It's time for a post.

This is why.

It was the day after Christmas. Not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse. I was on my sixth beer and ready to turn in for the evening, when I heard tires screaching and a major collision. I peeped out through my mini-blinds and witnessed a truck drive down my street and fishtail into a neighbor's car at the end of my street.

I didn't know that the truck that fishtailed into my neighbor's car did serious damage until the next day when I was driving to work and I was forced to look at the damage. On the night of the crime It was cold outside and I didn't want to go outside into a world where drunk drivers were randomly running into people's cars.

I cased my street the next day and recreated the scene of the crime. First of all, the culprit ran into a trash can. I turned it around to face the dent in the direction of the original collision, I guess I have too much time on my hands. I pieced together the random pieces of broken taillight at the scene of the most serious crime. It was a pretty nice car, I think a late model Nissan Maxima...hit by a reddish short cab pick-up truck.

I've had my car randomly hit by a hit and run driver on my street. There are a lot of worthless people driving cars in the city. I'm glad it hasn't happened recently. I quess I'm pretty good at keeping my car tucked in between my neighbor's cars.

In additional news, I was watching the movie "Transformers" before working a night shift a few days ago. I wasn't able to see the end of the movie at the time because I had to go to work. Disappointed, I went to my local Target to buy the movie so I could watch it and see the end. My Target had two copies of the movie for thirteen dollars, both with the plastic broken open. I checked them and quickly learned that neither case had the original movie in it. I think I looked like a creep checking the DVD cases but I would have been an idiot to buy a DVD case with no movie in it. I think I am living in interesting times.
