Is it just me?

I dunno, when I saw this 'Lets get it on' by Marvin Gaye just popped into my head. No one else? Don't even ask how I ended up on this site. And don't judge. I'm just tired.

Shit. Its raining.

I have two large windows in my room. Hardly ever shut my blinds. (Its a problem.) I can hear the rain very well in my apartment. Not to mention the four other windows I walk by while getting ready. It was visibly gray today. And yet, when I stepped outside, this is what I thought:

Prosecutors will announce decision about Zuma's graft charges on Monday. I'm more worried about his past rape charges. Then again, not a lot of people like the guy so I wouldn't be surprised this was a some set-up. He happens to be to busy running for president to worry about his court case, imagine if Obama had been charged with Graft while he was running for president. Can't? Yeah, we can't handle the kind of political drama Africa's got going on.
In Maryland, speed camera's can now be placed within half a mile of school zone's. And they have been. I'm pretty sure I've a got a ticket coming. I live across the street from a school and I see the flash about 5-10 minutes at night. I'm sure once people realize its there, it won't be so commmon, but they are going to make bank with whatever they've got coming just from the past couple days. I'm furious.

Little Speed Demon




I'm turning 20 this coming year and I'd say I've gotten about 1 speeding for every year of my life. The may be an exaggeration, but you'll never catch me in the slow lane. I consider within 20 obeying the law. It doesn't seem to fly with cops.
And then there's Garmin, you all know, that little navigation system we all have pet names for? Mine is Cleveland, don't ask where it came from. I love him. Without Cleveland, I'd still be lost somewhere in Northern VA.
So, what do you get when you put my love for speeding and Garmin together? a new GPS software app called Phantom Alert. Yes, its as cool as it sounds. Phantom alert tells you where where red light traffic cameras, speed traps, and DUI checkpoints are. For $10 a month. Still debating whether its worth it.
Whats really great is analyzing their target market.
'The safety arguments are moot because the target market is so specific. Anyone willing to pay $10/month for a Phantom Alert subscription either pays more than that a year in traffic tickets, or has a vested interest in keeping up habitual speeding. The price point itself suggests a very specific target market. Subscribers are going to speed regardless, they just want to make it a cheaper proposition' - from business pundit
