Jury Duty: Day 6

This strange part of town gets stranger and stranger everyday. Wtf. So I’m eating alone in my car today and listening to music when I start hearing people shouting. I can see in my rear view mirror that it’s these two white men in black suits with ties (like I said that’s what everyone looks like around here). Idk what they were yelling at each other but one guy was literally shouting into that other guy’s face. Not cool man.

So then only about 5 minutes later (I was still in my car) two different white men in black suits with ties start yelling at each other in practically the same location. One guy looked so pissed. His face turned bright red plus he was smoking a cigarette while shouting. So he couldn’t move his lips. it was a weird sight.

so they eventually stop and the pissed off red face guy when into the car that was parked behind mine in the parking lot to eat his lunch alone. though of course while blasting bagpipe music which was so loud you can hear it even though he had his windows up. (I had mine rolled down)

Jury Duty: Day 5

Remember how I said that this part of town is strange and it only has white men in suit and ties walking around. (idk who I’m talking too/ who is reading this but anyway) Well today I saw the two most out of place people walking down the street. There was these two black men one was wearing older looking maybe 90s-esque forest camouflage army uniform and the other guy was wearing a bright red fez hat with a black tassel with a thick salt and pepper beard.

Jury Duty: Day 3

There’s a typist who types out and documents all the conversations in the courtroom. She uses a unmarked keyboard and she stares intensely at nothing to focus when she types. She looks extremely tense and on edge. when no one is talking she taps her fingers skillfully like ninja moves , just waiting/preparing for another word to be said. She looks so focus I think if I were to sneeze she would get so startled she would explosive. She is also very beautiful.

Jury Duty: Day 2

Is it wrong that I rather listen to music and scroll through tumblr than talk to people? Idk though I let this stranger use my cell phone to make a phone call then I explained the entire jury and court system to him with the assistance of a kind indain man who was sitting next to me. I don’t think he got it.

Jury Duty: Day 4

I’m still at jury duty (it’s my 4th day here) I went out for lunch and it was almost like a dream. Not dreamy like a dream. This is such a strange/distorted part of town. There’s a few restaurants by me, mainly fast food chains and there all filled with white men in black suits with ties eating by themselves. all at separate tables. No one talks to each other, everyone just eats in silence.

So for the last few days when I got lunch I didn’t feel like sitting alone at a table like everyone else so I’ve been eating in my car in a parking lot. Which isn’t that uncommon. I counted 3 other people doing the same thing on my way through the parking lot today. But today it was a little too hot in my car for me. my car was sitting in the middle of the parking lot in the dead heat of the sun so I decided to eat on the top level of a near by parking garage. (was no cars up there) still by myself but with a pleasant view of the land around me. and I bought this coffee soda. It was okay.

Yea like I said this is a really strange part of long island and I have noticed this before but I never really walked around this part of town, like I have been for the last couple of days. It’s like the business/federal buildings/shopping section. Everything feels so fake and unnatural. Just miles of office buildings, parking lots, and strip malls. Just flat lifeless concrete and asphalt land. Nobody lives close to here. There’s no houses/homes just office buildings and parking lots. Pretty much. There is the actual sidewalk tree and there are a few grassy fields/swards ( I like the word sward) but there always surrounded by sidewalks and no one ever goes on the glass. It’s just on display. They only walk on the sidewalks.

I was thinking what if there was like a football game on one of there sidewalk in crushed fields but the players would be white men wearing suits and ties just like everyone else around here. That would be so great.

Jury Duty: Day 1

Shying aging people with sleepy eyes but neutral faces stare into space or intake the landscape of faces to assess who are what. The lucky ones like me can glue our focus and minds to the Internet and pretend our time is important hehe. While whispery nervous on edge rubber necking people scan the room, ease drop, and get startled when they have breath out a ‘sorry’ or ‘thank you’ to each other with uncleared throats and squeaky seat adjustments. When finally the half hearted self interested survivalists keep to them selfs there leaps of joy and poor sportsmanship when they get selected to go through the motions of abandonment by making up excuses like misguided teenaged girls trying to get out of gym class. turning there cheeks and minds away and feeling like they got away with it.
