Well, with all the holiday hustle and bustle that I so enjoy, I had an unfortunate event happen on my way home from work Friday night. I was merging into a lane on Route 18 and was continuously hit from behind by a tractor trailer, driven by a blonde, pony tailed, southern hick! I love NJ for all it's diversity, but if you're not from around here, please don't drive here. As always, there's construction lanes all over the place on 18 and you are forced to merge. This guy was clearly not letting me in. But, I saw a break, moved my way in and the next thing I know he was hitting my little Nissan Sentra from behind! I could hear my bumper crunching. He could have said he didn't see me, my car is small, but instead he insisted that I cut him off and hit his truck! C'mon, my little car hit him and caused that damage? Well, as I went over it afterwards I actually started to question what happened, that is until I was telling the guy at the Body Shop what happened and a lady was there to pick up her car and said the same exact thing happened to her and also on Route 18! She said, as I did, that she could swear the guy was hitting her intentionally. And now I don't doubt what I thought happened as well. Of course the officer (men always side with men) said the damage appeard to be my fault and said he was writing it up that way. I get the police report on Wednesday, joy of joys. Anyway, I'm currently carless. Which is never good around the holidays with all there is to do. Going to try and rent a car. But with the lovely $750 insurance deductable I now have to pay, I hope it's not going to cost another leg.
My bumperless car!
The tractor trailer that hit me!
Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too buddy...
Ready or not, Christmas is here! I am ready and anxiously looking forward to the very nice Christmas break from work, my mother, David, and grandmother's visit, and all the fun festivities that take place at Christmas time. At this special time of year, I always think about my love of Jesus Christ. Although, I am not a very religious person (mostly because there is no proof or facts to actually say who is wrong or right), I think that whether or not Jesus is our 
Lord and Savior or just a man who lived a life that we should all try our best to follow, he is loved and worshiped the world over, and he is the only reason we celebrate this wonderful holiday. Since the Christmas songs seem to say it best-- May your days be Merry and Bright! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
