"Crippled"

Over here just chilling on the Marta train, thinking about when the hell I'm gonna get my car back... Its going on 2 months since my cousin showed up from DC, worked his magic on my car and left for DC under 72 hrs leaving me with my feet to get around... (And to think I was just about to sell it and get another... Just my luck)

It sucks not having a car considering where I live... (A little town called Loganville). I really dont have a problem taking public transport anyway, I was a pro at it back in Nigeria where u had to perform a Spartakus act to get on the buses. (I'm sure a lot of u remember . I even parked my car on somedays just so I could explore public transportation in this city of Atlanta when I still had a job downtown.

Problem now is this city I live in has NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. It is one of the cities in Georgia where the saying "you are crippled if you dont have a car" holds true. Apparently, Gwinnett in addition to some other counties refused to join in the Marta program years ago. Yup! They decided together to screw up an immigrant that loved public transportation, who would come to their country lots of years later to live in Gwinnett and one day not have his car. Yup, they screwed me up.

Their excuse was bringing transport to our counties will increase the crime rate. I wonder how thats working for them these days... The same counties now have their own transport systems today that have found one way or the other to "connect" with Marta so people can get around...

Unfortunately, their transport systems do not cover everywhere and my doorstep is one of the uncovered places so for almost two months, I have been crippled.

But I really have had excellent crutches to get me around and I'm lucky I have mord than thd max two crutches that every person who has injuries that hinder them from walking usually have. By crutches, I mean friends. Friends who have been there for me in the past two months. Their kindness in form of rides, letting me use their cars or even letting me chill at their abodes, impeding their own comforts and all other acts mean so much to me. I cant start to name all of you but you all know yourselves and I thank you all and I pray that BIG GUY upstairs will bless you all and grant you all your pure hearts desires and continue to meet you all at your points of need.

Amen.

I'm sitting on a train right now cuz one of you guys dropped me here, I have almost exhausted my data plan,for the month, otherwise I would be on twitter rambling away.... I could actually text to tweet from my phone but what's the fun in that? I dont even get to tweet watch!!! That will change though, when I get to my wireless destination. One would think Marta buses and trains would be hotspots by now.... But oh well.

You gotta love Marta though. U never know what u r gonna get. Somedays, its comedy and on some others, its drama, sometimes its stories and on some others, its just the sexy view that might be standing right across from you on the train... (I aint no stalker though.. Haha). Today, it just happened to be knowledge from an older lady who I can bet has been riding Marta since before my fetal self had dreams of Coming to America. I'll probably tweet about her later.... Maybe. They even still got a Rozay Reebok commercial still running on their miniscreens...

Did I mention that we have fine weather outside???

Repairs have finally begun on my car and I should be fully healed this weekend. Its been a trying couple months but still, I stay THANKFUL .... I think my "turn up meter" also got a refill so u might just catch me out there somewhere this weekend...

Well, about to get off this train to get on this bus to get to work and do it all over again when I get off unless I can persuade one of my "crutches" to come through for me again....

I'm out!!!
