The bad part is that the last time the Cavs were in the finals, that was the high point of the Cavs since MJ...
Yeah, even though they are friends, I guess Lebron couldnt handle Manziel being the rock star in Cleveland now. heh

:cry: I'm sick and worked from 12:30pm to 10:45pm today. I only got one break and everything hurts.

:) Made super good money today though. I guess that's a plus.

:idea: So, I woke up today with a yelp. I was dreaming but long story short as I was going to bite somebody I woke up in the middle of it, and well... I couldn't prevent it. I didn't know what was going on. I took a giant chomp at my own arm and now I have a beautiful purple bite mark on my arm.

Sounds like you need to eat before you go to sleep or something :lol:

:x Got a speeding ticket today. I suppose it was just a matter of time with my new commute to work. It was Highway Patrol, too, so there was just no way I wasn't getting a ticket. He was nice though, and told me that because my license is clean he wants me to plead not guilty and it'll get knocked down.

I passed him literally right before my exit, and I sped up there because I was in the left lane and wanted to pass an 18-wheeler truck so I could cross two lanes and take my exit. I told him that, too. He told me to just do 70MPH like every one else, which is funny because the speed limit here is 55MPH.



:lol: One of the things I do at work is put together and ship test kits. They're for workers comp, so the patients are usually older. We use the patients name as a reference on the tracking receipts. It's funny reading the names some times. You read a name and guess what decade they were born in. There was one today with the name Herbert. He was born in the year 1900. Peas and fucking rice, he's 114 years old! He lived through the Great Depression and World War II.

Two options:

1) Get your speedometer tested, bring the report.

2) Dress to the nines, give the DA your ticket, registration and insurance info and say "I would like a full dismissal, and was advised to give you this and to be quiet". It's a flip of a coin, but that has worked for me. Twice.

Well apparently my county has a program going on where if your license is clean then it'll pretty much automatically get knocked down. The cop told me this. He said to plead not guilty and it WILL get knocked down. So that's exactly what I'm going to do. The only thing I really have to do is show up on time with the right papers, not drunk, and dressed decent.

"Knocked down" doesn't equal "No fine".

You have to ask for a full dismissal.

I understand that, but, there's just no way it's gonna happen. A zero percent chance, I'm sure of it. I'll be perfectly happy with the lesser charge.
