Two cases of stupidity behind the wheel

Why the hell do we allow colossal morons to drive automobiles? I really don't know! I have two cases of idiocy that I witnessed this morning.

1 - On my way to class this morning, I was behind this pick-up truck that started tailgating the car, an older model lexus, in front of him. The lady in the lexus, was going about 20mph in a 35mph zone. I could see why the young guy in the truck was annoyed. Now if you are driving a substantially less speed than the speed limit for whatever reason(injured, vehicle malfunctions, inexperience, etc) you should have the courtesy of turning on your hazard lights. Not this lady.
Now the dude in the truck was not exactly in the right either. For the next half of a mile, he proceeded to ride her ass. I mean like mere inches from her bumper. She did not drive faster or pull off the road or turn on her hazard lights. She just continued on like nothing phased her.


Well there is about a quarter of a mile straight away before the school, it is a no passing zone for unknown reasons(people always seem to drive slower than the speed limit here for whatever reason), but the dude in the truck started to whip around to pass the lady in the lexus. She had slowed to about 15mph in a 35mph zone. As soon as she saw him begin to pass her she gunned her engine and sped way up. I am watching these two idiots race in a somewhat residential area taking up both lanes neither giving way to the other.
Well the guy managed to get in front of the lexus at the very last second before another car coming towards us in the other lane and an almost head-on collision happened. The lady in the lexus was obviously furious. She was headed to the school also.
In the parking lot, they both exited their vehicles and began to scream at each other...profanity here profanity there! I parked and walked up to the both of them. The lady was in her mid to late thirties, the guy was about 20 or 21.
Lady in the lexus: WHAT THE HELL? WHY WERE YOU RIDING MY FUCKING ASS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK? ARE YOU ON DRUGS OR SOMETHING? I WISHED YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO THAT WRECK IT WOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU A LESSON! I AM GONNA CALL THE POLICE ON YOU AND HAVE YOUR ASS THROWN IN JAIL FOR RECKLESS DRIVING!
Dude in the pickup truck: WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE YOU FAT FUCKING COW? I WAS RIGHT TO PASS YOU AND THEN YOU ALMOST GOT ME KILLED BECAUSE YOU SPED UP NOT LETTING ME IN FRONT! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF LESSON WOULD I LEARN IF I'M DEAD YOU DUMBASS BITCH? I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO CALL THE POLICE ON YOU FOR YOU BEING RECKLESS!
Me: BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! Now listen lady you were in the wrong by not pulling off the road or hazard lights or driving the speed limit or closer to the speed limit. Then when this guy goes to pass you speed up almost causing an collision. That is fucking stupid. Dude! What gives you the right to be on someones ass like a hemorroid? No kidding she sped up. I don't think that either of you have any room to bitch. Ya'll should go about your business and be glad your both fucking alive. Now since I am the witness to this whole debacle, I think after my statement to the police the DMV would be glad to revoke both of your licenses for reckless behavior. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS OR I WILL NOTIFY THE POLICE OF YOUR RECKLESS DRIVING AND DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE!
They both looked at each other and then at me, kind of drooping their heads a bit, and walked away without another word. I am glad to see that I am the peacemaker of the world sometimes.

