Longest train ride EVAR!

June 19th, 2008

I was on the 6 train scrolling through my crackberry, yes, I’m on crack.
Then this guy next to me, (who’s clad in green with a green do-rag, and looks like one of those bike messengers) says “which one is that?” I said, “oh, its the curve” thinking that he was referring to what kind of blackberry I had. But he was actually pointing to the book I was holding – (which I hold more than read)
Me: Oh, its (and I show him), btw its “search engine optimization for dummies” , yes I am a geek
Green Man: oh is that about starting your own search engine
Me: Um, no, its about making your website rank well within search engines.
Green Man: Can’t you pay someone to do that?
Me: Yeah, but you can also do it yourself.
(awkward silence…..lalalala)
Green Man: Is this the express?
Me: No, this is the local.
Green Man: Oh I thought this was the express..
(another awkward silence…Jeopardy music cues)
Green Man: Do you have a web site?
(I’m laughing in my head and I decide not to tell him that I in fact do have one.. and I’m in quite the predicament hahhhaha)
Me: No, I’m still thinking of ideas…
Green Man: Oh, I had an idea, but the name was taken(he mumbles some name)
Me: Oh that’s cool
Green Man: Aw man I shouldn’t have told you..
(not that I remember or know what he said)
Me: Why? I aint gonna steal it
At this point, I’m dying to get off this train, and it seems like forever since this poor sap, who I’m only assuming is trying to hit on me, is failing miserably to make small talk.
Finally my stop..he still yapping away and I’m getting off the train…
Me: it was nice…..meeting you —–NOT
