  1. Sad. This is exactly why I always carry a gun. Everywhere. You just never know what could happen and I don't want be caught with my guard down. And don't kid yourself and say it could never happen to you because you drive a shitty car. There could be someone who is running from the cops and just needs wheels. There is always someone worse off than you who would gladly kill you and take whatever you have and not think twice. You car is better than someone who doesn't have one.

    I programmed my car doors to auto lock. That way I don't have to think about it and if someone does sneak up on me while I am in the car, it gives me a little buffer zone. It's also a good habit to check your side mirrors when you are stopped too. If they try to sneak up, this can give you a heads up to hit the gas.

  2. Just a quick clarification.

    Referring to Christmas as "Xmas" is not taking the "Christ" out of the word. The New Testament was originally written in Greek and Christ was written as Χριστός or a variation of. The first two letters of Χριστός X and P, or chi and rho respectively, led to the chi-rho monogram.

    This symbol was used by the emperor Constantine in the 4th century. By the 15th century, especially with the invention of the printing press, the Church found this a good way to save costs. By the 16th century this was a common way of referring to or representing Christ. Using "Xmas" is not taking Christ out of it, and it not a way to dilute the Church today. The use of this symbol is rooted in the history of the Church. Xmas should be said as Christmas and not "exmas"

  3. I was in Thailand playing ping-pong in Ding-Dang. A high stakes game in some opium den. Turns out, these aren't the types of guys who like to lose. When I beat them, they beat me. They worked me over good. And this is hard to say. They held me down and shoved a ping-pong paddle up my ass.
