Oh the joys of driving
I never can rant enough about the lack of use of the turn signal. It could be my biggest pet peeve. One of these days, I will be in a horrible car accident because someone refused to use their turning indicator that results in my incineration by gigantic fireball. That or I'm going to get a brand new epxlorer out of the deal.
Before I launch into my full tirade, I'm going to say that there is only one situation when I do not use my turn signal and that's when I'm out and about in the country alone cruising down a gravel road while hunting. But I digress....
This morning's incident made my jaw drop in utter disbelief. I was situated at a stoplight (yes, we have stoplights in my small town) with my turn signal indicating that I would turn left when the situation allowed me. There was a truck across the way obviously heading in the opposite direction as I was or facing south since I was facing north. I had been stopped there for a full five or six seconds which was more than enough time to gauge my wait before I could turn left because of traffic behind the truck.
That's when the moron in the truck put his turn signal on while I was watching. I saw his face. It wasn't a look of "Oh hey, I need to go this way," or "Oh yeah, I forgot I needed to turn." I'm positive that the idiot in question didn't change his mind in the middle of the route. He just ASSUMED that I would know he wanted to turn. It's not much effort. Have we gotten so lazy as a society we can't move our freaking hands to push a lever up or down? My goodness, I'm not a member of the Psychic Network. I have never claimed to be. I shouldn't have to guess whether or not a driver is going to turn. No one should. I guess my explorer has invisible paint on it, which makes other people unable to see it.
Yes, I see a horriffic fireball in my future.
Dumb coaches
I hate dumb coaches. I loathe dumb coaches.
To me a dumb coach is someone who doesn't have a solid grip on the fundementals of coaching. The coach in question tonight, (we'll call him Gary) came to the particular school from out east, where he was the second leading scorer at the school where he attended. That being said, he has a chip on his shoulder.
I have never liked Gary and this eastcoast holier than thou attitude he possesed. It's almost like his success on the court went right to the area between his ears. In the past two years, I've really been watching him coach, I don't think he has ever said one positive thing to his players as they come off of the floor. He berates the little mistakes almost to the point where the players are afraid to make any sort of mistake and they play timidly. Throw in the fact that he doens't play players long enough to get them in any sort of rythym or flow and there's a reason why he doesn't have anyone averaging ABOVE double figures for the season.
I don't like Gary.
Being 30
isn't much different from being 29. Yes, I did have some "bling" as Becka calls it shot into my head. Actually, I had better clarify because anyone that knows me, knows that if i say I had something shot into my head, there is an actual chance I have been impaled in some way, shape or form.
This time, I did it by choice and now have an earring to show for it. Actually, I'm quite digging on the earring. My broadcast partner for HC women's games, Michelle, said that it was about time that I got the earring. I'll be honest, I was a litttle afraid that the headphones would hurt, but they fit around my ears.
Once again, I'm ready for another HC broadcast. You can find the link at

It's official
I did not see my shadow. Therefore, it's an early spring. Now it's time for spring because softball is right around the corner. Let's play some ball.
The last few hours
of being 29 have been uneventful. I'm fed and I'm tired. Tomorrow is my birthday and I will no longer be in my 20's.
It's time to be a mature grown-up adult with seriousness.
Wow, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. I'll never grow up! EVER! HAHAHAHAHA!
