Wishes DO come true!

Granted maybe not the ones you want, and not as many as you want, but at least one has for me.

YAY!

I took a minor road trip today because I want to take photos of a building that is a little more interesting than the ones that have been photographed a ZILLION times by SCAD students in the Photo Department. So I went driving through south Georgia and I think I found a few houses. Hopefully I can photograph one without getting thrown out or something. Yea I know I think the worst. But I am a little nervous going out with this huge ass camera by myself. It takes at least an hour to set up. And then I have to deal with focusing, making sure the lines of the building are totally parallel. SO I'm anxious. I finally do have my concealed weapons permit so I'm legal when I carry my little tyke around. Oh I also need to put my bamboo staff (ok it's just a stick but it can do some damage and most likely won't break) in the truck. Can ya tell I feel vulnerable? So unlike me. NOt sure what's happening......Still working on getting that pump-action shotgun and a gun rack for the truck....ya I know, how country hehe.

Ok anyway. ON to what I was writing about. You know those assholes on the road. Those drivers that INSIST on speeding about 20 miles over (in a 35 mph zone). Well down here in good ole Tybee Island the police are quite strict about the speeding. Of course that's IF they are around. You know how you see those people whizzing by (after being up your ass for so long you can taste their bumpers) and what I think when they go by of course is "Where is a damn cop when you need one? I wish they would get stopped." And other similar stuff. Well my niece was with me and coming onto the island it goes from 55 mph to 45 to 35. WEll a lot of people, most especially TOURISTS, keep on speeding and ignore the Reduce Speed Ahead signs. So I tell my niece that I hope he gets stopped but of course there isn't a cop around. Well lo and behold coming from the other direction is Officer Bob. He's driving our way and the truck that sped past me decides he's going to pull over and hide from the officer. WEll Officer Bob already caught him speeding and was slowing down to make a U-turn in front of me, so I let him cause I KNEW he got him. Officer Bob made his U-turn and on come the lights. YIPPEE! I was ecstatic. My niece couldn't believe it and we both high-fived each other and I told her that speeding will get you a ticket or more. I'm sure she will speed, hell I still do, just not so much now that I'm carrying a lot more weight with this truck and my center of gravity isn't the greatest.

Do you wonder what the hell people are doing in their cars? Have you ever seen any weird shit? NOw that I have a truck, granted it's not lifted that extra 5 inches that I want, but I can see everyone, just about except the 18 wheelers. Luckily I haven't seen anyone half naked cause that would burn the back of my eyes, cause ya know it seems the grossest people are whacking off or getting naked in public. But this one couple was driving and the woman driving kept speeding up and slowing down, of course getting on my damn nerves. I mean either pay attention or put your high dollar car on cruise control. Anyway I pass her ass and a man is in the passenger seat. I would say the husband but I'm not trying to make assumptions. Anyway, he is flailing his arms, waving his hands around, bobbing his head and appears to be yelling and screaming. Now, is he yelling AT the woman or are they having a heated discussion about something he's mad about? I hope he wasn't yelling at her. Cause that's just not right while you are speeding down the highway at 80 mph. I'd make his ass walk.

I've also seen some people really digging into their noses. I wonder if they could touch their brains. Then they inspect the shit. I don't look to see what they do with it, that would just make me gag. Granted I am not saying I don't pick my nose, but I certainly don't do that when someone is next to me at a redlight or on the road.

I do like when I see topless men in cool ass pickups. Ya I know I think I'm going further and further country the more I live down here. But I saw two hotties today hehe.

Ok. I don't think I've hit this many bugs EVER while driving to Marietta. Yet somehow today my entire windshield was covered in bug goo. DOwn here at this time of year there are these annoying little bugs that are stuck together fucking. We call them Fuck Bugs, because that's what they are doing. Getting it in before they die or some shit like that. Of course as a little kid we used to call them Love Bugs. Well now I'm grown up, I know what they are doing now. So anyway, at the gas station I put up the windshield wipers and see dozens of these coupled bugs stuck to the wipers. Poor things. Fucking all the way up to splatting against my windshield. No babies for you! But usually only parts of my windshield get bug splat on them. Not today. My ENTIRE window was covered. I have to totally wash this truck down cause the stuff at the gas station couldn't get it off and I pressed HARD on that squeegee!

I'm sure there was more but I simply can't remember and I must have some chocolate right now. Tomorrow. I fast. I haven't for a while since I almost passed out at work. Least I was in the hospital in case I did pass out. I'm still not sure I'm getting enough sodium (apparently I have low blood pressure) but I am eating better so it's time to fast once a week again. Must.....lose........weight..........
