The story.
So I was going to Danielle's house the other night... Friday? I was cruising down 294 coming home from school. This van was in the left lane and going like 58mph. I signaled and went into the next right lane. Just then he also went into the right lane. I quickly switched back into the left lane and went to pass him. Seems like a basic pass right?
Well, as I was passing him (he was from Indiana, I don't know if that matters to you or not) i noticed that he was sticking his middle finger up at me. When i noticed, i hit the brake and slowed down to make sure. I looked at him and put my hand to my ear implying that i didn't hear him. At this point he took his hands off the wheel and stuck both middle fingers up.
I just looked at him and gave him a big thumbs up and sped up and cut him off. I slowed down to about 45-50. He went to the left. so did i. I stayed in front of him He kept flashing his brights at me, then when i slowed more he kept the bright lights on.
He wasn't a very happy Indianan at that point.
Then I saw this car (I thought it might be a newer model Impala) coming up pretty fast from the rear. I was like hmmm... that's a cop. I went to go to the right to move over as to get out of his way. He also went to the right, so i (being a defensive driver) politely went back to the left and sped up to 60mph. He blew past me with everyone in the car flipping the proverbial bird. Then the unmarked maroon Impala got very close behind him and hit is red and blue lights.
I felt so vindicated. I hadn't started it, I just gave the guy what he deserved. Then, I'm sure, the officer had some nice things to say to him as well.
I'm sure he saw the bright lights being flashed from the opposit direction. Cool, huh?
I decided this was one of my favorite driving times. I have a lot of least favorite. Finally the cops get the bad guy. (not me)

Other news
I started working my kiosk for Day by Day Calendar Co. on friday and saturday. It's way fun. I get to just sit by the food court at Lincolnwood Mall and watch people eat and sit. Not too many people buy calendars in October.

School is going ok. Its fun sometimes. I have a lot of work to do. I enjoy it most of the time.

I've decided to clasify myself as a keg of untapped potential. I'm ready for a frat party of scholastic calibur. I'm not sure if that makes any sense. I'm just saying that I know I have a lot of potential and I want to unleash it.

Jason was going to go get a tattoo today. I was going to go with after my 1 o'clock class. I haven't seen him since then.
Oh well, I have more stuff to do anyway. I can't wait to see the season premier of Boston Public tonight. That show is great!

I'm watching Cops now. Another great show!!!
The more i think about it, I really want to be a police officer... eventhough the loners become cops and get more lonely in their squad cars. Right Dave Rauch?

I just think it would be such a fulfilling and fun life. Helping people all the time. I'm not saying Villa Park or Elmhurst. I want to be a Chicago Cop. I love the city, and really think that I could make a difference. Eventually I could take a detective's test.

The only problem is money. I would like to make a lot of money. I'm majoring in Business, i could have something on the side. Own a resteraunt or some sort of a hangout kinda place... I don't know. I don't know what I want to do.

Eh...

Any suggestions? I have a guestbook for a reason. No, I don't want to be a gigalo... or do i?

Whatever...

I don't know what else to tell you all. I'm going to dinner in an hour.
