Homeless people are people too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be a short post but I had to mention it....I went for a walk on my lunch break yesterday and saw a homeless man sitting on a bench...he wasn't asking for change, he was just sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette...all of a sudden a man stops to take a photo of him. I don't care if this man was a photographer or a random person...YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE SOMEONE'S PHOTO WITHOUT PERMISSION!!!!!!!!!! I asked the 'so-called' photographer what he has just done...he began to laugh and said he was taking pictures. I then asked why he hadn't asked the homeless man if he could take his photo. He answered "who cares, he's homeless." That ticked me off royally!!!!!!!!! I wanted to slap him but I answered "does that mean he's not a person?" He stumbled on his words and didn't know what to say....I was so upset I just wanted to break his camera....I just walked away and said "grow up."

More GO train FUN! lol

it's funny how I always have stories to tell about my rides home from downtown toronto...here's today's story....

First of all, let me begin with this: I am seriously considering sitting on the roof of the train to avoid listening to idiots and their convos...seriously hitch me on top of the train...I'd be happy!

So let's begin...I find a seat next to 3 women who are immersed in conversation (it seems they work together)....I'm not particularly happy sitting next to a bunch of chatters but hey, I found a seat and I don't feel like standing....one girl is discussing her wedding plans and the house that she and her fiancee have bought...hmmmmm....all sounds innocent enough...WRONG! She is whining and complaining about her bridesmaids and their lack of commitment to her...hmmmmm...that's funny I thought it was her wedding...ohh well...I guess bridesmaids should be called "bank machines" or "taxi drivers".....well anyways...as annoying as her convo was it only got worse....you can already tell this is the kind of girl who thinks the earth, and all the planets align around her...She even kept looking over at me....perhaps she needed to let me know that she was in fact, the GO train Princess....

fast forward 20 minutes....she's still talking...dear God...now we've moved on to what her life will be like once she's married with children...she says she will have her first child right ..away because she wants to have her first child by the time she's 22..ummmmmm...just how old is she?!? and she will no longer be working she says because as she put it "after I'm married, I shouldn't be working anyways"... .....wow...so much for the woman's lib movement...just take me back 100 years....
One thing I hate more than anything in this world is women who depend on men...Ignorant, classless women who know nothing of culture or the world around them. Yes marriage and children is something most women do...but it shouldn't be the basis of their lives...and I'm sorry...but it shouldn't happen at 22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
