WHAT THE HELL?!?!
On Thursday evening, i headed towards the bus stop to make my way up to school for pan practice. I get on the bus and stand a little behind the driver. Two guys are standing at the door of the bus and having a big conversation with the driver. (i look up and notice a sign above their heads that states "Please do not speak to the driver" but i guess that was of no consequence). Throughout the journey i realise this driver looking to his left a few times with a weird look on his face. I think "ok it must be the convo". Then i realise what, or rather who, he is looking at. There is a girl standing across from me that looks as if she has just started 1st form, IF SHE IS THAT OLD!! He tries calling to the girl...Psst. I am in shock and a part of me still wants to think that he knows this girl and is just calling to her to get her attention, all innocent and everything. :S The girl does not look up. He reaches a stop light and proceeds to tear off a piece of a bus ticket and WRITE A NOTE TO THIS LITTLE GIRL!!! WHAT?!?!?! Something in me was about to snap and i probably would have taken something (like my shoe) and hit this driver across his face (I remember thinking that the glass was protecting him so i know how upset i was). I think what kept me sane was that the girl did not even look his way. (Yay a small victory for mankind). But my problem is what happens when he tries calling to a girl that will look up?
What happens when he promises the world to such a girl? Our children are being stalked!! It was sickening to witness this big ol' crufty bredda looking a girl that probably has not entered the teenage world as yet. When will this end??

Don't forget the sign that also says 'Do not stand beyond the red line.'
What can I say. It's a sad, perverted world we live in. One day last summer I jumped in a bus to Constant Spring, from Half Way Tree. As the bus was moving off a young girl stopped it and jumped in. She stood by the door, looked in, and immediately realized that the bus had ony men, about 10 of us (which I hadn't noticed at all). She jumped off and said 'Mi nah travel wid so much man.' Inside I applauded her sense of responsibility. One very calm looking man who sat across me suddenly developed a temper tantrum. He stuck his head out the window, looked back at the girl who was now at least 30 feet away, and shouted 'Gweh, a lesbian yuh waan ride wid!'
It's a sad world we live in.
Sad indeed, but what i cant understand is, how can such behaviour be accepted?
Yeah, we've failed ourselves somewhere.
