I&#8217;m such a zombie that should I drive, I&#8217;d be a road hazard. While I am pretty much a day person, my brain really only starts functioning after about 9.30am.<br \/>\nI stone in the bus in the mornings. I enjoy stoning. I enjoy observing people on board the bus and looking at the people and things on the streets. I look at other women&#8217;s shoes and go green with envy if I see a pair I like. Sometimes I read on the bus too if I can get a seat.<br \/>\nBut don&#8217;t be mistaken. I do enjoy driving. I love whisking myself from one place to another. It&#8217;s that sense of independence I enjoy. And I love listening to my music and just singing along to it when I&#8217;m alone in the car.<br \/>\nOne of my dreams is to drive an open-top four-wheel drive or a sports car convertible and cruise down the Great Ocean Road in Australia. That would be awesome. Dream dream dream. One day, I must do a road trip like that!<br \/>\nAnd on a separate but somewhat related topic, would you consider a guy a loser if he doesn&#8217;t know how to drive? I was listening to morning radio on Class 95 and DJ Glen Ong remarked that he thinks guys who don&#8217;t know how to drive are losers.<br \/>\nOK, while I admit that I enjoy seeing a guy behind the wheel and find it kinda sexy to see a guy maneuvering his own vehicle, it seems somewhat extreme to call a guy who doesn&#8217;t know how to drive a loser! But what do you think? Is a guy less of a man if he doesn&#8217;t know how to drive?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s just as well I don&#8217;t have a car to drive to work in the mornings.
