I went to Olive Garden tonight to join Lynn for his birthday.  That much was good, it’s good to have a group get together on someone’s birthday. But…I noticed for the first time the pushing of the wines. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been there with parents before, that they… Continue reading →

I was driving back from TC tonight, and a green Pontiac Grand Prix passed me going significantly faster than me. When he merged back into the right lane he merged a little too far and almost made an unintentional exit off the freeway. So, OK, he’s a moron, but I… Continue reading →

Alright, so bein’ thug didn’t fly. I basically lacked the motivation to do all the stuff required. So, I am looking for a new goal, which will look equally impressive to the ladies, but require much less effort on my part. What I’m getting at is that I’m going to… Continue reading →

Stereotypes

No stereotype is true all the time, if it were, it would be a fact of life, not a stereotype. Not all stereotypes are bad or wrong either. Lets take an example. I drive to class most days, some days are uneventful, others are littered with people failing to observe… Continue reading →

Driving

Ok… I admit, I’m not the most amazing driver ever. The fact that my jeep resembles a huge blue golf ball confirms this. However, I follow the general rules and laws of the streets.

1. Stupid people – and by this, I do not mean people who aren’t as knowledgeable in a specific field as me, I mean people who just don’t get it and probably never will. 2. SUV’s driven by people who never intend to go off road, haul or tow anything…. Continue reading →
