How did you do that?

 

First you need a tow truck....

Next, Go to the long bridge that has the rail line at the same level as the road... It's near your HQ

Blow up the lead subway car with a rocket launcher then hook up your tow truck to the second subway car... (As odd as that sounds, you can tow a subway car on the streets)

Take your new subway car anywhere you want too! However you can't store it in the garage... Also no way to operate it... I just did it for fun....

By the way, the game is Saint's Row 2.

Got a good LOL out of this....

I would like to thank the city of Stillwater and the Stillwater TA for "Donating" a subway car to me....

LOL at Joel's post...

I think there is someone in staten island specifially breaking the pull cords on the xd40s..

tell me why the hell...

pull cords are broken...doesnt make no sense

Folks who ride those buses absolutely have no respect for buses.... Plus people keep pulling those cords too hard...

You got animals on the bus...duh!!

LOL. True, True....

Now that's a surprise, over at TU it's a sad story. No power and no acceleration, awful ride, nothing. The 5520-5560s are some of the slowest buses I've ridden, always have been. Even Quill's buses run pretty slowly, and the WF buses are no better. I could be biased cause I'm used to dealing with TU where even the older D60s are disasters, but the 1000s always treated me better. Even 1107 at the very end, bus flew, same with 5355 and the oldest 1999s. Maybe it just has to do with the environment, I'd think KB buses get beaten to death though.

Haven't ridden a TU bus in a long while.... I'll take your word for it though... Yeah, KB buses do get beaten to death... Trust me... The 40 footers are in a bit better shape than the artics...

I wonder why none of the BxM or X routes are shown on the Manhattan bus map...

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

LOL... Oh I've got pics.

Nice!

If you or anyone sees 913, please let me know. Im looking to catch it before it gets scrapped

 

913 isn't up here in the Bronx but if I ever see it, I'll be sure to let you know.

Can anyone confirm something for me, I think I saw 942 on either the B68 or the B4 yesterday or the day befOre, can anyone confIrm that it is back from West Farms?

 

Nah... I saw 942 on the Bx32 yesterday at around 13:00...

Finally caught one of the old C40LF's at WF! Saw it on the Bx31. B) Number was 855.

On a side note, last night, they were shooting off fireworks like crazy. I'm like "Damn, you guys are a little late". I heard some really loud pops and was checking to see where they were coming from, and I saw a few flashes and then just a bunch of smoke.

 

Yeah I hear that! In my area, Some idiots didn't use up all of their July 4th fireworks it seems....

Lol i just said that R62As wont retun back to the line until late 2013 when the Flushing extension opens 8 diff sets of R188s are supposed to be in service by when it opens so 8 sets of R62As are supposed to be back on the the and trains switched usually by going thru kawasakis plant in yonkers then thru the old south ferry loop and you had axess to the and

 

Dude what are you talking about? As other posters mentioned, There is NO physical connections from NYC's subway to the Kawasaki plant in Yonkers and vice-versa.....

Just putting this out there: When subway cars are delivered from the Kawasaki plant, They are brought in through flatbed trucks... Had there been an actual connection, Wouldn't you think they would bring the cars by track?

Lol, I usually stick to older games...

 

Lol. I respect that... I like the older games too but the older ones aren't on portable systems

heh... that's why I miss the days of simply shutting the console off & starting that particular game in the schedule over....

Used to stay getting phantom injuries playing season mode in ESPN NHL Hockey (2k4).....

 

Yeah me too... I love playing this basball game (MLB Featuring Ken Griffey Jr.) I have on the N64... The game was simple to play and I love that about it... I still don't know how I got those injuries... Very weird to me...

 

 

LOL... Actually when I was a kid, I wrote to several of the depots asking for their sticker and a lot of them sent me one back including Kingsbridge. Unless management has become complete douchebags, you should be able to get something.

 

I had Yukon, Castleton, Casey Stengel, Manhattanville, Amsterdam, 100th Street (Uncle worked as a B/O there so he got a hat and sticker), Ulmer Park (from a B/O friend that I used to ride with on the B4), and Fresh Pond Depot's sticker. I didn't for some depot stickers so I didn't write to all of them and some didn't reply back (i.e. Jackie Gleason, Mother Clara Hale Depot and Coliseum).

