If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
Normally I wouldn't bring up bad drivers since they're everywhere but this guy was such a piece of shit, he deserves special recognition today. For everyone reading, I've made a handy diagram using my awesome mspaint skills to illustrate just how dumb this guy was.
(the red arrow is the path which I was traveling)
The road I was turning unto (#1) is one lane east to west with a second lane open to left turns only. When the lane was clear at the light I started to turn right before asshole in the Jaguar, who was too impatient to wait in the turn lane for on coming traffic to go through the light, decides to cut me off and yell out the side of his window at me. I kindly gave him the finger and followed behind him to the stop light (#2). The whole time this asshole is looking at me from his side window and going extra slow for whatever reason Im not really sure.
By the time I reach the second light, I've already gotten over him being a dick but apparently a minute or 2 into sitting at the light, he opens his door and starts yelling something at me which I couldn't hear since my windows were rolled up and I was playing music, I just nodded my head sarcastically which I think set him off.
We go through the second light, again, he is just staring me down from in front when we get to the third light (#3). He sees me put on my turn signal and instead of just going through the green light like a normal person, he stops AT A GREEN LIGHT so his car is next to mine while Im turning left. By the point the whole thing is so ridiculous I dont even give him the time of day to look but Im sure he was screaming something else to me.
You know what? Fuck that asshole and fuck out of state drivers!
My only solace is that I've probably ruined his entire day now. He's going to go to whatever shithole he's from (his liscence plate said Georgia), probably beat his wife out of anger and curse my name as he goes to bed.
Or at least thats what I hope.
one more time asshole...
This is the true story....
...of how my roommate
Nate (the one some of you know and love), is going to try out for the Real World when casting directors stop in Ann Arbor on Thursday to pick someone for the new season of the show. I can't believe there have been 19 seasons already (!), I stopped watching when I was in high school.
Anyway, my only serious advice to him was to play up on the fact that he was adopted (maybe get all teary eyed and angry about it), He's never really cared about finding his real parents anyway but they dont have to know that ;). It's his best chance of getting on the show though I willing to bet they can find plenty of other stereotypical "angry black guy" from Detroit anyway.
Copper Harbor pictures
This is about half of my pictures of Copper Harbor, I'll be putting the remaining pictures up hopefully today, if not by the end of the week.
my good fortune continues.
Between finding $75 in free gas and $20 in a Dennys parking lot last night (mind you, I didn't actually eat there...long story), I'm starting to wonder why all this good fortune is coming onto me.
Can anyone explain that?
What horrible thing is going to happen to me once this fortune runs out?
Maybe I'll stay indoors this weekend for my own safety.
This could be my lucky day!
I scored $75 in free gasoline yesterday!
How you ask? Gather 'round and I'll tell you.
It's not really THAT interesting to be honest, I just happened to find a keyring on the street yesterday evening that had a few club and discount cards. One of which was for
Speedy Rewards.
James and I decided to see how many points were on the card and sure enough, 52,200+!! So we got a $50 gift card which I took and another $25 gift card which he took!
Score!
I usually never end up getting this lucky, hopefully this isn't the end of my good fortune.
Edit: The key ring also had two keychains of St. Jude on it. Was this some kind of sick joke to see if I would give the thing back to it's rightful owner?
Nah
Eat a cockroach, skip in line
How many people are honestly going to do this? You still have to pay to get into the park. I mean maybe if I was going to a GOOD amusement park like
Cedar Point I might do it but for Six Flags?
No thanks.
GURNEE, Illinois (AP) -- Why wait in line when you can just eat a cockroach?
That's the question Six Flags Great America is asking thrill seekers during a Halloween-themed FrightFest. The amusement park is daring customers to eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach in exchange for unlimited line-jumping privileges.
The promotion, which has Lake County Health Department officials shaking their heads, starts October 7.
Anyone who chows down the entire 2- to 3-inch horned cockroach gets a pass for four people to cut to the front of ride lines through October 29.
