It's finally happened to me. By ways of passing up a truck on my way to work, another car decides to cut in front and do the same thing. I don't mind what just happened, ain't no thang. Although, it does bother me when we get so close to the the entrance to the freeway, that she decides to slow down, not allowing me to get in front of the truck. My opinion, I think she's being a careless driver and not paying attention to those around her. Imagine being on Berryessa heading east to enter 680 going north, in the left lane. You're ahead of a truck, but not enough to switch to the right lane because the car in front of the truck had slowed down almost getting rear ended by the truck. So, to avoid danger, I speed up next to the car, which at that moment , the truck switches lanes and gets behind me. I peek into the red slow car and notice that the person inside was looking at her driver's side mirror. She begins to speed up and I nearly clip her back left bumper, while avoiding a collision with the truck behind me. Wait! That's not the end.

The woman in the red car is on the loop and nearly runs off the road to the left then takes a sharp cut to her right and passes the white lines and goes partially in the dirt. By the way, I'm kind of laughing because this woman is being the most irresponsible driver and I hope she crashes, burns and hopefully gets her license taken from her. Ok, she's on strike 2 with me. Guess how she strikes out.

Not even on the freeway yet, her merging skills are awful. Usually when you merge, you try to stay on the right side and looking over your shoulder to see if you could get in the lane heading onto the freeway. This is what she does. She gets in the middle of the lanes and gets rear ended by the car trying to exit onto Berryessa. She loses control and goes up the under slope and into the dirt. I guess her hands weren't on the wheel. Luckily there was no one behind me, or else I would've been hit too.

I gave both parties my story and saying no one at fault. It happens, but the woman, I may add, had the ugliest makeup job done ever. lol. If you're going to drive, then drive. Don't eat or anything else. Stupid drivers and good drivers who get pushed down because of stupid drivers.

I need to keep myself from getting angry lately. My blood pressure just started to go down and I feel it fluctuating and stuff. My matters go overlooked. My mind hurts. My back hurts and I want to lay down. I want to sleep. I wish I didn't have work tomorrow, but it is something that I cannot help. Maybe we'll have a half day and everything will turn out fine. I get angry over the smallest things. Is it better this way? Better that I don't suppress my frustrations and annoyances, I guess. I could feel my heart pounding pretty aggressively against my chest. Just breathe in and out. Sometimes it hurts. I can hardly breathe normally, my hands cover my chest, and the dizziness comes back.

What do I do? I mean, I've managed to let things go when I'm not doing well in my Halo 3 time, but other things seem to clutter my mind with deep thought. Sometimes it's work, sometimes it's just the thought that my body is not acting the same way. Sometimes when I need a little tender loving care, it's not there. I don't mean to be a stubborn "baby" about it all, but that's what I need...even if that's not how we truly feel I should be treated. Bad heart, bad kidneys, high uric acid, sore muscles, feeling of influenza, headaches...I just want to quit. Game over. No need to deal with my life anymore. Over-dramatic, probably, but I don't care. Whatever, I have work tomorrow, I still feel slightly hot-headed right now. The world will live on and die out in a few years with all the horrors of mother nature going away. She doesn't want or like us anymore. Blah.

Deleted. A post that probably made my situation with someone on the sour side. With the exception of deleting a blog post, I, personally, over-stepped my boundaries and my own words. With my utter apologies, I bid farewell to this blog and I will see you guys on a new day. But, I was able to save some bits and pieces.

I'm sort of annoyed right now. What else could I write about? I'm going to publish this and start another.

People make mistakes that belongs to the forgive and forget category, and some end with a life enriching experience that teaches or burns a lesson in them forever. Or, the no remorse category where a person just doesn't care...I will never be like this. My heart is too big to not care about someone's feeling. And if I'm a hypocrite for saying so, comment or email me at joshgumbi@sbcglobal.net.

Not that anyone cares, but my time improved with the 3x3 Rubik's cube. I went from 4 minutes 3 seconds to 3 minutes 2 seconds

Not that anyone cares, but my time improved with the 3x3 Rubik's cube. I went from 4 minutes 3 seconds to 3 minutes 2 seconds.

Although this was posted so long ago, I improved my time to under 2 minutes. (08/19/08)

I never got back to you on my last entry. Oh well, it happens. November looks like an upbeat month, with Thanksgiving about to roll around the corner. The best part of this month is the three, yet three, paychecks. I'm going to attempt to save my whole second paycheck...yum. The perks of being salary isn't as great as hourly, yet my job doesn't really do the overtime thing. Plus, the on-call phone has included pay with it which means more money. Woohoo! This month is filled with Scorpio's who endure birthdays with happiness, excitement, and the spirit of good tidings. Thanksgiving will pass us like the turkey wings that I enjoy eating, BLACK FRIDAY will go quickly once again and me not needing to make my way to these crazy stores. Maybe I'll try this year. Might as well since we will be playing Halo until 4am.

Be right back...maybe. lol

Look I'm back and motivated...


Once upon a time...
...there was a man who was granted one wish. He was given three days to come up with this wish before the wish would not happen. The man didn't think anything of it, until he began to think of all the things he never had. As a young boy, years before he found himself in a candy store where he could not resist the temptation to buy everything in the store. Unfortunately, he only had a couple coins given to him by his grandma to buy dinner. The little boy turned around, left the candy store with the same possessions. Walking sadly down the street, he promised himself that one day he'll own the world. Between the time of this tragedy and this wish, he was blessed with a wonderful wife and children to bring happiness and hope into his life. So, knowing what he had already, a wish was hard to come by, even with all the things he never had. Minutes before his wish was bound to vanish forever, he granted himself a wish that would last forever. He wished for nothing. Suddenly the wish was stunned with this man's unselfish gesture. The wish granted this man and his family a farewell and disappeared. Although the man was confused why he out of many would be granted a wish. Later, he was given a letter that was unbelievable to even his eyes. The power of the wish brought warmth to those around this man.

We can't all have what we wish for, but knowing that there's someone to keep us from wanting more, we'll continue to be happy.

October

The month of October could be remembered in great detail. A majority of this month was preparing for a softball tournament, finalizing preparations for a family member's wedding reception, and preparing for that special first day after the month ends. Plus, the Xbox 360 console entered my life later in the month that keeps me up later than usual at night. The return of the Socom night, but this time we're fighting as either Spartans or Covenant scum.

For now, I'll write that introduction. I will continue this at a later time.