 

I will say some depots should get new logos... Depots that have/had BORING logos... Flatbush (by far the most plain thing to look at), East New York (that orange is just hideous), and Gun Hill (what is up with that yellow and weird design)? The Kingsbridge Depot logo isn't bad, but could be updated once again. I remember the older logo and this one is better, but they should update the bus and bridge. Could be really cool looking. The Tuskegee logo is much more meaningful and interesting to look at then that dumb apple with the bus... Was very bland.

 

Here's my opinion:

Flatbush: It may be plain but it has a RTS. Can't go wrong with a RTS...

East New York: I like it but I'll have to agree about the orange...

Gun Hill: I disagree. I really like it. It's really nice...

Kingsbridge: I like the current one but the old KB sticker was a bit better...

Side note: I've actually wanted to collect Depot stickers but It would be hard since I'm not a MTA worker yet...

Just finished playing MLB 12 the show on my PS Vita and some how my character in the RTTS (Pitcher) suffered a head fracture.... I wasn't even hitting at the time... I was pitching and suddenly my character starts moving his arm a lot and I'm like, Great an arm injury..... But when I checked my injury, It was a head fracture.... Total BS...

I was put on the 60 day DL for 6 months plus and I missed the rest of the season.... My first injury in the game was a pulled groin and I was out for a few days... I missed the damn playoffs too because of the head injury... Seems I recovered quicker than expected because I'm ready for spring training...

 

 

I hope I don't end up getting that. I looked it up and it said it's sometimes called ""policeman's heel", so I assume it has something to do with being on your feet for long periods of time. So hopefully walking these longer distances and getting a job at a fast-food restaurant won't lead to these problems. I mean, I am a little bit flatfooted, so I don't know how that affects it (I mean, it says that it occurs when you have too much of an arch, so I guess that's not a problem for me).

 

In any case, I've been walking a lot since I was little. My family used to walk to the aquarium and the rides in Coney Island, which were about a mile or mile-and-a-half from our apartment, so we're used to it. (We also used to walk to Sheepshead Bay and everything, which was also kind of far)

 

And here's a few Google StreetView images of the area I'm referring to:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Heberton+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.629181,-74.139433&spn=0.008436,0.022745&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.768112,93.164063&oq=heberton+a&hnear=Heberton+Ave,+Staten+Island,+Richmond,+New+York+10302&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.629253,-74.13936&panoid=8bzdzGO-8iAr5XLjCir_Og&cbp=12,145,,0,0

Some people call this area "Port Richmond Center" or "Upper Port Richmond", because there is a difference between that area and the areas closer to Richmond Terrace. (Areas like this: https://www.google.com/maps?q=Heberton+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.638365,-74.135656&spn=0.000033,0.022745&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.768112,93.164063&oq=heberton+a&hnear=Heberton+Ave,+Staten+Island,+Richmond,+New+York+10302&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.638349,-74.135569&panoid=ZeMjrZxnhoVyvumvjnifTg&cbp=12,318.62,,0,0). I think a decent number of people know about the area by Decker Avenue, but even on the other side of Port Richmond Avenue, it's decent.

 

For instance, here:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=Heberton+Avenue,+New+York,+NY&hl=en&ll=40.635004,-74.137634&spn=0.008044,0.022745&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.768112,93.164063&oq=heberton+a&hnear=Heberton+Ave,+Staten+Island,+Richmond,+New+York+10302&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.635004,-74.137634&panoid=hjEic2v6MVn9yoJQhssFoA&cbp=12,350,,0,0 (this one is actually pretty far north. It's kind of on the borderline between the better and worse parts of Port Richmond).

 

Yeah, you really don't want that.... The way I get it treated is that I have to get cortisone injection on both of my feet.... It's good that you are able to walk that far... It leads to a healthier life style...

Ah I remember the aquarium... I used to go there on class trips when I was younger... Back when the used to run on the brighton line...

I can't see the images on my Ipad right now... When I get on my desktop, I'll be sure to check it out...

 

 

Never been there either, hoping to go sometime this summer.

 

 

A bit off topic, I am planning to get my learner's permit again since it expired last year and get my driver's license. Now I'm not one of those young fools that drive fast nor showoff out there. I just want to be a great safe driver like my dad is, avoid accidents at all costs and always drive cautiously and safely. My question is, is there anything I should know what to do while driving other than keeping the eyes on the road? I always buckle up, made it a habit already I just want a few pointers from experienced drivers as hopefully in the future I would like to go for a CDL either for a truck or bus.

