Having travelled around the country now for quite a bit, I realized some things.

Everywhere is like everywhere else except,

some places have more crappy people.

I like the fact that I left Michigan, again.

I had a seriously cool crew of people I hung out with.

All of them great people,

I just felt it was a crappy place for me.

I wanted to be free from the oppressive midwest "it's a great place to raise a family".

Really???

Why?

Maybe for you.

I have become quite saddened by people's general lack of

compassion and tolerance.

Gays cannot marry.

What difference does it make to you?

You have to believe this religion or I will kill you.

^ I will never comprehend that^

I also am not really comprehending hotel type coffee.

Or the slamming of hotel doors as you come and go.

Why? Do you slam your doors at home?

I went and saw a movie last night.

I was the first person in the theater, so I chose my best seat.

Three mouth breathers come in and sit right behind me, in an otherwise vacant theater.

So I was miffed.

I realized my intolerance and stifled it.

I was going to learn from my wife and just relax.

After 15 kicks to the back of my chair from a grown person, I was not

going to just stifle it.

I turned and gave the WTF A HOLE look.

Kicking stopped.

For ten whole minutes.

In the past I would have said something.

Something that included not nice words.

I did not.

I gave the you ass hole look,

and moved seats.

I could go on about the person being black, jewish, mexican or heaven forbid

just plain white.

But really what does that accomplish?

The guy was just a douche bag.

Simple as that.

Funny thing about the story is that I let it go.

the angry buddhist

let it go.

You can teach an old dog new tricks.

Thanks wife.

And with that I am learning to become tolerant.

I urge you to become more tolerant.

Unless your driving, because I need to figure that one out still ;)
