He as hollow as I alone…

June 30th 2006 in Journal, Soapbox

People? Yeah, they suck. The vast majority are ignorant, self-centered, and petty jack-asses.

On my commute this morning I was passing through a one horse town called Sandy Ridge, NC, just like I do every week day. Today, though, just on the outside of the town, I come across a large black snake worming its way across the two lane country road. There was a car coming the other way so I checked behind me to be sure no cars were barreling down on me and stopped, since I couldn’t swerve, rather than run it over. As I was waiting for the other car to pass by, a truck pulled up behind me and came to a stop. I got a sinking feeling, but I put my faith in humanity and when the car in the oncoming lane went by I swerved into that lane to go around the snake. The guy in the truck started to follow me, because he initially couldn’t see what I was trying to avoid hitting. When he saw it was a snake, though, the son-of-a-bitch intentionally swerved back to run it over.

What possesses people? Why? I got so angry I shook my fists into the rearview mirror and my throat got tight. I almost pulled over, but he was peeling off to go down another road, no doubt laughing at the idiot who wouldn’t run over a snake.

Guess what, you self righteous prick. When judgment day comes, who do you think is going to be the one deemed evil; the reptile that crawls on its belly, or the one driving the truck who took pleasure in killing an innocent and defenseless animal?

You fucking asshole.

That doesn’t even begin to describe this idiot. I’m still fuming. I mean, why? it’s not like it was a black mamba or anything. Just a harmless and in fact beneficial constrictor; belly full of disease carrying mice, no doubt. And even if it were a mamba, it’s not going to get you in your car!

Gah! Grrr. Snort. Sorry…

On the other hand it was a snake.

I like snakes. They’re warm and scaly.

I’ve heard some say that if you want to be an urban terrorist, just make your bombs look like snakes and people will swerve to hit them.

I almost ran a snake over once by the house. But being Little Miss Phobia that I am, I screamed, took my hands off the steering wheel and Mr. Pog had to take the wheel to keep us from going into a ditch.

It was very comic.

The snake lived. It probably tried to crawl into the house later that night while I slept but was scared off when it saw the car parked outside.


Passion killer, you’re too much…

Another little burst of photographs recently taken and edited. Clicking the picture will take you to the photostream. This new batch were all taken with my new camera. I’m pretty happy with the camera so far, though I think 4.0 megabits is a bit much and will probably be cutting back [...]

All that glitters is gold…

This has to be one of the cutest commercials I’ve seen in a long time. I’m pretty sure Orange is a major cellphone carrier in the European Union which would explain why there are no cellphones in the comercial. Those crazy Europeans are just like that. Heh. Thanks, Cory!