 

Yeah, I would like to visit S.I soon too... If I go, I would like to fan over there... I also would like to check out the remains of the old north shore line...

That's good that you don't want to be like these fools who drive like idiots... I know how to drive just don't have my permit yet...

The DMV in Jamaica sucks, I waited 4 hours -___-

 

Never been to the DMV in Jamaica... Avoid the one in Harlem... That place is always packed... I usually go to the DMV that's on commerce ave here in the Bronx... It's not that bad over there...

 

 

Yeah, I was joking around. Like I said, I'm not spending hundreds of dollars on sneakers.....

 

As for the walking, you just gotta take it easy. I did the walk again today (though I went straight home and so the route was something like 3.7 miles). I took the side streets as long as possible and just enjoyed the trees and everything. As VG8 would say, I passed through the "affluent" part of Port Richmond too, on the southern end of Heberton Avenue (with a median income of over $85,000, it's just as "affluent" as any part of Westerleigh). On a side note, I actually outwalked the S44 from Broadway to Heberton Avenue.

 

Oh I know you were joking... I made a captian obvious joke to add to your joke lol...

If I walk that far, My feet start killing me... I have a foot condition called "plantar fasciitis" I can't walk that far without feeling pain...

I must admit, I've never been to S.I.... I might have to go over there to see for myself.

See, that's just it.... as a little kid playing baseball, I was never told 'bat from this side' or 'bat from that side'.... guess the way I stood at the plate from either side seemed natural..... matter fact, my fam' & friends of fam (that had kids that played along w/ me) marveled over the fact that I tried to hit the ball from both sides.... as long as I made contact with the ball, it was never a prollem.... of course, as time progressed, I ended up gettin better from either side.....

 

Heh, we are opposites in that regard, so it seems..... I'm more of a free swinger from the left side.....If you saw my bat move through the zone batting righty, there's a high chance contact would be made with the ball (fair or foul).... friends would always make little remarks like ______ 's (my name here) battin on the right side, he's serious now.... b/c with more than one man on base, more often than not, I'd bat righty.....

 

(from either side) I didn't get walked often (by way of 4 BB, I mean.... I would get HBP more than I did gettin walked by 4BB's), but to be honest, I hated getting walked.... felt like I didn't earn my way on with my bat.....

 

I learned from the right because I'm a righty by nature... I was so interested in learning to bat left that I tried it and kept practicing... Outside of baseball, I can write with my right and left... I tend to try to learn both righty and lefty...

Back in school, folks never knew I can switch hit until I did it... Batting lefty, The picther (friend of mines) Mocked me and was like, "Easy out" Man on second and on the first pitch, I crushed it to LF. Got the RBI double... I said "Easy hit"... Second at bat against him, Still batting left, I got walked... I said "Easy base"

I rarely get HBP... I just tend to move out of the way quick. I hate getting walked too because I didn't get a hit lol... But at the end of the day, I'm trying to help my team win in anyway I can.

your righty stance sounds somewhat like a mix of gary sheffield & kevin youkilis, sans the too too far apartness of your legs....

 

So your stances are similar... interesting.... With me, my stances are nothin alke... lol....

- My righty stance, I'm crouched.... There are no moving parts as I'm waiting for the pitch at all; I'm stiff (lower & upper halves)... I'd get HBP's (hit by pitches) because of it.... I rely on patience and power from the right side.....

 

- My lefty stance, I stand upright... my upper half is stiff, my lower half, I swivel my hips.... helps with timing.... as such, I rely on reflexes moreso than power & patience.... the bat goes much quicker through the zone when I bat lefty.....

 

I was thinking about them after I replied although, I don't move the bat a much as Sheffield and I certainly don't move as much as Youkilis lol... I've always thought Youkillis's stance was rather odd... But I think you might be right about that... When I was younger, My stance was different and very stiff but I still kept the bat at same position but not moving it at all...

I swing faster and harder with my righty stance than my lefty stance... I guess it's because I learned how to bat right handed first...

I'm opposite of you it seems... While righty, I swing at any pitch that looks good to hit. While lefty, I'm much more patient for the pitch... I tend to wait much more for my favorite pitch while lefty... Got more BB (base on balls) as a lefty too...

Jordans? What are those? LOL.

