dc dmv bs

Oh my god… I took off work early to go down to DMV and fight the ticket I got last time it snowed. The ticket said that hearings where on a walk-in basis between 8:30 and 5:00 Monday thou Friday. I got to DMV at 4:05… and the rude bitch at the counter, in between yelling across the room to carry on a conversation with someone else told me that adjudication closed at 4. Now I expect to be told I would have to pay the ticket, but I was going to try to fight it anyway. Now I’m going to make someones life miserable because I have been treated like shit by DMV personel and managment. I have a call in to the head customer service rep now, and if she can’t help me I’ll tell her to give me the number for the next higher up person. The mayer is going to get a nasty ass letter about this whole situation…. I hate incomitance and red tape and to be treated rudely by the DMV staff on top of that? Fuck that, I want blood now.

a year

when we started I was scared, I did not know what to expect, or if it would work out. In only three months the distance between us would encompass an entire ocean. But after a year, I we are still here, seperated by that ocean but close. Relationships are always hard, but a longdistance relationship makes it even harder. I have not seen C███████ in nine months, though we talk often it is not enough. I hope that I will be in a positon to see more of her soon, but… I miss her. So, today marks the one year anniversary of our relationship, I just wanted to wish her a great anniversary and tell her that I love her…

fat tuesday

Are you drunk? I’m not, too bad, I would have liked to have gone out to a Fat Tuesday party, but had no one to go with. Oh well, I did go out over the weekend to Five with S██████, K–, J– and N——. K– had never been clubbing so, we broke her in with something a little main stream before we take her to Velvet. We went out early as N—— had a train to catch at seven in the morning. The music was a little lacking, too repetitive and flat (yea, I’m a techno snob, no it does not all sound the same.) Drinks where a little expensive, but we all had a good time, The inside of the club reminded me of a lot of the smaller clubs in London, and especially Match EC1—but without the food. I don’t know everything reminds me of something on Europe. I can’t get my time in Europe out of my head—sometimes just driving down the road I will have sudden, very vivid, flashbacks. Out of nowhere I will be recalling every detail of some place in Europe—the inside of St. Chapelle or the hall of the hotel A—– and I stayed at in Milan. I don’t know. Is it just my life is that boring since I got back or what? Oh well, it keeps making me want to go back more and more.

snow regulation

It snowed last night. About four inches. And when I went out to my truck this morning guess what? No truck. They towed it. Now this made me mad. They declared a snow emergency last night sometime and towed me because I was parked on Florida Ave. and Florida is designated as a ‘snow emergency route.’ I was really pissed when I called the police (but, of course I was polite with the lady on the phone.) they told me that I had been towed to the 1800 block of 18th street. I felt much better when I got off the phone thinking that they had just towed me out of the way—ok, inconvenient and such but understandable. Then I got to my truck and started cleaning it off and you know what I found? A $250 ticket for ‘SNOW REGULATION.’ What really pisses me off about this is that two weeks ago it snowed 18 inches and they did not tow anyone off Florida Ave. and the other day they did not tow when it snowed, nor did they tow when it snowed twice in January. I really don’t want to pay $250—that’s outrageous. A regular towing fee would be acceptable, since they did tow me, but $250 is just ridiculous.
