My Cynical Side Wreaking Havok Today


My a-hole level I would guess to be about 9.2. I have good reasons.

Started last night. My wife hands me a letter from our insurance. Seems we have to prove our citizenship now. F*** what? Not just SS#, they want our drivers license, birth certificate, past years addresses, etc.

This deals with illegals, I'm sure, so I look online later in the night, getting my anger up, and I find out conservatively, there are 15 to 20 MILIION illegals here. If you got rid of 25% of them, we would have NO UNEMPLOYMENT in this country.

This morning, beautiful, 70 degrees at 7 o'clock, been in traffic for 2 hours, I finally get off my exit. Go through a rotary, ends up in a 3 lane wide section. 2 left lanes, left only. Right lane, bear right. Clogged at the traffic light as normal, I'm in the middle lane. Guy comes from my right and finds 5 feet to stick the nose of his truck in front of mine, ass end in the way of everyone behind him so no one can get around. He's talking on the phone, smoking a cig, and then it happens.

He throws the butt out the window. Two women in a car to the left of me, I hear "what an a-hole". By the time she got to "hole" I was outa my truck with an attitude. "Jane, Jane, what's this guy doing?" I grab the butt off the ground, come up to to his truck and put out the butt on his dash and I'm yelling...as loud as I possibly can "think you can use your ashtray asswipe?" LOL

The women start hootin' and honking. He gets out as I'm walking back swearing at me and the women, LOL, the women tell the guy to "get back in your truck pussy!" I coulda taken him!

And this is where it gets trivial and asinine. Brazilians. They got to be illegal, but I haven't said anything. They're menial labor on the job I'm on so fine with me..for now.

This one guy seems to have a habit of liking my broom. It a fine bristle one. Sweeps up nice. You guys know, a nice broom is gold. They're using it for cleaning up the big rocks, banana peels, dust, piss, everything crappy.

Hadn't said anything til today. He's not borrowing it anymore. He has never asked and never brought it back. I always had to go get it. My veins were popping telling him how the problem is not the fricken broom but being inconsiderate in not asking and not bringing it back. I don't know how many hateful words I called him, but today, he deserved it.

You might want to be selective about how much s**t you talk to a brazilian dude....good chance you'll be waking up 10 minutes later having pissed your pants anfter being choked out. I'm not brazilian either....I'm just giving you a heads up...Ju Jitsu in brazil is like soccer, everyone just does it. In case you dont know, Its a martial art that specializes in choking and breaking bones.....have fun.

Vent away. Better here than on the road.

Being considerate to others comes with a price. But try not to focus on the one or two a**holes who live to take shortcuts, (like the guy in the truck, or the guy who always thinks he can borrow your broom). Their insides, (or everyone around them) will eat them up eventually.

There is a biker bar across the street from me that hosted a "ride" through the Brazilian infested neihborhoods, holding the flag up high as they motored on through.
We could allways unite together and refuse to hire them. Becarefull of that temper, you seem like a decent guy.

I would lend you my copy of "Anger Management" (movie), but I lent it to someone last year and they never returned it. I'll kick his ass when I see him since he also owes me $600.

Hey, how about "Falling Down". Now there is a lack of anger management!

I wish I could vent somewhere besides the freeway, you guys drive calls out here in the Orange County/La area and see how frustrated you get...Damn, I wish May Day was everyday, everytime the Latins protest, for some odd reason there is no freaking traffic...things that make you go hmmmm.

Yup, my husband likes to say, "it is what it is".

That about sums up most of anything that sucks.
