Yeah so about that

So I got my first speeding ticket today for doing 47 in a 35 zone. Wow how lame is that? Its a good thing I didn't get busted on the Highway.
To boot I was in the lamest car in the world. Its a $131.50 This includes funding for a number of things set an arbitrary value. i didn't even get the curtousy warning! No here's your fine. Damn it I didn't give the guy any problems it took me a minute to notice the lights in my mirror but its not like he honked at me. I was watching the kid on the road ahead to make sure I didn't hit him. Then he gives me a little friction for pulling into a parking lot. Hello I acknowledged you by putting on the fourways and its my right to be safely off the road and in a safe public place in case you're a fake. Jeesh white guys don't get breaks either so fuck you

Props to the pimp



When someone mentions a pimp many dirty things come to mind, drugs, exploitation,hedonism. These are some strong misconceptions proliferated by the media. To really understand "The Game" you must first realize that, if you're white, it is very hard to understand unless you are born to or you have an in. Sure Pimps take all the money from their Hos and sometimes a bitch has to get slapped, but that's part of the game and what people fail to understand is that it is a mutual thing."Pimps don't need hos and hos don't need pimps." You see a Pimp is more than some random guy dumping a bitch on the street and taking her money at the end of the night. I personally thought that this was the case and it often confused me as to why a woman would put up with that. But a Pimp is more than that a Pimp is a hos financial manager, best friend and a teacher.
When a pimp goes scouting for a ho he looks for a few things. He looks for the stoner, the waif, the directionless woman. Some may say these men are predadtors and amongst themselves Pimps will readily agree that being a predadtor is how you get a ho. Once a Pimp has a ho he needs to control her mind. Again that sounds terrible, but that's how the relationship has to be if the woman wants to get taken care of. And that's what Pimps do they take care of their hos. They get them off the drugs and away from the gangs. A ho needs to be clean she needs to be smart she needs to be able get that trick and take everything for her Pimp. In return the Pimp is there to protect her; he posts her bail when she gets caught by the police, he puts a roof over her head and feeds her kids, he buys her nice clothes. Sure he takes all of the money for himself and lives a rather lavish life, but its hard work managing for a ho and imagine doing it for over eight hos. That's the way it has to be for the relationship to work if a ho doesn't give the Pimp all the money then how is the Pimp supposed to help the ho if she's in trouble.
A Pimps life isn't easy not only does he have to manage the ho he has to make sure that he doesn't get knocked. Its a challenging game to play and hos are free to choose their Pimps so its the job of the Pimp to make sure shes happy and knows what she's doing. He has to teach her how to turn the tricks how to get the man and most importantly how to get the money.
I have by no means covered every aspect of Pimping and if you want to know more I reccomend a movie called American Pimp. This movie will enlighten you on all that is "Pimpology" and give you some insight from the real Pimps of the world not those "Macks" that you see on TV and in the movies.

I'm very conflicted: Honda Hybrid ::wet condition trials::

I'm sure you all remember my post about my speed records with the Dodge Neon SRT-4. I love this car. Its torquey and has a lot of spirit, it handles like its on rails and the engine sounds aggressive and satisfying. The SRT-4 is a fun car to drive; a real thrill a minute machine. The only problem is we no longer own it. That's right my father sold his fun as hell Dodge Neon SRT-4. To add insult to injury he bought a Honda. On top of my already battered and broken shell he also bought it in Hybrid form and its the color of boogers. I was against it, morally opposed and venomously outraged to say the least....then I drove it.


The first thing I noticed was how far away the front of the car felt to me. The front is actually shorter than the SRT-4's, but because the digital speedo is so far away it felt otherwise. I then noticed how quiet it was, I was still disappointed every car needs to have good sound and this one didn't. I then backed it out of my drive way and noticed that I couldn't see over my headrest, no big deal really, then I tapped the brakes. These fuckers are sensitive right out of the box and it was weird feeling not being able to regulate my speed as precisely as I would have liked, but I must give them props because they do their job well. The next thing I noticed as I started forward were the controls. The controls are fluid and intuitive. Radio and Cruise are conveniently on the steering wheel. Upon my first full stop I noticed that the car shut itself off. I was told this would happen but I was still surprised at how seamless it was, granted there is a slight lag at engine start, but its nothing really. after turning onto a road I floored it and I was not impressed. The hybrid,as expected, has no spirit juice, no go go power, it just accelerated smoothly and boringly. Then I noticed it wasn't shifting. Again I was told it wouldn't, but the CVT transmission baffled me. I understand, fundamentally how it works, but its implementation is rather surprising. The next thing i noticed was seat comfort and ride noise. This is where the car really shines. It is a comfortable and roomy car, that in reality is very small. It is quiet and the ride is serene, yet agile as I commenced cornering and braking tests. To reiterate this car is magic when it comes to handling, It is not as harsh as the SRT-4's rail like reflexes,but it was still able to attack corners with precise balance. I the took it to the highway to see if it really could hang. I merged and jumped the passing lane without fear, then I stuck the pedal to the floor. There it was again, lackadaisical acceleration, but before you knew it the car was approaching one hundred miles an hour and the RPM band was inching closer to the red line. Once again I cannot emphasize enough how smooth that process was! Not once did I even feel apprehensive, the car was very stable and totally without shift shock. The brakes were phenomenal in bringing the car down to only ten miles over the speed limit and it was confident in aggressive lane changes.

To bring my disjointed review to summation. The only thing this car lacks is tire shredding spirit, but it makes up for it in balance, comfort, and handling. I'm sure if this hybrid were to gain a turbo charger it might be the perfect car. I'm still having mixed feelings. I've always felt it was my patriotic duty to buy American, but after this everything I've driven before seems harsh and unrefined. I don't know what I'm going to do.
