Blogs are designed to bring feelings of meaning to the meaningless. Therefore, I’m going to start today to be more meaningless. So if you are here for meaning, in search of truth, or value, stick around. You obviously aren’t good at reading comprehension either. Not to worry… Neither am I.
WTFL is designed to be probably a one shot article, but hey… miracles happen.

There are soooo many things this state is good, like crawfish, an endless supply of hot ladies and plenty of mud to keep the Jeep community happy. Consequently there are (soooo many things)2 that we pretty much suck at. Let us start the bidding on the first item up for bid:
Roads.
If our cars could talk, aside from being just plain amazing, what would they tell us? Would the class of car have an attitude that reflected the social class of people that drive it? Would a 1965 Rolls Royce be all hoity-toity vs. a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme spouting out rap lyrics and calling me “honky?” Would my Jeep say “brah” and “dude” all the time?
For the Louisianians, i submit that all cars would be yelling “OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!”, or “Why the hell are you doing this to me?” and the ever popular “Oh! Sunuva…” constantly. Think of it. Potholes, assphault waves, and those fun, rhythmic angular sections of road that go “clip clop – clip clop – clip clop.”
My alignment needs to be checked every three months. I can’t drive down the road and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. I can’t ride to Houston in the back of an extended Ford van without my head constantly slamming into the ceiling. Texas, your roads suck from Orange to Baytown, so don’t let me hear it. At least you are working on it, but geez… finish a project before you add onto it.
Here’s another one. New homes are on the rise. So much on the rise that I can’t roll down any major traffic artery without seeing a sign for some new cottage home or 400 house neighborhood. All being fed by man’s greatest technological achievement, the 2 lane road. We can’t use our roads already due to the fact that everyone decides that NOW is the best time to go to Home Depot or Wal-mart. Our solution? Widen them? Oh hells no… why not put more people on them.
For the record, that’s like trying to unclog my toilet by eating Taco Bell and a few oatmeal cookies.
This state is getting a sum of money larger than Scrooge McDuck’s vault, and where is it going? I pay a truckload of taxes. Where’s my [WARNING: Uffman Term Incoming] ROI?

For those of you who made it this far… Congratulations. Did you find your meaning? Or waldo? Oh, he’s there… he’s there.