 

In any case, I just checked the distance between 2 points I walked and it was 4.6 miles. I started in West Brighton, stopped by at Western Beef, and then went home. (I guess you could count the distance within the store, since it was basically nonstop walking). Now that I think about it, I should've taken a different route. Instead of walking along Forest Avenue, I should've tried to stick with the residential streets for a more pleasant walk. Ah, well, I know for next time....

 

On a side note, SMH at Western Beef for reducing the sizes of the yogurt containers. They used to be the last holdouts with the 8 ounce containers, and now they're down to 6 ounces like everybody else (SMH at all of them too). I'd prefer the price be raised a little bit instead of this sneaky tactic. The funny thing is that their yogurt is the same price as the LaYogurt, so obviously if two things are the same price, you go with the name brand.

 

Sneakers named after Michael Jordan LOL. Never had a pair nor do I want too...

You've walked all that? I have feet problems so I can't walk all of that... Maybe half of that but that's it...

 

 

It wasn't so much that I was more mature for my age, as much as it was, not doing the stupid shit most kids my age did.....

Being observant & learning from others goes a LONG way.....

 

 

 

 

Yeh, it's easier to hit opposite field batting righty.... not exactly sure why though.....

I would hit a lot of foul balls when I would try to pull the ball....

Batting switch, although I have equal power from both sides, I'm more apt to hitting it into the gap batting lefty, and more apt to hitting "long singles" (lol) or jussst making it to 2B batting right....

 

How would you describe your stance from both sides of the plate btw?

Me.... from the right side, my stance is exactly like Jeff Bagwell's (old houston astros player).... from the left side, my stance is similar to coco crisp (where my chin is on my left shoulder as I'm batting).....

 

Hmm to be honest, I've never really gave it much thought on how my batting stance is similar to someone... I'll try to describe it the best I can...

Batting right: My legs are apart but to too far apart. The bat is not too high off my shoulders. I start to move the bat in a slight up-down motion. While my body moves slightly back and forth while waiting for the pitch... When I swing, Depending on where the ball was, I'll take my right hand off the bat while my left stays on it...

Batting left: Very similar to my right but a little less swaying and when I swing I usually keep both hands on the bat regardless where the ball was...

I'm going to look at MLB player's stances when I can to let you know who's it most similar too...

Don't get me started with the court system in this country, especially divorce courts...... That is where I do side w/ FRA's/MRA's.

 

As for the sports talks.... Looks to me like you like hitting the ball to the opposite side of the field, which is hard for most lefties do to.....

(which is one reason why Robinson Cano for example gets high praises for being such a good hitter.... Not too many lefties can hit opposite field, or even hit to all fields...... Most lefties are dead pull hitters)

 

The courts systems in America are a joke... It's a damn shame too...

Yeah I tend to hit it more towards opposite field. More so batting righty... I swing a little late to help it go to opposite field... While batting lefty, I tend to foul balls much more than batting righty.... One time, I almost ripped the third baseman's head htting lefty... Even though I can switch hit, I bat a bit better with my right... I had a few opposite field homers whenever they gave me my favorite pitch to hit.

 

 

When I was in high school/college, I didn't see routefanning necessarily as a hobby, per se... So there was no feeling of having to be open about or having to hide anything...... The more I posted on rider diaries, the more I realized this can be (and is) considered a hobby..... I considered (and still do) card collecting as my hobby - that I never hid, although none of my other friends were card collectors......

 

I was (and still not) too big on fashion.... While I don't wear hand-me-downs or bootleg shit, I'm not the guy blowing hundreds of dollars tryna look fly & keeping up w/ fashion trends either.... like I told 553Bridgeton in the NBA thread (I think it was), I've never owned a pair of Jordans.....

 

Subway car interest I'm not near as big on, as I'm more of a bus enthusiast....

 

 

1) Same here.... Marriage nowadays isn't much more than a solitary day where that female gets attention-whored out of her mind & a long term business endeavor (financial security)..... I truly don't know of one happily married man - You will hear/see/read about a lot of bored, sexless (from his wife anyway), and miserable ones though.....

 

2) Much respect !

 

3) I'm also a switch hitter.... equal power on both sides.....

When I bat lefty, I like the ball middle-to-down (doesn't matter if it's away or in) - most lefties like the ball down anyway, it's an easier swinging motion.... When I bat righty, I'm kinda like andruw jones - you better be throwing upper 90's+ to get one past me on a consistent basis.... otherwise that ball will be traveling a long way.... gotta thank my uncle for teaching me how to become a more focused batter, because I would always worry about the ball hitting me, more than I was hitting it..... As far as location from the right side, as long as it's not in the dirt, I'm good (but I wouldn't swing for that anyway.... that or a fastball above my shoulders).....

