I was playing Kirby Super Star Ultra on my DSlite and I got to some thinking while I was playing. I have always had some kind of Nintendo related portable system on me since I was five. If you lived in any city like New York City you'll understand that getting somewhere takes awhile. I always carry my DSlite with me where ever I go. Nintendo for the most part has always been my portable gaming device on the busy trains on NYC, but for some it's either their PSP,ipod touch or iphone, and maybe their cellphones.

I personally hate long trips and even to this day I always need to carry something with me to pass time on the train ride. I live in Jamaica,Queens and my college is at the end of Manhattan, so you're pretty much looking at a hour long trip and doesn't matter if you take a different train, it's still a long ride. Even when I'm trying to go to go to Brooklyn from Queens it's two hours tops! When I ride the trains I hate not having something to do, because I hate looking at random people who stare at me for whatever reason they have to stare at me. Not just that, but the trains in Queens are so SLOW, better yet EVERYTHING IN QUEENS IS SLOW. I'm original from Brooklyn and I'm use to trains running fast, but trains in Queens just suck.

Oh looks like I ranted on little, sorry ^^;. Back to what I was talking about, you always need something on the go while traveling in NYC. When I was still taking the school bus back in elementary school I always carried my GameBoy Color with me. I mean, looking at the window for about an hour and 30 minutes doesn't really sound productive, right? When I did play on the bus back then I just shut out the world around me and focused on the world in my GameBoy. I still do that today, but with the DS. When I think about it I could be doing other things on the train to pass time, but playing on my DS seems to work best. Mainly because I can't listen to music on the train, since the trains are so fucking loud that you have to turn the volume up to max. I could read a book, but I could never focus on reading anything at all on the trains, but thats just me. When I'm playing on my DS I just don't pay any attention to anything around me and it does make the ride much easier to deal with.

I notice this with other people in the trains. They either have something with them to pass the time till their stop comes up. I lately seen people ALWAYS playing on their ipod touch or iphone, and I do see people now and then reading books as well. When it comes to seeing other people play on their DS or PSP, I always see more PSPs than DSs and I don't know why that is. It is little hard playing a DS since the trains move around a lot. Even my mother plays games on her ipod touch to the pass the time on the trains. If there is one thing I would never do is sleep on the trains, because the last thing I need is some asshole stealing my DS out of my bag.

Man it's really hard to write a blog when you're sick -_-'. Not sure if anyone else knows what I'm talking about with traveling on distances, since not every city is like NYC. Well kind of lost my train of thought here. It would make sense to post a video or a picture related to my blog, but I'll just post this cute video.
