lunch conversation about construction accidents, getting women from all over the world, life imitates art?

As much as I stand out, like all people I am also a series of contradictions and one is that I am also invisible more than I would like  sometimes.    I make a reference to being invisible and people talking in front of me as if I don't exist in a fictional short story I wrote called "Chopping the Street" which is about white collar crime.

I was having lunch and a small group of business people where chatting loud enough for me to hear "Bloomberg", "construction accidents" where just that, they happen, (he may have also blamed supervisors) something to that affect --- which anyone who knows me or follows this blog knows I feel we had way too many accidents because this was a tsunami  --- it was way too fast to be safe and there are many other reasons it was and isn't safe which I am not going to discuss+ and than the loquacious man talked of a man he admired -- I didn't know the name.   I can't remember the name but he admired this guy because he could get any woman he wanted,  "South American", "Asian", "Russian", you get my point...

In "Chopping the Street..." I talk about the "white collars"    ....as they "white collars"  had
their quieter, or not so quiet parties with "servants of all kinds".

I ate as quickly as possible and left.    Does life imitate art?   There was something about that conversation that "felt" criminal to me.

It was so horrible.   I wished I had my head phones.

+ There are so many reasons why these site were not safe and still are not.   I am not anti-construction.  I have stood up for the construction workers pointing out at City Council Task Force  Meeting on DOB which Christine Quinn was too busy to attend, Dec. 2006, that too many constructions workers were dying.   There is so much construction going on city wide right now it is mind boggling and still I believe impossible to "police" safe guard because there is just "too much" and only so many union trained workers....I also wonder where the droves of mostly wealthy people will come to fill all these supersized mega builds city wide.   And you know my stance on our infrastructure and yet another way peoples lives are endangered.