2 - There are these apartments right beside our house. Well for the most part WE HATE THEM! The apartment complex there has a large parking lot but somehow the people there find it necessary to park out on the street. Now this doesn't bother me that much. It's when they park too close to our driveway or in front of our driveway, that really irks my nerves. Thus preventing us to get out or get into our driveway. I have left nice notes and bitchy notes before on vehicles(I know...women are usually the ones to leave notes on cars but oh well I guess I am more on my feminine side). I usually will find the notes, nice or not, crumpled up in our yard or in the back of my truck. Very few take heed to my notes.
Well today as I am coming home from class, there is this bonehead parked directly in front of my driveway. Banging his head, bumpin his hands on the dash to his music, and blasting the radio to an obscene volume. Now don't get me wrong I like all(and I do mean all) kinds of music but to blast YOUR music to extremely loud decibels is just tacky! I stop and honk my horn for him to move and the dipshit gives me the finger and continues to perform to his steering wheel. So at this point I am annoyed! I get out of my truck turning on my hazard lights(like a smart person does) and walk over to the reject of society.
Me:Hey dude! You are blocking my driveway.
Dumbshit: So!
Me: Move...out...of...the...fucking...way! Because people don't seem to hear you unless you add a profanity in your sentence.
Dumbshit: Why? I is waiting on my homie. You can just sit the fuck over there and wait until he comes out and then I will move.
By this time there are cars honking as they drive by because I am blocking one side of the street. As you have read I can't go anywhere because my driveway is being blocked by the village idiot.
Me: No! Get the FUCK out of the way of my driveway!
The dumbshit looking confused, glances over to where my driveway is located and seeing that he is right in the middle of it.
Dumbshit: Oh...my bad! I didn't know there was a driveway there. I thought I was in your parking spot or somthun. Gimme a sec and I will move.
Really? How the fuck couldn't you see a driveway? It is only a concrete slab smack in the middle of someones yard. Furthermore, there are no designated parking spots on a residential road! What a dumbass!
Me: Ok...
The dufus moves forward fifteen feet and resumes to bump his music. I could give a shit. I am glad that I am not a hot-headed gun owner. Lorin says she does keep her gun in her car for the very reason she just might shoot a dumbass. I do keep mine in there and advertise it with a sticker that says "Insured by Glock" along with all of my Marine Corps stickers that cover my truck. Just so people know its there and that I know how to kill them with more than just a gun! Boasting? Yes! Do I care? Not really! I was really, however, tempted to pull it out and start waving it about. I didn't because that would only be a moronic move on my part. Two wrongs don't make a right. I am not the kind of person that will threaten someones life just because they're stupid. But boy...do I sure think it!



That's been my morning of dealing with the local stupids...have a nice day!

Tis been a while

I know that it has been a long while since I last posted. I have been rather busy with school, work, and Lorin off on vacation and her return. I'm sorry(to all my 10 readers). I just haven't had the time nor anything interesting to write. I am a bad blogger...shame on me!

On a plus note, Lorin came back from Hawaii this past Sunday. I missed her so much. It was just too quiet in our little household! She had fun but wished I was there with her having fun too! Ah the life of a college student. Busy, broke, and stressed! Now that she is home we have some stuff to do.

We finally finished getting the Halloween decorations up. Halloween is a little more than a week away and we finally got all decorated. Yea I know, we can be slackers sometimes. We still have to buy like $100 more in candy from the dollar store, but oh well.

My classes are in mid-terms time these next few weeks. So I will be busy studying and gettin my learn on so I can gets me a gooder edumacation! Hey! I am allowed to say stupid shit like that, I am from the deep south.

Our internet service is pure shit! I am not sugar coating it either. We have had this "Clear Wire" company for nearly two years. When we first got it seemed like they were trying really hard to give good internet connection, but failed. So we just dealt with the slow service and poor connection. The connection would go out in inclimate weather and would go out in almost inclimate weather and would go out in after inclimate weather. We stayed anyways. There wasn't much else of a choice. It will cut out while on both of our computers(sometimes the work I am doing gets lost which really pisses me off), so we are constantly having to reset the router and repair connection on our computers. For the last year Lorin and I have been saying we need to get a different service provider. For $40 a month we only get decent internet when its summertime and no chance of slightly poor weather. Thats just not good business. We have contacted them before explaining our lack of connection(its not like we live in the boondocks either) and get told that in our area the internet connection is getting repaired...blah blah blah bullshit. The only way we get any connection is either in two places in our house. The upstairs front bedroom window with the box facing north and the blinds pulled up and nothing else near it. Or in our master bathroom window facing north same as the other room. Really? What the hell? So we have put up with this crap for 2ish years. Well 4 days ago, for no apparent reason, the internet just stopped working! We tried fiddling with the router like we have done in the past with no luck. Then Lorin contacted them and they said it would be 24 hours before it would be working again! Its been 4 days and no internet! So we are switching internet service providers again. Luckily, I am borrowing someone elses connection that I can only get in our garage for some reason. It is a very weak connection but at least it works! That is the only way we have internet in our household a lot of times. I know this has been one long rant, but oh well!

