Fantasies

Good or bad, most of my current fantasies have nothing to do with sex. Tonight as I was driving home from work, I pretended to have a James Bond-type vehicle. In my mind, I was shooting darts from my car at cars around me. Not all cars, of course, only those with idiot drivers -- so, most of them. One cut me off -- darts from the front right of my car into his tire. Another was riding my ass -- darts from the back into his headlights. I know it's kind of a mean fantasy, and truly I'm not a violent person. But this ridiclous drive back from my Monday and Wednesday classes, in rush hour, brings out the worst in me.

My other big fantasy, and this one has been on my mind for at least the past fifteen years on and off, involves the total collapse of the internet. Sure, I wouldn't be able to continue my blog, but my skills would be in great demand. Virtually (haha, see what I did there?) no one knows how to do research without the help of the internet. I guess computers in general would have to go down for my evil plan to come to fruition. I'd like it if people had to use their brains (and/or my help) to write a coherent sentence. Not that Word is always right, which is why students need my help to some extent, but it gives the illusion of being right, and as we all know, nothing makes people believe you as well as pretending to be right even when you know you aren't.

I'm really a nice person. I just like to dream of my version of a perfect -- or near-perfect -- world.