 

Infield I didn't care for because you always have to be on your toes... in the OF, you can kinda relax a little more....

 

lol @ the basketball & football comments..... shooting is a touch & feel thing; you can teach form, but you can't teach accuracy... you either have it or you don't..... sometimes the more shots I made, the bigger the cylinder appeared to me (which of course makes things easier)...... Kevin Durant is a beast though, with his shooting touch..... As for football, throwing it to butterfinger recievers made things challenging..... you pretty much had to beam the football into their stomachs - which takes accuracy.... I knew who I could lead the football to when I was QB-ing, and who I had to basically throw a bullet right at them in order for them to have a shot at catching it.......

 

Yeah I've never owned a pair of Jordans either...

Agreed about the marriage... It's funny how couples think that marriage is the best thing for them and in no more than two months, They are already cursing the mess out of each other lol... Females most common excuse: I'm too tired for sex... Here's the thing with divorce, In divorce court, The female 9/10 will have the most sympathy... It only gets worse when the judge is a female... Bottom line, Men get rapped in divorce court...

When I bat lefty, I like the ball low-middle and away... Batting left, I tend to get a little more locked up than batting righty when swinging at a pitch inside... As I've told MTAFanBoy, Had a few chicks almost take my head off because they can't swing properly when I was playing catcher...

Yeah I had no accuracy while shoot in basketball whatsoever... The only way I can catch a football was like you said, If they threw it directly at me...

 

 

Unlike a lot of older folks, I don't mind choppin it up w/ cats that's younger than I am.....

to add to that, you're never too old to learn something from someone......

 

Thanks for the compliment btw, famm's !

 

 

I like wearing black clothing b/c if I spill something on it, it's not easily noticable.... LOL !

 

No problem bro! =]

True true lol.

 

 

I would like this post because of this particular line (Thank you!) but I have reached my like quota for the day

 

Oh you too? Damn... But thanks!

Polos are awesome. Either Ralph Lauren or American Eagle polos will work for me and idk why ppl assume that, black is a very neutral color and matches w/practically anything that is why it is worn so much ^___^..

 

Yes, loads of ugly sneakers.. Vans and converses are simple and you can never go wrong w/them. Supra is a urban/skater type shoe and adidas high top sneakers are nice.. Some ppl have no style nowadays, they want to be sheep and wear what everybody else is wearing w/no type of originality or individuality at all smh (This is why I don't wear Hollister anymore)...

 

Thank you! everyone tells me that I am way more mature than my age, I guess I am (i'm only 17) and likewise, there are ppl who say some really good things on this forum, like you and B35...

 

Because black is often associated with those types of people... I like wearing black because it's one of my favorite colors...

What makes a sneaker uglier is the damn colors that they put on them... Iike neon and bright colors... Lots of young folks buy Jordans and nike because they want to fit in.... I never had that problem cause I was always myself...

Sure no problem. =]

Yes they are! Many are ugly, and ppl know that they are ugly, but still buy them to resell them for more money.. Rather waste of time... That's why I prefer clothes and snapbacks to sneakers ... And simple is better than overzealous all the time! *thumbs up*

 

Clothes is simple too, plain shirts, polos, graphic tees, cardigans and graphic tanks.. Actually fairly simple but still stylish

 

Online its easier to be more outgoing b/c most of the time your not gonna meet them in person so any thoughts about them judging you aren't necessary, at least in my experience..

 

Although this is a transit forum, its very nice that we can have off topic conversations, we all share a similar interest but we are different ppl, and its nice to get to know ppl and discuss w/e we want too... I like the freedom and I like getting to know ppl so its a win/win for me!

 

Yeah that's true....

I really like polo shirts... I usually were either black or blue and I hate it when people assume I'm goth or emo just because I wear a lot of black...

Loads of ugly sneaker designs these days though....

I like to meet new mature people too like you and B35.

Another reason why I don't buy the $200+ Nike's/Jordan's, most of them are made out of crap materials and fit horridly.. My style is simple, stylish and comfortable.. As long as you can match it with your outfit and it doesn't make your feet hurt, you are set!

I'm not much of a sneakerfan, I love clothes and snapbacks tho!

