Q&A: It’s been awhile. Let’s see, I have been asked which animal would I choose to be. Since the Rage is not classified as animal, I can’t use him but you know he would be my first choice. If I had to choose I would say a Rhino. Can you imagine anything bigger and badder than a pissed off Rhino, I wouldn’t want to find out. I thought about being a shark of course, but if someone would have fed Echo to me….ewww. Rhino, that’s my story and I’m sticking with it. Saying that, I just watched a special on Nat Geo Wild and the honey badger is also a bad mofo! I might have to give this more thought.
I had probably the best weekend I have had in close to a decade. My heart was full of love, I see signs of spring all around me and I was just happy. That was until Romeo came along and fucked it all up. I was on a mission before she came along and for me to change focus like that, it takes some doing. Let me explain what creating your own personal suicide plan looks like. Find the Rage and be a dick. That’s pretty much all it takes and you are on your way to the darkness, stopping along the way to visit pain and misery of course. They love company.
My impatience in the car is always there, but when I am on a mission, it’s 10 times worse. I was trying to get somewhere this afternoon and I had already driven most of the day so I was ready to let the Rage out anyway. We have already established that using electronics while driving is a definite no no, but what about other distractions? It really doesn’t matter what the cause, if you lose your focus on driving properly someone may die and that someone may be you. I saw a lady today that put not only everyone on the road, but herself and her two kids in jeopardy as she was paying more attention to them in the back seat than everyone on the road in front of her. Or the stop light in front of her which was what caught our attention. It turned green and everyone else started forward but she was too busy turned half way in the back seat swatting at her kids. I bumped the horn to let her know I wouldn’t mind actually leaving the light today and she ignored me. That’s one way to play it I guess. I hit my surveillance gear and decided a side trip was in order.
We barely made it through the light before it changed again. I followed her for about 10 minutes and she pulled into a grocery store. Perfect. If you want to observe what kind of parent a person is, watch them in public with their bratty kids and see how they react. I already had suspicions due to Romeo’s stellar performance on the road but I followed nonetheless. Ironic that Romeo is a girl but get over it, it’s the next name on my phonetic alphabet list.
It only took to the 2nd aisle they walked down before she hauled off and slapped one of the kids across the face. I turned around and left the store before the Rage could voice his displeasure. We will be letting her know we didn’t appreciate that.