Other than that my life has been pretty dull. I know...I know...I am boring! Thank you for taking the time to read about my life and my bitch sessions!

Home alone

It's weird having the house all to myself. Lorin is off were her mom and sisters in Hawaii. I do miss her soo much. For the next week, I have to figure out what to do with myself. I could clean the house(it really needs it).

I do have some school work to catch up on. I don't know what my work schedule is like. I do have to go in today to help Derek move some things(not getting paid I am just helping him out of the goodness of my soul). It's all quiet and stuff.

On a plus note, I do get the bed all to myself...well sorta, the dogs and cats take up a little over half. But that's more than I usually get.

It's funny I am stuck babysitting all of their vehicles and both houses. A big ford truck, a volkswagon jetta, a volkswagon rabbit, and a porsche. Maybe I will take each one out for a spin and just let my truck take a rest. I do not intend to sleep over at the other house though...it smells like butt and all my stuff is here.

I could play some video games, watch some movies, or just lounge around naked in my house. I don't think I will do any of this though. I am too much of a busy-body.

With Halloween coming up, I do plan to start decorating. Lorin and I weren't going to do Halloween this year because we normally spend around 600 dollars on candy(we live in the rich neighborhood where everybody takes their kids we also give out the good stuff). Since we couldn't afford it this year we were just going to not decorate or give out candy. Well that just sucks! We always decorate and give out candy. So we decided that to hell with it, we will just buy the cheapest candy to hand out and we are going to decorate with our awesome decorations that over the years we spent a shit-ton of money on. We might as well. So that is something I can get a jumpstart on. Halloween is only 3 weeks away.

Other than what is listed, I haven't a clue as to what else to do to keep from getting bored or sad. Maybe I won't be either bored or sad. I dunno. Well that's all from my little world. Ta-ta!

Grumble...grumble

Well that dreaded week has arrived. Lorin's mom is in town! She shows up every 10 weeks for her break in the Cirque show. Has it really been 10 weeks since she was last here? I guess so. I have no idea why but she flat out fucking HATES ME!!! I don't get it. Neither does Lorin. We have discussed it over and over and over. There is just no getting it I suppose.

These are just some of the examples over the last 2 years with no particular time of when they happened but are in order.

Example 1: I try to be myself. I am a very friendly chipper type. So I am polite, nice, chatty, helpful, and just overall a happy kind of person when Amy is around. Lorin and I are always very loving around each other so we didn't act any differently. We hold hands, smile, tickle each other, and are just genuinely affectionate. Now she doesn't say this to me directly but according to her I am just an immature ass(but I can certainly tell thats what she is thinking). I get looked down on because I am happy. And Lorin has to hear about what a douchebag I am. How we shouldn't be together blah blah blah! How lazy and worthless I am (even though our house was always clean). How she is somehow supporting me and so on... OK...fine then!

Example 2: I am quiet and keep to myself when my mother-in-law is around. I don't go with the rest of them out to eat. I just gather whatever we have around the house to munch on. This time when she was in town Lorin and I laid off the affectionate behavior since it was so obviously annoying Amy. Now that she is in town this time around I am working two jobs and therefore I really wasn't home that much and I am always busy...but exhausted. So avoiding Amy was relatively easy. Just so you know, I am the type that if I don't get an invite I am not just going to invite myself and tag along. I am the type who, if I can't pay for my own meal I don't wanna have someone else do it for me. Lorin is annoyed because I won't come with them when they go out to eat. (By the way, when AMY is in town she never wants to eat home cooked meals. She just goes out to eat all the time) Lorin's sisters are also telling me to come out with them when they all go out so their mom doesn't get all grouchy and tell them about "how rude I am because I never come out with them" or "Lorin and I are not happy because we never are around each other" or "what's wrong with Lorin and Gary are they breaking up or something since they are not as affectionate as they used to be" or "he is so lazy the house is never clean(I was working two jobs you bitch), or...whatever! Grrrr...