 

Oh that type of quiet! I am actually really shy around ppl that I don't know well either, online and offline.. I barely posted on this forum when I first joined, but now I opened up and glad I did or I wouldn't have had some of the very interesting conversations (like this one) that I have on this forum

 

and thanks!

 

A lot of these sneakers are horrid when it comes to style... I was always that type of guy who enjoys simple designs...

I can be shy in person but online, I tend to be a bit more out going... Yeah this convo is great!

Sure no problem!

Now that's how you point out the hypocrisy of these new age "strong & independent" chicks !

 

Thanks bro! Yeah it's definitely futile to argue with a chick especially if that chick is your wife... I personally say marriage isn't for me...

Women who are not married by 40 these days are called useless but back then they were called spinsters

Hmm.... Well me, I'm good at playing all 4 of the major sports.... of course, I was the only black kid that knew how to ice skate out of my little circle of friends/acquaintances... hockey was probably my weakest sport b/c I didn't play all that much... would've liked to have become better at it though....

 

baseball I find to be quite easy..... I would play the outfield and loved diving for flyballs (back when Jim Edmonds was doin the damn thing.... lol).... I was a fastball/curve ball hitter.... change-ups would give me problems though...... always had good hand-eye coordination & quick reflexes..... my problem with playing baseball is, I would lose interest after a while.... the other 3 sports were much more fun to me.....

 

basketball, on most days, you didn't want to leave me open... I was a set shooter, and would heat up rather quickly (but when I was cold, I admit, I stunk).... I liked playing the shooting guard position, but since I was one of the tallest of the bunch, I would always be thrown at center - guarding some fat bastard that used his weight (and his stench) to gain inside position..... I was never much of a dribbler though.... I remember playing a couple games of "utah", where I did not miss one shot; including the "key" shot & the final shot.......

 

football was my isht..... on offense, I'd play WR (while I wasn't a speed guy, I was a "hands" guy; a possession reciever) & on defense, I would play safety (or using slang, I'd "play the field" - lazy right !)... I was hard to get around (esp. playing 2 hand touch or 3 sec. hold) b/c I have a long wingspan.... Sometimes I'd play QB, which was also fun..... fact of the matter is, I never got bored playing football....

 

 

 

I'll get to the part of your post I didn't address, a little later.....

Good to have a discussion with like minded people....

 

Same here! I can proudly say that you and MTAFanBoy512 have good heads on your shoulders!

I've always wanted to try ice skating but never got the chance too... Hockey was ok for me.... (we've play in the gym)

My favorite pitch to hit is a fastball up and away... I would hit it pretty far when that happens... Naturally, I'm a right handed hitter but I can bat switch... Also I'm a right handed thrower but I can throw left handed as well...

Thing is, in P.E, as I said earlier, I usually would throw only fastballs because the kids started bitching that they couldn't hit the ball because of me...

I could play out field but I didn't like it too much... I prefer the infield... If I was put out field, I was usually put at LF... If infield, I was usually put SS but I prefered catcher or pitcher...

Basketball, I suck at it completey.... I can't shoot straight for S--- lol.... I would always hit the backboard but rarely the basket...

Football, I was ok at it but my god, I was butterfingers lol... That's why the QB never threw the ball at me lol...

Oh damn I haven't run on a treadmill since the incident, which was during Freshman Year (October 2010)

and don't plan on running on one anytime soon...

 

About the sneakers, i feel you... You are a bit older than me (not by much tho) and I've been told that as you get older, brands don't matter that much, and it becomes more about comfort vs. style and also affordability..

 

I'm like you, well minus the quiet part... Lmao! I'm the voice that you would always hear, whether during a fight, in the school hallway, wherever.. (not in an annoying way, just like you know that I'm there type of way)

 

My friend and I were walking around Springfield Gardens on Sunday, and he kept pointing to cars and asking me "What car is this?" and then I answered and then he would look for the name to see if I was wrong, then he would get mad that I got it right

 

We made a bet, if he found a car that I didn't know the name at any point in that day (between noon and 11pm, when I ended up going home) I would have to give him $20, if I knew the name of every car by the end of that day, I would win the $20.. I won the $20 and named probably over 300 cars correctly

 

It's true about the sneakers... I stopped caring about brands since I was 13 though... At the end of the day, I'd rather have my feet comfortable than being in pain but in style...

I have a loud voice too lol... What I mean by quiet is that I don't talk to people I don't know well...

That's pretty cool!
