Anti-climax, Nasty people, and Dave Chappelle

I received my diploma in the mail on Friday. It was really anticlimactic. If it wasn't for the seals I could have printed out an 8.5x11 that said I graduated from the school. The memory of my 19 year old self mocks the current 30 year old me for having gotten suckered into the system.

As I was leaving Tony's Pizzaria today I was almost backed into by some horrible creature driving an SUV. In complete disregard for the fact Annie and I were walking across the path of her multi-ton vehicle she rushed to back up. As she passed me I looked her in the eye with the universal expression for "what the fuck is your problem?" I felt that was enough and moved on. But then when I was in my car and they were getting out of theirs she proceeded to give me the finger and then walk away. I had a momentary rush of indignation followed immediately by the sense that this was a pathetic miserable person. May your life provide you with all the appropriate misery you deserve.

For those of you wondering where Dave Chappelle is Matt from wherethehellismatt.com had an unexpected sighting. The sighting is towards the middle of the January 16th posting. I highly recommend the sight for those of us who yearn to travel the world but have neither the funds nor the current creativity to manage it.
