HA! Whatever...

Yeah, first blog entry. I'm not big on proper grammar... hell, most times I probably won't bother to capitalize. You'll get used to it. Or not. lol

Ok. Why do this? I need an outlet for venting and complaining about the way things are. It is possible you will find much of it either funny, agree with it, or feel I'm just a cry baby. Whichever, I find most things in life laughable. Sometimes it's easier to laugh than consider the stupidity involved.

To begin, I am a 36yr old married guy, with a son, cat, and dog. Had a rough life by most peoples standards. Divorced parents, poverty, homelessness, prison(yeah), etc. Regardless, I try to have a positive outlook on Life. But there are just some times ya gotta say, "Wtf?!".

For instance, road rage. I live by the motto: Common Decency and Respect for Others. (Haven't always, but things change when ya start thinking...) Road Rage. Have to use cap's. People are actually proud of this. They charge through traffic, cutting people off, tailgating, honking their horn... "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!? MOVE IT!!!!" ... ... Do you really think the problem is with the OTHER people? Just one of these people on their way home from work causes every third driver they pass to become enraged. If that isn't bad enough, they are both aware and proud of the fact they flipped out worse than anyone else they passed/cut off. How do I know? You don't honestly think they act that way on a first date with some hotty. They go to the airport to get granny and scream in a complete loss of sensibility at traffic? Nah, they know what they are doing and do it willfully.

You're most likely one of those people. Aren't you? Come on, admit it! Be proud of it. Might as well. For the most part, it's a safe way to unleash all your frustrations. Right? Idiots. lol What do you think your kids think of you when your screaming at that guy ahead of you? You wonder why kids talk back, get in fights at school, go nuts with guns and knives. You are showing your kids that uncontrolled rage is cool. If you can't control yourself on the 30 minute drive from work to home, how do you expect them to act? I mean, it's cool to yell and scream and say that if that guy stops you're going to get out and kick his/her butt. Kid's assume you will and should do just that. You've been showing them it's proper every day. So, they take that step and you say, "I don't know what drove them to do that!". Like I said, idiots.

Maybe I went too fast for you. I drive the speed limit' everywhere. Would you get ticked off at me if I happened to be ahead of you? More than likely. Would you yell at me? Honk? Tailgate? Pass me as soon as you could and cut it close pulling back in to teach me a lesson? I'll admit, it'll teach me something. That your one of the worst drivers in that area. I know. I'm a jerk for thinking that. You HAVE to be a better driver... You are going faster and getting to the next stop light quicker. Of course, my panicking wife and 4yr old in the back seat don't share your inflated opinion of yourself. How could anyone consider you to be anything but a great driver? You push your vehicle to it's very limits every minute you are on the road. Only a great driver would do that. Right? Idiot. lol

Yes, I tend to laugh at things like that. Stupid people do stupid things. Humor centers around the idiotic. I admit that I am not perfect. I have, myself yelled at people in traffic. Typically, it was at people that drive like this. I do not see any point in acting like a psycho at any point of any day. I would like car manufacturers install "rage" triggered cameras in cars, so you can show all your friends your latest exploits of road rage. Not to mention, let you see how stupid you are acting. Very few people look cool screaming with veins popping out of their eyeballs.

Anyway, the next time you're weaving in and out of traffic and getting ticked at the people in your way, think. Not about what you want to do to the driver ahead of you. Think how you would act if you had a hotty in the car with you, going out on a first date. Act according to that. Sure, you get irritated. Then you consider how awesome it is to be in the same vehicle as that hotty. Going somewhere nice. Happy thoughts, people. They may not cause you to defy gravity, but they can make your days a bit less stressful. All that rage you think your releasing isn't making you feel better. Rage discolors the way you look upon the world. It causes you to criticize everything to the exclusion of all other emotions. You don't expunge rage by releasing it continually. You just open yourself to it more readily. Life has enough stress for the average person. Why add to it? Slow down to the flow of traffic and relax.

Think about things that make you feel good about your life.

Think about what you are going to complain about in your blog tomorrow.
