I hate that. When someone walks up to you and says “Can I ask you a question?” Think about that for a min…
“Can I ask you a question?”
If you reply, you are responding to a question that is being asked. So apparently you can.
I would prefer to reply with “No and you will be fined for this infraction.”
Or if I am in a good mood I may begin to yell:
“Violation Announcement! All questions without a permit are prohibited, including questions about asking questions, and you are subject be fined for your insolence. Further violation will result in a larger fine and may involve physical violence to your body. Please proceed to the county clerk for permit forms, wait for and retain written permission statements prior to future inquiries. A citation will be sent to your address once a court date is established.”
Many of us have pets. Many of us love our pets. Many of us will go out of our way to make our pets happy. I am no different…
Today was my day off in my 6-day work week. It is just about noon and I want to kill my pets.
I won’t actually kill them. But I will imagine how nice and soft they would feel as slippers. Slippers I would wear while sipping on a cup of coffee while standing in the morning sun on my deck… Standing there smiling, looking into the trees as they slowly sway back and forth in the cool breeze.
As I said, it is my one day off. I have been working long hours. I wanted to sleep in today. But I was woken early by meowing cat #1 and then twice more by meowing cat #2 (who is a foster cat that is staying in the room right next to the bedroom. We would let him roam the house but he tries to start fights with my cat.) So I finally decide to get up and I can hear the dog whining at the bedroom door.
I open the door and the dog starts her excited wiggle. This wiggle is sometimes cute. She dances and wags her tail so hard that her whole hind end is going back and forth. Which causes her head to act as a counter balance. Today it wasn’t cute, it just irritated me. I was tired and wanted to be in my warm bed. I didn’t want to deal with the dog right now.
It gets better… I told her to back up so I could exit only to find that cat #1 had thrown up a hairball in front of my door… which the dog was dancing in and was now tracking back through the hallway.
Cat #2 starts meowing like an alarm system because his food dish is empty… But he has been staying in this room for the past month, you would think he would have figured out that I will be in to feed him in a little bit and freaking out isn’t going to make me go any faster.
I grabbed the dog and directed it to the backyard, where there is fresh snow. She can clean her feet off there and take care of business at the same time. I turn around to find cat #1 staring at me… Moments later he lets out a big meow, like he was pissed at me for sleeping in. Cat alarm #2 is still going off in the room next to mine.
I walk past cat #1 and head into cat #2′s room, who greets me as if he had been alone and starving to death for days. I give him some food which he starts eating before it even lands in his dish and I grab his water dish. As I go to fill the dish Cat #1 went into my bedroom and is now yelling at me from my warm bed. While filling the dish, I grab a towel and head back down to Cat #2′s room and drop off the water dish. Half of his food is already gone. I leave and shut the door.
Cat #1 is still meowing at me. I clean up the floor and head up stairs to feed him. Once that is done, it is quiet again. I head down stairs and plop down into my computer chair…. The dog starts jumping on the back door. So I get up and let her in and go to dry off her feet. She quickly dodges around me and bolts for the couch. “Whatever.” It’s only water… I hope.
I am really tired of getting cut off on the highway. I am a nice guy a swear, use your turn signal and I will make sure you have plenty of room to move over. You don’t have to be a dick to get in front of me.
Everyday there seems to be one person who, without warning, dives over from the other lane like the world will end if they don’t get over.
I had a Mercedes cut me off today… Thinking to myself as I have many times before. You would think, with how much he payed for the damn thing it would come with a turn signal. Not only that, you think he would be more careful with it… of course because he has a Mercedes he may be one of those people that feels that he is entitled to do whatever.
Mercedes Guy: “Oh man! I make too much money and I drive an expensive car and drive it like i don’t give a shit. Get out of may way, that’s my exit that I didn’t move over for when I should have because I wanted to get around you because I am more important than you and you should be behind me because you going over the speed limit by 5 miles an hour isn’t fast enough…. Ha. Ha. My inability to care about anyone around me but myself and my utter lack of using my overpriced turn signal made you slam on your breaks because I am a douche. Later people I have already forgotten about, I hope your need to slam on the breaks slowed traffic for at least mile.”
Then again, maybe this guy just doesn’t know how to use a turn signal. Maybe he is like a scared little rabbit running alone amongst wolves… maybe he just needs some guidance.

