Nov. 6th, 2002 05:22 pmAmazing how the right song and apathy can put you in a better mood.
I now have to contact my current insurance company tomorrow to have them show proof, in writing, to my prospective insurance company that 2 of the 3 accidents on my driving record were not my fault. If they can't, the price goes up to $2,263.00 every 6 months and $828.00 down. FUCK YEAH! HAHAHAHA! If it isn't one thing, it's another. This, I will do tomorrow...but for now, it's loud music and I-don't-give-a-fuck.
You know what, now is a grand time to rant about 2 things I've noticed lately.
1. People who bitch rather loudly while waiting in a long line.
What the fuck? Is that helping? Are you making anything better? Is the line fucking moving faster? What makes YOU so much more important than the slobbering fool in front of you or behind you? Why is your time so precious? The people helping the slobs waiting in line, are they hearing what you're spewing? Do they give a shit? NO. So shut your vacuous hole. NO ONE wants to hear it. Banks and the post office are the WORST.
2. People who can't think for themselves.
Last night, at the bookstore, an older woman came in asking for help looking for MANY and VARIOUS books. I was slightly impressed that she wanted books on the history of Africa and had already been reading on Muslim culture. More people should fucking educate themselves and not be so shut off here in A-mur-ica. See, I love books. I love books with an unholy passion. It makes me happy just to be around them. But people who think the printed word is fucking fact, piss me off. Case in point, said woman whom I had slightly respected as she was not what one expected, then said to me, "I've read FIVE books on the Muslim religion." To which, in my head, I replied, "Oh, wow....FIVE WHOLE BOOKS?! Oh my god, when do you receive your doctorate?" She then knocked herself down another 5 rungs by stating that based on her VAST knowledge, the muslims were "crazy". Nice. SO FUCKING NICE. And no wonder most of the world hates our dumb asses. What happened to common sense, thinking for yourself, and having, as Hemingway put it, "a built-in bullshit detector". Why would you write off an entire population of people based on what you read in 5 measly books? People who think they're intelligent because they're "educated" or "well-read" are just informed retards. Sure, you meant well, you started out on the right path, but you didn't know what to do once you got there. Christ, as if it wasn't enough that people don't read enough, learn enough, now they don't even know what to do with the information, how to process it, how to form their own intelligent opinions? It's the same reason I generally hate the average college student. You know, the snot-nosed twerps who regurgitate whatever the professor or the textbook says, never question, never wonder, never form their own opinions. Some people don't know how to use their paid education, they should give it to me. Assholes.
My hair is fucking short. I'm not used to my neck being so exposed.
