Well, I don't want to scare any of you with the random outburst on the min site about having changed my world view so I will tell you what caused me to think such a thing. Ahem... ...So I'm going over to Katie's house and we were going to go to Old Navy cause I wanted to pick up some shorts. So I am driving down Palatine road and there is this guy in front of me driving this ugly ass pick-up truck,a nd he is pulling a trailer. By trailer of course I mean a crappily constructed hunk of plywood that resembles a box. I could see that he was driving like an idiot so I decided it would be best if I just dropped back and gave hime some space. Well, I apparently didn't give him enough space. His truck hit a piece of uneven pavemant because they are repaving the road right in that area, and one of the doors on the trailer broke off and landed in the road. Now, my first instinct of course would be to just drive around it, but there was kinda a lot of oncoming traffic at the time, So I ended up driving over it. The onfortunate thing is that when my right front tire went over it, it must have gotten caught on one of the hinge pieces that was sticking up, because it caused that tire to come to a complete stop, and through my car for one hell of slide in which I turned about 45 degrees toward the edge of the road. I turned the whell back toward the road and gunned it, which made my tire hop over the hinge. And it kicked the piece of plywood out from under my car, I then straightened the car and managed to pull off to the side of the road, the guy behind me came to a stop because there was now w torn up piece of plywood in the middle of the street. We got out of our cars and we hauled the piece of wood to the side of the road. I asked if he saw any liscence plate numbers, he said that there as no liscence plate on the trailer, so naturally he didn't. He asked if I was okay and I told him that my car was fine and that I'd be okay. Ya know the part that gets me, a) the jackass with the trailer didn't even pay attention. 2) if I had run into something, since the other guy didn't stop, my insurance would have had to pay for it, thus making my paments go up, just because that asshole doesn't know when his truck is falling apart. We had an MWF game yesterday. This was another one of those, hey, that was actually a good game and we were able to put up a good fight and have fun even though we last. They team we were playing actually had a good server, which is a big first. I also rented my tux today, I'll get a picture of it when I pick it up so ya'll can see it if you want, I don't really feel like describing it. I sent a letter to Jason today, there have been some conflicts between him and Joel lately concerning Katie. I feel that Jason doesn't really go about fixing them very well, and that someone should tell him. Every now and then I will send a self-betterment letter to people with the sole hope of them benefitting from it, but in the past people read it and think that I am attacking them, even though at the begining of the letter I specifically say, 'Don't take this as a personal attack' oh well, I am not going to get discouraged, so brace yourself for constructive critizism every once in a while.
