\"FeelingYourselfExplode\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These days, we\u2019re all mad as hell at the world.\u00a0 There is too much going on, and we just can\u2019t take it anymore.\u00a0 We\u2019re about to explode, if someone doesn\u2019t give us a chance to vent, but now there is a new spin roaring across The O\u2019Reilly Factor called the \u201cMad as Hell\u201d segment.\u00a0 And Mr. Bill O\u2019Reilly is listening, and we\u2019re venting, steamrolling away to release our angst.\u00a0 But can we find comfort afterward in a world still consumed by such chaos for chaos still reigns, and we still find ourselves victim to the idiocracy that goes on today\u2026<\/p>\n

3. Wrong Maniacal Driver (WMD)<\/b><\/p>\n

My mother was going in for heart surgery today.\u00a0 The plan was to go to work early and leave early.\u00a0 This way, I could be home and by the phone, awaiting the news of the surgery and her recovery.\u00a0 I was halfway there, stopping at a bright yellow YIELD sign, and allowing the four cars in the oncoming traffic lane to either turn past me or continue straight.\u00a0 And then, SLAM.\u00a0 I found myself on the side of the road, wondering what the hell just happened, and then I saw the car behind me, realizing that this idiot just hit me.\u00a0 And he asked if I was okay, but the real punch line was that it wasn\u2019t even his car.\u00a0 And when asked for identification and insurance, he merely blinked.\u00a0 I doubt that he even tried the cops on his cell, but I did, realizing that we were in a no zone area.\u00a0 Luckily, I got the license plate number, and I drove to the trooper barracks afterward to grab a copy of the civilian accident report.\u00a0 All this because he had the need for speed, but he was just another wrong maniacal driver, a WMD.<\/p>\n

2. Totally Negligent Thugs (TNT)<\/b><\/p>\n

I used to like driving around town until I realized how many people were trying to kiss my ass or bumper.\u00a0 If they weren\u2019t brushing their lips against mine, they were dancing across the yellow double line, and sometimes, you would think that we were acting out a scene from the movie, \u2018The Fast and The Furious.\u2019\u00a0 But no, that was Extreme P as his black truck peeled out of a small parking lot the minute that traffic light flashed green, and he spun around the turn with his metal wheelbarrow flying out of the back of his truck.\u00a0 And I\u2019m the poor schmuck in the turning lane that got nailed on the left-hand side of my car.\u00a0 As I\u2019m recovering from that idiocracy, a Good Samaritan runs out into the busy roadway to retrieve the metal wheelbarrow and then proceeds to call the driver back to the scene.\u00a0 I park in that lot, examine my car, and then watch the nimrods return to retrieve the metal wheelbarrow and leave.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t like I was just in a car accident, but I was astounded at their extreme audacity.\u00a0 But I guess that they are really totally negligent thugs (TNT).<\/p>\n

1. Nasty A-Holes (NA)<\/b><\/p>\n

I love movies especially futuristic movies, the What Ifs of mankind.\u00a0 What would be our downfall?\u00a0 Our need for speed?\u00a0 Our lack of intelligence?\u00a0 We are our own worst enemy, and when we fall, we should not be surprised.\u00a0 We\u2019re already falling, if you take a good look at this world.\u00a0 We\u2019re on a meltdown, and mankind is extremely flawed.\u00a0 And if you see a Good Samaritan, don\u2019t take it for granted because we\u2019re really out for ourselves, looking to better our own interests and do what we have to do to survive, and some people are just plain nasty a-holes, taking advantage of those that they believe they could manipulate.\u00a0 But one mistake, and the game is over.\u00a0 I caught you.\u00a0 The moment you charged my credit card, the gig was up, and your lies and manipulation don\u2019t cut it anymore.\u00a0 The fact that you took advantage of a disabled individual, charging his account with a membership that he never signed up for, and then saving my credit card on file and putting it under his name was the last straw, and I\u2019ve got your number now.\u00a0 And we won\u2019t do business with you ever again, so think on that as this world comes to a crashing end.\u00a0 But they do say that cockroaches could even survive a Nuclear Armageddon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