HEY! MR. MERCEDES GUY!!!
BELOW YOU WILL FIND INSTRUCTIONS.
Provided by the under appreciated contributors on WikiHow.com:
Part of safe driving is letting the other drivers around you predict what you will do. Using your turn signals is not difficult, and it’s generally required by law whenever you make a turn or change lanes. Providing a signal to turn to other drivers, both in front of you and behind you, is to communicate to them, your intentions to change lane or directions. Communications is a effective tool to help prevent most accidents from happening.
Steps
Locate the lever on the left side of the steering column. (This lever will be on the right in any car designed for driving on the left side of the road.)
To signal a left turn, push the lever down (or up if the lever is to the right of your steering column).
To signal a right turn, push the lever up (or down if the lever is to the right of your steering column).
Once you have moved the lever up or down, an arrow light will begin blinking on the dashboard.
The signal will automatically turn off after you have made the turn, in most cases, but you must turn the wheel past a certain point. If it doesn’t automatically turn off, move the lever back to its central, neutral position.
Tips
The best way to remember which way to move the turn signal in the same direction that you are turning your steering wheel. If you leave your hand on the steering wheel and turn left, you will ultimately push downward on the turn signal, thereby signaling left.
Use your turning signal approximately 100 feet ahead of the turn you want to make.
You should also use your turn signals when you are changing lanes, to alert other drivers appropriately. and keep them in use until you ahve completley made the lane changes. When entering a traffic lane from a parking area, such as being paralleled parked in a parking area.
Many turn signals levers have two positions. You can either push the lever far enough that it clicks, and it will stay on, or you can hold the lever just short of the click position and it will spring back. The springing back position is useful for changing lanes, since you may not turn the steering wheel far enough for the turn signal to turn off automatically.
Remember that it’s as easy as flipping a lever to be courteous to other drivers, so use a signal every time!
Remember: your turn signal is to warn drivers that you don’t see (i.e. blind spot) what you are going to do.
Warnings
Some cars don’t have levers on the left side. If when you push the lever on the left side, your windscreen wipers come on, then try the right lever.
When signaling, make sure at least one hand is on the wheel at all times. Also look where you are going and do not turn unless it is safe to do so.
Be careful if you want to turn where there are two turnings near each other on the same side of the road. Start signaling when you are at approximately the midpoint of the turning before if you are turning into the farthest one.

Have you seen the music video of newly discovered Rebecca Black destroying a horribly written pop song?
A friend at work showed me the youtube video.
Here it is if you haven’t seen it. It is full of culture and deep meaningful lyrics. I suggest watching it through till the end.
You: “WTF!?”
Me: Right?
I have decided to be nice…

Dear Rebecca Black,
If you happen to come to this site. I don’t want to hate on you really. I personally do not think it’s your fault. I choose to blame the people trying to make money off of you and possibly your parents for giving you too much self confidence. You are a poor singer. That doesn’t mean I think you couldn’t be a good one, you just need vocal lessons from a talented instructor. And not just for a weekend, you are going to have to set up a regular schedule for at least the next year. Don’t feel bad, most of the worlds best singers have sought or are getting advise from vocal coaches.
Because honestly, this video is a piece of shit. A pile of over priced, money wasting, shit. Some one is seriously taking advantage of you. The song is unimaginative and poorly written. The music video looks like it was put on by a promo agent that is about to lose his house. There is little to no real singing and what is considered singing is Auto-Tuned. Making your nasally toned sound even more like a robot than it would normally. I saw your unplugged video to see how your natural voice would be… worst career move you could have made, and you don’t even have a career yet.
Rebecca, please finish school, go out and get real vocal instruction and try again in a few years. At least by then most people would have forgotten this whole thing… well maybe… you might want to change your name.

For the rest of you:
I honestly thought this video was a joke. As well as promoters trying to say she is the next Justin Bieber. I only wished Justin Bieber was as naturally untalented. He would have disappeared by now. I honestly wish he would disappear and stop taking up my internet. And I would really like to find that asshole that tried to make this Rebecca girl famous… And make that person listen to the song for 2 months straight or until that person has a mental break down…. But then again, I don’t think even I could be that cruel.
What is your thoughts on the video?
