I ride the bus because it's a greener method of transportation and I enjoy doing my bit to save the planet!
Bullshit phase over. Reality phase starts...
I ride the bus because it's cheap and easy and I don't like driving on the wrong side of the road. Sure I drive - I just don't like it. I enjoy my 5 minute walk to the bus station and more than anything I am starting to really enjoy listening to people on the bus. It's a mad-house on wheels. It's life jammed in to a rolling box. I adore it. I missed my stop the other day just so I could finish listening to the convo behind me.
Making my way home last night was fab... I learned that evil lives across the bridge in England. I learned that you never know 'who's about' after dark' there, and that if your past the age of 80 the bus driver doesn't care if you have your ticket or not. Great ain't it? In the whole few weeks I have been in Wales, I never realised how lucky I was to have safely crossed the Severn bridge...
I discovered the other morning (whilst listening in) that to get anything done right in this world, you can't ask a man. I also learned that as long as your boyfriend says he's sorry and buys you a pressie, it's ok if he shags your mates. I learned that you should never piss off the blonde who is cutting your hair downtown...
I found out that Judith (whom I don't know but I hope rides the bus one day with me!) is not nervous at all, despite the fact she is 85. She doesn't even keep her key in her pocket and she even crosses the bridge to Bristol to shop sometimes...
I think that I may have tapped in to a new line of wisdom and insight... you may expect more of this from my travels via bus to Cwmbran!
Stay tuned...
