For the first two years of my existence in Atlanta, I have been a faithful user of public transportation; mostly due to lack of a car. However, I have recently lucked up on a vehicle, and have been taking advantage of it's services despite rising gas prices. My one opposition? The fact that I only know the city by the Marta buses and trains I used to ride.
I've been spending the last few days running in circles as soon as I hit downtown. LOL. I only have a cursory knowledge of the area, and all its one way and side streets. It was cool getting lost the first few times, because that's how you discover new interesting things. However, it gets old when it's raining and you are stuck in traffic with a million cars on your ass and won't let you get in the fucking right lane that you need in to make the appropriate turn so it doesn't take you 20 years to arrive home and you still have time to cook dinner, go to the gym, and buy that damn belt you've been putting off.
Shit.
Hopefully, this weekend will be more enjoyable. I might just end up a Sunday driver, pulling out the chassie only for weekends and special occasions, like old people scared to cross their threshold for various illness they make up in their heads to impress friends and close relatives.
