my drive to work this morning

And what a drive it was - it seemed like every nincompoop in the South Bay conspired to create obstacles for me by virtue of their idiotic driving - Driving at 40mph in a 50mph zone is not only stupid, its nerve-wracking - I always turn to look at the person who drives badly, once I get a chance to drive by them, and ahead of them - they usually have a zombie-like expression on their faces, as if oblivious to the fact that there are other cars on the road - they also look nonchalent as if to tell me that even if they were not oblivious, that they dont really care. But the one remarkable fact is that they almost never, ever turn to look at me - so my angry glares go unnoticed and unappreciated - I have this theory that if you stare at someone long enough, eventually, something makes them sense it, (perhaps its just peripheral vision), but whatever it is, they usually turn to look at you - not these idiots - they look straight ahead - its almost spooky - as if they've been programmed or something...

It was an ordeal, my friends, especially this one guy who was driving at 40mph, and stopped prematurely at every traffic light - once he did stop, then he kept creeping up on the guy in front of him, until the light turned green - and once it did, he then charged forth to end up at 40mph again!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the others were either Chinese men or Indians - I dislike stereotyping in general, but there's something to be said about people driving Toyota Corollas and Honda Accords - I dont know which way this works - is it that the cars incite their drivers to drive so gingerly, or is that so called "safe" drivers pick these cars? You tell me...

For now, I have to get back to preparing for my midterm..
