			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The alliteration in the title of this post says it all&#8230;sort of. I am in the market for a car and have been keeping tabs on Craigslist for the past month. I probably won&#8217;t actually buy a car until after the summer or even November but I am still looking around and getting a feel for prices.</p>
<p>The point is, please post pictures of cars that you are selling! I have seen so many Craigslist postings where people are trying to sell a car for thousands of dollars but can&#8217;t even manage to post pictures! If someone is going to make a large purchase like a car they probably want to see some pictures of the thing. I just thought this was kind of an obvious fact that one should post pictures when posting an item for sale. Its not like it costs any money to post pictures since there are hundreds of free photo sharing sites like Photobucket and Flickr.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll admit that some people at least try to post pictures. Unfortunately these pictures were taken with some junk 1 megapixel camera built into their Razr flip-phone that they purchased in 2004. Epic FAIL. So the point is, please post good pictures of cars that you would like to actually have a shot at selling!! Otherwise your posting is about as useful as a classified ad in the newspaper. The whole point of the internet nowadays is the easy sharing of multimedia so post up some good lookin&#8217; photos of the car that you are thinking about selling if you are going to make a listing on Craigslist!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe its the fact that my sinuses are horribly infected due to allergies and I have had a fairly constant headache since Sunday. Or maybe its the fact that its Hump Day and I&#8217;m dying for it to be the weekend. The point is, people can really start to annoy you after a while and here are 3 things that have been very annoying today. Mind you, it is only noon:</p>
<ol>
<li>Professors who insist on writing on a green chalk board in white chalk without turning on the lights that are intended to illuminate the white board. I sit in the second row, have near perfect vision and cannot see his writing.</li>
<li>People who eat fast food in class. There is a reason for the school wide policy of no eating in classrooms. People who have been in class for 3 hours are STARVING and your fast food makes them hungry and makes it impossible to pay attention!</li>
<li>I followed a guy on his scooter today for about 4 miles on my way to campus. Let me tell you that riding a scooter is somewhat dangerous and people should always keep both hands on the handle bar. Not only is it state law but the roads in Gainesville are rather bumpy and one bad bump can make you go flying off the road if you are not holding on properly. Anyways, this guy was riding with a hot cup of coffee in his left hand while trying to drive! The speed limit on the road was 45 and he is on a scooter. Is it me or does this seem stupid? There are at least 10 coffee places on campus if you are really desperate for coffee.</li>
</ol>
<p>Ok, ok, thats the end of my rant. Why can&#8217;t people be a little smarter?</p>
