is it me?? or do you hate turning on the boob tube (haaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa I said boob!!) and seeing all the mud slinging campaign ad? It's like WELL who the hell do I vote for if EVERYONE has something bad to say about someone else?? We all know that the person we thought would do what we wanted may have voted a different way. But as an average chick who does not make it her priority to know every little thing my elected officials are doing what Am I to do??
Senator Barb
I will say this Barbara Mikulski!! I love her ads; waddle and all!! (that would be all her neck fat... made famous (or more noticeable) by the dude from Ally McBeal) She is like the grandmother you never wanted... but you still can't help but love her!! It's almost like Barb said Martin O'Malley is ok SO.. that's who I'ma vote for! I am trolling youtube for the ad with the yutz in the background. Sober OR a lil tipsy it is HILARIOUS!! She is BALWMOR at it's finest! I can't find it. : / Well... let me describe it.. she is walking thru a school and random (yet very diverse) kids are in the background. At the end she says something like 'will we work for you' and the kids pump one first in the air and say "YEAH". I FOUND IT!!! it is on her home page. You might gotta watch it a few times to see what I mean about the fist pump. Maybe it's just funnier on a TV screen.
Question A
I don't live in Anne Arundel county so I don't think I can vote for the whole slots thing, but I would SOOO vote for Question A!!! DO a little shopping, play a few slots!! Sounds win-win to me!! Plus it will add jobs to MD and people will be less inclined to go to West Virginia (maybe... maybe not) to spend their mullah.
Kratovil and Harris
I know Kratovil is A Democrat and Harris is a Republican( or maybe the other way around) but they have done a GREAT job of not making me want to vote for either. Both of them portray the other as lying, conniving, backstabber. But again I'm not even sure I can vote for either one. And to be honest I might just leave it blank on election day (or the week prior since we can now vote early; but for some reason I don't feel like my vote really REALLY counts unless it is on election day)
I am a good citizen. My mother was a social studies teacher who still get excited about 'map skills'. My people (both Black people AND women people) have fought so that I could have a voice. but I'm just not sure I want one! It's almost like hey we got Obama in the White house WHAT ELSE do we need to do!?!? I know it's very passive and I will cast my vote but can you people PLEASE just stop slinging all the freaking mud?!?!?

10.20.10... just an ordinary day
there are at least 5 squirrels scampering around my backyard. Is it mating season? At least someone is getting some! LOL OR Are they storing up nuts for the winter? Here they are leaving off what God gave them... and they are nice and plump! Not missing no meals and they look happy and healthy.
OK so my general thoughts and ranting are of such little consequence these days I even wonder why I bother. I mean yeah I know there is a greater good (oh damn I just stole a tagline from TIAA CREF those sons of bitches that wont hire me back... yeah ok I didn't give 2 weeks but the chick who was in charge was MAJOR beeeyotch... BTW did you know Martha Stewart came up with that?!? I overheard someone say that recently and I just LOVE how white folks actually think another white person came up with something that is clearly from black culture and/or hip hop; i actually almost said something to the woman but i really didn't feel like going there that day...where was I OH yeah end parenthasis).
Atlanta Housewives
I ALWAYS have something to say about them. The sheer hilarity in each show. SO this week Dwight... I really want to know what he really does. Supposedly he has a salon, but I have NEVER seen him do no ones hair. He and his "PR" guy go to Sheree's house to clear up some things. Allegedly he spent $30k for her show last season. NOW I KNOW for a fact that when you put on a show/party/family reunion/whatever there are extra expenses that may not have been budgeted, but I also know that you keep receipts because it can either be returned or you might need to get reimbursed. Not one time has anyone asked for NOR produced any receipts. I mean I don't have an extra 30 bucks let alone 30 thousand so really Dwight?!? Are you really gonna stick to that story?
