I do not have an awesome subway post, but enjoy my experience riding a bus from NYC to Syracuse, NY. This is a DM twitter conversation I had with a good friend of mine: Me: Dude across the aisle from me is watching some OH WOE IS ME FOR I AM A WHITE BOY…

Swallowing Down Her Pain
She looks like she is swallowing down her pain one sour and bitter mouthful at a time, her eyes downcast, holding her red (p)leather purse with black polka dots tightly. Her left hand is wrapped around the handle and her right is curled under the bottom, securing it in her lap. Her coat is a…
Pale Eyes
Pale eyes, dark hair, but the curls that are peeking out from under his backwards baseball cap are bleached blond. He is wearing Skeleton fingerless gloves and his nails are painted black. He has a lip piercing and one in his right eyebrow. He is smirking at his phone, but he is really laughing at…

Thanks Levi
She knew he had a 34 inch waist and a 32 inch inseam thanks to his butt. The little tag right over the curve of his ass that was not hidden by his dark leather belt was tan and a stark contrast to his tight dark blue jeans.
