990819 - Cell Phones
Posted Aug 19, 1999
Ok, this sort of goes along with the drivers. Why the hell do you people insist on talking on your damned phone while you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle? HUH? I know you think you are ALL safe drivers (yeah, right...look at my 1st entry!), but if you were, you wouldn't be on the phone while driving! If I am wrong, someone let me know, but you'd best have a good argument! Becuase!!!, holding a phone, not matter how small, blocks a great deal of your (perifial) vision, which is esseintial for .....what's the word.....DRIVING!!! If you are THAT important, then you can pull over to the side of the road and talk! If you are THAT important, people will wait for you! HELL, you have a phone! When you are done with your mega-important call, you can call whoever you are going to see, call them and let them know you are goning to be a tad late! I bet they won't mind....just pull over to do it!!!! Now, I personally wouldn't mind if you you were to use a speaker phone: both of you hands are free, there is nothing blocking you vision (except, maybe, your big hair (Southerners) or ego (self-important So Cal-ians), and the only draw back is that people might think you are talking to yourself! OH, Shed a tear! At least you're not getting caught with you finger in your nose! But believe me -- you are not so important that someone has to die just so that you can confirm your appointment to have the pimples on your ass popped!
Later!

Spam, Part 2 990818-19
Posted Aug 19, 1999
Ok, now to finish this thing about the spam the didn't get finished last night; I checked my mail --- it was SPAM --- and inadvertantly clicked submit. See, this isn't just people trying to make money, or rather scam money; friends are just as guilty. As most of you are probably arware, Little Johnny needs as liver transplant, and MicroSoft will pay a nickel for every time this email is fowarded with it's new tracking device, and will send him to Disneyland and you can go with him for FREE all becuase you annoyed your friends by warning them of all the new Virus's out there that are ao freaking dangerous and have no cures and you gotta be careful cuz they are gonna wipe out your hard drives! GIVE IT A REST PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Even you jokes are funny, rather they were when I read them a YEAR ago! And these cute little web page URLs that you send me --- I don't even go to them anymore unless I have a description of what I am about to look at. You Bastards even spam me on ICQ!!!
One last thing --- I DON'T NEED YOU FREAKING VIAGRA, HERBAL OR OTHERWISE!!! I am 28 years old, and am very capable, thank you very much! Wherever you got my email address ... however you got it ... I don't care -- LOSE IT!! DELETE IT, THROW IT AWAY,I DON'T CARE!!!!! TAKE ME OFF YOUR FREAKING LIST!!!!!
And one other thing. When you put the link in that stupid email that says, "If you recieved this email as a mistake, or if you wish to be removed from this list..." PUT THE RIGHT FREAKING ADDRESS IN THE MAIL!!! MAKE SURE IT IS A REALL ADDRESS!!! I am about to start to do some research, find out your email, and send you thousands of mail that say, "QUIT SPAMMING ME!!!!!" over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!
Have a nice day!!!

Pet Peeves and such...

Entry 990813
As this is something of a journal, I decide to use my space to air some of my greevances. Maybe this will help alleviate some of the stress from our day to day mundane lives (ok...my mundane life, your semi-mundane lives).
The first thing I want to discuss are drivers. Now, I know that most of you, at the bare minimum, have had some sort of formal driving education, ie: Driver's Ed, whether it be at public high school, Sear's (or other type) Driving School (not a plug for Sear's, just used as an example), and most of us have to at least taken Defensive Driving to clear a ticket from our records. I will admit, I have done that.....10 years ago! Learned my lesson, too!
If that is the case, then why do so many of you DRIVE LIKE CRAP? Not to single anyone or place out.....OK, I lied, I am gonna single you out!......but nowhere have I ever been was this worse than in Southern California. I swear to whatever deity you believe in that the California DMV has a deal with Cracker Jacks! They have to...to some people, their little toy surprise was a brand new official State of California permit to drive! Most of these people should be called 007, for once they get behind the wheel of a car, they treat it like a weapon! Nowhere but here have I ever seen someone go 90 miles per hour on the freeway only to get to a freaking traffic jam! Now, I am sure to be pissing a few SoCal-ians off here, only cuz you know I am right! There is a traffic jam every where in SoCal 24/7, and you know this to be true. I would much prefer to ride shotgun with a Japanese Cab Driver ( and believe me, these guys are PSYCHO!!! ) than to ever drive in SoCal again. People in SoCal are also very prone to drive 50MPH in a 30MPH zone just so they can be in front of you at a light THAT IS ALREADY RED!!!!! And regarding the infamous "California Roll Throughs" (yes people, these do exist!!!), just a little word of advice, some of actually believe the signs posted on the sides of the road, including, but not limited to those large, red, octagon shaped ones! Here's a hint, people, those letters, S*T*O*P....they spell a word...that word has a meaning...that word does not mean 'no cop no stop'....stop means QUIT FREAKING MOVING!!!!
Here is another thing I would like to know. Why is it, that when it does rain in SoCal, you people drive worse? Huh? Can someone give me a valid excuse? I have heard many, from "Well, we're just not used to it!" to "Well, since it doesn't rain much, there is a lot of oil build up on the road, and that makes the road slicker!" To these and the other excuses, I say, "You are full of crap!" Unless you are from Oregon or Washington state, chances are pretty good that you don't drive in the rain on a regular basis! Here is a little quiz (you may have seen a question like this on your written driver's test):
In times of inclimate weather, such as rain, you should:
A) slow down and put more distance between you
the vehicle ahead of you?
B) speed up and pass the vehicle in front of
remembering to flip him the bird?
C) tailgate the vehicle ahead of you in such a
way that you can tell what color underwear he
wearing?
D) What is rain again?
And all of those that have taken offense to this (this would be those from SoCal), don't fret, don't tell me to leave, and don't worry! I have left, with no plans to return. Not anytime soon, anyway. Your infectious driving seems to have spread.....I know people didn't drive this crappy when I left....well maybe on North Central Expressway and the LBJ, but not the whole metroplex! All I can say is thanks a lot! Now I fear for my life at home, on the road....AT HOME!!!!!!!!! But we still drive better (just not by much now).
That's all for now; I am sure that something will piss me off tomorrow. If something pisses you off, let me know. Doesn't matter what -- I love a debate!
