This joke is old. Everyone has heard it. It is not original. It will not make you sound clever unless you are talking to a six-year-old.

It needs to stop.

Have you ever turned left at an intersection? If so, you probably noticed that most of the time, opposing traffic turns left at the same time (their left not your left). This sort of traffic behavior is normal and therefore you feel secure in the fact that the 18 wheeler heading straight for you will turn and not hit you. My question is this: Who came up with this concept?

I know this is an old story (09/21/05), but it came up in conversation at dinner last night, so I thought I would post something.

I don’t do this often, but I’m raising my glass to Southwest Airlines. They offer cheap flights, good customer service and in my case last weekend, a free beer.

I made a new wallpaper out of an old Grolsch beer label. And here it is:

The poof. This is the term that I have heard to describe the semi-popular womens hair style seen below on Gwen Stefani.

This hair style sucks. I don’t understand why women make themselves look like this. It is rather unattractive. I have never seen this hair style on a girl and thought, “Wow, she looks amazing!” It’s usually more along the lines of, “Wow, that looks horrible!” Don’t get me wrong, I have seen one or two people where it doesn’t look bad. It still doesn’t look GREAT though.

I’m not too sure why I’m blogging about a womens hair style, but I figured I’d get it out there. If I make a difference in just one girl’s life by making her realize that she looks dumb with the poof, I will be happy.

It has been raining. A lot. I don’t mind the rain for the most part. I actually enjoy it most of the time. It’s just so cold. Driving in the rain has been interesting. Some people continue to drive 15 MPH over the speed limit as if it isn’t even raining. On the other hand, some people are driving 15 MPH under the speed limit. I don’t want to talk about the speed of the cars though. This post is about the speed of windshield wipers.

So I was sitting in a chair staring at my shoe. My right leg was crossed such that my right ankle was resting on my left knee with my right leg bent in a ninety degree angle at the knee. Is there an official name for this sitting position? I am unaware.

Getting to the point, when I was staring at my shoes I was thinking about the fact that I was wearing Vans. In particular, the type of Vans with no shoelaces that slip on, form around your feet and are very flat looking. There must be an official name for these…

Blake and I went to a gun shop yesterday. It was my first time in an actual gun shop. It was very interesting. There were many guns of all shapes and sizes as well as a plethora of accesoires to go with the guns. It was my first time in a gun shop, but nothing really caught me off guard. Everything that I saw in the shop was pretty typical, right up until my eyes landed on some shady characters…

I HATE flying. Not because I’m afraid of planes or even being in a plane crash for that matter. No, I hate flying because of the people…all of them…likely including you. I have a little bit of a rant and a couple of short stories to explain my utter frustration.
