Reason #100 that I am an Asshole....

My impatience sometimes gets the best of me.

Sometimes I do things that make me feel so small and tiny that I wish I could reverse time just a few seconds and have a do-over.

I was late yesterday. I had somewhere to go. The Earth would crumble if I didn't get to my destination in 20 minutes and on time. There were too many people in my way and keeping me from being punctual to my softball game.

While waiting to make a left turn at a stoplight, I waited impatiently behind a grey minivan. Light turns green and I needs to f'ing go right? 5 Seconds after the light turns green the minivan slowly starts to inch forward. Slowly inching forward in a jerking fashion I start to engage his bumper with my fist in the air hoping he can glance me in his rear view mirror. I give a little beep and then at my first opportunity crank the wheel, hit the gas and take him on the outside lane like Cole Trickle.

As I hit the shoulder on the outside, my engine redlining, got one hand on the wheel and the other the air...........I glance into the van.

No I didn't. No I F'ing just didn't see what I think I'm seeing. God dammit.

I see a familiar blue tag hanging from the rear view mirror. I look more closely and notice the over sized bus driver steering wheel with the knob you can hang on to and the morphic hand gripping it.

It was a paraplegic.

C'mon God! Really?! Is this your idea of a lightning strike on a clear day?

This poor guy is probably operating the gas pedal with his mouth and using one hand to grip the steering wheel, and here I am with 2 wheels up on the curb fist pumping around the corner.

For the next 2 miles I couldn't make myself small enough to disappear into my seat. For the next 2 miles, I prayed this guy wouldn't catch up to me at any other stoplights.

Just shameful.

Thought of the Day

At least once a month you can catch some kind of UFO story online or on some tv documentary story. Do they exist? Are they aliens?

How many encounters have been documented? Cover ups? Is it really our military and we often mistake test missiles headed to Mexico City as Unidentified Flying Objects?

Here's a theory I've never heard before.

Time travelers.

An unidentified flying object could be a machine from 500 years from now. That could be possible can't it? The whole martian looking creature has been created to enhance the story, however you can't discredit the fact that there have been strange sightings of non natural objects in the air.

Think of the technology possible 500 years from now. Hasn't the theory of relativity been proven, but we just don't necessarily know how to implement it?......yet?

On the other hand 2012 is a year and a half away, it'll be the end of the world and the terrorists have won.
