This is only recent, but MySpace has included the number of views for each bulletin. While this is kind of a cool feature, I can’t help but notice that a majority of the bulletins put out by normal people are seen by between 0 and 2 people, and that, even for more popular/famous people like comedians, the views are less than 100. While it is a neat feature, I think MySpace is only highlighting the fact that fewer and fewer people are using it. It’s kind of sad, but also kind of really hilarious how desperate MySpace is in creating these new features.

What the fuck? First, I’ll start off with what happened to me tonight, then I’ll go off from there about reasons why I hate this section of society. I’m looking to make this a regular column, where I basically yell at people. Tonight, I was driving home on a street which has a posted speed limit of 40 miles an hour. I normally go about 5 mph over, and feel that this is the perfect reasonable speed at which to drive, but I’m not saying that everyone should and different people have different needs. However, since this is such a small street, of two lanes, where most people are going about 2 over, I feel it is fucking ridiculous when ass holes try to go about 15 over. So this guy goes speeding past me on the right, and so I honked at him. He then, being the douche bag he is, gave me the peace sign. To some extent, this could be understood, if he was telling me to chill. He then proceeded to get as close as possible to the car in front of him so he could change lanes without braking. I saw the line of cars in front of me panic as this happened, because he did it so quickly, and without any consideration for the other drivers on the road. He eventually cut in front of them when given barely enough room, and went on his way.
To a red. fucking. light.
He sped up, and cut off like 3 cars and tailgated one so he could get THAT far ahead on his way to a red light.
I’m sure part of this is just the presence of douchebags and ass holes in this town, but a large part of this is also the WILD misinterpretation of the peace sign. It represents peace and harmony. Not being an ass hole and causing danger to a few lives. Nobody got hurt in this instance, and in most instances like this, nobody does get hurt, but it does cause panic and anger and frustration with nearly ALL of the people involved. Using a peace sign doesn’t excuse him from being an arrogant, selfish, aggressive driver. It means he’s an ass hole who doesn’t know what the fuck “peace” is. And this is representative of society as a whole. A majority of people want to go on with their lives peacefully without ass holes fucking with them, to put it simply and full of cuss words. But the problem arises when THESE SAME PEOPLE ARE ASS HOLES TO EVERYONE ELSE. It’s hypocritical, clearly, but it really shows just how goddamn ignorant everyone is and how inconsiderate people are, ESPECIALLY when it comes to driving in this town. People don’t want to be cut off, but expect to be ignored when people cut them off? No. I am going to honk my fucking horn at shitty drivers and call them on their bullshit driving. Someone has to. Everyone who doesn’t, I feel, is a goddamn pussy. We can’t let these ass holes take over the road completely, but the sad thing is, they do, and most people LET them. LET’S NOT LET THEM ANYMORE. PEOPLE NEED TO DRIVE CONSIDERATELY, AND IF THEY DON’T, HONK. MAKE A BIG FUCKING DEAL. It’s dangerous to EVERYONE involved, and it’s, as shown in this case, and I’m sure many everyone has seen, unnecessary in the long run. Hell, even in the short run, this ass hole was only got about 20 feet ahead of everyone else while risking their safety!
In conclusion: FUCK ASSHOLE DRIVERS

I was pretty shocked at first to see the kinds of things that people might think of bringing on airplanes…
