i had a fantastic idea that may already be in place but i havent heard it if it is. anyway, theres always times where myself or others like me fortunate enough to have transportation will drive from harriburg to york, or to lebanon and so on. and generally at about the same time someone without that fortune needs to go to the same place or somewhere on the way. oh the irony. so if i made some message board style communication tool over the internet of people planning to go somewhere, offering such ride to someone else; or someone who needs to go somewhere posting where they are and where (or around) where they need to go. that would rock so hard. like im about to go see someone in york, and theres a lover in hbg whos significant other is in york, id drive 'em right with me and not think anything of it. or, a night like tonight im just driving around listening to cd's i could just hop online before i leave and see "Jamie2937: im in downtown harrisburg and i realy need to see my mother in hershey tonight. please call 233-3332 if you can help." fuckin id call that broad up, help her out and go on with my day. or say im drivin to york to look at some cars for sale, ill post up "bcmst3000: im in the h-funk headin to york at 9pm, anyone in between that needs to go to york or back to hbg call 322-2223" and so on and so forth. that would be an actual humanitarian service that is convenient enough that even the laziest asshole can do a good deed without going out of his way. so many people just need a ride to the hospital to visit someone, or they need to go pick up their own car or something. you could even set up schedlued car pools with people you come familiar with. 4 people could live within 2 blocks of each other, and work within 2 blocks of each other, yet 4 cars leave the same place to go to the same place. so there could be like a 'daily route' section where people post their to/from crap and meet other people doing similar and hook up as a result. save some money. meet some people. less cars running at once is better on so many levels. everyone gets there faster cause theres less traffic. theres less of a demand for gas so then the price would drop. plus most people like to do something courteous to feel good about themselves so heres a chance for everyone. for people with cars it may not sound like much, but for the girl who just moved to town, doesnt have money, needs a ride to sign a paper to keep her house, especially when she still doesnt know her way around town, the 10 minutes it would take you to give her a ride could save her life. and who knows, maybe shes hot, you do her a favor, she invites you in for coffee, you know. there could also be like a rating for frequent user, kinda like e-bay. like everyone i give a ride to, they leave a comment for me like "hey hes not creepy, he really helped me out and is kinda cute" whatever, or "this fuckin guy tried to drive me into the woods, never talk to him" which could be a HUGE problem with this. it would have to be an "at your own risk" thing cause there are some freaks out there. but if everyone registers and their name and info is on file with their handle on the message boards, then if you did somethin ill like that you would be so easily tracked that it would be pointless. and realistically there could be more risk just walking. so if anyone has any ideas to throw in feel free to comment. id love to get it started but im broke and incredibly lazy. so if anyone can take this idea and show it to people that could make it happen that would rock so hard. have different rooms for all the different places around the country. and implement some sort of search like you can search thru all people looking for rides today who are in harrisburg, or who need to go to carlisle, etc. that would help so many people out. im sure some corporate asshole will try to turn it into a way to make money and thats not my goal. i mean like if i give someone a ride and they toss in $5 bucks for gas that'd be cool. but im sayin someone who could get this idea goin will try to charge people to sign up and shit which wouldnt make much sense. at least not in the idea of trying to help those in need. if someone is in a bad situation that they cant get a car then how would they have extra money laying around to sign up for somethin like that. damn people and their greed. so if anyone knows who can set that up or how i can while retaining my laziness let me know. oh i just realized something; with a slight change around, a 'fantastic idea' becomes a 'fanatic idea' think about it.
