Things I've decided.

[Klostrophobic]

• Generally speaking, Canada seems like a pretty nice country despite the fact that all of the citizens watch hockey and drink Molson Ice. I mean, they did produce Rush and Celine Dion, so I can't give them a hard time.
• I'd much rather sit on my ass for 6 hours than go into work.
• Some of you people are weird, and some of you are weirder. And then some of you people are MistaX.
• I haven't begun to hate the winter, even though as a young child I was told by my elders that I would hate it as I got older.
• I'm sufficiently happy with my life, even if it could be exponentially better with just simple adjustments. I can live with this, and you can too.
• Going to a community college is odd. I feel like I learned most of the material years ago. Especially in my Intro to Computers class, where I'm almost positive that my instructor is a lab monkey who was taught remedial computer skills by another slightly more intelligent monkey.
• I don't like bad drivers and I dislike the fact that they have all decided to congregate in the general vicinity of my car. I would much prefer it if they would just pull over to the side of the road and allow everyone else to pass unimpeded by stupidity and overall ineptitude.
• I don't eat enough fruits, vegetables, or food. I am going to rectify this and the Boston Marathon Commission is going to hear about it. Or not; I haven't actually decided that part yet.
• I procrastinate too much and I will not change this. The eleventh hour is the worst hour ever, but the other ten hours make up for it.
• I am too reserved in public areas and this should probably change. Tomorrow seems like a good place to start.
• I'm much too nice of a person, and I work too hard to allow people to take advantage of this fact. I don't know if I can change this, but it would be great if I could. Kicking ass and taking names sounds like an excellent approach.
• If someone else wrote all this I would come in here and write a snappy comment that had nothing to do with the actual thread. I encourage you all to do the same, because I've noticed a severe lack of content and generally enjoyable posts/threads here. I don't know what the deal is, but the entire front page of the Rumble Strip is covered with goofy threads about wishes and desktops and birthdays and copy-and-pasted nothings and saying nice things about the person who preceded you and other various drivel. I don't know if this thread helps or hurts that, but we shall see.

Your turn.

Dangit, if I were at home I could scan you the perfect Dilbert comic for this comment.

I’ve decided that you’re a nut for not hating New England winters. Now that I live in San Diego, I’m going to have almost no winter to speak of, thus making me happy.

I’ve also decided to sell my soul for a Ralph’s Club Card. I cry.

 

[a6m5]

I agree with the elders. Older I get, sicker I am of crappy weather.

Oregon weather went crap about a week ago. But all of the sudden, we are supposed to get 80 degree weather for one more week or so, starting tomorrow. Things like that makes me really happy, because I'm old.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Well, while I don't dislike the New England winters, I wouldn't mind living in San Diego either. I'm just not all that picky when it comes to weather. I don't get these other people who get all fussed about the weather.

"Oh, no! It's raining, I better do this half-run, half-walk thing and hold a book or something over my head so I don't get a couple drops of water on me and potentially melt."

Or the people who get all worked up about having to shovel.

It's friggin' water, people.

I've also decided that I absolutely loathe people who go to Cape Cod every weekened. Every Friday there is a mass exodus to Cape Cod. I've been to Cape Cod and it's not especially nice. There is nothing to do. These people drive for 5 hours to Cape Cod and then 5 hours getting back in stupid traffic. If you love beaches so much, move to San Diego so you aren't in my way clogging up Route 3 for 4 hours.

The odd thing about that computer class is that a couple of the other students are all flabbergasted--"You're going too fast". Hello, people, he's showing you how to make text bold and how to input numbers into an excel field. Too fast? God. If I don't have a 4.0 by the time I'm out of there, I may as well blow my brains out.

Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure I need to start investing some of my money somehow. I'd like to give the 'ol stock market a try, but I don't know where to begin. I just got a book about the bare basics and how it works and yada yada yada. I predict I'll either be a millionaire in 5 years or I'll have lost all of my money and be filing for bankruptcy. Lately I've been working a motherload of hours and I don't really want to be one of these people who works 75 hours a week every week for the next 50 years. It's time to make my money work for me, as the old cliche goes.

Yeah GTP's losts it's funnyness recently.

And also you will get suck ups posting in your thread because they want to fit in with you and the other 'OG' members of GTP who will no doubt post in this thread considering you've been dormant on GTP for about 24 years and you are just such a funny guy.

Also I've decided that hate too many things. Maybe it's because I'm too nice and I'm now seeing the un-nice side of things but in general I'm just a hater.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Pssh, I've been on hiatus. I'm a newbie and no one who has registered in the last year has talked to me here, so that's not a problem. Plus, I'm an ass.

It's not so much funniness, it's that the content is lacking for whatever reason. I don't know what the deal is. Not everything needs to be based in humor; I just want content and I don't want to provide it. I'm a taker, god damn it.

Yes, quite.

I've also decided that John Bergin is huge, like mega huge.

I gotta comment on the "bad driver" ..... comment, before I go to bed.

