(ROUND OF APPLAUSE) awww shucks thank you thank you. Yes yours truely has returned. I've been awfully busy (in other words lazy or stuck)lately. But now im back and thanks to a friend I have something to talk about lol.

Earlier in the year when I received my Pell check, my pop said that I should go and aim to get my Driver's License. Now honestly I didnt want to cuz i did't want to spend the money for the lessons and shit but you know what I really wanted to get my license. I called the driving school located in Sheepshead Bay(which by the way has a old bitch who isnt friendly at all. I'll get to that later) and set it up. I paid for the 6 lesson package, the road test, and the 5 hour class. It cost me a total of $285. Now my original instructor name was Bob. He was such a nice fellow. Always friendly, patient for a man his age, and super nice. He told me stories about his wife and his son. He also explained how he got his license, the "good old days", etc. Anyway I took all 6 lessons with him and I learned alot from him. I took the 5 hour class which wasnt as boring as I thought. People explained their experiences driving, and laws of the road, and blah blah blah. Now the day of the road test i signed up for an extra lesson, which cost me $32. and then right after the lesson my instructor drove me to the road test site. I was shitting bricks. Adrenaline was pumping all over uncontrollably. My instructor told me of stories of past students that failed over dumb shit. I can't lie it made me giggle. But I didnt wanna laugh cause I thought it would jynx me into failing. As me and Bob were waiting he told me stories about how the DMV had a quota back in the 70s on how they had to fail a certain amount of people. I knew that happened at some point, but according to Bob they supposedly don't do it anynmore. Anyway their was this big fat guy walking from car to car signing the 5 hour certificate and looked at the my Driver's Permit. I tell you these people here don't appear friendly. Then about 20 minutes later the DMV worker is ready for me. I got out and my legs were so weak. I sat in the driver's seat, put on my seatbelt, adjusted my mirrors, and waited for his instructions. He then uttered "Ok Mr. Westbrook, you may start the Ignition, and begin." I turned on the engine and checked my mirrors but apparently I didnt check my blindspot as i pulled out so I was already penalized 5 points. I signaled left and pulled out. I drove and he said "make a left here" so I turned and signaled as I made the lest on West 36th Street, "make a left here" so I signaled and made the left as instructed on Canal, then as I was driving there was a dead end. It was a path to a circle and there was a box in the middle bolted down. He then said "Ok make a K-Turn". At that point I was nervous. I didnt know how to manuver a K- Turn with the box in the middle. I was stuck and didnt Know what to do. So I just went around it. Then the guy starts bitching at me. "Whats the matter with you?? Your driving in a two way street like that what is wrong with you? He sucked his teeth. Then as I made the turn back on Canal, there was a Stop Sign and I stopped (not complete) and kept driving. He said I passed the stop sign. I didnt wanna argue with him b/c I already pissed him off already. Everytime he bitched all I kept saying was, "Sorry sir" "Yes Sir" "Im so sorry sir" and my confidence went to shit. I pulled up to the starting point and parked behind a bergandy car. He typed w/e he typed on his laptop and said "I felt you were very nervous. You passed a stop sign, you drove in a two way street. I think you need...more lessons." He gave me my receipt and I got out into the passenger's seat very disappointed. I fucking failed. I wanted to punch that guy, but in the end it was my own fault. Bob then got into the car after speaking with the DMV dude, and said he was sorry, he wishes me luck next time I take the road test. I was pissed off inside but put on a smile on the outside. Everything just looked dull to me. I was sad,mad, very disapointed in myself b/c I knew I could've passed if I wasnt so nervous.
