Annoying Driving Habits

Yeah- I like to post a lot of things that bother me... or it kind of sounds like complaining..haha.  Maybe it's my attempt to create a world that caters to me.  How selfish of me!  Well, here's my list of things that bug me when I'm on the road: 1. People cutting into your lane right before the exit off ramp . This especially annoys me when they have all the time in the world to get into that lane, and then for some reason, they HAVE TO go in front of you just to exit when there's absolutely no cars behind me.  I don't get it.  I guess it goes along with the phrase I like to use when driving- "everyone always has to be first."  I am convinced that at least 75% of drivers always has to be first in line, which leads to my next one: 2.  Impatience at a red light, at your expense . When I'm the only car at a red light, and there's a few lanes going straight, there's always the car that eventually makes it to the red light that's in the sa

small helpful item

Another little cheap thing I've found.. If you're into lotions and all those things without the chemicals, a simple and cheap solution is going to Target where the travel products are.. and find a little jar of Vaseline.  Use that as lotion.. for only a little over $1.  And to me personally, it actually feels better than using lotions.  Maybe petroleum jelly is better..?

From 9/29/12 Why the number 35? Here's why..   Since I was a child, I always wanted to have a favorite number.  I wanted a number that had a meaning or significance behind it.  But I never really had any number to consider because I wanted to have a unique number.  The number 3 would be an easy one because I'm a third child, or the number 6 because it's the day of my birthday.  Too common of a thing.. It wasn't until, high school or college (can't remember exactly) when I gave in to a "common" reason for having a favorite number.  I went with sports athletes. So who may have worn the wonderful number of 35 you may ask? Right around that time is when I starting playing ice hockey, and I realized that I loved to play the position of goalie.  Yes, people say you have to be crazy to play goalie, so go ahead, call me crazy!  I love it!  Well, at that time, the San Jose Sharks goalie was Evgeni Nabokov, so naturally, he is who I love to watch, an

From 10/1/12 You know how there's always those little small things in the day that bother you, but by the end of the day, you totally forget what they are?  Well, I'm going to attempt to capture those little bothers..  Let's see what we come up with!   -web browsers: They seem enjoy causing problems with inconsistencies.   Chrome- I edit an email one way, but once it gets sent, it totally formats it another way.  It was what I always used cause it seemed to be fastest, but the editing and everything must have been skipped in trying to make it faster. Firefox- Too many updates!  It seems like almost once a week, there's update that causes you to just sit there for a few minutes.. updating... updating.. Internet Explorer- May be my go-to browser.  I know in the past, it's been a lot slower and there was too many extra features which slowed it down.   -technology: If there's anything that's ever proven itself unreliable, it would be techno

From 11/2/12 In 2010, when the Giants won the world series, I was on a cruise to Mexico.  It was great because there were a good amount of Giants fans gathered in a lounge room, and actually there were Giants fans scattered all throughout the ship watching on different television sets.  But for me and my group of friends, we were in a lounge, floating on the Pacific Ocean.  There was an excitement in the ocean air and sure enough, the Giants won that clinching game and we celebrated on the ship.  It was a great moment!  We celebrated on a ship in the Pacific Ocean, heading away from the country which where the World Series was held.   In 2012, when the Giants won the world series, I was able to watch up to the 9th inning at home.  I was hoping the game would have ended by the 9th because I knew I had a hockey game at night.  Just my luck, the game was tied after the 9th and I had to take off to Oakland to get ready for my game.  As I was listening to the 10th in the car, of cour

From 11/7/12 Shopping at the Dollar Tree (the store with the green tree).  It's convenient and nice if you can find the right things.  So far, the worst things in the Dollar Trees are the always seemingly long lines, which I really don't understand because isnt' everything a dollar?  Are people asking for price checks on items?!  Anyways, I know items sold aren't exactly the best quality by far, but there's still some items that can be of some use.  Here's my list of those things..   -duct tape You may not get a lot from a roll sold at a dollar store, but if you just need some for a quick fix, go here.  It's a little thinner than most popular brands, but especially for things like art projects or something not heavy duty, dollar store is your place!   -safety goggles Believe it or not, the dollar store cares about your eyeballs!  For simple protection this litle piece of plastic will at least protect your eyes from paint, water, or other non-

Things That Bug Me...

What are some things that bug me?.. 1. When people add the phrase "may or may not" or "can or can not". For example, when someone says.. "Thanks for the invite to the party! I may or may not make it."  That doesn't help explain anything at all! 2. My terrible memory.  Why can't I remember things.. sometimes.   3. I can't remember what #3 was...
