I was riding the wrong way today when a lady biker was coming at me going the right way. So I went to her left, going out into traffic so she could have the lane. She gave me a dirty look.

is the irony of this only visible to me?
i tried to start a fight with a dude tonight who pulled a u-turn infront of me out of his parking spot on the side of the street. i had enough time to stop, but barely. he ended up sidways in the middle of the road, taking up both lanes, and i was right up to his passanger window. he just looked at me, threw his hands up and said:
"what was i supposed to do?"
instead of laughing it off, and confused by his nonsensical non-apollogy, i decided to throw my arms up, all gangster and start yelling.
"watch where the **** you're going, that's what you're supposed to do, mother ****er! what?!".
i knew i was being ridiculous, but it was funny at the time. plus, now i'll gurantee that that dude will be sure to look before pulling out of infront of people.

That's okay then.
Because it's definitely the person going the wrong way's job to get out of the way.

It's going to be sick.
I still gotta polish up all the old parts - shouldn't take too long, just labor intensive.

Dude, you got dissed in the streets and went home and posted a message about it on the internet about what you didn't do about it.

ou should never attempt to harm another unless you are defending another or yourself, although the latter is debatable. otoh, if you want to hit someon, hit 'em.
