I've lived in the Chicago area for about six months and I [like many people] commute to work by the CTA trains. I can get to just about anywhere in the city without needing a car - I have lived in cities where public transportation was non-existent, so I was stoked. I learned quickly that instead of worrying about whether or not I was going to get shot in the face, I should be wondering about who would amuse or piss me off that day. I've finally decided to write about the hilarious things I see or experience because most of the time, it's too good not to share.
A few things that have happened/i've seen before are :
At least two dudes have burped in my face...one was a crazy homeless dude...and the other was some suit clicking away on his Blackberry.
I have been "holla'd" at by dudes, including CTA employees on the clock. My favorites were the guy who told me he could show me the world. He told me that right after he just set up a date with a girl on the phone. The other was a train operator who slowed down and stared at me while he pulled into Clark and Lake.
I always heard talk about people peeing in the subway/on the train. On monday, IT HAPPENED - I was about to get on the escalator to exit the red line subway, when some dude was peeing next to it. It was 6pm.
My favorite wingut subway performer is the dude with the stuffed tiger [it wears bling!] - the guy raps to eye of the tiger and jams out. I try to take spy pictures of him b/c he fasinates me.

So, my goal is to blog about the stuff I find noteable. Like when some broad decides to stank up the entire car with some ribz. gotta love it.