Example 3: She's back! This time I had started in college and had quit one of my jobs(it was just not going to work 2 full time jobs and full time student). So I have one job and am now finally using my MGI Bill money for schooling. I had been talking about it for years so I finally got into a position to where I could. GOOD FOR ME! Well at the time we only had the one computer in the house that Lorin bought when her laptop took a dump and so she got a desktop Mac. Well, everytime I went to do my homework or write papers for my classes...there Amy was just goofin off on the computer. Now mind you, she has her own laptop in her room but for whatever reason she just had to be on this computer. I felt odd about asking her to get off of the computer so I could do some homework but I did every once in a while. Sometimes I would get a chipper "ok...yea sure...you have important stuff to do", or a grumble...and then she would get up, or just a stern look...then she would remember that she has to be passive aggressive and so she would fakely smile and get off the computer. This makes me uncomfortable as hell because she already hates me, but I mean come on...you have your own FUCKING computer! Smile and nod...smile and nod! So the only time I was able to be on the computer was fucking early AM. I would wait til she would go to bed which was like midnight or so and then I was free to use the computer. Most of the time this led me to be up til like sunrise sometimes. But oh well...no awkward confrontations. Well...sorta! Lorin was always pissed because I would come to bed til late. But I couldn't help it. So I didn't "hear" about so much hatred of me this time but I could just feel it. So to combat this situation for future Amy-visits I went and bought my own laptop(thank God she hasn't messed with it...I would lose my damn cool).

Example 4: Well the last time she was in town, she came at a bad time. I was out of school for the summer(not by choice...but because all the classes filled up before my grades had even posted from the Spring...I got screwed). Which means I have no GI bill money...so I am broke for the summer because my job money helps pay the bills and groceries and I had to pay for a laptop. Lorin was having issues at the Eldo job. Our cat died(one of my earlier posts in this blog)the day Amy arrived so we were already upset. Well this last time she was here it was a fucking nightmare, as previously written. So I decided to take her up on the invites to going out with the rest of them to eat(I am so broke that I kind of have to)...bad idea! I try to be nice but quiet...bad idea! I try to be socialable but not too overly chatty...bad idea! Lorin and I stay just only barely affectionate with Amy around...not so bad idea! Well I just can't win...because we had the most awkward dinner ever. So bad in fact that Lorin and I couldn't stay in the house all night. I had been trying to be social and go out with all of them when they went out to dinners over the last few visits but...that...will...never...happen...again!!! I cannot take anymore of her shit. Among all the other shitty days we had when she was here she started off in a great mood. Really...I had never seen her in such a good mood. Then...it got...horrible. She was alway in a pissy mood and she was always gossiping to Lorin's sisters about us and all kinds of other shitty behavior like: "they are so lazy" or "why do I have to pay for everything" or "why are they so upset over their cat dying...it just a cat" or "why are they acting so strange why don't they just going to break up already" or "why isn't Lorin with Mike(who Amy adores) instead of Gary(who Amy loathes)" or "why doesn't Gary have any money(duh...I don't have any GI Bill money because I am not in fucking class this summer)" or any other snarky remarks she has made openly or whispered! What the hell! I just can't win with her.

It took Lorin and I like 3 and half weeks to recover from her last visit. And now she is back! She flew in on Monday and there was some awkwardness. Luckily she is staying over at the Washoe house this time and she is only in town for a little over a week. So in this visit I am going to stick to just eating at home or for whatever I can buy my damn self. I am not going to have late papers because lack of computer usage. I am not going to get involved in family arguments. I am not going to be overly nice, just be civil. I am not going to give a damn. I am just going to pretend like she isn't here and that Lorins and my life doesn't get turned upside down with her crap!
Sorry folks my blood just gets a boiling when she shows up now. I have taken it for years now and I am truly fed up with it. I know this is one helluva rant but believe me this ain't even close to half of it. There is so much more but I would probably be typing for several weeks. So hopefully I will not be in a bad mood this week. So sorry if I am.

