Damn it to hell
well you would think after watching Law&Order, Law&Order SVU, Law&Order CI, CSI:, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Cold Case, the Shield, and the shows on CourtTV I would know how to be a freakin witness. i was on my way to Living Zen in downtown atlanta somewhere. i don't go there much so when i do i map it out and do a trial run. this town's schematics suck trust me. so anyhow i'm doing my trial run today because i am showing some of my work to the owner of the above said place. now this is where my plug about driving safely comes in from my last post, because i always give myself plenty of room *usually* between myself and the person in front of me, because i believe everyone but me drives like an idiot. i just don't trust other drivers, anyhow, my truck doesn't stop on a dime either. so anyway, this taurus in front of me is cruising along. this idiot flatbed truckdriver *not a tractor trailer* is slowing moving into my lane, mind you, moving into the taurus next to him. so the taurus blows his horn. nothing. keeps moving. so i blow my horn *here is where my airhorn really would have come in handy*. still nothing. this idiot had to have either been fallin asleep at the wheel *at noon mind you*, drinking or on drugs or something. anyway, he hits the taurus, although the taurus tries to cut into the next lane but can't because of another car. i feel for him really i do. so anyhow the truck hits him, LF fender, LF door and blows out the LF tire. i do say the man in the taurus handled his car well. didn't hit anyone in another lane and i was far enough behind him that i didn't ram him. and if you have ever driven in atlanta, you should know there are at least six lanes and the speed limit is 55 but no one drives freakin 55. so traffic is speeding. but the truck keeps going and the whole time i'm ya know screamin and yaking in my truck, like anyone can here me, i'm blowing my horn which apparently people can't hear although i can, and eventually the taurus and i get to the shoulder. which luck would have it a cop is there because there is another car that has to get towed for whatever reason. btw, cute cop haha. anyhow, the old man gets out of the car and i'm makin sure he's ok. he's rattled but kinda ticked. of course, such the good witness that i am, i didn't even get the trucks license. like i said, you would think i would have. but when the time comes, i am worrying about other things like if i'm going to hit someone, if the car in front of me is going to blow up, is he hurt or dead, etc etc. so i can understand when they say that eye witnesses aren't very reliable. cause the adrenaline is going and you are trying to do many things and think many things at once. i did offer to speed off and find the truck which i'm sure i could have done but cop suggested i not. so i was dismissed basically because i didn't get any information. poor man. anyhow that was the excitement of my day. hell i was so discumbobulated *spelling i know lol* that i couldn't even remember where my damn hazard switch was lmao. turns out right there on the freakin dash to the right of the steering wheel. DUH! but like i said now i can understand when witnesses can't really remember or didn't get a good look or didn't get any information. it's a lot to think about when in the middle of an incident. least i stopped. not one other damn person stopped and i know at least a dozen people saw it like i did. sad *shakes head*
on another note. do i have another note? i don't know. anyone want a rabbit's foot? really, i don't have them yet but i will. Bugs is still alive. for now....i had a semi-migraine this weekend so didn't do squat. and now i'm freaking out because the biotch from the chiropractor's office didn't call me back about the job *bitch* i wish they would not say *i will definately call* when they don't fucking mean it. and i'm going to need a job soon. just a part time one. and no Y i can't be a stripper, just not in me, although i'm told i can do it. i just can't stand the way they look at me. and i refuse to drink or do drugs to block it out. i'm such a good person aren't i? lmao!
so this week is kinda busy, from working on photo projects for class and studying for the other one, to showing some of my work, to fitting tai chi in somehow and workouts, to fasting for my labwork and getting my slides scanned and printed and picking up my new used camera. i know there's something missing in there but i can't remember. i did get to clean up the nose prints off the windshield! i got this great stuff for cleaning windows from the auto place, too bad i can't swipe anymore, works MUCH BETTER than the retail stuff i tell ya. oh and i have to mail out these books i've sold and apply for more jobs. *sigh* would be nice to be taken care of......
