Shout Out or S/O

If you read my previous blog, you should know by now that on my way back home, I get this small magazine "Tonight" that has a complicated Sudoku. That was all I cared about that magazine, until one day when I finished Sudoku before arriving at my station. Just so I don't want to look like I am checking out the people around, I thought I'd have a look at the other pages there, so I started from the end. There was a section called Shout Outs, 2 pages. I start reading and I couldn't belive my eyes!! That is a new social media, but not electronic.. a paper social media! Since then, now I read that section every day! Here some fun ones:
"To the lady that was yesterday at the LSW train, in her early 60. I think you are lovely. I am in my 20, brown and would love to tap on your experience ;)"
"I would love to meet you and dance with you in the rain. You shirtless and me wrapped in a sari! Are you strong enough to take me away from my evil uncle that wants me to marry this other guy"
"I saw you on Wednesday on subway. You got off on Glencarin station. You had a pair of tiger skin, high heels. All I want is to see you on those shoes. The Suit"
"Keep your feet that smell like sweat, cheese, disgusting dirt on your shoes until you get home!"
"Read something, don't just look out of the window"
"To all the people that see a pregnant women standing and pretend they are sleeping. Get up and give your seat!"
"You were wearing greenish pants, were listening to your music and were on Erindale station at 8:15am on Tuesday. I think you are too handsome and I would love to go out with you for a coffee. toshytoaskyouout"
"I am a women in my early 50, look like in 40, still with a strong drive. Where can I meet men of my age that are still in good health and still have a drive? NotLookingtobeaCougar"
and then the next day the answer:
"I am a man in late 50, still have my own teeth, in good health, lots of my own hair and lots of drive. Would love to meet women like you"
"To the person that left a note on my windshield with the license plate of the person that hit my car at the parking lot yesterday, a big thank you!"

And then there are some more on cats, some soccer related ones lately that Euro2012 is going on, some environment ones...All I can say, this is fun :) I read today that someone thanked S/O because she re-met her love by writing here and now she thinks that some things are meant to be! There are some open ones "Succesful guy, in my early 40, take good care of myself, divorced, no kids. I take LWS lane at 5:10 on the last car. Let me know if you are on the same train and we can talk"

All I can say is that people are looking for "love" everywhere possible. They spent ~1hour or more every day on the train. Why not find someone to make that hour interesting, to make that hour the one that gives them a reason to wake up in the morning. Maybe work, or school or problems are just all around us and we NEED 1 hour a day to forget them, get lost in something else. If it becomes something sweet and nice, why not leave the "evil uncle and dance in the rain" together!! At the end of the day, we all are good inside, looking for a way to let others see inside us.
