Story time

So the last post I made was really just a joke to bug a friend. Here is the actual post I wanted to make today, and its a 2 for 1 special. Since I am a fan of reading when there are pictures, I made sure to do spot on sketches of each one.
Story #1: I almost ran over a guy on a bike
So there I was, driving in my man-jetta the other night with my roommate. It was late in the evening and we were going to get a late night burrito. I stopped at a stop sign just two block west of my apartment. I look left and right, see nobody coming, and proceed to go through the intersection...while half way though it, my roommate yells "BIKE BIKE BIKE" I slam on my break and 3 feet in front of my is a stupid kid wearing all black and gray clothes, riding a black colored bike with no reflectors, staring at me like a pissed off deer in the head lights. Now normally I would think the kid would be justified in his anger since he almost got run over, however, what an IDIOT! who rides their bike through an intersection when they are wearing all black and are at a poorly lit intersection. The dumb kid darted out from behind a car and there was no way for me to have seen him coming. So basically, I don't feel bad having almost committed vehicular homicide.

This is basically identical to the situation except he kid had almost all black clothes. The grey spots on the corner and top are the sidewalk :)

Story #2: My personality turns off women
I might have told this before, but I still think its funny. So there I was (by the way, every great story should start with "so there I was") at my old job, a call center, sitting around talking to a few friends. I was teasing them that they were my older brother's age but that they still had the same job as me. At the time I was just working on my bachelors degree so it was fun to tease them. One of the guys, having met my brother before, started to tease me by saying that my brother also was married and had his first kid when he was my age. THEN suddenly, out of nowhere, this women slowly rolls out of her cubical and into view, and says to me, "Eric, maybe because you joke around a lot, and aren't always serious, well maybe its your personality that turns off girls." She then slid back into cubicle and out of view. I was speechless. Firstly, who says crap like that, secondly, the way she popped in and out of the conversation was just crazy. It kind of reminded me of how Jon Lovitz disappears in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK8vVk4_n2Q

I look pretty handsome in this drawing right?