Phaedra and Apollo... is it me or do they act like they just met and are dating?!? I know they are married and expecting a baby but they seem SOOOO detached from each other. And what does HE do?? We all know she is this high falutent lawyer cause she says it EVERY chance she gets, but he just seems to do not much if anything.
Kim... you are singing your ONE song at a gay event. WHY was she flirting?!?! they don't want you!! If anything they prolly think you are another drag queen. And Bravo y'all aint slick I saw 2 of the chicks from Rupaul's Drag Queen show AND Kim Vo from the Sheer Genius show. I know this because Reality show are my guilty pleasure!!
My cat
If I could read her mind I really think she is saying 'Bitch can you please leave this house already?' In fact I think most of her sentences begin with BITCH. Like 'Bitch not there... aahhh... there RIGHT there NOW you stroking me right!!' or 'Bitch can you please clean this damn litter box!! It's been 2 weeks already!!' or when I turn on the light 'BITCH don't you see me sleeping!!??' or 'NO MORE pictures Bitch NO MORE!!' LMBAO I don't know why that's what she looks like she is saying. I'm so glad I got her though. I mean granted it was for the critters but now I don't know what I would do with out her.
Men
LOUD SIGH... My sister and I had a little misunderstanding about men and not to go into detail because she is one of my loyal 5 readers (LOL). I just thought she putting up with crap she shouldn't have to. I am all for people getting what they want and need out of life, but you know looking from the outside that's not what I thought was going on. I will say I am sooooooooooo done with all the bull shit and I am ready to be wooed!! I am tired of not being the special one or just being the chick on the side no real time invested. When I think back to everyone I have dealt with since I was 15 (15 cause that was when I had my 1st 'real' boyfriend) i just have accepted some... well BULL SHIT!! The guy then, who is now happily (i guess it's happy...) married with kids, he lived on the other side of town AND went to another high school. This is before cell phones and face book. He never called and probably had another girl at his school. Even though at 15 my mom found her 'soulmate' (that would be my father) I truly did not. Fast forward to college where I really didn't date that much and GOD forbid I get pregnant, so I was pretty guarded with myself. But then I grew up a little or at least I thought.
My 20's I had FUN!! LOTS OF FUN!! Maybe too much fun!?!? I don't know... I know it all boils down to my expectations and what I actually got. I can remember saying that I wanted a relationship and the dude was like 'nah I just wanna chill' SO chill is what we did. I still can't believe I just accepted that nonsense. And then one time (at band camp LOL) a guy told me he hit a deer and that was why he didn't call for like a month... CRAZY yeah I know. One guy who was only a few years older than me told me I was too young to understand what a real relationship is/was.
And very recently one of my girlfriends was tryna do the hook up... and thanks cause a chick NEEDS a hook-up every now and then and she asked if I gave him my number was I interested yadda yadda yadda. All I could say was NO cause he didn't ask and I'm not one to be thrusting my number on someone (been there done that) who aint gonna call anyways. I was not wooed!! I don't have any fantasies about prince charming riding up on a white horse or any other colored horse for that matter(ok yeah I used to but now.. not so much). I just want regular stuff... you know like how Theo broke it down to his dad on the Cosby show. I AM REGULAR PEOPLE!! I got a house, a car and no kids. I would like for my man to have a house(not living in his mama's basement), a car and no kids... oh and not be allergic to my cat. My credit used to be good, it's not great now... but I can pull myself out of this situation so his credit doesn't have to be A+, he just has to be willing to work on it. I graduated from college. He doesn't have to be a rocket scientist, but I was seeing this one guy and he didn't have a good excuse for not even getting his GED. I will work with a brotha, but COME ON!! Have some ambition about bettering yourself. Did this just turn into a match.com or eHarmony ad?!?! LOL

hot housewife madness...
so last night was the premiere for the 3rd season and I really have to question why I sat there and tried to catch up with season 2 AND stay tuned for season 3... it's just a MESS!!
