 highway overpass walkway – foto by Smith I’m a good guy, with an attitude. Like I stop and let cars into the traffic flow – except if they’re gas hogging SUVs, in which case I’ll purposely speed up or slow down to keep them out. Hate em even more because they’re big and bulky and shut off my line of sight so I can’t look in front of them to analyse the traffic flow to increase my own safety factor and efficiency. Before getting a car again three months ago, I didn’t realize how happy I was not having a car for three years. Driving is an extremely stressful, hostile environment. Expensive too. And most drivers are thoughtless, mean, or just plain stupid: they signal a left hand turn and move into the right hand lane instead; they stop their cars in the middle of the street to talk to people in other cars or on the sidewalk and then get angry because you beep; they park in handicapped zones when their only handicap is their fat asses, small brains, or lazy character; they suddenly move into your lane without signaling or leaving any room; they drive slow in the fast lane; and they’re all driving with cancer-causing cell fones plastered to their heads with brains not large enough to multi-task in the first place. Too bad it takes 20 years for cell fone tumors to grow. We need stronger cell fones to cause quicker cancers to kill off more of these walking talking driving brain deads. The problem with the earth is people. The problem with people is people. But then the wonderful thing about people is also people. So what you gonna do. You can’t kill em, and you can’t live with em. Some say you can’t live without them, but I’m more than willing to try. Oh, I was wrong – you can legally kill em if you’re a corporation selling death as cigarettes / alcohol / guns, or you’re a politician and you send em off to die in foreign lands so you can steal more oil. My apologies, I was thinking ethics and morality instead of Capitalism. Less is more: i.e., less people = more happiness for Mother Earth and me. And if I’m to be included in the less people category, so be it. That’s fine with me because I’ve already had a most wonderful life. Even though I don’t believe in God or churches, if there is a Saint Peter guarding those mythical golden gates when I die, I’m more than ready to be judged on what I’ve done. And if Heaven doesn’t want me, then frick em if they can’t take a joke.  end of our block – foto by Smith |
