So on my way home from work yesterday I was riding my bike past an older man who'd been drafted to hold a sign in front of his business. As I approached, the man called out to me the following puzzling phrase ( Read more... )

Wowee! I was watching this video from Police Women of Broward County and there's this guy who was riding his bike around like he just can't be hurt. Riding against traffic ON THE STREET on a major highway. While holding a cell phone in one hand. Going through red lights, getting honked at, etc. My mom always did say that some young people ( Read more... )

Attacking the character instead of the content ( Read more... )

I've kept a daily journal for approximately a third of my life. I'm reading over some of the entries in order to assist me in reconstructing the most recent parts of my autobiography (as I'm writing it), and I just came across this annoying thing ( Read more... )

While on my way to visit my mom the other day, I was riding my bike and some people in a passing truck called something at me out the window. Of course, I couldn't be sure they were talking to me, but it felt like it was directed at me, and furthermore it didn't feel nice.