so here's a quick recap/breakdown. I was really trying to think of any of these women that I would actually like to be friends with and really NONE of them except maybe Kandi and I have a small degree of separation (you know the whole 6 degree of separation thing!?!?) to her but that's a story for another day. I will say she held her own when Ne Ne had the gall to say to her the she owed her an apology. Whew that woman is a mess and a 1/2. She is just sooooo confrontational and then think NOTHING of it once she has been all up in someones face. I guess she does now know who her father is cause that man looked just like her son... or rather the other way around. It's just kinda sad, I mean I know who my mother and father are. I guess they explained why Lisa is no longer on the show cause she 'moved away'. But she did move but to another part of Atlanta I thought. I hope she is able to get pregnant though.
Onto Kim... LAWD i don't even know what to say about her. It must be nice to change wigs EVERYDAY. I mean COME ON who does that?!?! Even the fabulous stylist in his heels... WHEW he looked a mess... was like REALLY BITCH COME ON!!! And then her daughter who was like talking and eating so food was all falling out her mouth and Kim was like 'don't kiss any boy' and I was like NO little boy is gonna want to kiss her with all that gunk coming out her mouf!! YEAH I SAID IT M O U F!!!! And then her whole lesbian thing. Yeah I have no words for that but media whore does come to mind.
Kandi who I might actually like as a person for real. I was sad to hear about her fiance being killed, but she is onto some new dude who has VERY NICE TEETH!! Well I mean she has nice teeth so I guess she can't be paired up with no yuck mouth. He's a Raven... Really Bruh... there aint no one in ALLLLL if the Baltimore metropolitan area that you want to date so you gotta go to Atlanta?!?!? Yeah whudeva. Dag I can't even remember his name.
Sheree who I never really liked... and I'm sure she is losing SO much sleep knowing some chick in Baltimore don't like her
I will say this. I don't know if it's a Southern thing or they really just don't know how to use the king's English with correct verb noun pronoun etc usage. They just be jacking some words up!! I mean, my grandmother who was from a small ass town in Mississippi... she spoke VERY WELL so it can't be a Southern thing. And that new housewife WHO ACTUALLY IS A WIFE seems to be able to formulate coherent sentences. SO maybe NeNe, Sheree Kim and that Dwight dude just can't fucking talk!!. HE said something and I had to rewind my DVR and to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. To many wif instead of with of done and did instead of does. I am a stickler for nice teeth and correct language usage. Now this here blog might have you scratching ya head cause I do make up some words regularly and I know my conjugation can use some help most days... but if you are claiming to be SOCIETY and creme de la creme THEN TALK LIKE IT!! Dats alls I'm saying!!
Reality shows in general are just making me so disgruntled, frustrated and any other word that might help to describe my state of disgust. They just aren't REAL. I'm not sure if they ever were. At least the competition shows were entertaining at some point but for real, after Fantasia won (although that season I voted for both her and Jennifer Hudson who's husband looks very Jonathan-esque (Terry MacMillan)yeah go google him... but she does look good from the weight watchers) well no wait I did watch the season Elliot Yamin was on... dag who won that year, but I pretty much stopped when he didn't win. And I never was a Dancing With the Stars fan cause they aint really stars. I WAS a big Amazing Race fan but got mad at them when some whiny ass couple won (glad when the black couple won... not cause they were black but more cause of their situation). Project Runway COMPLETELY robbed Kara Suan and Korto Momolu on their respective seasons ( I still think that was racial). ANTM was just more of the same each cycle. I want a nice little fake TV show about fake people like Wysteria lane!!
But the shows supposedly about people's REAL LIFE... it's not really real.
Is it really real SON!?!?!?

