The Texas DPS sucks

I already know how to run it better.  Bring your own selfie.  Imagine how much time that'd save?

Tomorrow will be one month with an expired license so I finally got around to renewing it today.  Also I have something I need to get notarized and mailed by the 20th, and even though a cop will look the other way for an expired license, a notary public will not (SPOILER: it's a ticket [my first]).  It still expires on my birthday instead of six years from today as if to say, "Fuck you procrastinator; you will find no solace here!"

I tried to look like hell for my picture.  I'm sick of bouncers squinting at my ID before they acknowledge that the person in the picture could possibly have degraded into whatever stands before them.  On the topic of looking like shit, there were like no attractive people at the DPS.  Texas has a DPS instead of a DMV because of our commitment to safety.  It's one of the pillars of our society, along with guns, binge drinking, and Tex-Mex.*  Please don't think I'm talking about these activities in a disparaging way, I would die without breakfast tacos.

Anyway, back to the unattractive people.  Assuming the sample I saw today was an accurate representation of drivers in the greater south Austin area, I am 95% sure that only between 1.1% and 5.7% are good looking.  (That is 6 out of 213 for those of you keeping score).  Most everyone had a tattoo or small child or combination of the two.  I'm not saying tattoos make you ugly.  Children do.  I don't know why I even brought up tattoos.  I guess I've never looked at somebody and found them unattractive then reconsidered my judgement upon seeing their tattoo.

So maybe I'm in a new era of getting shit done.  Blog post everyday.  Maybe I'll stop being controlled by crippling doubt and show people I have a blog.  3 posts is a healthy back catalogue right?


*I am convinced that Tex-Mex poses a far greater risk to public health than barbeque, though I lack the data to support this claim.