On that same day I called the school and asked to sign up for the next available road test. I received a call 2 weeks before the road test. The "Bitch" said that I needed to make the payment by that following monday. So I did and I decided to take a lesson the day before the road test. I set it up and hoping Bob would be my instructor but unfortunately he wasn't. It was this young cool guy in his late 20s. His name was Richard. He was an awesome dude. He talked bout his experiences in Sheepshead, girls, weed, his cab driving days, etc. He told me how the Mafia mistakened him for another guy they were looking for. Oh of course he did his job as far as general rules of the road, what to do in certain situations, etc. His experiences and stories came more toward the end of the lesson. So then I found out that my pop and mom was leaving to South Carolina for my Grandfather's Funeral ironically on the day of the road test. My road test was at 9AM but I wasn't sure if we were leaving in the morning or that night. So I didnt wanna take a risk and not reschedule if that was to happen. So I called the school and explained the situation to the representative on the phone. So I was put on hold and then the Bitch came on. And now you will find out why I call her "Bitch". So the Bitch came on and said, "yes Edwin. Whats going on with your Grandfather?" I explained the issue the same way as I did to the other Representative. She said, "So why did you take a lesson today and waste your time and our time. You basically wasted 34 bucks for a lesson for no reason. If u reschedule ur lesson, it will be $25 bucks deducted from the original cost of the road test which is $60, for each week I reschedule. Don't know bout ur grandfather and dont care so each week its 25 bucks taken off of the 60 you paid. U wanna reschedule or no? Call back in an hour and let me know otherwise you will be penalized" click. Now u see why don't you? Not an ounce of sympathy or compassion. So unprofessional, and rude. I was stuck and unsure of what to do. So When my pops woke up I explained to him what the lady said, and he said that they can't take money from you b/c there were no services rendered. "You let them know 24 hours in advance so its not like its an inconvience. Let em know eddie, if they call themselves penalizing your payment, I got a dam good Lawyer. I will sue them blind. Tell them that Eddie lets see how fast they change their minds." I was so relieved and excited when pop told me that. Then I received a voicemail from the Bitch pretty much telling me that if I don't call by 2PM she will just penalize me 25 bucks automatically. She got me so pissed off. I then called my aunt and asked what time were we supposed to leave for South Carolina and she said tomorrow night around 7. As soon as she uttered the words "Tomorrow Night" I was relieved. I called the Bitch back and told her I'll be available for the test. So for all future drivers going to the Driving School at Sheepshead, beware of the BITCH. She Sounds old so you will know its her.
Anyway getting back,the next morning I woke up at 6:40AM in the Morning and got to the School at 7:45AM as instructed. The instructor drove me back to the road test site and there we sat until about 8:50AM. Before the DMV dude (Not the same dude as the guy at the first road test) and prayed to god that I pass the road test. I got in the car, adjusted my mirror, put on my seatbelt, and waited further instructions. "Alright, you may start the ignition and begin when you are ready." I turned on the ignition made sure I looked at my blindspots, signaled, and pulled out. I drove and he said make a left, the he said make a 3- point turn (K-Turn) I did it with no problem(thank god it wasnt at the same spot as last time). Then he ordered me to parallel park. Done. Then he wanted me to back up and park behind the car parallel to me. I did it ok but I was a lil too far from the curb. I pulled off and started driving, he then told me to turn left, and everytime from that point he kept saying that my turns were too short, that it shud be @ a 90 degree angle and to watch it. I figured I failed. He then instructed me from that point and we were back where we started. I sat there and I kept saying that I knew I failed. I also said to myself that "Maybe its just not meant to be for me to drive." He then stated, "Alright Mr. Westbrook, in a road test you are not allowed to score above 30, and you scored 40 young man." I was mad and sad. I just felt horrible. I failed again.........so I thought.......... "Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt because I think you were a little nervous. He asked me, Am I right??? I replied "Yes sir." He asked "would I be wrong for giving you the benefit of the doubt?" I said "No sir" He then typed some shit and printed out my receipt, "Alright young man sign here. Congragulations heres your license, good luck and be careful out there" "Thank you sir, I really appreciate your consideration, Thank you so much" And there it was. I couldn't believe it, I got my License, my prayers were answered. I was soooooo happy. I wanted to square dance in my shorts lol. I continued to thank god for his guidance and for what he did for me. I Felt overjoyed and excited. I felt so good. Even though I got off the hook, and got lucky, I am forever so greatful. I can't wait to get my first car and start driving. And as for the bitch that did me dirty, YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK. SUCK IT REAL NICE LICK ALL AROUND IT BITCH. MAKE UR BITCHASS CHOKE AND GAG ON MA DICK FUCKING OLD HAG. That concludes my first blog post like 3 months lol. I GOT MY LICENSE! I GOT MY LICENSE! I wish all the future student drivers luck on pursuing their Driver's License.
