| 12:48a - Stupid Ugly Vehicle Here is a poem I made up one day last Spring when I was bored in class. While the theme is on several yuppie trends and not just SUV's, I felt the need to post it here since the lack of entries has been driving me insane. (OK, maybe not really.)Baby v2.0I'm electronic and digital right through to my coreMy blood flows through veins of IEEE 1394I'm building a new soul based on CDMAMy internal GPS shows me the right wayI am the prototype for a 2003 babyI was born in the back seat of a sport utilityI'm hiring Versace to design my GUIThrough cryogenic freezing, I will never dieI'm trading in my SCSI for thoughts of USBA $20 license code will set my spirit freeI'm carbonized for OS X, will work soon with XPJust SMS'ed my girlfriend, asked her to marry meMy sight is based on Bluetooth so I can't see far aheadIn some ways I'm immortal, but in reality I'm dead (comment on this) |
4:37p - why S.U.V.s should be off the road Yes, we've been completely neglecting this community. Our bad.So here's my first post. It's not quite as artistic as the poem on yuppies but it'll do. =-)It's snowed here in CT at least once a week. The street that I work on is incredibly narrow -- it's amazing that two cars fit on it at all. The massive piles of snow crept onto the street, making it even more narrow.I was driving up the street the day after a snow storm when I started to skid on a patch of icy snow. I'm trying to gain control of my car when some asshole driving an SUV and talking on a cell phone speeds down at 50 miles per hour. He doesn't pay attention to me struggling and continues to plow down the road. I came THIS close to hitting him. Not only am I having a tough time controlling my car on this patch of ice, there's no room for me to at least drive away from him.First of all, no talking on the cell while driving.Second of all when the roads are still bad, don't speed.Third of all, don't hog the fucking road, especialy when the roads are bad.But the worst offense of all is that you would purchase an SUV that maybe gets 10 miles to the gallon and then you would continue to drive it when gas prices are $1.75 a gallon for regular unleaded. If you're going to be that wasteful, you deserve to be punished. current mood:  annoyed (7 comments |comment on this) |
