Hi there everybody! 
I've had my license since February of 2008 myself and let me tell you: there are some CRAZY people behind the wheel! (And I don't mean in the good way. =_=;)
So here's the deal: this world is speciffically meant to relate to all what driving in the real world is really like. (And to share some of the oddities I find. 
) There will be some rantings and there may even be some anime references, but this world will mostely show people, almost anything seen on the side of the road, and (hopefully for anyone paying attention) what NOT to do while in traffic.
For those of you who want to share some of your own experiences, just give me a PM and that's that! If you're not from the US and still want to add a post or two, that's perfectly acceptable too! (Personally, I'd like to hear a few stories to see if the mentality of drivers changes with the country.)
Here's a few things I'd like to clear up right now:
- I live in South Texas
- I generally judge distance by how long it takes me to get there, rather than by actual measurements
- I don't claim to be an expert on driving, I'm just making sure that I can stay alive when traveling from point A to point B
- In a normal week, I total about an hour and a half of driving time per work day (the brunt of it being in rush-hour traffic >_<)
- & I drive a big ol' Chevy pick-up truck (in theory you can't miss it, but if that were the case then I wouldn't be making this world, now would I?)
Enjoy!

Okay, first off, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year
Second off, I'd like to say just how much I HATE it too.
I worked New Years at my first job... the one with the crazy drivers trying to get into the parking lot one. I go in at two and it's not to bad. I work, and work, and I get moved a couple times to other stores, but no big deal. Well, New Years hit and fire crackers and yay and celebration. Then people decided to spend an hour buying things. I was supposed to leave by midnight and didn't get out until about one-thirty. Then I had to drive home to let my dogs out, which wouldn't have been bad if I could ahve put my exhausted behind into bed and gone to sleep after. But NOO I had to drive all the way across town to my aunts and let her dogs out before I could go to sleep in her room. And I had to drive to work from her house this afternoon. Talk about fun! *sarcasm*
Anyways, it's late, so I'm headed to bed now.
Ciao.
Hey all, I know it's been like... days since I last said anything, but I'm fighting off either a cold, bronchitis, or pneumonia. I REALLY hope it's not that last one, but I can hear the rattling in my chest when I breath so... ugh!
Anyways, so I have a new JOB. It's in the opposite direction of how I normally get to work on a busier street. Joy! 
So yeah, I'll probably be complaining about how crappy the new drive to work is on the weekends. Wish me luck!
This post is going to be really short, but I felt like posting it up anyway:
While I was on the road earlier today I saw a Ford F150 with a license plate that read "KIMCHI." I found that a little strange myself. But then again, who am I to judge for having a teddy bear named "Chocolate Milk?" TTwTT
I didn't find out about it until today, but I quiz that I developed on driving got published! ^____^
I actually submitted it weeks ago, but I didn't want to post anything about it because I didn't want to get my hopes up. Now that I know that it's "mission accomplished," I'm now wearing this huge grin on my face and am about to celebrate by kicking monster butt on Suikoden V.
If you're interested in the quiz, here's a nice little link to get you there:

Until next time! ^_^
I'll keep this post short and sweet (even if it's a little late ^^; ):
