There are people on
the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty
to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day
talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I
say
grow up.
Here's a bit of
info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say
here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like,
or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on,
go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just
click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the
offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this
site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I
want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life?
Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing
my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the
line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live
Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This
journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to
write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So
read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about it.

win with me on blingo! I can vouch it really works. I've won
already.
Random Observation #2 I just got back from a quick trip to the local Tarjay (to return the aforementioned shrunken shirt) and the library. And though it's not an uncommon observation, I'll state the obvious anyway: there are way too many bad drivers out there. I won't get into the cell phone driving scourge today (though we all know the epidemic that's become!) but rather something a little more basic. People who drive too quickly and too impatiently because apparently the whole world will blow up and DIE if they don't go faster than me.
I'm not a putzy driver. I don't drive as slow as my Grandmother car might indicate. But, it IS an 18-year old 4 cylinder with 127,000 miles on it. One can't "gun it" from a stop. So, yes, it may take me longer than average to reach full speed. But is that extra 15 seconds really that horrible that you must endanger everyone else on the road to violently and crazily swerve around me?
And, once I do reach speed, I consistently do five mph over the posted speed limit. No more, no less. I'm not going "slow" I'm going whatever is permissible by law. And yes, if that means it's only 30mph speed limit, you'll see me doing somewhere around 34 or 35. Why? Because (a) I'm not a dumb kid anymore who speeds just for the hell of it (b) I'm aware of the speed limits because as an attentive driver, I, ya know, pay attention to that sorta thing and (c) it's not worth a ticket. Been there, done that, grew up and learned better. So what's the excuse of the people who are as old or older than I am that blaze past me in this well-known, well-policed neighborhood? Shouldn't they know better too? And look, when you go hurtling past me, don't give ME a dirty look as if I'm the one doing something wrong. Hello? Which one of us is breaking the law again...? Oh yeah, that's right. It's you.
I'm just so blown away with the rush-rush-rush, me-me-me impatience of drivers these days. Given the ever increasing price of gas, it's in your best interest NOT to guzzle a ton of it gunning as hard as you can off the line and maintaining an even speed that's appropriate to the speed limit of the road you're on. If you're not into driving like a decent human being because it's the Right Thing To Do, at least do it because it's the Right Thing For Your Wallet. The rest of us will still thank you for it.
