craziness

The students are back. with a vengence.

One night 12 frat and sorority types climbed in my van. We dropped the girls`off and som basketball players were in the car in front of us. Eventually they were blocking the one lane roadway. On of my boys recognized the player as from last year and cryed out "you suck". Apparently the guy finished and did not go pro and is fairly angry about it, because him and his friend went ballistic. It was a no fist fight and shouting match worthy of a late night street version of the Jerry Springer Show. But I was more like Dr. Phil. I was telling the boys to get back in my car, and the ball players to get in their car and leave, as I had called the campus police about the disturbance. Eventually, like when the light turns green in a chinese fire drill, everyonne got back in their cars, and we drove off, and I dropped my off at their frat house.

[this is a BASH related ride tale] Bash is the nick name for one of the frat guys I drive around. It was his roommate and bros, that were involved in the fight.

New Look

I picked up a cheap barn hat not too long ago, and it redifined my look. Its a wire rimed straw cowboy hat. I curled up the sides, and have subsequently grown a beard. For some reason it is filling a lot of peoples fantasies.

A few weeks ago, I was at a little sidewalk cafe hotspot, and some charles atlas guy was staring me down. He was sitting with two other guys I recognized, but was certain he was looking at Kim, the brunette next to me.

Everytime I glanced his way his eyes were boring right through me. As he left, he asked me if that was my cab behind me. When I agreed, he asked me if I had a card. "In case I ever need a ride", he said. That was unusual. It is not unusual for someone to ask for a ride in that way, but cards are usually asked for by people that either already know me, or have already ridden in my cab.

I suspected this guy was really just asking me for my number, and I stated as such to the table after I returned. And I was right. Not more than thirty minutes later did he call me and asked if I wanted to fool around.

I cannot commit to words how hot this guy is, and he was pursuing me. Needless to say, we made plans.
