Eccentric Encounters on Trax

Hello All, I was trying to think of a clever explanation for my lack of "blogging" but much like the writer's room in seasons 5,6, 8 and most of 9, of the The Office, I am coming up empty.

Anyways, major things that have changed in my life since my last blog post are marriage and a new job. Marriage is still awesome and amazing, highly recommend for anyone and everyone. At the very least people should find a person they can forever crack the same cheesy jokes with. Mutual jokes are one of the support pillars in my marriage and I mean that in a genuinely happy way.

The second change brings me to this post, I have started a new job where I no longer can take UTA Trax to work everyday. While this new job is nice and great, I do miss the colorful situations public transportation has put me in. I have had lots of wonderful experiences like running into old friends, meeting nice old ladies, and saving tons of money on gas, but for the most part I have found myself in more "complex" and "interesting" scenarios on the train. For instance on my penultimate trax trip I had to walk through a crime scene investigation because a jay-walker got hit by a truck while crossing against a green light, word is that the jaywalker survived.  For the more humorous scenarios see my list below.

"Interesting" Trax Encounters

• Being asked out by a small smelly man who came to Utah for the music "scene".
• A lecture on the pseudoscience "Mathematical Morality" and its relation to criminal activity.
• Girl on a phone call where she revealed to her mother, her intentions to seduce her bisexual male friend along with her quest to amicably remove her name from church records.
• Way too many guys asking their female study mates on dates and getting passive aggressively turned down. 
• A hipstery couple borrowing/almost stealing my cell phone to call their music biz "contact." (Does UT really have a happening music scene?)
• People trying to sell me Trax tickets even though I have already boarded the train.
• Adult twin sisters who still dressed the same.
• Non ticket payers pretending to be "asleep" when UTA personnel  come by to check tickets.
• Last but not least a girl yelling at her boyfriend to "stop all this Necrophilia" stuff. I really hope she was talking about a computer/video game for the sake of us all.

If you have read this, thank you for indulging me.  Hope to have more blog posts to come and on a regular basis.