I'm a reasonably fast driver. Like on the freeway, I'd like to go 5-10mph over the "posted speed ". If there is a slow driver in the fast/left lane, I would follow close, but not tailgate. When this slow person declines to move out of the way when there is plenty of space to move over in the slow/right lane, I sometimes pass from the right. As I pass them, I'm thinking "did you get your license from a cracker jack box or something?". But they are probably thinking I'm a crazy driver, because I'm freaking out when they are during the speed limit(again, personally, I like to refer to them as the "posted speed").

I have million examples like these that leads me to believe that everyone can be seen as a bad driver from certain point of views.

I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'm gonna go. Have a nice evening.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Is it poor driving to pass on the right? I generally try not to, but if I'm in the right lane and I'm going 70, while people in the middle lane are going 60, is that bad?

There is this one hotspot right near my exit on Route 3 North where it's about mile from where it turns into 93 North where I swear to god there is some sort of forcefield that causes every car to slow down 20 MPH. Even when there is no traffic at all. I'll be going about 65 or maybe 70 and there is minimal traffic where everyone else is going at least 60, then I get over into the right lane so I can get off my exit and there is always a guy there going like 50. And then he doesn't put on his directional or get over at all until the last possible moment when he steers right. Happens every time.

Speaking of which, why don't people get over to the right when they exit? I hug the white line on the right whenever I exit so that people behind me can continue unimpeded as I slow down. It's so bizarre; it's like they don't have any awareness of where they are or something.

I constantly critique my own driving and yell at myself when I do something stupid, such as not using a directional or getting in someone's way/blocking an intersection. I like to think that I'm a good, safe, effective and efficient driver. I really hate people who sit at red lights and block entrances to parking lots. Get the hell out of the way--can't you see these people in the parking lot want to get out and there may potentially be people on the other side of the road who want to get into said parking lot?

 

[Midnight Runner]

I've decided that I'll hire a Voodoo which,for purposes of making every Enthusia fan,especally 🤬, suddenly start to scream " I am a Jelly Fish! Super Tyto Dorifto! Number One! ".and then get really bad diarrhea every time they mention,or try playing Enthusia.

I also decided that I'll become an adult movies director. I already have all I need.

I've decided to try an new extreme sport one day: tieing a rope around my privates and jump from tree. I heard it's fun.

I've decided to not think about Margaret Thacher when I...you know what.

I've decided to throw my VW Golf Mk V from a cliff,say "OH SNAP! German engineiring in da hauz",and walk away happily.

I've decided to quit smoking.I'll drink beer instead.

I've decided that this post is soo lame it is stupid.

 

[Gen.]

I PLAY ENTHUSIA LONG TIME.

Um. John Bergin is huge.

 

[Blake]

Is it poor driving to pass on the right?

Not in Australia. I’m only supposed to do 90kph on the freeway (due my current class of license), but I’m increasingly finding myself doing the posted speed (110kph) or higher. And with that, I’m finding that too many people drive too slowly, and in the wrong lane.

I am always in the very left hand lane (slow) no matter how fast I am going, unless I’m overtaking someone. If everyone did this I think traffic would flow a lot smoother.

I constantly critique my own driving and yell at myself when I do something stupid, such as not using a directional or getting in someone's way/blocking an intersection. I like to think that I'm a good, safe, effective and efficient driver.

Ditto. I rarely do anything silly, but when I do I really know it and feel very stupid about it. And I often think other people should be slapped in the face with a giant fish. Maybe a whale.

 

[TVRKing]

I've decided to not think about Margaret Thacher when I...you know what.

Maggie Thatcher?

Pah!

Anne Widdecombe = teh hawtness.

 

[Der Alta]

• One day, I will meet Klos and buy him a beer.
• No matter how much money you make, she will spend it.
• There are times in life where you have to kick ass and take name, and vice versa.
• You should always have a back-up plan to whatever you do. With only a few minor exceptions. In those exceptions, you simply need to have an escape route/path planned.
• God does indeed protect small children and drunks. I'm living proof on both parts.
• I will not spend the rest of my life in New England. As well, I will never likely leave the US borders with the exception of visiting Canada. If I do leave the US, and go overseas, it will likely be a permanent and anonymous trip.
• When it comes to driving a car, you don't know how to drive one until your 25. Till that point, you're still learning.
• In life, always keep your eye open for the free things. You never know when you'll need a 30' piece of #8 rebar. But at least I've got it.
• Yes, life can be very bleak. But just think, the average age of death in the US for men is mid 70's. The current retirement age is 70. I've been working since I was 15. I mean really working, not helping Mom cut someone elses yard. So that means I'm going to work my ass off for 55 years, so that I can retire and enjoy life for 5 years.
• Caffeine can help keep you alert, but overdose and addiction can give you some incredible and uncontrollable mood swings.
• The current elementary, middle and high school system in the US is complete trash. Children need to be disciplined much more often, and much stronger.
• There is always a shorter back road that the lemmings don't know about. You just have to find it.
• I'm going to build alot of buildings that I will never get credit for.
• The "rate The XXX" threads, and others of similar vein, add no content to GTP and are an extremely lame attempt at becoming The Colour Blue.

I'm so glad I don't have to drive through there anymore.

