"the trainman cometh" (the matrix revolutions s.track)

i love the holidays. i'm going to miss them.
although i woke up at 7, my day really started at 8, when i got on the train...
i am totally stuck on this one song. "romance - noir I soundtrack". some of you should have it. listen to it. it is one of those songs that sends shivers up your spine. however, you need to conjure up the right image. french provincial setting. a labyrinth of alleyways. and a video clip of a guy chasing after a girl who he has suddenly realised he loves. the video clip in sepia tone.oooo baby. and you gotta love in ear headphones. you can actually listen to music on your ipod on one of those old trains while you are in the loop. it was an amazing experience.
i conjure up a funny idea today on the train, when a small incident eventuated on the train.
even with my in ear headphones, you can still hear loud noises. such as the doors between carriages crashing against the doorjam as they close. it's funny. why does everybody look at the guy who walks between carriages. i mean, its not that illegal. but everybody gives him (or her in some cases) the greasy for it. and everybody is like that as well. is it simple mental conditioning, by seeing others leer at the guy, and therefore, to be conformist, you feel that you should too? or is it something deeper?
i think its something deeper. i reckon that its an evolutionary disposition. like how monkeys are instinctively fearful of snakes even if they have never seen a snake before. but seriously, i would like to see the dna branch in my genome which says "guy walking between carriages = give him greasy."
well, at least i found that quite funny.
