Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Inlander:
Drivers in Melbourne are pretty bad, and you see people rush through a corner on a pedestrian crossing or run a red light pretty often - however, I have to say that by far the worst offenders are cyclists. As a cyclist it makes me so angry to see other cyclists behaving like dickheads on the road - and then everyone wonders why drivers don't respect cyclists! Listen up, everyone: if you want to ride on the road, obey the damn road rules.

The worst part is how that is a fairly common occurrence. I am basically waiting for the gas crisis to escalate to the point that nobody can drive though, because then I will rub it in their stinky faces. And set their useless cars on fire.
I am not a happy biker.
EDIT: Bikers who ride through red lights and stop signs and don't follow general road rules can suck it too.

i worked out with my crazy intense rugby champion housemate today and it was one of the most difficult things i can remember doing in a very long time. we took turns alternating between skipping rope and doing abdominal exercises every three minutes, for about 45 minutes. apparantly switching rapidly between cardio and muscle-building exercises is really good for you and maximizes the benefits of both. doesn't sound so intense but i learned the hard way that it really is. i'm looking forward to doing a lot more of this in the future but jesus, i am terrified of what my limbs will feel like tomorrow morning.

Dear blog thread - one of the most irrational fears ever (fear of daddy long legs) brought me out of my half-sleeping stupor in the dark with my ear (ruptured drum) feeling fine all the way into a frenzy, in bright light, my ear throbbing, and me somehow shirtless. This most recent development is when I mistook a thread on the shirt for one of the horrible spider-poseur's eponymous legs, and I "flipped shit," screaming "OH JESUS" repeatedly and clawing the shirt over my head.
I will not rest until that mayflylike motherfucker is caught and thrown outside my window (because I honestly can't kill in good conscience).

motherfuck my night sucked way harder than it was supposed to. I was all pumped for the brewer game I went to with my brother and some friends, but the brewers played like shit and the game sucked. We paid double what we normally pay for tickets because the cheaper ones were sold out, and it wasn't even worth it to drive to Milwaukee and pay that much for a shitty game that we didn't even watch till the end.
After that, we drove back to Madison, but because of the flooding I94 was closed so we had to detour south all the way to Beloit, and then back north on I90 to Madison.
Here's the route- the blue is the normal route, the red is the detour we were forced to take:
In all, what should have been a 75 mile trip taking about an hour and a half ended up being a 3 and a half hour drive covering 145 miles. I drove the whole way and now I'm tired as fuck. All in all, a trip that was not worth the money, especially since I got hardly any compensation from my friends for gas.
