I’m going to Pittsburgh in a few weeks for a Steeler game. Debating whether to fly or drive. I want to fly to save time plus I have a $200 flight credit so it would be free but the car rental was looking expensive as hell.

Cowrker said “just uber or rely on friends for rides”

me: FUCK NO!!!!

I grew up in Pittsburgh with no car. I will never EVER go back to my home town with no car. Simply because of all those cold ass walks and long waits at the bus stop where I told myself:

“One day, one glorious day.. I will have a car!!!”

what are some things you will never do?

"Get ready....for your blessing....."
"Bury me by my Grand-Grand and when you can come follow me"

what about being 99% sure I’ll never be cool with having a sister wife.

not that there’s anything wrong with it…

I would have to walk an hour in the dark to make it to the bus stop to the train to another bus to make it to work on time.

Reading the news somewhat regularly, those two activities seem to always come up with some deaths that I always say I would never put myself in that type of scenario.


Always in the news.

hiking on well-traveled routes is generally harmless if you are relatively well prepared (water, snacks, sun protection).

but we weren’t serious. When the road to the trail turned to dirt I busted a u turn.

I always said I wont die in a way that has people saying “he knew damn well he shouldn’t have been out there”

weeks!!!!

A Boston woman who died last month while hiking with an off-duty police officer she barely knew succumbed to “environmental heat exposure,” according to the coroner’s office, which ruled her death accidental.

Angela Tramonte, 31, flew out to Phoenix in late July to meet Dario Dizdar, a Phoenix police officer who she knew through social media, according to friends.

A day later, the pair went hiking on Camelback Mountain in temperatures as high as 104°.
