I've got a new years resolution...I think I know what I've gotta do

Welcome to 2009!! A year surely to be filled with much change. Ringing in 09 means we will soon be ringing in graduation from dear old camp champ...scary. And so here we are...headed for the future. I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with absolutely no clue what I'm doing. I'm hoping for an epiphany at some point in the coming months about just what the hell I will do come June...until that day comes, I'll try not to worry. That being said, 09 was hailed in with the best of the best in my book. I drove up to Burlington yesterday and back to Yarmouth today...10 hours of driving in 30 hours was completely 100% WORTH IT. I freaking adore my friends. I missed them so much and will continue to do so until I am back for good next week. It was just such a good feeling, I love that I've built myself a litle family and home up there. It's very comforting to feel such a sense of belonging. I hope 2009 brings ample amounts of happiness, prosperity, success, and of course laughter to all of the people I love :)

On another note, with all of the driving I've been doing (and will continue all the way to NC and then from yarmouth back to burlington once more) I;ve decided I am going to write up a manual for dumbass drivers. AKA common sense skill that most people should posess...yet evidently do not. Here it goes

MANUAL FOR DRIVING

1) If you are going slow enough to have caused a back up of 3 or more cars, pull the ever loving fuck over and let the train pass you.

2) If you are already a slow driver, there is no need to push your last ounce of energy into stepping on the gas in order to jet yourself in front of cars when entering the road. Believe it or not, you can wait 20 more seconds and get in the back of the damn line where you belong.

3) When driving on the highway, there is no need to speed up and pass me when in 10 more feet you will be stuck behind another car...theres no where to go jackass.

4) If you are in the passing lane...fucking goooooooooooooooo.

5) Do not. Fuck up. My cruise control.

6) You know those lovely truck passing lanes they interject every once in awhile? If you've been going slow since the last one, how bout you stay at that speed and get the shit out of my way, that is not the appropriate time to speed up if its the only time you are planning to do so.


APPENDIX A: New England and/or frequent drivers in winter

1) After small snow storms or "dustings", you will see that there are usually wide track marks from other cars and that driving in said tracks leads to no distruption for cars behind you. However, when you do decide to drive like the jackass that you are and go directly in the lines of snow, giant whirls of white go directly to the person behind you. Stop being an idiot.

APPENDIX B: Vermont Drivers

1) For the love of god, take that god forsaken VT, or ILOVERMONT, sticker OFF OF YOUR CAR. You have giant fucking green license plates, we KNOW you are from there, and can assume that if you live there, you probably love it. So for christ sake, if you really love that sticker THAT MUCH, fucking move so you don't look like such a total and utter jackass.
