Dear Savage Animal Behind The Wheel

Dear brainless droid behind the wheel,
I'd like to give you a run down of several things you should take into consideration the next time you hit the road. I know you think Road Rules is just an old fascinating MTV show, but its more than just that. It's actually a code of funny little standards that save people lives and livers on the road. I understand you received your license from the last Lucky Charm cereal box. So I'm going to pay a deed to society and teach you the basics. Hey, I may also help you save 15% or more on your car insurance. Let's churn them out, shall we?
  • BLINKERS- That miniature baseball bat looking thing under your nose serves a purpose. A quite dignified one, I'd like to think. They're called blinkers. And that little stick makes the prettiest red lights blink on your backlights- either left or right, depending which way you have to turn. That way, myself, and all the other 987696 cars on the road know why on God's green earth you'll be swerving in front of us and making our foot very well acquainted with the brake. It may sound like Chinese to you, or even Intelligent English, but I promise you gratitude will swell in our hearts when you acknowledge the usefulness of the blinkers- as our necks will no longer whiplash.
  • BRAKES- There's no reason to tap your brakes everytime you breathe or for every altering moment on the road. The light is as green as your teeth so keep a reasonable speed ahead, please! There's no reason to fear that other cars are stopped next to you. They happen to be on the turning lane. You happen to be on the "drive forward for Heaven's sake!" lane.  So step on it, Bucky.
  • MERGE LANE- Say it with me, MERGE lane. That means you can slide unto that wide margin coming off or into the road. Please don't feel the need to wait until the road is as desolate as your mind to join the crowded lane. Just drive buddy, and you will see how smooth the transition can be.
  • Txting While Driving- Epic Fail and Epic Danger. Slowing down traffic, driving dangerously close to the wrong sides, and braking right on my bumper. Put the phone down. Whomever it is will live to see another day if you don't respond "Ok!" or "Idk. hby?" in a matter of minutes. A single texted response may be worth more than your life, but certainly not more than mine, so be considerate of the rest of us, whom would like to see another day. And preferably another day without you.
If you follow my directions, you'll make the road a better place to share with all lower forms of life. And no, I don't mean roadkill
Peace. Glad we had this convo..

Ninfamous' Gotta Have-Em Apps for Droid

So you have a Droid. I already like you. You don't feed the man and you don't settle for the path of least resistance. Put that in your pipe and shmoke it, Apple.  So, to reward your awesome decision, here I am posting the top 10 free apps you will enjoy having, bragging about, and using til your battery dies. Drumroll, please! 10) GeoQpons. Nifty coupon app, simple and easy to browse. By far the cleanest one I've seen, because the others get too confusing or are very limited. I like the local setting and being able to search too. 9) Zedge Ringtones & Wallpapers. Personally I liked the "mom is calling" ringtone, because it was hi-la-rious and so fitting. Free fun and funny stuff, like the transformers ringtone, makes it number 9 on my list.  8) RD3 Demo. So addicting! At your fingertips lies the vast ability to create hundreds of fun little beats and play them back to your hearts content. If you want to record them however, and avoid the time outs it spora

Single vs Coupled

-
Was I sleeping when dating paralleled happiness? Or became the pursuit of an enriched life? I have nothing against true love, for in many cases its like a cancerous tumor. You can't see it growing inside you til you're in the final stages of metastasis. But what I am against, is people making the rest of us single people seem like were deficient, defective, or socially challenged because we're not coupled. I got news for you. This isn't the 19th century, and I'm not Jane Austen. Just because some of us decide we don't want to get tangled up in the messes of love doesn't mean we aren't capable of bliss. Granted, doing your significant other's laundry, slaving in the kitchen and falling asleep to the lulling acoustics of his snoring and farting may be your idea of heaven, but spare me your ideals. It's bad enough growing up and being responsible for your own self to then rush in to more responsibility and babysitting an adult. I have enough sel

This Fool is Out of Order

Well, less than 24 hours from now, I'm going to be in a world of excruciating pain.  No, it's not a Miley Cyrus concert. It's my wisdom teeth removal. All four. All impacted. (Where will all my classic wit go?) Thank heaven for painkillers and anesthesia.  Hopefully I'll be back to blogging on Monday as usual. And it will probably be a whole lotta complaining and griping about my soon-to-be-chipmunk face.  :)
