The Superfecta.

     When I'm driving, I look around and constantly find myself shaking my head when I look at the way other people are driving. The biggest turnoff, for me, is people who commit the "Superfecta". If you're not familiar with the term, it's a horse racing term that refers to a bet you make where you're able to accurately pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in order and you get a really large payout on a $2 bet.
     In my case, I see the Superfecta from time to time, but mainly on the freeway. A person will be speeding--really speeding, not just 70mph speeding--who then passes me on the right, without signaling, because they're too busy talking on the phone.
     Any one of those, by itself, is enough to make my skin crawl, but together...? Ugh. I mean, we all have our faults but passing on the right and not signaling (I can kind of understand the other two)? One is a safety measure and the other is a respect measure.
     Then again, maybe I'm just being too sensitive to what the human race has devolved into. After all, I can be realistic and understand that we're all a bunch of miserable, self-absorbed, little savages on the inside, but why would you want to advertise that on the outside? Perhaps it's for the same reason I started this pointless blog in the first place; as a way to vent your frustrations to a world that doesn't seem to understand you.
     But maybe they would if you would just signal from time to time and not try to pass people while they're trying to get to the off-ramp. Maybe. But what the hell do I know?

Welcome.

So, I guess this is how you roll with these blog things. I haven't figured out what to say yet, but in time, I'm sure I will.
