Welp, it's been awhile and I could fain super-busy, but I'd have to cry Bullshit on that and I REALLY hate that 'busy' excuse for anything because I'm a firm believer in 'if you want to, you will'. Nuf said on that.

Mostly I haven't blogged b/c nothing has inspired one. Well, aside from time to kill- I was inspired this morning.

I will never claim to be the worlds' best driver (or anything for that matter) and I am quick to wave when I know I've pulled off a dick-move to stave off any car-rage that may be simmering under the surface of my fellow road-sharing friends. And there are a lot of them around here. Today I think I really ticked one off.

I was cruising on down the 95-only lane (directly adjacent to the HOV lane but about 20 cars shorter of a line to the traffic light) and when the light turned green, I hit my little gas pedal and cut off the red VW in the HOV entry lane. Sorry man, I got places to go in as little time as possible. I felt slightly bad since we've the same make of vehicle on a comraderie stand-point, but I promised not to go slow in front of them. Well either that little red engine had some fire brewing up inside that I just lit, or they were a jerk in general and I had every right to cut them off at the pass because no sooner did we round the bend to the HOV lanes ahead then they cut me off just to get onto the highway. No hurt there, touche my friend.

Then it got better.

This red VW jetta proceeded to cut off every other car in alternating lanes to climb their way up to the nearly dead-stop traffic that was not 400 yards ahead. Clearly pointless. Did that stop him/her? Oh no! This person would gun it and cut into the smallest gap causing whomever was just cut off to slam on the brakes and they did this over and over again weaving their way up. This brings me to my new favorite word for traffic-time and anytime in general:

unbe-fucking-leivable.

I'm sure after that little display that I did not inspire them completely. That little twig was fairly snapped before they got in the car this morning. And really, who is in that much of a hurry to get to work anyways? What good is that doing you when we are just creeping along at 10 mph anyways? If I had been the happy straw on that camels back I have more than a few commuters to apologize to! I'm not sure if I'm ready for that responsibility, and wouldn't you know, the hold up from today was some sort of accident which was probably caused by some other dick-head pulling some stupid move in order to be at work 2.6 seconds faster. Not worth it my friend, just not worth it.