random chick's TV review
yesterday was a hellified day... but you know, i have to take it in stride and keep it moving. I went and got some Yuengling, Merlot-Cab from 2 vines Columbia Crest, AND some vodka. I drank the beer which always gives me a sinus headache if I have more than 1... I had 3 LOL
So what the hell is up with this fall line-up?!?! I am a little disgruntle that the only show that has black main characters is the Undercovers show with Boris Kodjoe and the lady who I have never seen before... hole up let me google it right quick. OOHH she's English so she's been in shows I've never heard of. And then all the new shows are really hard pressed to have any more than 1 black cast member. Remember when we had Living Single, Martin, Different World, Moesha, Half and Half, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and I won't even mention Cosby because that was so main stream... BUT DAMN!! Where are all the black shows. I know many are in syndication on TV One or BET and I know a few still exist like Lincoln Heights (which I can never remember it's on). And let's not even go there with the whole Tyler Perry nonsense. I'm just not going there at all.
So since there aren't many shows with black folks I guess I'll go ahead and talk about the show I like or want to like that are new or newish...
Mike and Molly - This show so far is kinda cute. You have 2 overweight people who are wookin pnub and they just might find it in each other. They do have a black factor. Mike's partner way back when used to be Theo's friend on the Cosby show. And then some random African man who talks about how the people in his village are hungry... I have it set on my DVR and so far so good
GLEE - I like musicals!! Or musical related shows. And even though Rachel annoys the hell outta me, all the other characters make up for her annoyance. The Britney character has a dry subtle humor, but I was literally LOL last night from everything she said.
The Event - I feel like my feelings are going to be hurt by this show. It has some many high hopes, but then I don't want it to be like Lost... it drags you along for soooooooo many years and then just lets you down. I feel so let down by Lost, so many questions unanswered. And Blair Underwood, I WANT to like him, but he just plays these roles that borders on crazy OR is he just crazy?!?! So he is supposed to be a Cuban I guess born here cause he is the President. His wife actually is Latina and the kids is lightskinded... he could go either way. And then they keep jumping back 18 months, 8 days.. it's already getting exhausting trying to keep up. But again it is set on my DVR so we'll see.
Outsourced - the premise of this show is hilarious and so true. So many US companies have sent call centers (and other businesses) to India and other countries overseas. So maybe it's not so funny because I cringe when I call and Gupta answers the phone. And jobs have been lost, but there is something endearing about something that is facing the world as we know it and making it into a sitcom. One other thing I have a great problem with the whole THE BLIND SIDE thing where we have to leave it up to white folks to solve the ills of the world... or run a call center. there was only 1 show but so far so good. It come on after The Office... I think I'm kinda ready for that show to just wrap it up. and what happened to Parks and Recreation?!?!?
Hawaii 5-0 - Any show with Daniel Dae Kim (he was on Lost) is alright with me!! LAWD he is one sexy man! I'm just not sure I need a cop drama in my regular TV show watching line-up. I watched the pilot and it was aiight, but it is not set on my DVR.
Parenthood - As I watched it last night I fussed at the TV as to WHY I was even watching this show. It's about a pretty tight knit family and all the drama and struggle they go through. 1 sister wants to get pregnant again, 1 brother has an autistic son, 1 cousin slept with the other cousins boyfriend, OH and the got 2 black folks... the chick from Antwon Fisher who slept with 1 of the brothers 5 years ago and has a son Jabar who she just now told the dude about but then they get back together. So it's not horrible. But the main annoyance is the chick from Gilmore Girls (which I didn't even watch that show) who has 2 kids and had to move back in with her parents. She just... I just DO NOT like her. Probably the main reason is her daughter who was finally taking an interest in school and a teacher (played by Jason Ritter) the mother goes on a date with the teacher and is oblivious to the needs of her child... iono it just rubbed me the wrong way (that was last season btw). It Is set on my DVR and I keep giving into the nonsense.
Detroit 1-8-7 - NOPE no gonna watch a show that I KNOW is gonna be about murder
Grey's Anatomy - this is a staple. and I LOVE it soo what else can I say OOOHHH except that I think I might woulda had to work it out if I were Bailey and stayed with the Jason George character.
