^
