Living here in OK is just a turnpike away from getting where ya need o go. You always have a choice.. You can take the free road or you can shave an hour or more off your trip by paying for the faster rout.

This isn’t a totally bad thing. Expecially if you have lived her you entire life… You get used to it ya know?

My problem with it all is a few times when I pull up to the toll gate and throw my change into the little bucket nothing happens. Hmmm? Maybe I didn’t count it right…So I grab some more and throw that in too.

The light stays RED. What the heck? I look over at the booth with the worker and they are working away… Not looking at me.

“HEY!  I’m outta change here… I put plenty in and the light won’t turn green…Wassup”?

No answer… Just a sullan look my way and then back to work….

So…. I just drive on through anyways…  DING DING DING DING. There goes the alarm… I keep driving looking for police to pull me over.

This has happened at least 3 times on different turnpikes. If they are going to have those things then perhaps they should step up the maintenance on the equipment.

I can hardly wait till the ticket comes in the mail from when they took a picture of my license tag.

Internet Surfing Addiction

Well here we are surfing the internet with nothing to do.  So much information and we sit and do it for hours.

My addictive personality confirms that when I get into something I can’t quit and just keep on going and going and going. Like the engergizer bunny.

My house is a wreck from all of the addiction I submitted myself to lately. I went ahead, despite my knowing better and just did what felt good or the moment… It was a mistake.

Now, of course I simply traded one addiction for another… Playing on Facebook, dating sites, news sites and blogs…

The internet is a hard on relationships… Or good.. Depends on how you look at.  I have met many great people on the internet.  Others that were great, after getting together it seemed the internet was a tool to ruin us. Go figure?

There are certainly worse things this hipster could do than sit in front of the screen 4 to 6 hours running talking to people.  But how constructive is the conversation anyways… Is it for good, or bad? What are the motives?

Wow, I’m certainly asking myself a lot of questions today…And as a friend points out… I already know the answers… Ha ha…

Glad ya surfed on by… Keep coming back!