Park officials insist it's safe to eat the crunchy critters, but health officials are cautioning participants.
Consuming live roaches might increase risks of gastrointestinal illness and allergies, according to Bill Mays, Lake County Health Department's community health director.
Cockroach eaters will have to sign waivers and still pay admission fees, said Six Flags spokesman James Taylor.

Here comes hot nancy shes steppin right on time
My left wrist has been hurting for a couple of days now. I wonder if it's carpal tunnel syndrome. Probably not, but 3 years of solid typing on my job is getting to me a little. I just really want some workers' compensation is that so much to ask for?
So a little about the title of this post, my father was approached by a prostitute the other day while he was at the convience store down the street from his house. Normally they'll make their offer, you deline, they leave...simple enough right?
OH BUT NOT THIS ONE!
She starts grabbing at the steering wheel in his car and then his crotch (funny and disturbing at the same time) and keeps insisting for $5 she'll give him head and it'll be a couple of minutes of his time. He pushes her away from the himself immediately and then she proceeds to punch him in the head! Seriously, she HAD to have been on something but what makes it weird was this was at 8 in the morning! in clear daylight of anyone who could've seen what was going on. So instead of calling the police on the cracked out whore and get her off the street like a normal person does, he swallows his pride and goes home instead pissed off while she's left wandering the streets looking for her next fix.
I've cleaned up the story a little from his interpretation. It was just uncomfortable hearing it from my 60+ year old father but I still found it amusing.
Back to work.
I felt like putting some pictures up
These are a couple of pictures I took about 2 weeks ago that I haven't really thought of putting on here until now.
This first set comes from the
Tollgate Wetlands, which is located just down the street from my house. Jill and I have gone there now a couple of times. I decided to take a couple pictures of the animals around there. At this point I've seen rabbits, ducks, house sparrows and seagulls. There are a few bat houses in the middle of the park but so far I haven't seen any (thankfully!) around the area.
These last two are of a car I just happened to come across on my lunch break one afternoon. I dont know the story behind this car or who drives it but it was the absolute most bizarre looking piece of work to a car I'd seen since one of my old co-workers
spray painted his car several years ago.
I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the front and back since they guy was coming back but the hood had a giant
Spartan logo with MSU ALUMNI written on it and the back had some other obnoxious stickers on it. The whole thing seemed to be held together in some kind of weird decoupage.
Thats it for now.
Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Pretty uneventful weekend.
Didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything really.
The dryer decided to break however leaving me having to drive a bunch of wet clothes to the nearest laundromat and having to deal with every stereotypical poor piece of trash in exsistance it seemed. If I have to hear one more large woman yell at her kids to stop running around the laundromat or teasing their younger siblings it'll be too fucking soon.
I just realized this morning when I put on my clothes that they still smell terrible. I put them in the dryer late friday evening and went to bed before they (didn't) finish. I didn't check them until the afternoon on saturday by which point they started to smell like mildew. I thought using a couple of dryer sheets would've solved this but apparently I was incorrect. I only hope none of my co-workers notice. I whored myself in cologne to try and cover the scent and will be taking my clothes back to my parents house to rewash them.
Now that I think about it, my weekend sucked.
a moon full of stars and astral cars
Theres no excuse I could give towards my recent posting drought. I've been either too busy or not interested enough to share whats been going on. If there were people reading this before I'm willing to bet they're not anymore. Oh well, fuck it.
Jill and I went on a 4 day vacation last week to Copper Harbor. The drive was long and the area was deserted but this was one of those vacations to get away from everyone rather than having a full schedule of things to do so it was really nice. It's always beautiful in the U.P. I swear I'm going to move up there someday. I'll have pictures posted as soon as I have them developed. I chose not to use my cameraphone this time.
Everything else about my week was pretty boring so I think this will be it for now. It's 2:30am now and I should probably go to bed.
Better updates later.