This is gonna be one of those weekends...

Just what the title says!
Well I will elaborate some. I am at work for most of today, like 11 hours of being there. We have a ton of cleaning to do. Lorin has other activities going on today and tommorrow. Now that I have temporary access to the MyMathLab for my math class I have to play catch up with that. We have a dish to prepare for this coming BBQ on Monday. Lorin's mom and sister are coming one on Sunday the other on Monday. And just a bunch of other hectic activities to keep us going around in circles. Ahhhhhh!!!

My 30's

Well I am now 30 years old. I guess I don't get to say I am in my 20's anymore and have to say I'm in my 30's. Gosh...I'm...old! Oh well!

Does this mean I can retire? Collect social security? Hang out in bars and talk about the good ole days? Go to the community center and play bingo? Hmmm...maybe!

I know I'm not really old. I just remember back to when I was a little kid thinking 30 was old. Now that I am here. Its just another number. So when you see me bitching about being in my 30's now, just know that I am joking...with myself mostly.

When I do get old, though, I am definitely going to be one of obnoxiously perverted old guys. When a young guy tells a dirty joke, people might think him a perv. When an old guy tells a dirty joke, people think its funny. Nobody pulls a can of pepper spray on an old guy. Nobody shouts sexual harrassment on an old guy. Nobody thinks an old guy as a pervert, they just smile or chuckle. Do you ever notice those old guys who will pat a girl on the butt, tease them about how good they look, always give them a full frontal hug(just so they can have the girls chest up against them), give a wink at a lady, look a woman up and down while raising their eyebrows, or any other slightly inappropriate behavior and the lady just thinks its cute, not a chance...but cute. When I am old, thats going to be me!



Anyways thats a long time from now. As for now I have the day off today and so does Lorin. I have no idea what are agenda for today is going to be but I am sure it will be fun. It's my day to have fun and do whatever, so I am going to do it. Bye ya'll and have a great day!

Ugghh week over

Ahhh my week is over...its time for the weekend now! Well not much has happened this week just going to school then going to work then going to school then going to work etc..
My body feels like I was just beaten with a bamboo cane. So Wednesday at around 4pm, it started with both of my legs cramping up for absolutely no reason. I went on to work and afterwards I had to get Lorin to massage them and she found these huge muscle cramps in them. I don't think she has ever heard me scream so much.

Well Thursday same as before legs still crampy. However, a new pain had started. I seemed to have a kink in my neck and my upper back near my shoulder blades had a huge knot also, which probably caused the neck pain. So same as before went to work but now not only am I limping but I also can't move my neck very far and I am all hunched over with back pain. Hmmm! So when I get home I can't take my neck pain anymore so I have Lorin massage that knot in my back. Sure enough my neck doesn't hurt as bad and believe it or not my legs don't feel as bad either. Problem solved!

Friday... New problem! My legs are almost better, my neck is almost better, my back is still hurting a little but not as bad. So when I was at work my right hand seems to have some kind of kink near my thumb and palm area(no...its not a beating off problem...I'm left handed for that). So now a new pain...great... Its not a constant pain but I have some trouble with certain hand motions. My favorite is I can't turn the ignition in my truck, I have to use my other hand for that because its like I have no strength in my hand...and it hurts. I have figured out where the pain is but massaging it is rather difficult because of its location in my hand.
What next? I joked at work being that my big 3 0 birthday is next thursday, so I am just blaming it on old age. But really, what the hell is going on?

So now its Saturday midnightish. Am I going to wake up with a new pain for tommorrow or what?

Gosh I sound like a whiny bitch don't I? Well I will stop with all the negative waves. On a good note I don't have to go back to work til tuesday. That is all...thank you come again!
