The C-Train Prophet
About a year and a half ago, I was on the train going to school and I noticed this guy, who I thought, was rapping to himself. Nothing too out of the ordinary, people sing along to their iPod's all the time. But singing and talking to yourself is a easy thing to mistake. Then about half way through downtown he announces himself to the train as a prophet and goes off on this ridiculous rant about all kinds of stuff. He talked about the world ending, tsunamis hitting the west coast, how God told him to pass on this message and a bunch of other random crap that didn't make sense. His rant probably lasted about ten minutes and people were confused and laughing, no one took him even remotely seriously. He didn't look like some crazy homeless guy either. He just looked like your typical early twenties guy, but of course with that special extra look of crazy in his eyes.
Funny thing is, when I get into class I tell a classmate about some crazy guy talking to everyone on the train. And he says to me, "Oh, did he talk about tsunamis and the end of the world?" I say, yeah. He goes, "yeah I saw that guy last week on the train, he probably gave the same stupid speech then too." He was hence forth known as the C-Train Prophet.
