Asian Mailman

Asian Mailman

The first thing I'd like to so is that this is by no means meant to offend neone..but if it does, I'm sorry. So I was sitting waiting to get some documents and the mailman came into where I was waiting and I realized the mailman was Asian. I've never seen an Asian mailman before, there's always a first time for everything. However, the wonderful Asian Mailman is not the point of this blog.

I had been waiting for these documents in a semi-crowded business and after the crowd diminished I was STILL waiting. While I was waiting I've come to the conclusion bureaucracies...are very VERY irritating and ANNOYING! For those of you unfamiliar w/what a bureaucracy it's (i'm not trying to undermine anyone's intelligence just trying to be informative) it's " [an] Administration of a government chiefly through bureaus or departments staffed with nonelected officials...[m]anagement or administration marked by hierarchical authority among numerous offices and by fixed procedures" (Courtesy of the American Heritage Dictionary).

All this going through the middleman is really annoying, the filing and sorting all to do one thing i've had just enough w/it. In fact i think Futurama did a good job of displaying such things. Here watch this:



Long story short...I hate the DMV

Silent Speech

Over the past few years I've come to many conclusions but one I've recently decided to let resurface is the constant fact that no one listens to me. Don't get things twisted I'm not some loser who has slipped into the social outskirts that is obscurity I'm merely referring to when I give advice and encouragement to people. It's one of the reasons why some people view me as such a positive person. However when I seem to give advice to people they never seem to listen, i'm not claiming to be the uber awesome and all knowing guru but I'm usually right in my advice giving. When people do the opposite and realize i'm right they're all like ooo...I should have lisened to you. Well duh!

Then there's my classic encouraging...I'm always helping someone through their difficult times. When they are all like "oh no i can't do this" or "i feel like i'm this" or blah blah blah. I say nonsense (if possible) and encourage them saying they will get through something, or they will find the answer, or do something right, or whatever needs to happen. And of course it happens and they say oh well gee *insert what I said in the first place* and I always respond "see" or "i told you that" One would think after all these years people would heed my advice...but alas no...so while I shant slip in to social obscurity I will certainly consider not telling people things anymore. It's not like they ever listen

Edit: Not moments after posting this blog did i encourage and give advice to someone...*sigh*

Ooooo...Hostility!

On the way back from dance class today this woman got on the bus and from the moment she got on the bus to the moment she hobbled off she had this awful frown and glare. And I thought about all the other people I've randomly seen walking around like the world just shot and killed their puppy. They just seems so mad w/life and angry at the world. How can you just walk around like that? When pepole are crazy angry it's scary, concerning, and very uninviting. How can their mood to change if they don't cheer up. At least when people are crazy happy it's only weird and perhaps slightly annoying but this frustration that some people carry just seem so blah.

Nothing can ruin a day quite like seeing some one who looks so angry for such a long time, especially when you are having such a pleasant day. Also being angry for a long time can have negative effects on your health and even shorten your life. Why risk all of that just to be pissed off at the world. I'm not saying that you can't be angry or saddened, or depressed at all because it's life you're bound to feel that way eventually. Just acknowledge the feeling, feel it, and depart from it! So please for you own health try to be happy. Even if your not fake it you might be surprised how after faking happiness for a wee bit you will may trick yourself into being happy.

In fact let's try it now. Today is President Bush's Birthday (bleh)...so take a breath and put on your smile...

Well I Was...

Today I awaken feeling refreshed. I had slept an hour past my normal time and there seemed to be back to back episodes of Foster's on earlier. For those of you who are familiar with my rather dreary summer days of accomplishing nothing, feeling useless, and being unable to obtain a job...today was obviously a good day. I felt as if things were going well...but as they say if something is too good to be true it usually is. I found myself suddenly facing a problem to which I had no response. It's not that I wasn't aware of its existence I suppose, it's just that I hadn't really felt that way. Needless to say I'm glad it was brought to my attention but the timing was just kinda unfortunate...seeing how as today was one of my few descent days...But alas...what can you do?

Reguardless

I find that sometimes personal beliefs seem to get in the way of support a lot. I'm speaking more so on the level of friendships right now than anything else. What triggered this latest rant by yours truly? Well a friend of mine was talking about one of their friends that was getting married and how it would be a sad wedding. The only "sad wedding" I could think of would maybe a the equivialnt of a shotgun wedding? I mean sad and wedding are just two words that don't really belong together especially after one another. So I was wondering how could a wedding be sad...turns out her parents were not at the wedding. Oh well that makes sense right, your rents not being at one of the most major events of your life that defiantly makes sense. But I didn't recall my friend mentioning anything recently about going to a wedding so i inquired. I don't remember you saying anything about a wedding.

Turns out they didn't go and when I asked why I was even more surprised. Turns out their friend was a lesbian. They said they just couldn't go because they didn't believe in it. My mind flew off the handle practically, not because they didn't believe in it, because that's their own thing...and their own opinion I'm not going to attack that but I think they should have at least been supportive. I mean you don't have to agree with something a friend is doign all the time but if they are happy and it's not life threatening (ie. drugs or alcoholism) then you should support your friend. I mean am I completely and utterly wrong in thinking this?
