fast cars, fortune cookies, and football.

i wish i could say the journey from albuquerque to flagstaff went as smooth as good butter on perfectly toasted bread, however comma, i can not say such. it's all freeway between abq and flg (abbreviated for MY convienience) but that doesn't mean it goes smoothly. near incident number one: as i drive down the freeway i find myself stuck behind a semi truck, going slower than i would like to. seeing a large gap in the lane next to us, i decide to pass. as i am passing the truck decides it should move over. thus resulting in my getting out of the way by drifting off the road and cranking the accelorator as fast as the dang thing would go and surviving, unscathed.
the second incident was less my fault. i once again find myself in the fast lane, and find a silver dodge truck in the less fast lane. without looking, the silver dodge starts drifting into my lane. at first it appeared he was just drifting but it quickly became clear that he was coming over. . . right. . . where. . . i. . . was. yeaaaaaaaaah, ummm not cool. so i lay on the horn, saying at first "hey nutjob, i'm here, watch out for me!" the truck did not notice this. so i smash the horn as hard as i can, and pull somewhat into the median to avoid being crushed by this rather large truck. FINALLY as i'm completely out of the lane the truck pulls in and notices me honking my horn, halfway into hte median and changes lanes again.
ugggh, driving is a bear. but i'm grateful for no accidents.

now something you might enjoy:
today my family and i went to panda express for lunch. and the meal came and went and it came time for one of my favorite treats at any chinese restaurant the fortune cookie. i could go on for a while about how fortunes aren't really fortunes, but, you've probably heard it. so anyway my mother cracks hers open and it says something like "you draw cultured and artistic people to yourself." not a fortune, but not too bad. my dad opens his and it says something along the lines of "you will find contentment, by summers end" more of a fortune than anything else i'd seen recently. so it came time for me to open mine. i open it, eat the cookie and look at the "fortune" and it says and i quote "your judgement is a little bit off" not even close to a fortune. in fact i'm pretty sure that i was just insulted by a cookie. and that doesnot sit well with me.

go pack.
