People: Ya Gotta Stop Jumping in Front of Trains
NY Daily News – A person was fatally struck by a Metro-North train in the Bronx Monday afternoon, sources said.The person was hit at about 3:30 p.m. by a northbound train passing through the Botanical Garden station at Bedford Park and Kazimiroff Blvds., MTA spokeswoman Meredith Daniels said.
Sources said the death was likely a suicide. The person’s name and gender has not yet been released.MTA officials are shutting down train service on two of the four tracks at that station, which will cause delays on Metro-North’s Harlem and New Haven lines, Daniels said.

You know my series of blogs “if you do x, you deserve to die?” Welp. This is the one exception. Because in this case, dying is WAY too quick, painless and easy. How selfish do you have to be to knowingly jump in front of a train and cost thousands of people hours of delays? Of all the places to kill yourself, you have to do it 1) right before rush hour and 2) on the main artery in/out of Grand Central that affects all three train lines. If you’re going tojump in front of a train in the first place, at least use your head about it, like killing yourself some other way. You’re going to make a couple ofthose poor commuters in Grand Central kill themselves next and then this will be a daily occurrence.
SoI have a solution:
The MTA Can Blow Me With Their Toll Gates
I was driving over the Whitestone Bridge tonight and some asshole in front of us didn’t have enough money on his EZPass. The fucking toll gate was down and it caused a backup for 5 minutes. We had to wait for some asshole MTA traffic cop to come over, get his license plate and manually override the gate.
You fucking idiots. It’s 2015. Why is this necessary. Remove the God damn gates and put cameras up. Can’t you see how much money this will save? Just let them through, take a picture of their plates and send them a bill in the mail. If they don’t pay, fine them and don’t let them renew the registration on the car until it’s paid. Idiots. You’ll make more money that way.
- The gates use unnecessary electric to move them up and down, which is a waste of money and pollutes the environment.
- They are mechanical and can break, which means you need to pay some asshole overtime to fix them.
- You won’t need to pay as many MTA traffic cops to sit there and get union benefits and make more pension money after they’re retired than entry level professionals do.
- You won’t cause traffic backups
Everyone wins. Remove the fucking gates and put cameras in. No wonder the tolls go up every 20 minutes. Christ, the MTA is backwards. Port Authority bridges don’t have toll gates. What is this 1950?
Ticketmaster Sucks and Sends Shitty Email Reminders
I fucking hate Ticketmaster and they can blow me. If you want to know why, educate yourself what aboutPearl Jam did 20 years ago. Today, their website is absolutely heinous, super corporate, and not fun to use. The UI looks like asshole. The fees are out of control. They charge you for every little shit. It’s ridiculous. And then they pull this shit:
I look at my Gmail inbox and got super confused:
September 21st? That’s today’s date. This show isn’t today. Knowing that I’m a scatterbrained asshole, did I overbook something? Nope. Ticketmaster just sucks. I open the email and they put today’s date in the header like they’re writing me a fucking letter. For real? Don’t they know Gmail summarizes shit onto one line? It makes it SUPER confusing. Idiots. Put onedate in the fucking email. The date of the event. That’s it.
PS – Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready will probably make me cry

Portfolioso
Typical millennial hipsters doing hipster things. This is the polar opposite of what I want when I go for some ice cream. Hey guys, let’s eat some gross tasting charcoal coconut slop just because it looks cool. Absolutely not. “But it’s so unique and abnormal so let me go dish out $500 because I’m one of the cool kids.”
We’re screwed. Absolutely screwed. We’ve got a couple clown shops running for president and now all the LES hipsters running around thinking it’s cool to eat this sloppy, disgusting, overpriced mud. Oh yeah, and all the tabloids and local news just aired it tonight, so free advertising
