Well, I was bored, so I decided I would make a trip to the capital city to get some sort of entertainment (DVD, CD, video game, etc.). I have money left over from my birthday that is just burning a whole in my checking account. I thought I'd take the back way, attempting to avoid some of that dreaded interstate construction. BUT...it didn't work. There were orange cones littered on the back route, as well. It wasn't too bad, but it looked like the opposite side of the road was pretty backed up, so I made a note to try the interstate on the way back.
Anyways, I got to Best Buy and browsed around. But...most everything sucks. I saw some PS2 games that looked tempting (X-men Legend II for one) but I ended up passing them by. Then on my second trip through the TV series section I saw season five of All In The Family. I thought it was never coming out, but there it was, and I snatched it up. Damned finest TV series ever, and all.
On the way back I made sure to get on the interstate. Well, **** that. Just as I was getting on the on-ramp I could see a backup of cars winding from behind a hill. Too ****ing late, though. So I forced my way onto the highway as only a total prick can. Then I gas-break-honked for ten minutes just so we could get around less than half a mile of highway that was being worked on. The bad part is is that there are signs for miles saying that the two left lanes are going kaput soon, yet people still wait until the last second to merge over. AND they expect the rest of traffic to stop to let them do it. UGH!!!
It's all enough to make you want to hate orange and disown it as your favorite color, but it still hasn't gotten quite that bad. And it was almost enough to make thinking going to the big city wasn't worth it, but All In The Family is just that awesome.
All of the people that live in warmer climates don't realize how lucky they have it. Sure, you have to sweat your asses off a lot of the time, but construction in warm place can occur YEAR AROUND. In Michigan, they have to cram all of the construction into a FIVE MONTH PERIOD. Plus, if the roads get the slightest crack (and they do, CONSTANTLY), ice will infiltrate the cracks during the winter and tear them to ****. Which means that MORE construction needs to be jammed into the already short construction season. I pretty sure it's the reason why the standard of living in Michigan SUCKS, since most of the money here goes towards fixing the roads which are just going to break apart by next year. Someone please invent HOVERCARS. NOW.
Oh, and I hope that the blog feature thing pans out.
The end?

It sure seems like it. Oh, and thanks for that ****ing NAFTA highway BS Mr. Clin-ton. Because we really needed 8 billion more 18-wheelers clogging the already crowded roads.
