People are stupid. That's always going to be a thing. Someone almost died today because of someone else's stupidity. I think I wrote in an entry just last week about there having been a local traffic light that had briefly lost power. That sort of thing is going to happen sometimes and the law, at least here in California, mandates that when these traffic lights lose power and are not functioning properly, those intersections are to be treated like your standard four-way intersections. Motorists are to treat those intersections as if there were actual stop signs there. This morning, in an entirely different community from where that other traffic light was, another traffic signal happened to be down. The car in front of me stopped as mandated by law and proceeded to cross the intersection. As that car was still in the middle of the intersection, a Scion going at damn near top speed is forced to hit the brakes, because apparently that driver is a fucking retard who either doesn't understand how non-operational traffic lights work or they can't be bothered to focus on the road ahead. Miraculously, that dumbass driver in the Scion avoids colliding into the car in front of me. It was ridiculously close too, but had that collision occurred, someone could have died. God bless the power of working brakes, I guess, but why is that so hard to do? Why can't people pay attention to the fucking road while driving? Lives are at stake when people don't pay attention on the road, especially when drivers damn near T-bone other cars.
I don't like it when people waste my time, as if somehow, my time isn't as valuable as theirs. Yessica wanted to have lunch with me today, but she couldn't be bothered to coordinate schedules with me so that we could make this all happen. I last texted her this morning just after 9:30am, to see if if 1:30pm was still good for her. She had set this time earlier in the morning and I was willing. I still have yet to hear from her and we are now several hours past 1:30pm. I ate lunch by myself at my usual 11am, because I'm not going to allow people to dictate how I go about doing those things that I have to do. I'm glad I didn't wait. 1:30pm is ridiculously late for me to be eating lunch anyway, though I was willing to make that adjustment to my schedule. I don't know. I don't think there's an excuse here to leave someone hanging, even if its just for a meal. This lack of communication just irritates me to no end. I will say this though. I don't do that kind of thing to others because I know it's disrespectful. I don't like my time wasted and I'm not about to waste anyone else's time. If anything, I'm curious to see what the excuse is going to be.
I think that I'll be sending Wreckreation for the PS5 back to GameFly as soon as tomorrow or perhaps later this week. The game is okay and while it is playable and not terrible by any means, I just don't see myself playing it much over the long-since established and considerably better racer, Burnout Paradise. Even if I were to keep it for the asking price of $25, I don't want to own it and I know I won't play it. I'll just send it back and let someone else take a stab at it.
I'm gradually trying to get back into gaming. GameFly is helping with that. As of this writing, I don't have any games on the horizon that I'm looking forward to playing. I know there's a new Resident Evil game coming out later this week, but I'm not in any hurry to play it. MLB The Show 26 is scheduled to release in the next few weeks, but again, I'm not dying to play that game either. I suppose that's just as well because that means that I'm not spending money frivolously on video games, especially on games that I'm not necessarily wanting to play.
It's was warm outside for much of the day, but yet the inside of the house had been unusually cold. It's 65 degrees outside right now, but I'm wearing a hoodie. I decided to forego the beanie, even though it would be a nice match with the hoodie. I don't give a damn about coordinating right now. I'm just trying to get comfortable and it's been a struggle.
I'll be going to bed soon. I'll need to be rested for the work day tomorrow. As always, I hope that I'm not too busy, but ultimately, that's nothing I can really ever control.
That's pretty much my life, as dull as it is.
It's fantastic.
