I miss traffic...me thinks?

Up to not too long ago, all now I would be happily sleeping, vacationing, school is out for easter vacation.

Instead I am a rat, in the race, remembering that 2nd place is the 1st loser.

No school means less traffic which at first did not make sense to me because kiddies can't drive, but then I thought about it some more...

Me thinks I miss traffic. Don't get me wrong eh, traffic is bad, but as in all things in life except politics, there are some positives. Here they are listed in bullet points for your ease of reference...

1. Traffic allows you to listen to an entire cd on your way to work. This morning I only got up to track 4 or 5 of my John Legend CD. I was mad vex. Normally I can listen to that whole cd and get what I need to make it through the day. Damn you free flowing traffic.

2. Traffic, like a good mirror, allows for reflection. I have done some of my best thinking in traffic. Maybe it's the diesel fumes of the truck in front that put my mind into a higher state of consciousness, I do not know.

3. Traffic allowed me varying cultural experiences. Depending on who's in front, behind or a few cars in between and how much money they spent on pong, I get to hear music I would normally not listen to. In fact, let me re prhase, music I would never listen to, at least not in this lifetime, given previous broughtupcy and secondary education schooling.

4. Traffic made me sit back and enjoy my surroundings. Sometimes I would enjoy the same set of surroundings for more than 5 minutes at a time.