As for passing on the right, there are three lanes of traffic on most of Bostons main highways. If noone else is gonna use 'em, I certainly will.

Speeding. 5-10 over the limit in Greater Boston will warrant gestures and shouting, even if you are already in the slow lane. Please, drive with traffic. Around here, if you're not tween 75 and 85, you're on a back road. or its rush hour. My morning commute is 44 miles. 11 of which are back road, the other 33 being highway. Which is travelled at 75-80 each morning and afternoon.

 

[Evolution.]

Um. John Bergin is huge in the pants.

Say what?

 

[a6m5]

I certainly don't feel so bad about passing from the slow lane anymore. And I can always pretend I'm driving in Australia.

 

[TB]

Oregon weather went crap about a week ago. But all of the sudden, we are supposed to get 80 degree weather for one more week or so, starting tomorrow.

So living in ND, I might have a few more days of 80? The last 4 days we've had steady rain. My grass is out of control.

Back on topic: Getting married and having children isn't nealy as terrifying and/or difficult as you would believe. Just use common sense and do what you think is right. Maybe I should write my own book because everything I've read about kids has been pretty obvious: Read to them, don't let them watch too much TV, make sure they get plenty of excercise... Too bad my book would be 3 pages of double spaced text and come in General Mills cereal boxes.

Please don't project your homoerotic fantasies onto me.

In other words, MistaX is big in the pants. This could be taken in a few different ways. He's overweight, packing, or overweight.

I could be wrong.

Your turn.

I agree, the rumble strip is nowhere near as interesting as it was 2 or 3 years ago, despite having a ton more members today. I think it's just because there's too many members for everybody to know each other, which leads to less interesting conversations, and more RATE THE AVATAR ABOVE U threads.

I've decided that more people need to post in the sports forums here.

 

[Midnight Runner]

I've decided that:

1.Flu sucks.
2.Having overly horny coupe as neighbours sucks.
3.Sony Ericsson mobile phones suck.
4.Being bored sucks.
5.Youtube sucks.Sometimes.
6.WD-40 is good stuff.
7.I need a haircut.
8.That I'll buy 2 GB RAM more for my PC.
9.That I'll buy a new mobile phone.

[Zrow]

I've decided that I don't want to live in the suburbs when I'm older - I'd rather it be a city. New York, namely. I've also decided that New York is hugely expensive and I'll probably not get there, because I don't even know what I want to do career-wise.

I've long-since decided that I want to be a professional musician, but I mean that's even more of a reach.

I really don't work hard enough, and I'm it's due to my short attention span and my laziness.

And lastly, two nights ago I decided that tequila bad news.

 

[Danny]

I'm going to live for the moment, since I'll only live once.

 

[OZZYGT]

I've decided that more people need to post in the sports forums here.

I agree 100%, specially in the Baseball forum

• I have decided to ignore girsl for a while. Im too busy with work and school (I live in NYC Zrow ) that girls can turn out to be your foes in the life game.
• I have ACCEPTED, that hypocrecy is a part of life, or better said, is a part of social life.
• I have decided that the GTP community will be my partial place to hang aroud...since everytime I go out, I spend un-necessary amounts of money with people you claim to be "friends"
• I have decided that everytime I see a homeless guy, I will look down on them. I've met people in worst physical conditions that are working and earning enough money to support themselves.
• I have decided that I won't listen to modern "rock" from now and on. I understand that music constantly changes but this time the change hasn't been for the better. I'll stick with classic rock until the early 90's.
• I have decided to finally watch American Idol. It's one of the only few funny programs left on television.
• I have decided that as I get older, I will start acting like Holden Caulfield's attitude toward general adult society. BTW he's the main character in the book "The Catcher in the Rye"

Ciao!

 

[MistaX]

NYC is poo.

Let me explain why:

I've nearly fallen off the Jacob Javits Center.

It's next to impossible to get anywhere in a car.

It costs SEVEN WHOLE DOLLARS to cross the Hudson in a car.

I got lost in Union when I nearly accedently took the Lincoln Tunnel. Even though I needed to be going the entire opposite direction. I saw the sign "LAST EXIT BEFORE TUNNEL" and it was either I pay seven whole dollars to make a U Turn or I get lost in a terrible city. I took the latter.

 

[OZZYGT]

really? how so?

Unless you live in Uptown.

Lol! I hear that! The only time I use my car is if I want to go to Long Island or New Jersey, otherwise, I use the subway or bus.
BTW I thought it was a $6 toll?

• I have also decided that If I leave NYC, I will be moving to Boston. Such a lovely city with a great history and great people. It has a great college enviroment too.
  
  Plus, I wanna be part of Red Sox nation

Ciao!

 

[MistaX]

really? how so?

NYIAS, I was upstairs in that area where they sell all the stuff. There's big doors that lead to a balcony. I went out on the balcony for a cigarette, and sat down on the concrete ledge.

Then the wind blew, and I damn near fell.

 

[Zrow]

I gotta say that all of those things can be avoided. Especially the "falling off a building" part.

Seriously, I wouldn't even try to have a car there - that traffic is insane.
