Hello, it's been a while since you guys have heard from me. This post would've been up a day earlier but my internet and home phone died last night so instead you guys get a dose of my words of wisdom tonight *cough cough*
Just a few of thoughts as of late but I feel as though with we're all finding ourselves a part of the rat race, we seem to busier, packing our days with more and more task all of which made easier by technology. The down side to that its difficult to slow down because that would mean that time is being wasted. Last week I was walking home, school had just ended so there were also primary school kids walking home at that time as well. At that an intersection (wasn't a main road but still with some traffic), a kid negligently (can't escape from torts) crossed the road and at that time a car was turning into the path of that kid. Fortunately the driver managed to stop in time but instead of driving off recognising it as a vicissitude of life she instead decided to chastise that kid -bear in mind that he was in primary school and children may not be able to comprehend the nature of their actions including the consequences <-- more torts talk, sorry guys. It was just so disturbing to witness it, because I really felt as though her anger was so unwarranted, I mean what right does she have to speak to a child using distasteful language (we're talking about f**k), it is no wonder that kids these days are growing up ill mannered if they're exposed to this at such a young age. Another thing, aren't pedestrians giving priority when it comes to using the road, I may be out of touch with the Driver Knowledge information but I distinctly remember that you should give way to pedestrians- Always and if I bring in my torts knowledge again, a driver owes a duty to a pedestrian who falls under a reasonable foreseeable class of plaintiffs albeit a negligent one. One more thing to cap this off, I really hate it when I'm at a zebra crossing and cars just zip by as if I don't exist, what's worse is when you make eye contact, I feel like throwing rotten eggs/food at them when that happens or something to vandalise their car so they can at least suffer some degree of humility.
Anyway, onto a lighter topic and good news. Better, Dandelion and Iced Trees visited my uni today. Ahh it's so good to see my high school friends because it does get quite lonely. Thank you guys for coming, you made my day, just ask the people who I was with when I found out you were visiting.
