Drive-by/lesson of the day


Oh man, so I like to joke around with friends and family that I live in "the ghetto." I live off of riverside, and although this area is not prime real-estate, for the price im paying I have a very nice place. And although sometimes I feel like I am in another country when I drive down riverside, I at least know there are other scared college kids like me, at least I am not alone. Well, after Sunday I really can say I live in the ghetto. I was driving back to my apartment after a fun day at home with my family, (so of course my car was full of treats the momma made me, and I wonder why I am not losing more weight) :) If anyone lives or has ever driven in Austin, the traffic SUCKS. Sadly the engineer who designed the whole highway system is a woman, wah wah wahhh, so every chance they get a man says, "well thats what ya get for letting a damn woman do something." Well, before I start ranting on mens ideals of women.... So the traffic on I35 was horrible, so I took my typical detour, east stassney. Now this road is no westlake hills, but it's not east compton either. So here I am driving and rocking out to my poddy (ipod) and I notice ahead some retards swerving in and out of lanes, cutting people off. I just rolled my eyes and kept on jamming (old school madonna rocks my world) I stop at a red light, as it turns green and I accelerate, one of the retard cars jerks in front of me, I had to slam on the breaks (and I was in my mommas bug car, so the breaks are needlessly touchy) to not rear-end him. Well then my road rage kicked in, which honestly was not as bad as I usually am, all I did was honk instead of my usual arsenal of my favorite finger, hands in the air, and cursing at him like he can hear through glass. Well then he stomped on the breaks yet again, and one of his friends in the back rolled down the window, pulled their upper body out and pointed a lovely gun at me, then pretended to shoot. Now most scared little white momma's girls would have pissed their pants, thankgod I did not have that urge. :) Maybe I should work on that road rage.... So lesson of the day kiddies, when driving in the ghetto, do not honk your horn at cars, because they will probably shoot you. :)


Another day in the ghetto, another adventure!

mollie this is crazy! You totally should have written down their license plate! And although the car was probably stolen...you could have reported it! Don't drive on scary roads by yourself! Sit in traffic....they don't pull guns out on you!
