and i'm back in the game...

on the 5 fulton bus on the way to campus i saw a cat make $80 in 5 minutes. no really.

i just got in from the greyhound and was taking a bus on the way to campus, maxing out with my window seat and cd player tuned to jimi hendrix's "all along the watchtower".

by the way...that song is fucking amazing to listen to while rolling through downtown san francisco.

anyway i see this cute girl and her dude board the bus. i could tell she went to my school because i noticed she flashed the bus driver a usf id (but you know he was wishing she flashed him something else). they sit right in front of me on the row of seats lining the bus wall. she's kinda in this "urban" vintage type fit. he looked like he just walked out of anchor blue with a big, red skateboarding hoodie, jeans, and skate shoes. i'm kinda staring out the window, watching pedestrians, seeing beauty at a bustop when i see the dude start fishing for money. i look and see this guy holding a five star binder with three bottle caps on it. they're playing that pea under a nutshell/three card monte game. sorry jimi, but this is getting interesting...

i slip off the headphones and listen into their conversation. turns out another dude is playing with them too. so the "dealer" was hella hustling them. i was just amazed at how fluid he was. i caught most of his slight of hand but was more impressed with how he kept everything moving and how he would suck ppl into playing the game. girl and guy were left hella confused that they didn't seem to mind dropping $40 on the dealer. when the dealer failed at getting another woman to play, he hopped off the bus. i think he noticed me catching him a couple times on his "slips" cause he shot me this look through the window that felt like he was saying "that's how you do it, those folks are idiots."

I was watching Dick Clark's ROCKIN' New Year's Eve last night, and I was annoyed by Regis Philbin's commentary. He wasn't saying anything that offended me, he was just talking too damn much. They should take a cue from sports announcers who know how let the crowd tell the story after a big play. They know how to stay away from overtalking. The ball had 10 seconds to go and all I could hear was, "Wow! Isn't this great? That's a fine looking ball." Shut up Regis! I'd rather be hearing the 2 million + people in Times Square count it down. I think next year, the should hire Marv Albert and have him end with a big "YESSSS!!!" once the ball drops.
