All Over The Place Thursday.

Man.  Some people can NOT take criticism!  So this dude (possibly chic.  i judge by the vehicle they drive if i can't see the face) is in front of me at a traffic light.  We get a green arrow.  Which, I'm hoping you all know means GET.THE.FUCK.GOING.CAUSE.PEOPLE.HAVE.TO.WORK.FOR.A.LIVING and "he" just sits there.  I usually give them around.... 3 seconds - max.  He's got No Intention of moving, my friends.  So, I guess what I Should Have done is give a polite tappety-tap-tap on my old friend, Mr. Horn.  But..  Yeah..  I kinda laid on it.  I have officially run out of patience with human driving.  My horn was probably on for 2 seconds.  So, he finally goes.. but.. not in the instant that I had expected after a horn blow like that.  Haha.  So, yes, I'M the asshole who blows by him in the passing lane and he ends up seeing me a quarter mile down the road, stopped at another light. Haha.  I drove by him, NOT looking over.. cause I know he/she/it/they wanted me to.  I don't care about them..  I just need to get to work to start the coffee.  So I'm now in a left turning lane, stopped, waiting for another lovely red light and ... DUDE passes me cause He had a green light and.. he BEEPS as he passes.   Um....    Really?

Here's him:  "There's that girl that beeped at me!  I'll show HER!!"      *eyeroll*

Yeah so, I saw him drive by and I heard the beep.  I got a good chuckle... and I'm sure it made him feel better.  He sure showed ME.

Part of the problem in this world is that people cannot admit any wrong doing.  I will take some blame for laying on the horn, when I should have just thrown out a quick tap - like I usually do in that sitch.  But, he certainly should not have been offended/angered by someone telling them to GO when the light is green!

Yeah yeah.. I know.  I need more patience.  A LOT more patience.  Know where I can buy some??

So there is this guy in my drum class.  The jury is still in their chamber trying to figure out if this guy is just really strange and quiet, or has murdered as least 9 people.  It's one of the two.  So, this chic was sitting next to him as we began our meditative warm-up.  Right after, she was all "I'm sorry, I don't mean any offense but I had to move away from you because of all your negative energy."

UM.....  Are there metal detectors in our building??  Are you not aware that these days you'll get your head (and everyone else's) blown off for saying stuff like that??   Man..  Don't be surprised if I'm not back to write another blog after next week's class.  Thanks Susan.  (NO idea what her name is)  

I come from a very humble beginning.  There was a time that I had a hard time scraping enough change for school lunch.  Yet...  I sit here..  realizing that I am becoming more and more of a snob every day.  Something I Hate about humans.  ..the snob factor.  Almost nothing worse than that.  enter: coffee.  Folgers is basically POOP.  I used to really dig 8 o'clock.. but NOW it's Starbucks.  Something I used to shake my head at.  (But.. I'm not THAT snobby yet.. I still end my sentences with a preposition!)  I used to say how ridiculous the Starbucks-consuming community was...  WAY over-paying for something I can easily get elsewhere for much cheaper.  Man was I wrong.  This shit is THAT GOOD.  It must be one of those companies that sold their soul to the devil.  Just like Procter & Gamble.  So now I have become a coffee snob.  It's not that I want to be this way.. it's just that...  my tongue has developed a preference to this magical bean juice.  [haha]  And when I have something else..  right away I'm turned off.  I just made the execs at Starbucks very, very happy. 

So last night was a pretty large eye-opener on how precious this life is.  A chic I graduated with died of Cancer at age 36.  I can't tell you what seeing her beyond frail body did to me.  It was not an easy truth to accept.  She is dead.  She was only 36 and a very nice, sweet and positive person.  Her husband told me not to be sorry, for he was happy that he had 8 years with her, and also delighted that she picked HIM to spend those 8 years.  His strength and peace was both amazing and inspirational.

Don't hesitate to tell the people that you hold dear to your heart that you LOVE THEM.  We truly can be taken away...  at any moment. 

Hey.... YOU....  I love you.
