I got in the taxi, those that serve outside the supermarket and are intended to bring people home with all their groceries in the trunk, I got in it and I realised how I did not put on my seatbelt and how I don't really do such when riding a taxi, how common is it for someone to not do such, I wondered. Then Mother came and sat in the co-pilot seat on where she put on her seatbelt, ok the co-pilot seat is one where I indeed buckle my belt when I get to ride from there a taxi, one feels quite exposed from there.

I finally was in possession of the money required to buy a large pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar's (I say Little Caesar's out loud with Caesar being pronounced with the Classical Latin pronunciation). And I was pretty confident that there wouldn't be a long line at the store on a Tuesday afternoon so I decided to go.

I decided to not take the public transportation for a good chunk of my conmute and walk it all the way, cuz of the Little Caesar's.

It's interesting. You always see these buildings, pavements and signs from inside the vehicle and through its windows; and it's the same route as always, but you do realise more how little the pedestrian is situated in power within the current transportation system when suddenly everything seems larger and you feel smaller.

Gary Numan once realised what kinda power the car gives its driver when he once got in some road rage and just locked everything and drove away on the sidewalk. In his own words:

"When you're in it, your whole mentality is different...It's like your own little personal empire with four wheels on it."

When you have millions of people with this exact mentality all exercising such imposed right of them, you are destroying a city.

I managed to eat five slices in a row, I left the rest for my sister. Typing that made me feel like Adam Sandler in Grown Ups 2 when he explains why he doesn't want to have another child.

I usually fall asleep or I'm just quite drowsy during the morning car ride to school, such was interrupted when the vehicle broke down. Well, it didn't seem to start so we got out and started to push. I don't know from where did a random man come from, but he appeared and helped us push it through the up-hill part of the avenue. Thank him for that.

I'm a weak dud so I had my back against the trunk and I was trying to get it go up, hopefully for it to start again when going down-hill, struggling, most of the pushing was done by the others.

I saw the cars and buses and bikes and everything moving towards us, but I did not felt scared or afraid, I felt powerful even, they would avoid our lane as we made our way through, giving me the chance to stand in the middle of the avenue and see it first-hand as the traffic flowed. The early morning Sun also shined in a beautiful way and the geography around enhanced this new feeling.
