A video-game in real life

Since insomnia has taken over my life, I have decided to update this blog at 5am after 3 consecutive episodes of Lost.
Jetman is a game application on Facebook where your character is a spaceship moving through a cave. Objective of the game is to avoid the bricks or obstacles that come in your way and score as many points as possible. Driving a car in Cyprus is pretty similar to that game. The obstacles are usually cars that are parked either on the left lane of the street (if it is a two-lane street) or half-parked on the sidewalk and half in the street (if it is a one-lane street). At the same time, you have to be cautious not to hit people who think that they have the right to cut in front of you, just because they are in a hurry. Like Jetman there is no end to the game..you win a battle every time you reach your destination, but you never win the game. Of course the thing that annoys me the most is that a fair amount of Cypriots will drive a luxury or sports car well worth over 30,000 Euro, they go to cafes and pay 5 Euros for a coffee but yet they will not pay 2 Euros to park their car in a parking place. They just throw it in the middle of the street. Because, you know, here in Cyprus it is not healthy to walk for 2, 3, 4 or 5 minutes. You have to park your car right outside of your final destination. And in the case you don't find somewhere to abandon it, who cares just leave it in the street and put the parking lights on. I guess people think that if they do that, they are covered by the law.
Which brings me to another subject..people driving and talking on their cell-phones. Please everybody, buy a headset or a bluetooth and use it. It just makes life so much easier. Or if you are not willing to do that, please don't use the loudspeaker.

Okay, now that I got everything out of my system, maybe I can go to sleep.
