While driving ~

« Be careful of what you wish for » Hmm... I guess there is some truth in that saying after all. Just last weekend (Saturday) I was driving a lot. I went to Tarara Winery in Northern Virginia with Octa for her company picnic. Well, their wines were ok, the white was ok but their merlot was awful. Too acidic for my taste. And they have this dessert wine made from blueberry, which was ok for the first few sips but ended up tasting like fermented bluberry syrup.

Anyway, back to my main point. While I was driving, I was thinking about making another blog, one that's really about thoughts. Deep ones, hahaha, unlke this blog which mostly filled with showbiz reviews ^_^. And I'm going to call the blog "While driving ~" since I think I do a lot of thinking about life and stuff when I drive. You see, when you take the metro you get to read something which occupies your mind and when someone else is driving, you ended up having a conversation with the driver. When you are the one who's driving, with no one in tow, there must be something in that piece of asphalt that stimulates your brain to start pondering.

So we went back from the winery, on our way to DC for our tango class. Quite a long drive, an hour or so on the highway... While driving, I was thinking, "hmm... what should my first entry be in that new blog?" And just like that, I got the answer. Hahaha because I was (apparently) going 77mph as I pass this police car waiting at the road divider. Octa was semi-shouting, "Watch out, there's police." I'm never one to notice the police cars, I don't know why but I had never managed to look out for them. But wait, that police car stood still. So we thought we were fine until 5 seconds later we passed another one (I was already going under the speed limit at this time), which started to follow me and pulled me over.

Welcome to Virginia... where driving 20mph over the speed limit is considered reckless driving and is a class 1 misdemeanor act. Which means, if convicted, I would have done a crime. Definitely blog-quality material, don't you think? Well, after extensive researching on the net and filtering all the biased advices by the lawyers trying to get your money, I think I'm quite OK. I have yet to read anyone actually went to jail for going just a bit over 20mph from the speed limit, but hey... I was thinking, perhaps because they went to jail, they wouldn't be able to access the internet. Is there Wi-Fi in prison? Anybody knows?

Well.. wish me luck. Wait, not now... wish me luck on Nov. 9, my court date.
