Hooo yeah! ...sorry ya'll, Jodeci moment there.
Whatup peoples? Everybody doin' aight? Cool...cool. Well, sittin' here @ work...ji' tired, but oh well. Oh, this asshole drivin' a greyhound bus decided he wanted to endanger my life in the third street tunnel this mornin'. Peep: I'm drivin' into the tunnel, having just come off 395N. From the direction I was coming, there are two lanes, and there's another lane that drops into the tunnel from the other side of 395 which wuns paralell to the two lanes from the northbound side (the southbound side). So, I was in the left lane from my side, which then becomes the center lane once the southbound lane from 395 merges into the tunnel. Got it? Okay, wasn't the clearest, but here goes anyway. I drivin in the left lane that came off 395N into the tunnel. As asshole comes of 395S, he decides to just jump over into my lane, while I'm still in it. This wasn't some "cut Lee off" type of shit, this was asshole driving right next to me and coming over mad fast and mad hard with a big ass bus. Soooo, I beep my horn loudly, which would alert most drivers to their erroneous ways, but alas, asshole didn't even flinch. Had there been another car in the lane next to me, I would hav had no choice but to hit him (or her).
So, at the light, I holler at ole boy (which is very unlike me). This fucker tries to play it down like I'm mad for no reason. I think he was a bit nervous because I had on a wifebeater and my tatoo was visible. All he kept saying was, "We cool boss". I'm like, "Yo, you didn't see me in that lane back there?!" "We cool boss." "Naw man, you need to pay attention to what your doin', man...I was in that lane back there. You couldv'e caused an accident!" "We cool boss." "Naw man, you can kill somebody like that,man...pay attention to what you're doin!" "We cool boss."
Asshole.
This dude is like 45 years old, and I'm yellin' at him like he's a child. I think the only reason I didn't get too off the hook with it, was because there was this cutie in between us who looked a bit uneasy at me yellin' across two lanes of traffic. Shit, she probably thought I was about to handle that dude or somethin'. So, I kept it civil. It's funny how I'm about to blow up and snap on somebody, but something or someone does something to calm me down. Today it was shorty to my right in the white truck. Two weeks ago, when the cops pulled me over, it was Lynn tellin' me to calm down...that and I posted the joint on my journal from my cell phone. My journal normally calms me down...
Anyway, dude not only my life and his in the balance, but however many passengers were abord. Realistically, I woulda been the main one fucked up had I not slowed down while I was honking my horn, but you never know. Normally I'm pretty aware of the location of cars around me, but, I can't even tell you where any other cars were in those few moments. So, that coulda been a chain reaction. Thank God that it wasn't tho'...I thought that was wild, man.
