Go Go Speed Racer

It has been a little bit since my last posting, mostly because I was busy. But lately as I drive around there has been something that I have noticed.
Here I am cruising at about 60 mph on the freeway because while traffic is not bumper to bumper, it is however "thick".
Then something catches my eye in my rear view mirror...it's go go speed racer and he's (automatically a he) weaving in and out of traffic. The worst part of it is when he starts to tail gate a person who obviously is not going slow by choice. Why would go go speed racer pick on someone like this.
Then they pick on the wrong person, the person who then starts to go slower because now go go speed racer is tail gating them. At this point the farther you are the better because you don't want to get involved in this.
There must be something so overly aggressive in go go speed racers personality that he feels the need to tail gate people in traffic...the funny thing is...they are just stupid! Take a physics class dumbass!

Help Anyone?

So yesterday I was driving along the 210 through Sunland and there was a guy on the side of the road with his hood open and he was waving a shirt. So as I passed him I thought, well he probably doesn't have a cell phone, the call boxes are on the other side of the freeway, he can't run across the freeway...I would stop but he might be faking it...then I thought it would be good if there was a number that I could call, give them the exact location of the man, and they could help him.
So I called Sprint's roadside service, and it was a 5-10 min. wait. Then I called 411 and they gave me the number to the executive office's of the CHP. Then I called 911 and I got a busy signal!
Somewhere there has to be a phone number that you can call for roadside assistance that is not for yourself. That would be the only way that I could help someone because there is no way I am stopping.

Maybe if you know a number, leave it in the comments because I wish I new of something!

HI!!!!!

So today, I went running after work in my neighborhood, and it struck me as odd that no one says hi. I passed a couple people, and would attempt to make eye contact and they just wouldn't budge. I was as if I was George Bush or something....
Once I started to think about it though I realized they probably aren't saying hi to me because I am not open to their hello.
So my sociology experiment began. As I was running up this hill a guy was bringing his trash out to the street, so I looked up and said "HI!" and he said "Hi! How are you?" and I said "good!" then not 2 seconds later I saw another person and said "Hi!" and she said "Hi!".
So, as of today my conclusion for my experiment is that people only say hi when you either say hi or you smile and let them say hi to you first.
Tomorrow, if I run, I will test the same theory. Every other person I run by I will say hi, and every other person I will not. My hypothesis for this experiment is that everyone I say hi to will say hi back, however those I do not say hi to will not say anything.
But here is my question...Why can't they say hi to me first? Why is it that I have to say hi, isn't anyone nice anymore?

Nap Time

Don't you wish we all could take naps during the day, like when we were in kindergarten? A 20 min. power nap to get you through the rest of the day.
unfortunately, it is the immaturity of people that lets us not have this. If we were to have a nap room people would have sex in it and that is why we cannot have a nap room.
When I was in college I was able to do this and I loved it. Every Thursday I would be up at 6am, out the door by 7am in work by 7:30 am then leave at 10:30am to catch my 11:20am class (in Brentwood), then a 20 to 30 min nap in my dorm and back to work in Downtown L.A. from 2pm to 5pm. If it wasn't for that nap, I would not have been able to get through the rest of the day!
So, everyday at work I yearn for that 20 min that I could lay my head down and revive a little for the rest of the day.
BUT!!!! Because guys can't keep it in their pants and women can't keep their pants on...I will have to continue taking naps in my car at lunch.
BTW, I enjoyed my free lunch today from Corner Bakery :o)

Free Stuff

Lately, I have come to learn how to get free stuff when I am not happy. So far I have racked up $30 at Corner Bakery, $25 at Best Buy, two meals at In-N-Out, $10 at Olive Garden, free business cards and various discounts and desserts at restaurants.

I had a philosophy teacher tell me once that a well worded letter can get you very far if you are displeased. She once got free airfare as well as a free weekend stay in Las Vegas because she wrote a letter to the hotel and airline about her bad experience. That stuck with me, what better way to make up for a bad thing than to get something for free.
The trick is, you throw in the convo or letter that you are less likely to return to the place because of the experience. No need to get angry, I also usually throw in a "I understand that things can go wrong", that's a good one.
It's all about working the system as well, you have to know that if you e-mail a complaint in that they keep track of your name and so you are less likely to get free stuff ever again. But if you are at the location and they give you a certificate right then and there, you can always go back with another complaint at sometime, or complain on-line.
So I will enjoy my free lunch from Corner Bakery tomorrow, because they can NEVER get my to go order right!

Blinker Blinker

I think that it is amazing that people don't use their blinkers...
I can understand that you would not use your blinker if it were 3 in the morning and there were no cars to blink at. But when it is 8:30 in the morning and there a ton of cars, instead of just crossing over the 3 lanes and expecting that I have mental telepathy just isn't going to work.
It really is not that hard to do, they place the blinker in a place were there is limited motion from the steering wheel to the lever. When you buy your car you pay for that feature, so why not use it? It would be like buying food but not eating it...

Whatever, I am just saying that it would be nice to see someone use it once and a while!

Softball Fury

So i wanted to make a quick post regarding my life on the softball field.

So tonight, we lost, but what I really didn't like was the catcher who sat on home plate so that when you came in for a run you had to touch the base with your toe in order to touch it.

Once someone got called out for not touching the plate I got a little angry, okay so I yelled at the ump, and simply explained that she was hovering home plate. The ump said that she was allowed to do that. so, I came to a conclusion: body check her.

I really think God did not want me to get hurt so early in the season though because when it was time for me to bat I hit a foul ball and the catcher caught it. Otherwise, I would have body checked her when I came into home...

Anyway, other than that we played a good game, I was impressed by the team. We played smart and did okay!

Too bad I missed the season finale of the Apprentice though :-(

Road Rage

*sigh*, what a beautiful morning.....birds chirping, perfect weather and a guy making a gun out of his hand and pretending to shoot you.....
Let me elaborate, I was about to get on the 5 freeway and I saw that it was bumper to bumper traffic. "That's okay!" I said, so I proceeded to move over to get off at Zoo Drive, I did this by cutting over three lanes, okay not such a great idea. So the guy behind me, who was far enough away that he did not have to slam on his brakes or anything, honks and gives me the finger (how nice, I love that, thank you) I then slam on my gas so I do not slow him down anymore than I had to. Most idiots would go slow, that's when it is okay to get mad. So he stays far enough behind me through the turn and through the soccer field area. Then when we get to the stop sign we pulls up next to me points his hand (the gun gesture) and "shoots" me. Not funny. Then, he pulls his car into my lane and I have to slam on my brakes. I wasn't pissed off until that moment, so I honked my horn for a while but it wasn't doing any good. He turned left I turned right and then he was out of my life :-( I'll miss him. asshole.
Now it just seems to me that this was unnecessary, this makes me think to myself what is wrong in his life that makes him such an asshole. Once I started to think about this I felt better because karma is a bitch. So I would like to think that it is out of my hands. Now karma may have already gotten him because he had a crappy car...just sayin :-)
