Every Time I Die - "Kill the Music"


Just the video/song that typifies my day so far. Not because of the title or lyrics, but because they are playing Webster Hall November 3rd here in NYC and depending on my mood, I may partake in some screaming.

Crosswalks

  Once used to keep pedestrians safe while crossing the street, they are often times overlooked nowadays.  Just this morning on my way to work, I nearly ran over a vagrant trying to cross Broadway - he decided it was a good idea to cross immediately after a bus passed him in the left lane.  The bus set a screen for me, and this schmuck kept on going.  I had to slam on my breaks, yelled a few choice words, and continued on my way to work.

  This is definitely not an isolated incident - this type of shit happens all the time.  And some people have the balls to just take a leisurely stroll across instead of running.  Hey, shit for brains, there are still crosswalks painted, and they even give you a white, lit-up walking man to remind you it's safe to walk (and a red l it-up "STOP" hand to tell you not to walk).  Sometimes I think the NYC educational system is totally off and really doesn't teach these morons a thing about real life.  Teach a "NYC Basics" class - walking and crossing streets, driving, subway riding tips, how to use words properly.  This would be more beneficial that the shit these kids learn.  "I is" or "I's" is one I hear all the time when I am walking around the area.  Unreal.

  I am in a no bullshit mood today.
