Sky train

I seldom drive into Vancouver. There are a couple of reasons for this... the gas in my cute little lunch buggy is ridiculous! Seriously 70 dollars to fill the tank?? I gotta take it in its making some kind of strange sound.  Another reason is that I don't like city driving. I don't want to pay parking... where I park its cheap (no I'll never tell str8 up, people keep trying to one up me on low traffic areas)... and really... sometimes I just want to be... not concentrate on other drivers trying to arrive alive!!

But yes, the sky train...that is, after all what I am writing about...

Last week I met some girls on the train... I recall their names and their faces... cloe, Susan, Ali and (shit... I lied.... I forget a name....) they were off to the Madonna concert all beautiful and young.  I wish I were young like that :-)

These beautiful girls seem to flock together don't they.... its like mercury in a thermometer isn't it??   Here they were.... Ali's red shorts and matching red lipstic.... Cloe's dark hair... the classic beauty of Susan... the girl who's name escapes me.... so beautiful.... I once knew q girl who looked like that... her name was carol... I thought... as a heavy girl, that she was a snob.... and so I avoided her... it turned out that she liked me from afar... silly assumptions. 

The girl on the end gave me the idea for this post.... as I read my Facebook pretending to ignore these beautiful girls I heard her say in a manly voice... BEFORE I BECAME A MAN"

These girls were all of the things I grew up being jealous of.... and yet in the back of my mind...carol speaks to me...reminding me that looks can be deceiving and discriminating against beautiful girls because of their beauty is the same as discriminating against me on the basis of my being heavy...

So, ladies... thank you for being beautiful... thank you for being you and thank you for reminding me that not everything is as it seems.
