Reflections

Some strange happenings lately.

An ex-girlfriend was discovered to have a baby.  Good for her, better for me, because it's mathematically impossible by about 3-4 months to have been mine!  Bullet.  Dodged.

Just got back from Chicago with Carolina.  Had a really good time!  We got along really well, I thought, and explored a bunch of the city a typical tourist most likely does not.  I think I could travel with her for longer times and distances in the future.  I hope she feels the same.  Of course, I don't just "hope" things, I plan to talk about the trip from her perspective next time we see each other. 

Uncle John, as of this writing is still alive.  Well, "alive" as defined by biological standards.  In reality, he's been dead awhile, as I know he would never consider the state he's in "living."  My only hope is that he makes it long enough in a lucid enough state to know that people have been around him, talking to him.  Especially his kids.  Margo's mental/spiritual state worries me a bit.  Funny, the "godly" people in our midst are struggling the most, while the so called "heathens" like me and dad take it in full stride and have fully grasped reality already.  At any rate, he'll be greatly missed.  My plan is to tell funny and other amusing stories about my experiences with him.  As I said to mom last night, I'd rather people laugh about me when I die rather than cry over me.  I intend to celebrate his life, not mourn his death.

Andy stated he went to church recently.  I better keep my non-belief to myself when around Rachel and him.  I suppose she talked him into it, but he's a sheep and she's the shepherd so I expect him to go along with it 100%.  Good for him though, he's got a good thing going.  Hopefully, he won't fuck it up.

In other news, I hate the way people drive around here.  It amazes me how little attention people pay to their surroundings.  Today, I was at least 50 feet short of the intersection while running with Tuck.  The person opposite me in direction approached the stop sign very very slow, as if waiting for me to get there first?  Anyway, they still beat me by at least 5 seconds and had not moved yet!  When I signaled for them to make the left turn, I got a dirty look!  Really?  They were there first, they should have gone first!  Amazing how dumb some people are.  Then, on the way to work, I had a nice distance between the car in front of me and my front bumper.  No stop and go conditions, traffic and most lanes were wide open.  But, some a-hole cut in front of me anyway, no turn signal used.  So annoying.  I don't get why people are like that, pisses me off.  Then you've got the cell phone idiot leaving turn signals on miles after making any kind of turn or lane change.  It's a miracle more of us don't die on the road.  I swear, it must easily be the most hazardous part of my day!

That's all for now.  Have a good one, y'all!

On a side note, I'm a great speller!  I ran the check before I typed this line, only one word was flagged.  Go me!
