So, this is my official first post of my official blog. I did/do have a LiveJournal thing, but I don't think many people use that anymore like they used too. Heck, even I forgot about it.
Anyways, I plan to blog about some of the things that piss me off in any given day, things that I just can't get enough of (like videos, music, food, whatever), and things that I ponder about. I'm going to try to stick to these categories since I don't really want a blog about my entire life doings (really, who cares about me mowing the lawn or something really mundane). Besides, that's what Facebook is for, and only my friends and family care about such things (and even then, I bet they don't care that I just walked out to my mailbox to get my new Netflix movie).
Now, what shall I write about tonight? (maybe a taste of what's in store for this blog)
One thing that has been bugging me since last week was a driver that insisted on driving way below the posted speed limit. Everyone has some road rage in them, right? As a NJ driver, my rage may be above the average American, but I don't believe wanting to do the speed limit is asking too much. To set up the scene, I pulled on to a main road, and eventually caught up to this slow moving vehicle. Knowing the road well, I knew we were going way below the 45mph limit. I glanced and did a double take at my speedometer. WE WERE ONLY GOING 35!!! seriously? SERIOUSLY!?
"Ok, ok, calm down. Maybe they're not from around here and don't know the speed limit", I thought to myself. So I backed off and waited to see if we'd pass a sign. Maybe then they'd step on it. We approached a speed limit sign, and not only did the driver look at the sign, but pointed at it. Clearly, they saw it, right? Think they would accelerate just a little bit? Nah... they continued for another 3 miles at this speed before turning out of my path to work. (I would have passed them but either the road lines wouldn't allow me or it was just unsafe to pass)
I just couldn't believe that someone could POINT at a speed sign, and proceed, on a major road, at 10 miles below the limit. It's almost to the point of being unsafe. Now, either they didn't care that they were holding up an entire line of 6 cars, or their speedometer was broken and they don't know it's busted. No matter the reason, I still wanted to push them out of the way.
Just because it was a Sunday, and people go out for a Sunday drive, doesn't mean everyone is out for a casual and leisurely drive. Some people still have to work on the Lord's Day. I have places to go and things to do.
