Merging: the ultimate challenge

I know I've been ranting about driving lately. Maybe I'm just driving during "early bird special time" when all the old people are out? Sigh.   So why is it so hard to merge into traffic? I mean, getting on the freeway seems to be a life challenge for some. They drive down the ramp and maybe hit 45 then slow to 20-25 mph and try to move into the slow lane. That's not merging. That's just f**king up traffic.   Today it wasn't a freeway merge that got me. (And no, I'm not referring

Toothache

I have a massive toothache coming in, called my wisdom tooth. It's the last one, but the most painful one, thankfully it's coming in normally (and being a pain).   I would've had my wisdom teeth taken out awhile ago, but since I was suffering from seizures, my dentist didn't want to risk the pain and such to yank them then. By the time they were under control, I lost my dental coverage and have no way to pay for them to be taken out. FOr now, all I can do is just take a vicoden when the pain g

Why I Hate Zealots

Telling time by fireworks...

Some people use clocks, others the sun, some get really crazy and ask someone else, but not me... 9:30 pm, rain or shine, Disneyland fireworks are lighting up the sky over my house and so at least once a day, I always know what time it is.   Anyway.   I've been listening to The Cab a lot recently. I can't really bring myself to listen to Panic at the Disco just yet. I know, I clearly have issues. Again, anyway. So the singer from The Cab is also the songwriter, and that translates to writin

Conservatives and Liberals

In political discussions, I've noticed distinct differences between Conservatives and Liberals.   Conservatives tend to bluster. They usually cite facts they have read from the various conservative e-mails that fly around, the bulk of which have been exposed as false by sites such as Snopes. That doesn't matter. They'll regurgitate them every once in awhile to rile each other up. They are convinced they are right even when they are wrong. If you don't agree with them, you are wrong. Perio

What I want........ What I need.

So my fiance and I made our first compromise the other day. I've been wanting to buy a street bike, and she's been wanting a new car. Technically, neither one of us needs either, but we both have our minds made up. So I made a deal with her..... If she lets me go to the Kawasaki dealer, I'll get her the car she wants. We both win.   Granted, my bike's going to be a lot cheaper than her car, but I understand that a new car is a much more practical purchase than a motorcycle. I should mention t

Two Must-See Films

Inglorious Basterds is the newest Quentin Tarantino film. It's about a paramilitary group led by Brad Pitt. Their job is torture and kill Nazis and return to their leader with Nazi scalps. It should be a gloriously violent film. Here is the trailer.   The other is GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It looks like a great film, and with today's advancements, the special effects should totally kick ass. Here is the trailer.   I must see these films, and I think everyone else should too.

Driving Slow in the Fast Lane

Any of you remember the "Far Side" cartoon on these people? It showed special chambers in hell, one for murderers,one for thieves, and one for people who drive slow in the fast lane? I wish I believed there was a hell; then I could believe there would be some justice for these morons.   Today I was motoring down the freeway and came upon a minivan (of course) blocking my way in the fast lane. The speed limit on the freeway is 60, everyone was going 65, I was going 70, along with the peopl

Crazy Little Thing

Well, I have a job interview Monday with a program that deals with developmentally disabled people. If I get it (and I hope I do) I'll be working as a substitute and work with these people at various group homes. It'll be challenging and a lot of fun, better pay, and hopefully better hours then I get now at my old job. On another note, I also have an appointment with my rehabilitation job coach to start looking at different programs I can get in and basically go back to school. It'll be fun ther

REPUTATION SCREW OFF

You think your cool cause you use the reputation system?   You think your hot cause I say something cool you gotta neg me for it?   Well... f**k YOU and your stupid reputation system.   Take that janky crap out so all the scared introverted losers don't have to go all negative because they did not like something you say.   Take that janky crap out because I can rep myself into positive (that is a glitch btw)   Rep system is fail and it'll ruin the site because people will get in rep w

So much for stage two!

Haha, okay so maybe not yet but with last night....   Well I'll start at the beginning. The beginning of yesterday, anyway. Yesterday was a Tuesday, my day off, so I had lots of free time and its also the day I do my best to find myself a date. During the day time I went out and took the Florida Criminal Justice Basic Abilities Test. While I was there I decided to go ahead and start the PASS process, which when complete will put me into the candidate pool for law enforcement agencies across al

Cheever wasn't cheery

For the past month or so I've been reading Blake Bailey's biography of John Cheever. Rather I should say up until this morning I've been reading this bio. It's one thing to suffer from depression and quite another thing to read about someone who not only was exceedingly depressed, but was drunk most of the time. I've done the drunk most of the time bit and it wasn't fun reading about the fifths of gin and whiskey Cheever was downing on a daily basis.   So why start? Well, I didn't know he was

Sex on the Freeway

I had this rather surreal experience last week. I thought about blogging about it, but then changed my mind. I figured it might be a little bit out there for the prurient tastes of the GA crowd. But it continues to haunt me in a pleasant and unpleasant way, and I mean, what's the use of having a blog if you can't write about weird shit, right?   I had gone out with a few friends (boys night out) and drank, played cards, that kind of shit, and ended up being the designated driver since all I

Past, Present, and Future

It seems like yesterday that I left a small town in Kansas and moved to an outer suburb of Dallas. How do 7 months pass so quickly? It's crazy. So what is a still fairly young gay guy doing here? I needed a change in my life. I really did. As much as the mostly isolated area south of the KC metro has been home for most of my life, I was miserable there. At the time it was winter. I could not find a decent job, I was tired of the cold winters, and there's nothing there for someone my age. Sure, I

Back in the Saddle

I was pleased to land the contract: 30 stores from July to mid-August. As far as contracts go it was modest but for a solo operator like me it was just right.   I got the package in the last week of June that covered the stores and the scope of work. I was expected to come up with a schedule. The contract was administered by a nation-wide systems integrator that I had worked with from time to time. They would be skimpy on the hours but as long as I was good about documenting the expenses, thin

What defines 'Great' music?

When you think of the greatest songs of all time, what do you think of?   Motown?   Elvis?   The Beatles?   Taylor Swift?   Jonas Brothers?   Personally, I think of all of the above (*cough*). But while I make fun of Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers, the idea of what constitutes great music is entirely subjective and the topic of endless debate amongst both friends and colleagues alike.   Is it beautiful lyrics? A talented singer? A great producer? A catchy hook? A memorable

Buicks

Anyone ever driven a Buick? They're designed solely and completely for old people. They are soft and cushy, so those brittle old bones won't get shaken up if the car hits a bump. They're quiet so old people can't hear everyone honking at them, although that's not really all that important. Just turn the hearing aid down. But they're like land yachts when it comes to take a corner, wallowing through the sea that is the road, listing dramatically either way. That doesn't matter to the elderl

Happy Blog Time!

Well... be aware everyone... well mainly those in New Jersey.... I got my license back! It's been two years since it was taken away from me due to a medical condition but after a struggle to get it back, I have it again! I'm really happy with it because I finally have the ability to drive (with a car and insurance that is lol) and can start making headway on becoming more independent.   A lot of job's that I was seeking required someone to have a license, and now that I have it I will be going
