and today, this is what unsettled me.

in today’s urban society, the smart phone has replaced the boom box, but not in a pleasant way. instead of vibrating sweet beats like the fresh prince of bel-air once did, your music comes out staticy, the curse words almost muffled to the children sitting seats behind you. my phone can play music too, and here i was thinking i was conforming opting for the civilized set of headphones to accompany my tunes. if they wanted music to play on the bus, they’d throw on some billy idol or coldplay. do not take it upon yourself to be the mbta’s personal dj, because children, you fucking suck at it.
