3 blog posts in one week?!? I know! What the fuck?!? so i was over at glomgolds house of love (love of cops, magazine customer service and orange cleaner) and was inspired to compile a list of things i've been pulled over for. no full stop at a stopsign (backroads, 2:30am) speeding (40 in a 35) speeding (98 in 55, 2 more seconds i would have been off the highway, 2 seconds earlier he would have nailed me at 120 in a 55) improper lane change (2 nights into my owning a license, didn't know cops didn't follow speed limits and tried to switch lanes into him) failure to signal (at a fork in the road, i was going straight/right) highbeams in on coming traffic (after midnight, backroads and i turned them off as soon as i saw headlights coming the other way) left rear wheel cut over the corner of one of the double yellow lines while making a left making a suspicious left turn (yep) after that i stopped paying attention for two reasons 1) my friends and i were getting pulled

Veins course sluggishly with caffiene that will eventually settle in the stomach lining that will slowly dissolve away into ulcer. Synthetic coagulated adrenaline brings an artificial sense of awake.
