my work week began and ended with dudes on the subway droning along to hip hop on their headphones. monday morning’s dude was performing a song that was rather nsfc (not safe for commute), involving the rhyming of “bitch” with “rich” and other things I’d genuinely not like to repeat. friday evening’s dude was less grating, while still horribly monotonous. sure, the songs aren’t necessarily sung, but a little inflection here and there is nice.

then on a late friday night/early saturday morning ride home, the official weekend was heralded by a guy tunelessly belting along to show tunes on his headphones. I’m pretty sure he was not only singing along but envisioning some extravagant, choreographed sequence in his head. thankfully he only rode one stop. it kind of reminded me of that scene from freaks and geeks.
