need to simplify

God's been telling me something for some time now. im just so damn slow at knowing it.
i need to simplify my life. i have too many distractions, way too many. i need to drastically simplify it. the less i carry with the less room and chance to needlessly worry. i really need to simplify.

man i really need to stop living in a bubble. if i were an animal, i swear, i'd be a turtle too scared to come out of its shell. maybe not scared. maybe too comfortable. or maybe just content.

and i gotta stop hoarding stuff. i know i can't take any of it with me. i know it as fact. it can't be done. even if i could i don't think i'd want any of it. i gotta give it away. gee... could i be any more vague? i swear...sometimes i crack myself up. man i'm so annoying.

street sweepers and rubber neckers

sit down for this....this is so funny you're not even going to laugh because it's so funny.
it's like 9:30 and im on my way to work on the freeway. and guess what? there's like 4 big city trucks sweeping the shoulder lane and hogging up all the bandwidth while kicking up dust and dirt in the air. of course they must do this at the most inconvenient times of the day; otherwise it would make too much sense, it would be logical, and the city certainly can't be logical or sensible. oh no, the city just can't. the same thing applies to road construction contractors. this happens more often than not in texas more than anywhere else, i've found.

now what's up with people driving and not paying attention? rubber neckers are the worst. of course im guilty of it too to a certain degree. after all i'm only human. rubber necking is fine as long as you don't slow down to 2 miles an hour. that's what happened today on my way home, on the freeway, due to what looked like a fatal accident (there were black body bags on the side of the road).

the worst rubber necking story was about this mom driving a van who literally slammed the brakes in the middle of an intersection, with cars behind her and all, just so that she could tell her kids to stop what they were doing and stare at an accident. i swear. that stuff just kills me.

if all drivers were considerate of others the world would be so much better that i believe crime rates would go down. if you're going to change lanes or make a turn, then for God's sake give a damn signal. don't be such a careless moron on the road. don't be such a tastless idiot behind the wheel. don't be such a selfish bastard.

other than that i had a pretty good day.

putting up with bull

the stupidest move i've made: signing up for a cell-phone family plan so that some dude who i don't even know can have a cell-phone, and only because he has bad credit (or no credit). i know. that's stupid. things weren't always this bad. things used to be pretty cool actually. but recently the phone bill has been getting kind of high, like 100%-150% higher than it should be. yikes! and the worst part of all this is that the dude lies in my face about the phone usage. it's kinda tough to lie to someone who has the itemized list of phone calls in his hands. it kills me. somebody please stab me right now.
