My rant thread

I frequently begin to start one, but I talk myself out of it quickly most of the time. Sometimes, I type a real juicy post, only to come to my senses before hitting the Submit button.

Life is short. Its good. Really good. Things could be a lot worse. I'm thankful for everything that I have in my life.

End of rant

Motion lives a very sad life. A trailer park in getto, no cars, no motorcycle, no women.

Just his bottle and tall tales of Montana, Blondes, Porsche, flying 1st class and old motorcycles.

If we could turn rants into plants the World would be a greener place.

Just to add to his list of tall tales that he says the 911 and drivers are superior to the supposed lesser Porsche cars and brethren.

He should redeem himself with some witty clever sayings from Asia. Have you got any Motion?

Cheers, from this rant free Guy.

All you happy-happy-joy-joy people make me sick. Here are my rants from my commute this morning:

I have a loaner car while my Ford is being serviced. Loaner is a Ford Focus with the dreaded Sync system. I can't pair my iPhone with the car because the Sync screen doesn't display the 6-digit PIN I need to enter on my phone. And having a screaming match with Sync's interactive audio system doesn't help!

To the Prius driver on Rt. 287 North in Franklin Lakes: I commend you for your diligence and false sense of "I'm saving the world one hybrid at a time" mentality, and the fact that you have the ability to drive exactly 5 mph below the posted speed limit. But can you kindly do all that smug feel-good hug-a-tree stuff from over there in the SLOW lane? That way, the seven cars that have stacked up behind you (including the guy in the Ford Focus screaming obscenities at the steering wheel) can actually get to work and do productive stuff...

To those who may struggle with grumpiness, may I offer the following:
Quote:
Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are singing in the crisp, cool mountain air.

Nothing can bother you here.

No one knows this secret place.

You are in total seclusion from that place called the world.

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

The water is clear.

You can easily make out the face of the jerk whose head you're holding under the water.

There now, feeling better?
Now, have a nice day, and GET OFF MY LAWN!

Rants are really a first world phenomenon.

I was ready to give up driving last night on my way home from work. Some tool in a semi-truck tailgated me within 2 car lengths for 10 miles (I'm doing 60 in a 55 zone) and nearly spun me out when I let off the gas and turned my turn signal on to turn onto my road........30 seconds later, some dickhead in a Durango passed me at 70 mph WHILE I was pulling left into my driveway with my signal on. I just hope that his wife in the passenger seat was chewing on him like my wife would have if I pulled a stupid stunt like that. RANT OVER !
