Freedom Isnt Free

freebike.jpgI had planned to get a new bike after work but I dont need to now. I was telling one of the guys about what happened Friday and he said he had an extra bike in his back yard that I could have. He wasnt sure if the tires held air because they are flat but he suspects thats just because the bike has sat for so long.

On his lunch break he drove home and picked up the bike. Its a Schwinn, similar to this one. I aired the tires up and greased the chain and everything seems to be working great. Unfortunately he didnt have a seat for it so one has to be bought.

105 I wanna break Danes bike - syyike and ride away - I wanna break Daanes Bike

I got hit by a car. On my way home from work, just 3 minutes away, a woman destroyed my bike with her White Chevy Malibu. I was crossing an intersection and had a green light. She was turning right onto the street I was on. I was coming motorcycle-crash-into-car-759819.jpgfrom her right and she was looking left, waiting for the traffic to clear. It did, so she turned, neglecting to look to her right again to make sure there wasnt anyone on their bike that she was about to hit. She hit me when I was directly in front of her. I landed on her hood and put a couple dents in it and my bike handle scratched it a little. My pedal went into her grill and the bumper crushed my front tire.

She got out of her car and asked if I was OK, which I was. We got out of the way of traffic to figure out what to do next. Part of me wanted to call the police, contact her insurance, and sue the crap out of her. Another part of me wanted to slash her front tires so she would have the same problem I have. Unfortunately none of this would help me get to work on Monday, I needed a new rim or bike. I told her I needed $50 to get a new rim. You may be thinking: Didnt you pay $55 for that bike? And you would be correct in your thinking. Regrettably, you are unable to purchase replacement parts for bikes of that quality. If I were to buy a new rim it would be a rim that would be bought to upgrade. Therefore, $50 is actually a low estimate. Well, she didnt have $50 and offered me $20. Tired and wanting to be done with this, I took the 20. She said she was sorry again and I looked her straight in the eyes with the level of disdain I usually reserve only for my mother and told her to watch where shes going next time.

This is a Call to All My Past Resignations

monkfish.jpgThere are two things I cant stand, ugly and stupid. People who are these things hurt my eyes and brain and they need to stop. Im not saying that everyone has to be a super model or a rocket scientist. You can be normal and be alright in my book. Its the people who I cant have converstaions with because I cant look them in the eye or because they are unable to use basic reasoning skills to figure things out. Those people need to be neutered and shipped away.

I understand that not everyone can be good looking or smart. Part of me feels guilty because Im both. Perhaps I got someones share of one or the other. Its especially hard because these seem to be inherent traits. Its not like you can lean to be good looking or smart. You are what god made you, and god made some people ugly and stupid. Perhaps as a punishment for those of us who are good looking and smart.

At any rate, I hate the girl at work. She is the very definition of ugly and stupid. Unfortunately she has a son so its to late to have her neutered but if she would just go away that would be good enough for me. Go away ugly. GO A WAY.

A Change Would Do You Good

polar-bear.jpgFall is here!! The weather man predicts not a single triple digit day for the rest of the week, just mid to high 90s! Its going to be a little weird getting into peoples fancy cars and not burning my hand on the handle for a while. Not to mention seeing outside temperatures that dont start with a 1 on their heads up display. The dogs are liking the weather too. Its nice for them to be able to walk (rather then run) across the black top without burning their little pawsies. Hopefully in a couple days itll be cool enough to use the pool again
