Ramblings of a Crowe

Where is J?

He seems to have disappeared...The last I heard he had some master project that was so top seceret if he told me what he was doing, he'd have to kill me...So, I left it at that...It makes me wonder...and I bit worried...

What sort of deviant scheme are you cooking up now? Hmmm?

And J...did you make all the "c's" to "k's" on purpose? That's been bothering me for awhile... ;-)

Alas, once again we missed our next year of FCC...Piggy used the excuse he had to do house work...but I really know it was his fear Yekene's (or whatever the hell his name is) new dress...

Heh...

Anyway...You know, after all my complaining about bad drivers, I nearly got hit THREE times today. Three...At least I was in my car, but still...people just not paying attention. One woman, who's stupidity prompted me to give her the "You're number one, Ace" signal, pulled her big ass suburban into my lane, forcing me off the road. Why? Because she didn't have the forsight to see the turn lane she needed so badly up ahead. So, it was then a legit excuse for her to run me into a lane of oncoming traffic, forcing me to a full stop. I wish my horn wasn't so wimpy...but I laid on it like you wouldn't believe, calling her every name in the book...I guess people call it road rage...*sigh* But who came blame us these days...I had half the mind to let her hit me...but then I remembered it was the only car I had...and it's only two years old...

Another thing that pisses me off (while I'm on a roll)...People who talk loud on their cell phones in public places....

Why....................................................................?

Why must they do this? Do they think everyone around them wants to hear their converstation about how Billy needs a ride from soccar and the laundry is in the wash ready to be taken out, and Aunt Mable got lost in Walmart again...silly woman...she should be in a home?

I mean, people talking on their cell phones doesn't piss me off...but when they feel the need to SHOUT their private converstaions in a place that isn't really all that noisy bugs the hell out of me. For example....I'm at the gym, ridind the exercise bike and listening to the radio while this woman behind me on the tredmill fires up her cell phone then proceeds to practically scream her evening plans into her phone...I learned all about how she doesn't like her boyfriends friends and how badly she hates the new bar "Chicas Locas" or whatever it's called...I even learned that she was working major overtime and wouldn't be able to get free until seven pm....I wonder how many good songs I missed on the radio while listening to her drivel. Another example...Sunday, when I was at the theater to see Resident Evil, there was about 12 people including me and my friend. Not exactly brimming with noise and excitment. Many of us were talking quietly with each other before the movie began, when this 12 or 13 year old girl whips out her mom's cell phone and starts shouting at her sister or brother (some sibling). She talked so loud I couldn't stop looking at her...at first, I chalked it up to pre-teen hormones and the need to look "cool". You know, the whole "Look at me on a cell phone. I look grown up." deal that little girls and boys feel sometimes....But after about FIVE MINUTES of it, I got really irritated. I finally looked at my friend and stated in a normal, but easily heard voice (since they were sitting about five seats from us) that "You know, people who talk unnecessarily loud on their cell phones in public places just pisses the hell out of me. Can't the do that crap outside? Or talk quieter? I don't want to hear their converstation..." My friend just chuckled...and the girl looked at me, then ended her phone call shortly after.

TAKE IT OUTSIDE FOLKS! If you just HAVE to shout into your cell phone for no reason, do it somewhere else! No one wants to hear your stupid converstations. No one thinks you look cool with a cell phone. Practically EVERYONE has one these days anyway...there's nothing special about it.

*fumes*

Is there anyone left in this world who understands the word "manners"? It's all about me, me, me, me, me, these days. Have a little respect for the people around you for crying out loud. And use some damn common sense....
