Yeah its time to start making decisions, particulary that big one about where I'm taking my life. I know I want to keep on fighting for the heart and soul of the Democratic party. The question is, can I do that without being on a campaign. Can I do that while working at a desk job and just helping out where I can. Can I continue the fight while being out of the game for a year? Will I be able to get back into the game if I'm out of it for an entire year? Thus my thoughts right now. I don't think I can get back into it if I leave for too long. I think I could get hired onto a 2006 race in the next few months and it may just be worth it to hang out at home and see where life takes me, instead of committing to something that will take me out of the game for so long. I'm still going to do the interview, but I should probably just be hoenst and tell them that it sounds like a great job and I would love to do it, but I don't know when the itch is gonna come back and I can't guarentee how long I would stay. I mean campaigns are like crack and once you get that taste in your mouth, you can't stop. Some people do it once and decide its not the drug for them, but I guess I'm just not one of those people. I love being on the ground and figuring it out. Ok, time to go make some decisions.

I just wanted to inform everyone that the section of interstate 64 between Norfolk and Richmond has officially been renamed to "Hell On Earth". If you have any questions as to why, please see my post on road etiquette. All I have to say is that the LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING, not for ambling along. God I hate the summer travel season.

The mail hit today...phone calls are pouring in...the madness really has begun.

If there is one thing that about Virginia that has driven me absolutely bonkers, it has to be the drivers. I have almost been in at least 2 dozen accidents since I moved here 2 1/2 months ago and I have never been in more fear of totaling my car car. So I decided I would write this to inform Virginia drivers of proper road etiquette, seeing as I'm kinda busy right now, this is going to come in installments. Today we will focus on proper usage of the left hand lane while on a highway.

Now the left hand lane on the highway is meant for passing, we were all taught that in driver's ed during our highway driving lesson. Passing means that once you have passed the vehicle to right of you, you do not then sit in that lane because three miles ahead of you there are more cars that you might be able to pass in about 10 minutes. Now, in Michigan and Illinois, as soon as you pass the vehicle you then change lanes back into the right or middle lane. You DO NOT TRY TO PASS EVERY OTHER CAR WITHIN YOUR VISION AND YOU CERTAINLY DO NOT JUST STAY IN THE LEFT LANE FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES. You move to the right and allow the cars that are behind you to pass you if they would like to, that's it plain and simple. It does not matter how many lanes of traffic, this is just how it works and prevents road rage. So the next time you're on the road, think about whether or not you should be in the left hand lane and stay tuned for more rants about Virginia drivers...
