dino head My Almost-daily Journal

About
I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind. I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!

Cellular Thoughts...

I just had a thought...

I'm listening to all the Verizon commercials stating that you get free cellular-to-cellular calls with all Verizon customers. Think about this. What would happen if every person/entity in the Nation that ever talks on a phone, switched to Verizon? I'm talking about every single person in America, including people, as well as corporations? Would Verizon go bankrupt? They'd never make money, other than the basic cellular charge. Is that what they're after? Can you imagine? You'd never pay for a call again. You could literally call from Rhode Island to Oregon and never hang up... ever. There would be no such thing as domestic long distance, and you'd never have to worry about "minutes".

Monday Morning Vigilante

Why is it that many pompous, conceiting, a-holes on the road feel that their time is more important than yours?

Case in point: Wattles (17 Mile Rd.) & John R, and 17 Mile & Dequindre. The latter is where Sterling Heights/Macomb County meets up with Troy/Oakland County. It bothers me down to the core that Sterling Heights/Macomb County somehow can afford to offer five-lane roads, but when you get into Troy/Oakland County (probably the richest areas in Michigan), traffic whittles down to two lanes. It's lame to me, and clearly shows that Troy/Oakland County are governed by primates.

Wattles & John R has a right turn lane, even though there is only one lane after the intersection going West. For some reason, there are at least three to five a-holes that think they're allowed to pass you in the right lane (their time is definitely more important than all the people waiting patiently at the light). I'm a mother f'ing vigilante. I just don't let it happen. I always keep an eye in my rear-view when I'm at that light, and when I see a f'ing hero driving like a bat out of hell, I just get over into the right lane. All I see usually is a cloud of white smoke and a bunch of sign language coming out of the car behind me.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time. I just don't put up with it. I'm a vigilante on wheels, and I'm always ready to discuss this with the a-hole, if they're willing.

So, if you're one of those people that think your time is more important than mine, and you never learned manners in kindergarten, just hope that I'm not watching you come up on the right in my rear view. I've put people up curbs and into ditches in the past, and one time, instigated a police intervention to the person I put up on the curb.

A-hole, inconsiderate drivers is the only thing that stresses me out on the road. If everybody was considerate, there wouldn't be accidents.

Just Checking (Scanned @ Decoma)

 

Just checking to see if I can still email in my blog entries. Isn't the
internet a wonderful thing?

Going on 11 weeks... Hopefully, next week I'll be able to lift the NDA.

Oh... I had to go to Shreveport, Louisiana for a few days last week. When I
got off the plane, the first thing I thought, "Gee, smells like algae
around here. " I guess that's apropos, since the state is basically a
swamp. Weird thing: the water tasted like algae, and even the fountain pop
had an algae aftertaste. I can see now why they sell bottled water in the
world. It's not for us living near Detroit (who I hear is #2 in the nation
for water quality, 2nd to Florida)... It's for people that are forced to
drink algae water. It was tolerable but definitely not quenching... Pretty
gross actually.
