It's not road rage if you're right
I am not a hundred percent positive but I think I detect a nasty attitude coming from your direction. First of all, I thought I was being very sneaky to go to the car wash at night, who in the world washes their car in the dark when you can't even see how it looks. BTW it looks awesome.
I have two complaints to register:
1) I bought a ten dollar tin of popcorn from the boy scouts a while back because I thought it was the right thing to do, you know, help out a little boy and return the favor from when I was a kid and I had to do that crap. I am not complaining that the ten dollar popcorn only has about twenty five pieces of popcorn in it. That is okay with me. My problem is that I am now suspiciously receiving popcorn catalogs in the mail which are addressed to me, not current resident. This could be a coincidence, or the little shit gave my name out and now this address will receive popcorn catalogs with my name on them long after I'm dead and gone.
2) Mainers do not know how to merge.
Correct traffic merging procedure:
a) Accelerate up the ramp,
b) Turn signal on,
c) Check to see that it is clear, and then merge left.
Mainer style:
a) Drive very slowly up the ramp, at least 30 mph slower than the flow of traffic.
b) Do not signal or check your mirrors at all or even glance over into the next lane.
c) Stay in the merging lane all the way to the end, until it forces you into traffic because there is no more road left there.
That is how every Mainer does it.
I'm moving to Japan in six months.
Last night I had to go out because someone needed a ride to the hospital, and I got behind some jackass who was driving too slow on the highway and it was that situation where you can't pass him yet because the guy behind you pulls out and goes for the pass before you get a chance. I wasn't having it. I pulled out too and got in front of that guy, accelerating quickly and not causing him any trouble, he didn't have to touch his brakes and he was a safe distance behind me. Anyway the fuckin guy brighted me as if I was the dick, when really he should have waited and showed the courtesy to allow me the first chance to pass. As soon as he brighted me I stepped hard on my brakes, hard enough to lift the tail of my car up and scare the bastard. He backed way off and pulled back into the slow lane. Victory. My car says, "do not fuck with me, and if in doubt, I go first." He should have known better.
I want to add an item to my christmas list: A big thermos, big enough to hold a pot of coffee.

Hahaha - people do that in NJ too. Makes me crazy. Fear of getting into lane. Ridiculous. At least you showed him. I would have tailgated the tiny butt on your little car and scared you.....
I am tired. We went to my friends house last night (Suffern, NY) to cook dinner. Roy drank so I was driving. It started snowing, badly and I had to drive home in the new car. Bad - I was doing 70-80 all the way home, the entire time cursing Roy for making me take the new car. My truck is a four wheel drive and I go off road in the snow with it. I am very comfortable driving it in inclement weather. Not so the new car. Never drove it in snow before. The car handled beautifully. It has this little esp button you press when slippery conditions. If you go into a skid the back wheels start turning to straighten out the car. Great. I got home after two. it was a late night.
This morning, I had trouble waking up to take Lu ice skating. the idiot (Roy), yells wake up from the bathroom door at me (scared me). I am not a morning person, and I don't handle waking well, especially when someone is yelling. So I threw a pencil at him. Then he has the balls to tell me that he will take Luna ice skating. I got pissed, at this point, I can't go back to sleep and I asked him why he woke me. He said just to let me know that he will take her. So I told him that in his idiocy, had I woken up and Lu and him were not home, knowing she has ice skating, I would assume he took her. To piss him off I refused to let him come and I took her ice skating. I am still mad at him. fucker ruined my whole day. I am waiting for a chance to stab him with a sharp instrument.
I am going to visit my parents and then I am getting a christmas tree, I hope he impales himself on a remote control the next time he sits down to watch football. Nothing would make me happier.
Can you tell I am pissed? because I am, I really am. I have no desire to see people and I want to yell.

I got a christmas tree last night too, I took a picture with my cell phone just now but I don't know if you've ever tried to take a picture of your christmas tree with a cell phone before but it can't be done. The lights didn't show up and it looked pathetic, I didn't even want to post it, even with my photoshop skills. It looks good though. It's fake but somehow I got sap on my hands when I put it together.
I love it when you are mad at Roy.