Private Practice - the white folks REALLY love Taye Diggs. I'm not sure how I feel about ALL the interaccialness on this show. I mean I have several multiracial components in my own family. It's just nice to see black folks with other black folks. And then the whole teenage pregnancy/mother with the only black child on the show... Was that really the only storyline they could have come up with??
Desperate Housewives - another staple. I LOVE it... Glad to see Vanessa Williams on it. Curious to see what they will do with her. Where do I sign up to do some housework in my lingerie and use a webcam?!?! I am short on cash too OOOOKAAAY!!!! LOL
Lastly and of course not least Oprah!! Australia?!?! COME ON!!! I was watching that mess like WTF is going on here! Mz Winfrey (who my mama believes is related cause they are both from the same small ass town in Mississippi) is doing it SO freaking big this season! I am so mad that I never scored, well nor did I attempt to score tickets to her show. She had Terry McMillian and her gay ex-husband on the show yesterday. And as much I LOVE Terry (oh yeah I gotta do book review) what happens in Jamaica or ______ fill in whatever blank you need to fill in, STAYS in Jamaica or ______!!! I said it then when it happened and even now, she should have sexed the hell outta him when she was there and kept his butt there!! There was NO reason to bring his lil young and apparently gay butt to live with her and then marry him. NO no no no noooooo!! I'm just sayin.
So that's my review. A chick is having a much better day today!! And in about 20 minutes I about to be hella busy...
So what the hell is up with this fall line-up?!?! I am a little disgruntle that the only show that has black main characters is the Undercovers show with Boris Kodjoe and the lady who I have never seen before... hole up let me google it right quick.

And then they keep jumping back 18 months, 8 days.. it's already getting exhausting trying to keep up. But again it is set on my DVR so we'll see.
Outsourced - the premise of this show is hilarious and so true. So many US companies have sent call centers (and other businesses) to India and other countries overseas. So maybe it's not so funny because I cringe when I call and Gupta answers the phone. And jobs have been lost, but there is something endearing about something that is facing the world as we know it and making it into a sitcom. One other thing I have a great problem with the whole THE BLIND SIDE thing where we have to leave it up to white folks to solve the ills of the world... or run a call center. there was only 1 show but so far so good. It come on after The Office... I think I'm kinda ready for that show to just wrap it up. and what happened to Parks and Recreation?!?!?
Hawaii 5-0 - Any show with Daniel Dae Kim (he was on Lost) is alright with me!! LAWD he is one sexy man! I'm just not sure I need a cop drama in my regular TV show watching line-up. I watched the pilot and it was aiight, but it is not set on my DVR.
Parenthood - As I watched it last night I fussed at the TV as to WHY I was even watching this show. It's about a pretty tight knit family and all the drama and struggle they go through. 1 sister wants to get pregnant again, 1 brother has an autistic son, 1 cousin slept with the other cousins boyfriend, OH and the got 2 black folks... the chick from Antwon Fisher who slept with 1 of the brothers 5 years ago and has a son Jabar who she just now told the dude about but then they get back together. So it's not horrible. But the main annoyance is the chick from Gilmore Girls (which I didn't even watch that show) who has 2 kids and had to move back in with her parents. She just... I just DO NOT like her. Probably the main reason is her daughter who was finally taking an interest in school and a teacher (played by Jason Ritter) the mother goes on a date with the teacher and is oblivious to the needs of her child... iono it just rubbed me the wrong way (that was last season btw). It Is set on my DVR and I keep giving into the nonsense.
Detroit 1-8-7 - NOPE no gonna watch a show that I KNOW is gonna be about murder
Grey's Anatomy - this is a staple. and I LOVE it soo what else can I say OOOHHH except that I think I might woulda had to work it out if I were Bailey and stayed with the Jason George character.
Private Practice - the white folks REALLY love Taye Diggs. I'm not sure how I feel about ALL the interaccialness on this show. I mean I have several multiracial components in my own family. It's just nice to see black folks with other black folks. And then the whole teenage pregnancy/mother with the only black child on the show... Was that really the only storyline they could have come up with??
