I posted something last Thursday on an invasion of our privacy only to backtrack and remove the link. Here’s why I took the post down - and why I’m writing about it again.

[more…]

I’ve taken this post down for security reasons, but this is the gist - some stupid idiots, please excuse the profanity, fucked up big time. I’ll repeat some of the stuff I said earlier, what the fuck were they thinking?!? Were they thinking at all?!? Do they even have brains?!?

I don’t really know what else to say about this.

I almost ran head-on into another car tonight. The idiot in the other car was (1)speeding (2)down the wrong side of the road (3)while approaching an incline. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I probably wouldn’t be here now writing about this idiot - I would yelling at and cursing him. Worse, I could be at or on the way to the hospital. As to whether the idiot would be injured or not, I couldn’t care less. Given the way he was driving, any injuries he would have sustained would be well deserved. Given the speed at which both our cars were running, those injuries would have been pretty - well - significant. Put another way, any contact would have led to a very ugly scene.

There was, fortunately, no contact - at least none involving my car. I still need to vent though, and that’s what this entry is for.

This week the sea tried to take me. Fortunately for me, the water in the area was pretty shallow - at no point did the water level get higher than my chest. The sea could not take me away - I was safe. Some other items on me, however, were not.

The first thing the sea took was a pair of sunglasses. They weren’t mine, but they were in my pocket. I noticed they were missing while looking for a shallow spot to lay down and soak up some rays. A few minutes of searching brought them back to me. They were lying on the sand under 3 feet of water.

Having found some success with the sunglasses, the sea took another stab at pulling me, or something on me, back into the ocean. The second time around, the sea took a whistle clipped to the laces of my trunks. I don’t know how it managed to untie the knot on the board shorts I was wearing - all I know is that I looked down and saw the laces dangling free. No whistle nor carabiner was attached. These I found some 20 yards away.

Having been foiled twice, the sea tried again. The third time, in this case, was a charm. I didn’t notice it - not until it was too late. The sea had somehow taken me. I hit the showers before I realized that one of my dog tags had gone missing - probably lost at sea forever.

If anybody ever finds that tag where it came off, they will wonder how and idiot with my name managed to drown in 3 feet of water. If it gets pulled further away to sea, perhaps some divers will find it. If it washes up on shore, maybe it will bake under the sun until some kid picks it up. More likely, it will stay lost.

The sea didn’t get my other toys, but it managed to get my name, date of birth and blood type. It got my phone number too, as well as my brother’s. I guess, if that tag is ever found, I’ll be considered lost at sea.

Yeah, right.

A stampede in ULTRA earlier today left at least 73 dead and 322 injured. Some 20,000 people, many of whom had camped out for days, were waiting to enter the stadium when rumors of a bomb threat incited panic. Authorities later concluded that the bomb threat was not real, but a prank pulled by somebody trying to get into the stadium sooner.

Impatient idiot, or idiots, whatever the case may be - I almost wish that person were trampled in that stampede. In a 20,000 strong mob, tracking the moron who cried wolf is pretty much impossible. The only possible consolation, at least in my head, is the possibility that that idiot’s face is now pretty much unrecognizable. That would be poetic justice - probably the only justice that might come out of this tragedy. I don’t particularly like the idea of wishing anybody harm, but this person just might deserve it.

No, I doubt there was real malice, but somebody that idiotic deserves… I don’t know. I’m just at a loss for words.

All I have in my head now are these words from Men in Black: “A ‘person’ is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.” In this case, one person thought he was being smart. I’m sure at least 300 people will beg to differ.

Some time ago, I posed some random questions here. I’m at it again… exercising my brain cells some more. Again, indulge me, please.
For those who’ve answered before, please indulge me again… your answers were deleted when I changed my comments system. Sorry.
