Hey you!! Yeah, you. The one with the headlights...

...the ones that blind me.  You know who you are.  The guy with the sit down to pee SUV that will never turn a wheel off of pavement.  The mom with the $45, 000 minivan that will never leave the metro area.  The guy with the fancy European sports car that will never, I repeat NEVER be driven on the Autobahn.  YOU DO NOT NEED THESE ANNOYING HEADLIGHTS!!!!    The ones that blind everyone else on the highway.  You do not need these headlights because, now listen carefully, you will never drive your car where there are no street lights.  You will always be able to see because my tax dollars pay for these great big overhead lights...everywhere you will ever drive. 

And to all the kids that think installing these lights on your little POS Hondas and VW's makes you look cool?  Think again.  All it makes me think is that you are too stupid to spend your money where it really matters.  Like on body work.  Or fenders that are all the same color.

College degrees

I'm just going to throw this out there.  A college degree does not make you smarter than I am.  All a college degree says to me is you have specialized knowledge in one particular subject.  That piece of paper does not make you any better than me....or the waitress who brings your food, the clerk who rings up your groceries or the person that serves you your ridiculous $18 martinis.  I believe that having an adequate amount of knowledge in many areas would be much more useful than paper.  Remember that the next time you have to call someone like me to help you fix the outlet in your bathroom, fix your dryer, install a garbage disposal or lay new tile in your bathroom.  Looking down your nose at people because you have a pretty piece of paper hanging on your wall is pure arrogance.  The sad part is you will never see it because when you look down your nose all the time your field of vision becomes severely limited.

So, I heard on the radio that the "Occupy Portland" f*$#s are planning a day to disrupt Trimet. Why, you ask? Well, apparently public transportation is a "basic human right". Seriously, that's what they said. The last time I checked the basic rights that every American had were, and I quote, "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." You know, from the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!!! It doesn't say anything about public transportation you ignorant fucks. (Sorry if I offend, I didn't feel like disguising my honest opinion this time.) So go. Pursue. But stop trying to turn everything that you don't have into a "right". Basically you're saying that if you don't have "it" (whatever the focus of the day is) that it is someone else's job to provide it to you. I call bullshit. If you want it, go get it. Get on your bike or your skateboard and go get it. But stop disrupting the rest of it while you do it.
