Blah Entry #1

I really have no specific topic right now as I'm on the bus on my way home from NYC. I have to say that while I missed my hometown, there's some things I can happily do without and I'm glad I left to move to the south. So let's do something fun and go over them, shall we? We shall!

1. Garbage everywhere - now in Columbia there are a couple places that smell like who did it and where are they so I can slap them, but they're not on almost every street corner. I was stepping over something, walking around something, dodging something or speed walking past something.

2. Cattle herding - one thing I've always hated about NYC is the almost endless seas of people walking that must push past you or slide past you or try not to bump into you but do it anyway when walking ANYWHERE! Damn! I need to be in a personal bubble so no one grazes me. And to hell with an "excuse me" being said. At the rate in which it would need to be uttered, you'd lose your fucking voice quick fast and in a hurry which is what almost every New Yorker is.

3. Crossing the street - it should be nominated as a sport in the upcoming olympic games. You have to get past cars speeding and slowing down at the same time. Buses that don't give a damn as to how close they are to your eyelashes when they turn and the other thousand people crossing when you do. Boggles the mind as to why there isn't some type of reward given once you make it to the other side.

4. Taxicabs - let me say this: FUCK 'EM! They're not cabs, they're demolition derby and stunt drivers in training. Who plays chicken with the stoplights?? Yellow cabs do! When you decide to be a cabbie its at the point in your existence when your urge to say "fuck it & pay me" is just too much to bear.

5. Alternate side parking - this is simple....I love my driveway and garage. It takes away the worry of "oh shit! Its 3am on a Thursday and I haven't moved my car to the other side of the street where there's no parking yet!" Leaving no possibility of receiving a hefty ticket or tow.

Well that's all I have for now but give me a little time and I'll have more to rant with. :-)
