...That's wrong with the world these days. I'm not saying I'm old, or that everything's gone to sh*t, but I think that societies little standards have fallen. I'm not a purist, traditionalist or high-strung librarian - I'm a reasonable, piratical girl. Now, I'll start by describing how colour blind the world is. I saw a 2-compartment freight truck hauling under the name of "Yellow Freighting". Now, not only was the truck itself white not yellow, but white, the logo and the text of the phone number & website were in orange. I mean, geez! If you're gonna start a company, you'd better be damned consistent -
"Go with the yellow font sir, we are named Yellow Freighting."
"No, dammit, Jesserie, we're usin' the ORANGE font, and the ORANGE logo to advertise our company named YELLOW freight."

...And, there's more! I recently saw an old lady who had dyed her hair diseased-cat-piss yellow/barf-green. It was horrific. Almost as bad as her much too low shirt. That's also another thing - societies dress standards are at once falling and rising at an alarming rate! I mean, alright, so I've got, like, a perfect body and,like, totally hot, nice 32" legs - doesn't mean that I can run about in "shorts" which qualify more under the category of lingerie than clothing. Girls - leave somethin' for the guys' imagination - they'll be more prone to... performing... If you let them see it all at once, they'll just get it over and done with once and for all. Imagination is much better than explicitly showing - it gives it a bit more romance.

Alright, beefs 1,2 and 3 over. Now, beef #4. A couple days ago, I was waiting for my bus by the University. And, lo and behold, I saw my friend biking towards me. I said "Hey", he said "Good Mornin'" and we both went on our way... Well, he did, I stayed put. And just after he'd gone and brightened my day, three kids came up and decided to talk loud, talk like they knew everything, talk, talk, talk... And they weren't even girls. Alright, tween to 15-year-old boys, I am going to be offensive. If you are in this age demographic and are not:


...Then you are exempt from following accusations and I humbly apologize for all the flaming and burning and beefing which will soon be directed at your age group... *takes a breath*

Alright, so I was waiting for the bus, just a block down from a street where there are lots of University students and pedestrians and cars. Lots. Tons. A huge gyrating mass. And so, they all just go about on their business and honk, swear and then wave and move on. Except one man and cyclist. The car was turning right, onto my street, quite fast, and failed to notice the oncoming cyclist (Bad. -4 points) until his bike was halfway under the tire and the cyclist (no helmet, so -2 points) until he'd flipped over the car and landed half on his side, half on his face.

Alright, so far, Car: -4 Cyclist: -2

The cyclist then proceeded to get up, wipe some blood from his arm and swear at the driver of the car. (considering his circumstances, +1.) The driver came out and apologized, then, after assuring the cyclist was alright, went back to his car to fish out a towel. The driver had his passenger call someone, we'll assume it's 911. (Car, +1). The towel went to the cyclist, who gratefully took it to gingerly wipe at his arm. After the driver and cyclist worked together to take the bike out from under the car, the cyclist stood by the corner, where he was attended to by passers-by whom he thanked. (Car: +1; Cyclist: +1; Passers-by: +1 for each, so +7.)

Then, the one kid, whom I thought would be an alright kid, turned, pointed and roared in laughter. "DUDE, that guy hit a biker! Awesome! That's so hilarious! Dude, look'it! He's bleedin' from the head, man! Sweet! That's priceless, man, priceless."

Forgive me lord, for I am about to sin...



What the f*cking hell is wrong with kids these days. If any of you reading this is would laugh at such a sight as a cyclist almost losing his life - GO GET HIT BY A SPEEDING CAR AT THIS POINT IN TIME. If you manage to survive/keep your lungs/chest intact - then I'm sure you'd be able to laugh at this and say "Oh, that's not as bad."

Whoever that kid's stupid and irresponsible parents are: -100,000 points!!!! GET SOME THERAPY FOR LETTING YOUR KID PLAY GTA or KILL PEOPLE ON BIKES WITH CARS. OR, help your kid gain some humility and respect for life - CAT O' NINE! CAT O' NINE!

Also, the kid was trying to get his two friends (who fall under category of concerned passers-by so: Passers-by: +9) to laugh with him at the dude now bleeding from the head and shaking slightly. So,


End Beef #4. Total Tally:
