In with the Rooster

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

We are now in the year of the Rooster... hey, that's exciting, that's my year! They say that people born in the year of the Rooster tend to be prideful. Am I prideful? Hmm, does advertising my personal life over the internet make me prideful?... Maybe! But it's nice to know that my life is characterized by one of the seven deadly sins... I think I'd rather be a Monkey!

Moving on: I saw a girl on the city bus last night, she had a broken nose. It reminded me of my cousin. You see, about 2 weeks ago, his car beat him up. He was tooling down the highway when the airbags in his car suddenly deployed for no reason... how does that happen?!?! Anyway, the force from the airbags cracked his windshield and bashed his nose. He was actually very lucky that he didn't get into an accident... or was he? Apparently, it is very expensive to get airbags replaced. Not only do they have to have the sir sucked out of them, they must be reinstalled and the dashboard must be replaced. And in my cousin's case, the windshield as well (get this: right after this happened, a cop pulled him over and gave him a warning to get his windshield replaced). Anyhow, his insurance will not cover the costs of the repairs: he did not get into an accident! I believe that my poor cousin is considering pressing charges. However, I am told that big car companies are bound to have big time lawyers and that they are not prone to settling. Apparently, if this issue is pursued, my cousin will most likely end up in court.

But what do I know? I know nothing about law!
