Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Poor Man's Segway?
Everyone knows the problem. I need a job. But I can't get a job because I don't have any means of transportation. But I can't get transportation without money from a job. It's a miserable catch-22. So today, I've been thinking about non-car motorized options. Something that could get me two miles or so to the supermarket so I could at least get a part time job. It's summer, so it's sweltering. I physically couldn't tolerate riding a bike in 95F weather with 95% humidity and 10+ uv index sun. I just can't. So what else can I do? Segways run near $5,000. Various "vespa" type moped type things run between $2,000 and $7,000. And they'd require tags, insurance, whatnot. More added cost.

So then I thought about those little scooter things all the teenagers ride. A lot of them are really tacky kids toys, but this one actually doesn't look too bad. One guy even refers to it as a poor man's segway which is basically what I need. Something to be able to get me to and from a job for a couple months while I save up some cash.

Is that really a stupid idea? I mean, I really have no clue. I've never even really seen one of these kind of things up close. I don't have $300 but still, it's a hell of a lot less to try to save up for versus a car or something and not much more then a regular bike that I'd kill myself on.

Thoughts?
