As the title states, this post is about an awesome thing. This particular awesome thing is so awesome, in fact, that I have to share it with the world at large. Not only to spread the word about this awesome thing, but also to help me wrap my head around it. Because as awesome as it is, it is the very essence of "...what? huh? WOW!", and I can't wrap my head around it. I need support, I need a shoulder to cry on, I need to get it off my chest. This thing has to be shared.
This story begins, as most weird stories begin, in the town of Lafayette. Now usually when you hear of this particular place, it's in the phrase "Dude, I got drunk/stoned last night. And you know where I ended up? I ENDED UP IN LAFAYETTE". That's not to say it's a bad little town, far from it. It's just strange. Like a wholesome Americana Apple Pie Twilight Zone type place, where everything seems nice at first glance, but it has a strange vibe nonetheless.
I dunno exactly how I ended up there. I guess the cumulation of all the bad choices in my life led up to me drifting through at that exact moment. Like that time I took a sip of beer in the 8th grade, or when I got extra potato chips from the high school vending machine and decided to eat them instead of turn them in to the proper authorities. It all somehow twisted my life around so I'd drive through it at that exact moment.
So what was it I saw? What life changing event in my life did I experience there, and am obviously taking my time building up to? I was in my car, idling at a red light, when it happened. I look to my left and see it. An '07 Lexus GX470. Nothing strange there. Didn't pay much attention to it....at first. But then I hear it. The Rebel Yell, the same airhorn used in the General Lee of Dukes of Hazard fame, coming out of this obviously top dollar Lexus SUV loaded with all the features and accessories. And just to really solidify this fact in my quickly scrambling brains, the woman driving this car hits the horn blares it again while waves madly at some other woman passing in the opposite direction.
I tried putting it together. Lexus. Rebel Yell. That's something I usually hear coming out of a primered up Chevy Nova. It blew synapses. Important circuits misfired. I had no other choice but to roll down my window, fork the horns, and yell "YEAHHHHHH!" at the woman. My vision started to blur soon afterword, and I knew a blackout was imminent. But before I went, I'm sure that woman forked the horns right back at me...and maybe even gave me a wink.
So why did I waste your time writing this little story about something so amazingly stupid? Honestly, I have absolutely no idea, but I had to share it. There are some things you can't keep bottled up, lest they consume your soul and drive you to stark raving madness. I consider this one of those things. And before some of you more judgmental types start throwing out the eye roll emoticons, take a moment to ponder upon what I've seen. If you can make sense of it, if you can divine the meaning and reasoning behind it, I will more than gladly take the brunt of your insults. If not, I at least hope you're able to sleep well tonight. I know I'm not.

Warning!!Dangerous precedent sent in the initial post.A story which could only have relevance to the poster?
Did you have to be there for a significant impact to occur?
Inquiring minds want to know.

That settles it. I'm getting the Confederate flag painted on the roof of my Benz this weekend.
