details
there are some things you are just better off not knowing. even when you have an inclination... sometimes sparing the details is awesome.

True Value
despite all the crazy things that have happened, I honestly have nothing to complain about. God is so Good.

the procrastination feeling
the feeling of procrastination. i tell myself i will not procrastinate and it doesn't work, i do it anyways. and when crunch time rolls around i find myself stressing out and freaking out. it's irritating because things begin to go crazy and not work out as smoothly as they should. they end up working out, just not as great as they could if i had done it weeks in advance. you know the feeling. bleh. well check this out:

3AM traffic
alright, question... who likes traffic? Yeah and who likes it in the middle of the night? I know it is amazing. So picture this your flying on the freeway in the middle of the night because that's what you do, you fly because most people are sleeping at that time and then all of a sudden you see cones... bright orange cones in the lane to your left. So you move over a lane, no big deal. A minute later your five lane freeway is now reduced to four, and then three and then excuse me?!?! Brake lights? A pile of cars at a standstill in the middle of the night on the free way? And then you a sign flashing "freeway closed ahead." Oh joy. So now you find out that what you thought would be a glorious ride home to your comfy bed will be an extended stay on the freeway. Who knows when you will get to see that goose down pillow... because it will much longer than you anticipated.
So this freeway closure turns into an hour long nightmare because everyone is trying to merge into one lane. Those from your left and those who are just coming onto the freeway who didn't know the freeway would be closing in 3 exits. Ok stop. Who are the geniuses behind this freeway closure? Seriously. You are going to close a freeway and not tell anyone about this? Proceed to clog traffic late at night when people are already delirious--at their prime for causing vehicular accidents. I need to send someone some cookies right now because they deserve recognition for their ingenuity and strategic planning. Gotta love it.
Alright so anyways we're all going one mile an hour, right? And half of the people are idiots (well maybe smart depending on if they know where they are going) and get off before the freeway ends because they are tired of sitting in a standstill for 45 minutes. So they just get off at the 1st exit they can, they don't want to wait until the freeway actually closes. The problem with this is that everyone is tired of waiting so some people think they have the right to drive as fast as they can up the shoulder of the freeway and then squeeze into an open space in front of someone on the exit so they can make the light off the exit... as if they have been on the freeway longer than anyone else. Really? Have you? Because as far as I can tell, you may have just gotten on at the previous on ramp and you're just really selfish and can't stick it out like the rest of us. And I wish a cop to pull you over right now. Or I wish for my car to take on a life of it's own and to jump out into the shoulder and to block annoying people from trying to drive up the shoulder.
To be fair maybe they're rushing up the shoulder because of an unfortunate situation like having to pee really bad. Which I can understand. But, unfortunately I don't care because that's your fault for drinking so much in the first place. You need to wait like the rest of us. However, I do have some advice for you... 1) hold it 2) go back in time and order a side of fries instead of a soda or 3) pee in the cup that held the soda you just finished. you have options... all of which don't put others lives in danger. be smart.
ok so anyways i wait until the last possible exit i can to get off and what do i find? They close 4 lanes of the freeway for 4 miles for what? I couldn't even tell you. There were like 3 guys pretending to dig. Maybe they had a shovel. I saw some cars with fancy orange lights but they were off to the shoulder and I think they had a fog machine to appear like something was going on. This freeway has been "under construction" for like 10 years why do you need to close it every night? You're not even doing anything. And if you are, is it really necessary to cone of 4 lanes for four miles with nothing going on? It is excessive and it only makes more traffic at 2AM which actually is bad because people are sleepy and if people are on the road even longer while groggy there can be even more accidents. So just do the work during the day after 10AM. That makes more sense. I would rather have people alert and irritated and late for work then crashing because they are really tired for being out too late because they were stuck on the freeway for over an hour in the middle of the night.
Just something to think about.
my irritating quality for today: I whine a lot.
my redeeming quality for today: I like to smile.
