And now I'm bored with this...

It's been a good year all in all, much better then last year on the whole in most ways.

I must say the one thing I regret in an odd way is my old job...yes yes I know my regular readers (if there's any left???) are probably thinking *sorry, what??*

But yeah, my old job was my muse for writing. My muse got rid of me, for financial reasons but got rid of me none the less.

Now my blog has become *the shopping blog* as someone said to me, which is true but not what I set out to be.

Not that I wanted to be that angry chic, but I was and now I'm that shopping chic who writes about total crap.

I suppose that's fine, I am after all feeling much more settled and happy. I've got more confidence and things that fill my time and really what have I got to complain about?

Well, I do have something but I've written about it at least 20 times already. The driving.

I suppose I could close the year with a good old fashioned traffic rant...

Here you go, you're welcome.

To all you fuckheads out there who think it's ok to ride my bumper while the fuckhead in front of me has just slammed on his/her brakes in front of me for NO REASON-fuck you.

To all you fuckheads who think it's ok to chat on your mobiles while weaving in and out of traffic on SQ highway at 120k/h-fuck you.

To all you fuckheads who run out onto the street in front of my car while I'm driving at 120k/h on SQ highway-fuck you.

To all you fuckheads who do U turns RIGHT in front of my car when you could just drive to the next roundabout 2 minutes down the roads-fuck you, you fucking lazy cunts!

To all you fuckheads who thinking it's ok to drag race and squeal your tires around corners in a quiet residential neighbourhood-fuck you.

To all you fuckheads who would rather get into a head on collision with me rather then drive over some rocks and dirt on the road-FUCK YOU!!!!

What the fuck are you all fucking thinking???? Where the fuck did you get your fucking license? A shop in Ruwi???

Smarten the fuck up.

Ahh...forgot how good that feels...sometimes you just gotta get it all out...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all have a safe and happy 2010 :)
