that happened to me, i was driving back down from my college upstate, middle of the night, i was the only car around going like 90 lol. Cop was agitated as hell. As he was walking over I turned off my ipod (classic) in the center console and he started freaking out at me asking what i was doing.

He didn't shoot me but he sure as hell gave me an expensive ass ticket and a bunch of points on my license

Yeah I got 8 points in that one shot

Then they gave me a driver assessment which I thought meant I’d have to take some safety course. Instead a driver assessment is where they assess whether or not you have $1000 to give them on top of the $400 ticket.

I had the option to pay the assessment in one shot or the option over 3 years with no interest. I said they could suck my nuts and I’ll pay over time since money loses value. Douchebags.

I had an interesting day today. I tried to pass a car going 30 on a country road so he drove in both lanes and then went 60 for the next 10 miles.

In a scene right out of the movie "Office Space", I was on a state highway and was passed by a mentally ill man who was walking!

There are some good people in this world. I was at a strip mall and extremely dehydrated for medical reasons. I didn't know if I could drive to a gas station w/o passing out and I didn't want to because sometimes you can't get out of gas stations during rush hour traffic. I went into a restaurant to buy a water. I expected to pay $2-3 for a cup the way they charge at gas stations. I didn't tell the clerk that I was sick or that I just wanted water. She gave it to me for free anyways. I really appreciated it.

A friend invited me to a dogwalk fundraiser yesterday..weather was perfect and there were about 500 dogs there. I got pretty sunburnt because I didn't think to bring a hat, but it was beyond worth it. What a day to be alive.
