02:26 pm - My entry on Craigslist
On July 12th around 5:30 you called me stupid.

Around 5:30 on July 12th I was pulling out of the Gold's Gym parking lot making a right turn onto 98 heading north. I was driving a green Honda Civic and you were driving an older gray car. I am a white male in my mid-20's and you are a white female possibly in your late 40's with black hair. I was turning into an open lane, but as I was turning you switched lanes into my open lane. However, once you were behind me you laid on your horn. As if that was not enough for you, you switched lanes and pulled into the lane that would become the onramp onto I-4 East heading towards Orlando. The lane, while you were driving in it, was not open yet. You pulled up beside me, and while speeding in a closed lane, yelled at me "stupid!" I was baffled why someone that was speeding (I was driving the speed limit, so you had to have accelerated faster than me to get even with me in about one second) in a closed lane would do this.
I was a bit upset. Why would someone call me stupid? I have three college degrees; I am a former MENSA member, and a physics instructor. Not to toot my own horn, but I am not what one would qualify as "stupid". Also, I have not received as much as a parking citation since the year 2000. I am, in fact, quite a good driver.
Alas, this is not what concerns me. Why would one human being be so hateful to another human being? Even if I was at fault, what if I just found out that a loved one passed away or my poor little doggy was run over? It could be having the worst day of my life and your cruel tongue might have just been one more dagger. What about me? You do not know me. I could have been crazy! Haven't you ever heard of road rage? I am a very calm person and quite polite. Despite this, it was difficult for me to suppress the rage that you caused from boiling up inside me. I understand how easy it would have been for someone with a bit more aggressiveness than I to jump in behind you and follow you to your destination and have a confrontation. Regardless, in either scenario, I hope that you feel justified in breaking the law and risking people's life to call me stupid.
One last thing...why? We all get frustrated at others while driving. It is just a part of sharing the road. But why take it up a notch as you did? Is your quality of life truly that poor that you must inflict your bad luck and bad decisions on others? Do you really have that much rage to deal with? Either way I recommend therapy. Get out of the bad relationship that is keeping you down. Find a new job so you won't have such an asshole for a boss. Whatever your problems are in life I encourage you to fix them. Please contact me and we can work it out. I might be able to help you find a new job. Your negative energy is just bringing others around. If your spiteful nature was unleashed so harshly on a random stranger I can only imagine how you treat those around you on a day-to-day basis.
Get help...and I forgive you for calling me stupid.

| the Wit |
| CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat. I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion. You probably loved the Office.

11:15 pm - Nanci is super
I just want everyone to know, how super Nanci is (Mara Jade Skywalker on nightly.net). She is very nice and funny and swell. I like her because she is super cool and likes Star Wars too (like me).

02:14 pm - wow
How bad is it when you get thrown out of a Denny's at 3AM?
Not to go into any details, but it started with this:
Our (very heavyset) waiter: Sorry about not bringing your waters. I have been running all night.
David: Not running enough.
I am glad we got our food before he said that. It only went downhill from there. This was the first time David has ever over-the-top drunk and last night was his 27th birthday. I will cut him some slack. I felt so bad for our waiter. Poor guy.

12:36 pm - Oh my god I hate people
How the fuck do people get to be so god damned retarded?
I am talking to this girl I am decently friendly with from one of my classes and I was telling her that the last few nights I have been having dreams about a different person that used to be or still is an important person in my life but I am not in contact with (each night a different person). When I informed her that the most recent dream is of my great grandma that died last March she suggested that maybe she is visiting me. She informed me that when her great grandfather was abouot to die in the hospital that different people in her family dreamed about him so it MUST HAVE BEEN him visiting them in their sleep. IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN the fact that it was a highly stressful situation preoccupying their mind and blah blah blah. I asked her if he 'visited' her and she said 'no'. I told her she didn't make the cut and it was obvious he didn't love her. She said, "you can be a real asshole sometimes". Not that I really care what she thinks because it is obvious that she has a fucking brain disorder (not that I am not an asshole, because I am; I mean I wouldn't be if people weren't such fucking retards).
I swear I am going to end up being that crazy old man in town that never leaves his house. God bless the Internet.

Thursday I rolled my ankle walking down some steps. I can hobble around on it as long as I don't bend it. This makes driving, for the most part, impossible. I am holed up in my apartment right now. Somehow I need to make it to the Wizards game tomorrow. There is no way I will be playing soccer on Sunday. I have gotten a lot of homework done and I have watched everything I recieved on Netflix. Which, by the way, Freaks and Geeks is awesome. If you have Netflix and have never seen this sitcom it is incredible.
I lost my ATM debit card (again) and I almost like it. I was nickle and diming myself to death.

I love the question "Two consenting adults have the right to dual to the death." That is awesome.
I would not consider myself a democrat because I HATE the Federal Government interfering in life. I think the smaller the government interferance, the better. That and I am very pro-science tree hugger.

01:17 am - this sucks ass
This pretty much fucking sucks ass. My best friend (is currently on vacation) and I decide to drive to Florida tomorrow for a variety of reasons while having dinner tonight. We start planning and all of a sudden his hernia starts acting up. I don't know how much of it is his hernia or how much it is him being a bitch. He isn't too much of an impulsive guy so it was probably setting in that he would drive 20 hours or so, so he freaked. The hardest part for me though is that I got excited to see Nanci. Worst yet, she was excited that I was coming down and now I have to tell her that I am not coming which is going be hard. I hope she understands.
I will try to talk him into it tomorrow but I am not holding my breath. I figure a 20% chance in convincing him to go. We will see.

12:06 pm - Boring
I am growing increasingly bored. I have nothing to do for two weeks. I could have done all my school meetings over the phone and made my decision that way. I would have stayed in Florida with my Grandparents if I had a choice. I would have been able to hang out with Nanci more. They could have just sent me the books that I have to teach.
I finally talked to Marianne the other day, she had been calling me for a few days and I never returned her call. I realized that I had to desire to even see her so I just blew her off (I did have to help my mom with her water garden that evening). Asshole move, but I am an asshole and I really don't want to see her anymore for obvious reasons.
I am looking through these textbooks and I am wondering what I am supposed to do. Mathis easy to teach. You ask the class what problems they had trouble with/ you do them/ review new material/ assign homework. Easy cheesy. History you actually have to have a gameplane. I have no idea what to do. I know I will be the TA that asks..."what did you learn from this reading..." and it is painfully obvious that I just read the assignment minutes before the class like everyone else. I don't have a computer for reasons I don't want to go into, but I had a nice one and it was taken without my approval. Anyways, I spend my afternoons over at my mom's house using her computer. I cannot wait to get my new laptop!
That is it for now...
