I wish my name was Todd, because then I could say, 'Yes, my name's Todd. Todd Blankenship.' Oh, also I wish my last name was Blankenship.

Missed chances

depressing

I completely wasted two perfectly good opportunities to replace my car at someone else’s expense today.

First, while returning from dropping Christine off at the airport, I was nearly sideswiped by a brand new Cadillac. I would have been the other driver’s fault, thusly getting my totaled car replaced with a new one.

Next, while driving across town I nearly T-boned a brand new Volkswagen Passat when the driver (who was having an important conversation on her cell phone at the time) failed to yield at an intersection.

Blown chances, both of them. I though bitterly about this while driving my busted, 14-year-old, dirty, crappy car home in traffic while slowly cooking due to the lack of A/C and functioning driver’s side window. Every sqeak and grinding sound from the brakes was my blown opportunity mocking me.