Desperate Housewives - another staple. I LOVE it... Glad to see Vanessa Williams on it. Curious to see what they will do with her. Where do I sign up to do some housework in my lingerie and use a webcam?!?! I am short on cash too OOOOKAAAY!!!! LOL
Lastly and of course not least Oprah!! Australia?!?! COME ON!!! I was watching that mess like WTF is going on here! Mz Winfrey (who my mama believes is related cause they are both from the same small ass town in Mississippi) is doing it SO freaking big this season! I am so mad that I never scored, well nor did I attempt to score tickets to her show. She had Terry McMillian and her gay ex-husband on the show yesterday. And as much I LOVE Terry (oh yeah I gotta do book review) what happens in Jamaica or ______ fill in whatever blank you need to fill in, STAYS in Jamaica or ______!!! I said it then when it happened and even now, she should have sexed the hell outta him when she was there and kept his butt there!! There was NO reason to bring his lil young and apparently gay butt to live with her and then marry him. NO no no no noooooo!! I'm just sayin.
So that's my review. A chick is having a much better day today!! And in about 20 minutes I about to be hella busy...

pms is a BITCH!!!
so I just got over not being invited to lunch... what had happened was; well ok I'm not in the little clique. But I literally have 2 more days with these people so who really give a good rats ass. So I'm looking on facebook (cause even though a chick will be hella busy tomorrow... she's not really today) and I see my little cousin in a picture with his brother who he only met a few years ago (yes my family too shares a LOT of dysfunction) and I just lose it!! i know my grandmother would be so happy to know that despite her son who was really shitty to pretty much ALL the women he came in contact with, the 2 boys have come together.
I'm eating my oreos and drinking a madarin orange juice and i KNOW I shouldn't use food or alcohol but to be honest, it's not even really doign the trick. Maybe if I added some vodka to it?!? ADD to that my ass is getting bigger. I caught a glimpse of it in the mirror and I was like WHOA... WHOSE ASS IS THAT?!?!!? I'm almost at big booty girl status and that's not neccesarily a good thing.
I am so emotional right now. Nothing is going right, nothing nothing NOTHING!!! the only bright spot today is that i may be getting my free massage from my girlfriend who just started massage school. So WOOO HOOO for that.

church...
I really am a church kinda chick. I think it helps in your relationship with not only little baby Jesus, but grown up Jesus as well. this year I just have not been making it like I should. I work 50eleven jobs and I KNOW that shouldn't matter, but when I get home at 3 in the morning after having stood on concrete for 10 hours, my body says CHICK KEEP YOUR BUTT IN THIS BED!! So I do.
Since we have established my heathanistic ways as of late when I do actually go to church I notice everything. It was youth Sunday, thank God for that cause when I see the men's choir up there behind the pulpit, I'm like UGH not the men!! I never have really like mens choirs, they just always seem like they need just 2 more rehearsals and then they might get the song right. AND then they keep handing the mic to this one dude who does not hit the right note for the entire song. And then I feel bad because he is praising the Lord and I shouldn't judge yadda yadda yadda, but DAMN can't they give it to someone who can sing?!?! So ok youth Sunday. The youth sing and usher. So i come in to the little girl who is supposed to be ushering but she is singing at the top of her little lungs... dag I can't even remember the song... and not directing me which way to go. She has downs syndrome so her song is pure and innocent and off key and sincere. I know she has a special place in heaven where as God might be directing me to the janitor closet. So I sit down about 3 rows from the band and BOY is it loud!! The cutie pie drummer is drumming himself silly (see how I am already distracted) the guitar and bass player are doing there thing... and hold up so now we got 2 keyboards and an organ. Where the heck did the 2nd keyboard come from and that new dude playing?? Maybe he ain't so new since I ain't been in a while. The little kids start to sing and why is my eye zoomed in on the 2 littlest girls who are clapping to their own little beat. I don't know why this makes me chuckle. I am also thinking of my nieces who often times have their own beat when they sing and dance.
