The Art of Not Saying Hi

recently, playing ipod solitaire on the train has been the best way to be completely unaware of people that are undeserving of my hi. OK..not like they are undeserving or i am in some way more deserving but you know what i mean. when you are stuck side by side with someone you kinda know, or a dude you accidentally made out with there's no need for obligated small talk. forced smiles aren't very pretty either. it's just unbecoming. so i figure the best way is to appear like i don't see them at all. or stare past them like i don't even recognize the face.
