Bad drivers, baseball, random thoughts #2

Bad drivers

Why must so many people be bad at driving? It's been a bad winter here, and people usually blame the weather on the accidents. But frankly, it's the drivers that are most to blame. People drive like they always do, or just too slow in bad storms. This leads to most of the accidents in the winter here, in my view. There is bad ice on roads, but if you're careful on it... you should be fine usually.

Then there is the ignorant drivers, that think they own the road. People blast their horns, thinking it will help things. It just makes others mad, and doesn't fix a delay. If I had the power to do so: I would put all the people that do this in a room, and force them to listen to loud horns for a while. Learn to grow up people, horns shouldn't be abused just because you have road rage.

Lastly, there is the annoying drivers. People that play their music so loud, it vibrates all other cars nearby. Noise pollution needs to stop.

Baseball

Major League Baseball starts in a little over a month. This is my favorite sport, so I'm getting excited. My Brewers have a great lineup this year, so it's very possible they will be in the playoffs. Last year they did well, but then struggled. This year looks very promising for them. The steroid scandals will probably turn some people off of the game, but in the long run: I doubt it will have huge effects on the popularity of baseball. More laws and regulations against steroids will be put in place, and that should fix things. Personally, I find it stupid that people need to use steroids and other drugs to enhance their ability. Play the game how it should be played: without enhancement drugs. If you don't have the ability to play (without using drugs), then you probably shouldn't be in the major leagues in the first place.

Random Thoughts # 2

Only a few weeks until Super Smash Brothers Brawl comes out. I will probably get it when it comes out, but I don't think I will wait in line at midnight. Some stores have midnight sales for the obsessed fans that can't wait. It doesn't matter if you buy the game at a different time: it's still the same game. Sometimes people need to just be patient, instead of being so obsessed over something.

I'm going to a WWE wrestling event in March. It's a house show, which is a show that's not televised. Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels and more will be in action.

My dad is bothered by people who zoom through yellow lights or run reds. The government here has installed red light cameras that snap a picture of cars that zoom through a red light. Dad likes watching intersections for flashes because he is happy knowing that they'll get ticketed.

I am looking forward to Brawl! I don't think I will wait in line for midnight, though, because I'll be too tired when I get home to play. You better have your Wii connected to the Internet by then, because I want to beat you!