The message was actually very good. He spoke on obedience (which I know I have not been) and doing things the right way (which I strive to do). So the invitational song. Now the dude who usually plays the main keyboard is on the mic singing and I had to look away cause he looked like Cephus of Cephus and Reesie... In Living Color. I am trying so hard to stay focused. His eyebrows kept lifting up every time he sang a new word... so it was like he was surprised the whole song.
The whole time I am sitting next to a married couple and they are holding hands... IN CHURCH. I thought this was a kinda weird, but maybe it helps them bond to each other and again, who am I to judge?!? He did drift off to sleep a few times, so maybe that's her way of keeping him up! LOL
The only other thing I noticed were hair do's and don'ts. There's always an abundance of weave, some good some bad. And the jherri curls which I always wanna be like you do know it's 2010!?!? And afro's from the older dudes who refuse to cut their hair. Although, they might be I got it AND I'm flaunting it!!

HELL NO!!!
i'm feeling pretty intense about this right here. I got a letter from the gubment the other day, I opened and read it they said they was SUCKAS!! Yep see... feeling REAL Public Enemy about this. Bout to go get the S1W's!! Ok and yes it's only $40 but it's the principalities about it!! You feel ME!?!? oh wait you don't. I haven't even said what the heck is going on...
I got a letter from the Maryland 'Safety Zones' saying that I was going to fast in one of the freaking speeding zones and hence I need to pay the state of Maryland $40 for such an infraction. Now usually on principal when or if I get a ticket I feel it's karma. You know the universe has seen fit to issue me some type of warning that hey maybe I do need to slow down. But this whole speeding trap thing just gets under my skin. For one thing there is construction all up and down 695. They set up these random trucks that have all of the photo equipment at various points at random times. A chick has 50eleven jobs so I pretty much know where all of them are because I use 695 a great deal. I am all about slowing down for ACTIVE work sites because I would hate to think me driving too fast could injure not only me but one or more of those workers who are along the road. But even then I pretty much have to jump one of those concrete barriers and do a whole lot of damage to get to one of those workers.
#2 Where all these traps are set up about a 1/2 mile to a mile alla sudden no more work zone!! So you mean to tell me that I'm only an endangerment right before there is no more work zone? Yeah right!!
#3 It's just another form of bullying. The rules were made without my general input. 60MPH in one location 65 in another. But for a small section of the road where we (whoever the hell WE are) decided to put 50 MPH signs up AND a camera to make sure you keep you ass in check... that is emotional bullying. Emotional because I feel bad about having to slow down when I wasn't even speeding in the first place. I slam on my brakes, everyone around me has to do the same creating even more tension on the road and a hazard.
#4 and probably the MOST important reason as to why I feel as though in my onliest personal opinion the state of Maryland and all their affiliates are NOT getting an extra 40 bucks outta this chick... it was 2:45 AM. I was the ONLY chick on the road. I was in the center lane. So how was I endangering anyone? OH and per the letter I was going 64 which on any other day without the bully signs telling me I gotta go 50 would be ok.
I might break down and send the $40 but I already sent it back that I was contesting it. And it said it wouldn't be more than $40 and no points either way. I'm just in general mad at the whole damn state of MD. I know I have applied for several jobs with the state even though they furlough everyone pretty much every other month. The pay sucks but I know it would be steady, or at least I assume it would be. Also, I attempted to get money to take a class that would allow me to get a certificate to help in my general job search/marketability and I was told that since I had a job (a job where I am grossly underemployed) I didn't qualify. OH and I'm not displaced!! I have a job and a degree and I'm employable... which still makes me laugh because any bum on the street is employable to do something or another.
I flexed my civic duty and voted today... well it was the primary. But let it be known I am a disgruntled citizen and I need for something big to happend so I can get gruntled again!!!
