Thoughts on Delegate David B. Albo

Life, Randomness

Fuck David B. Albo , Fuck Him right in the Ass!

Delegate David B. Albo introduces us to the $3000 speeding ticket

WTF! He slipped this new law that increases all the fines for traffic offenses in Virginia 10 fold. Did he think that we wouldn’t notice when the $75 failure to signal ticket now comes with an extra $750 fine. Oh but it’s payable in installments for 2 years, ohhh thanks a lot ASSHOLE! I understand that you need money for transpaoration projects around virginia, we do have the 2nd worst traffic in the entire country, but do you need 10 times the money???

What else is also convienent is that Albo is, what’s that… A TRAFFIC ATTORNEY. Why wouldn’t I hire an attorney at say $600 to fight my ticket which will cost me at least $1000. There was no reason to hire one before when the ticket was only $75 or $250 or anything else under the cost of a lawyer unless you faced the prospect of losing your liscense. Good job Albo, somehow in the name of helping Virginia you’ve created major business for all your lawyer buddies.

Another thing I noticed while reading through the list of offenses is that there is no fine for the first offense of refusing to take a breathalizer or Blood test. I’m not sure what the fine for that is anyway, but it has to be less than 3 easy payments of $750 for failing a Breathalizer.

If I get one speeding ticket under this law it’s an additional $1050 fine. That’s like 3 months of car payments with insurance. I might as well sell my car because I can not afford this. Maybe I’ll move to Maryland… because this fine only affects Virginia drivers.

So in conclusion, Fuck him and his crazy law.

So pissed off!

Weekend Project! Frankenfridge is alive.
I Spent Saturday painting this, I tried to get it done in one day so I wouldn’t run out of motivation. It took 3 cans of charcoal grey, 2 cans of army green and a half can of black for the lines.

We moved it to the deck on sunday and bobby cleaned it out the rest of the way. My pointer finger and thumb are still numb from holding down the spray nozzle. I could never be a graffitti artist! Also at one point I almost took a sip from a can of black paint ( I forgot which hand I was holding my drink in, I remembered when I spilled black paint on my face.)

But I think the project was a great success!

Later!

It's not the Beer… well not just the beer anyway.

Life, Randomness

For about the last year I’ve had NFL quarterback stats. Specifically Ben Roethlisberger 6’5″ 235lbs. We’re like exactly the same… well he may be in a little bit better shape… well, a lot better… whatever.

I stepped on the scale at Laurel’s brother’s house in WVA and the gravity must be heaver out there because it said that I was approaching 250. So when I got back home I used my scale and confirmed it. I weight 246lbs.

I AM AN EIGHTH TON MAN UNIT.

The thing is I don’t have a beer belly, I’m gaining mass in all places at once. It’s like my entire front side is extending outward. It dosen’t feel very healthy.  Of course my mother will blame it on me drinking too much beer, which probably dosen’t help. But I think I’ve found another culprit, Starbucks scones. I guess I should have figured this out before, but the blueberry scone has 300 calories and 20 grams of fat… and I eat one 5 days a week.

So the new plan is….

  1. Cut down on weekly beer intake.
  2. Eat oatmeal or bagel for breakfast.
  3. Play basketball with Q, Travis, and Nigel twice a week.
  4. Don’t be fat.

I’ll keep you updated, Internet.

Later!

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunder CATS!

Entertainment, Movies

Preach it brother!

No more will the youth of the 80’s have to sit through horrible 70’s tv shows made into feature length movies. Now we will have our own crappy remake movies to complain about. The 80’s revival continues!

ThunderCats are Coming!

You can’t tell me you don’t get a little excited… but unfortunatley they are cat people. So this could come off looking like Andrew Lloyd Webber does He-Man. But there is a slight chance this won’t suck!

Later!

Women in long black wool coats

Life, Women

I don’t know what it is, but the fitted long black coat is so hot on a woman. It seems like Arlington is the place they all hang out. On my way home from work I must see ten of them. All looking hot and sophisticated, somewhere to go, something to do. Also you don’t even have to be skinny for this to be a good look, the coat is all about hiding what you’ve got too much of. Unfortunatley Spring will eventually come and ruin all the fun, but maybe I will have picked up one of these mystical creatures by then.

The rare black minivan and other not so interesting things about this morning.

Life, Randomness

On the way into work this mornnig I was behind the rarest of things, a black minivan. You don’t see many in that color, most come in the suburbanite hunter green variety. Another rarity on this vehicle was the flambouyant gold package. I don’t know why I was so intrested in this thing, I think it’s the fact that minivans are mostly being replaced by the SUV and I really have fond menories of the ol’ road slugs. Another good thing about this morning… Banannas and Cream oatmeal. I had been avoiding the yellow packet in the variety package in my desk for a few days now. But I thought I might as well get it out of the way so I could go back to enjoying strawberry and blueberry goodness. But this is good, cleaning the bowl good, and thinking about seconds good. Well first hour of the day down, I think it’s time I do some work.
