I haven't written in her in awhile. its not that I didn't have anything to say. There's always a ton of little things that come up in life, but I just never get motivated by them enough to write about it when I get home. Maybe I'm just becoming jaded like everyone else.
But I have two examples from this morning. And surprisingly, I am motivated to write.
Are people becoming more stupid? It seems to me like this might be true. I was only out for an hour but the cluelessness of people absolutely stunned me.
I'm in McDonalds to get breakfast. I like McDonalds breakfast . . . sue me. There are three clerks. Therefore there should be three lines, right? Well there was, until these two braying cows wandered right through the whole process, set it down roughly in the middle and proceeded to make base camp. They're wandering around in circles, wondering what to order, where their kids are, what table they should sit at, all the while completely screwing up the lines and turning the whole situation into a disaster. its times like that my eyes just go dark because I feel like smacking someone.
Then I'm coming home and I have to make a left turn onto Warman Road from 51st Street. This intersection has temporarily become famous because as you no doubt know by now, a plane crashed there last night. (Friday April 1) Its all well and fine for you looky-loos to drive through this intersection or stop at the Extra Foods to look at the plane. But this is my neighbourhood. I live here. Just one street north of the accident is the one I live on. So I HAVE to take this intersection.
As you'd guess, there's about a hundred jackalopes just milling around, looking at the airplane. I really don't care about that part. There's a semi-large plane crashed on the side of the road. Its interesting. What PISSES ME OFF is that I'm trying to make a left turn here, which is a pretty treacherous endeavour, as witnessed by the red light cameras they installed a couple of years ago. So I'm trying to make a left on a yellow line, and this RETARD decides that he needs to get a better look at the plane, and he makes a swooping right, right in front of the red Dodge pickup in front of me that is leading the left turn procession. So now its a full red, and Captain Ass Goblin is STILL making is wide right, because he's looking at the god damn plane instead of driving. So the whole intersection is tied up while this putrid pit stain satisfies his curiousity.
Its times like these I remember a quote from a good friend:
"Do you ever have one of those days when you just feel like mowing down the whole crowd?"
