I havent posted in a while simply because I think im going through a dull period. I guess its called writers block or whatever, Ive just been uninspired. Why is it that Im always feeling like I have forty things to say or none at all? But anyway...
I was stuck at 5:00 yesterday on Park Avenue and 46th after a grueling day, I needed to get to my car on Park and 32st, of course no cabs. I flag an off duty town car, he says 20 dollars, I look at him and say WHAT? I offer ten, he says 15? I say NO, he zooms off. STRANDED. I looked down at my legs and realized that my dress was quite short and that hailing a cab would show a bit more skin than I felt like showing. It was no time to sweat that though. I saw an off duty cab and motioned that I just needed a straight ride down, he waved me in. This dude was amazing. He turned on his meter and lit his cigarette. I almost died. This dude was my hero, I asked if it was ok if I had a smoke after my grueling day and he said " why not, I am? need a light?" I smiled and thanked him for making me smile for the first time all day. As he dropped me off and I opened the door, a cute girl in pants asked if he'd take her downtown, he said, "sorry, im off duty" Dresses always prevail.
PS- my fare was 6 dollars, I gave him 9, screw that town car freak.
Oh and by the way...
My license ordeal is still screwed, I got a notice from the DMV apologizing that my picture didnt process and that I need to go back.... Im speechless about this one. Prepare for STOPPPPP ITTTT Part II.

The cab hero! love it! Do they know they have this opportunity?! My friends and I grab a cab - guy's ready for it all. Got the reggae flowing, got the mood on. This guy is starting great nights. Yes he got a huge tip. Yes we still remember that ride.
Oh yeah, he forgot to turn on the meter!
