It was a better day

It was a better day today. I was not yelled at and my customers were okay.

Man, it's hard being a personal shopper.

In other news, I am now at a loss with regards to xmas gifts. I don't roll around in diamonds like those scientists so my budget is pretty limited. What does everyone want this year?

Does anyone want this?

How about this?

Everything went wrong

Today was a bad day.

Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong today. I don't know how or why it turned out this way but it happened.

Plus, the only thing i ate all day was one donut. I worked from 6 am to 6 pm having eaten only one donut at 5:40 am. I'm exhausted beyond comprehension.

I hoping for a better day tomorrow.

7 more days....

It's Sunday again

I'm 8 days away from going to a schedule where I can wake up one hour later. I am 8 days away from having slightly less responsibility.

But before this nightmare ends, the last two days of this damn endeavor will be extremely painful. If it's just painful, I'll be happy. But if my shitty luck holds, it will probably psychologically horrifying too.

GAH!

Oh well. Happy Sunday to everyone else.

H1N1 and why dumb people are saving lives

There is a lot of talk about H1N1. Actually, there was a lot of talk.

The vaccine issue and whether or not people should get the damn thing is confusing some people.

I heard some nurses the other day saying that they do not want to get it. But of course, they got the seasonal flu. This Boggles and Yahtzees the mind because it's basically the same fucking thing. If the h1n1 was developed in time, they would have integrated it into the seasonal flu shot anyway.

In any case, I'm happy that people are refusing or declining the shot. That means that my family and I can get the shot since more will be available. If people who didn't get the shot and go into respiratory failure and die, sucks to be you.

I have decided that I will no longer aggressively endorse vaccines. I am not in the business of saving people's lives. I'm in the business of saving my peoples. So sucks to everyone else's assmar.

Internetz

I am still mourning the loss of a big part of the internetz a few days ago.

Sigh...

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it doesn't affect you.

I'm headed to work

But before I go, I need to write the quote of the week.

"You look like a sad clown hooker"

Beautiful.

Guess what

Guess what time I have to start work tomorrow?

5 am.

Rock on.

No thanksgiving for me. :(

Mythbusters

I'm glad the Mythbusters were at the White House. It was also nice of Obama to acknowledge them.

Food Culture

Recently, I came across an interesting article regarding one southeast asian people's take on another southeast asian dish.

"Food is the biggest problem for the Chinese tourists, who usually complain that Korean food is not fatty enough for them. "

I found this interesting. I have never heard anyone complain that their food is NOT fatty. I have heard people complain about a particular food being too fatty, too spicy, too salty, etc but never this...

Gobble Gobble

I used to love Thanksgiving. It was one of my favorite Holidays. However, in the last few years, I have not been able to celebrate with family.

I am either working that day or flying somewhere. Last year, I spent Thanksgiving at the airport and in the air. This year, I will be at work.

So once again, I will miss Thanksgiving. I envy those of you who will be eating Thanksgiving turkey or steak with your respective families. I wish I could be home that day, watching the parade and eating food all day. Sigh....

I look forward to the day when I can take back Thanksgiving again.

Horoscopes are bogus

Look at my horoscope for the day:

You're having too much fun to believe your luck! It's one of those days when you can tell that you're in the middle of something pretty big, but others might not yet share your trust in fate.

WTF.

Muzak

Music I'm listening to right now:

HERE

Hell On Earth

I'm walking through hell right now.

I'm hoping this nightmare will end soon.

Glee: Brad

So they finally acknowledged the piano player in the show. Brad is apparently his name. They still haven't explained what the hell he's doing there. My theory is that he is a pervert.

Look at him checking out Rachel. Creeeeeeepy.

SRRRREEEEP

I couldn't sleep last night. I woke up a 2 am, tossed and turned till 5 am when I got up and went to work. Ugh. I feel terrible. I have a stuffy nose and I am officially sick.

I hope I survive the week.

Models

These people must spend hours getting ready to go out.

Congratulations

Congratulations to the President of the Philippines for winning the fight yesterday over Cotto. It was glorious. I hope he knows something about politics...he graduated from Harvard right?

I'm sick

I have some kind of sickness. Sadly, I can't call in sick tomorrow. I gotta work.

Sucks.

4 Random Encounters of the Day

1) I went to the grocery store and at the checkout, the cashier asked me if i wanted the complimentary carry-out service, which involves some teenager bringing your groceries to your car and load it for you. Do I look that old? Do I look weak and helpless? I was insulted.

2) I just saw a limo pull up to Mimi's Cafe. Do you really need to take a limo to Mimi's Cafe?

3) One of the major intersections near my house is becoming pan-handling mecca. Today, I saw a total of 20 people pan-handling. This is not a hyperbole. TWENTY PEOPLE.

4) I was trying to drive through a parking lot but my progress was impeded by two inconsiderate zaftig women. The two women side by side filled up about half the width of the road. They were headed toward McDonalds. They shouldn't go into McDonalds.

Mysterious Stranger

Who is the piano player? They never explained that "character" in the show. He just shows up to play the piano and then mysteriously disappears. Is he a teacher? Is he Mr. Schu's secret boyfriend? Is he Jazz Club's teacher? Who is this guy? And it's strange that he's available anytime anyone wants to perform... Is he some strange guy living in the basement of the school? Is he the Phantom?

Grace

I have many bosses. There is one particular boss who is liked by everyone because he's a really decent and nice guy. He is courteous to everyone and extremely professional.

I found out today that this guy is actually a girl.

I kept referring to him to my other mid level bosses and they were confused. They never knew the person I was referring to. After some time, another person said, "dude, he's a she!"

Now, after speaking with some people, I found that I'm not the only person who thought this lady was a guy. Everyone that met her for the first time thought she was a guy. She is a bit zaftig and I just thought that he/she had gynecomastia. The voice is "neutral" in the sense that you couldn't tell on the phone whether it was a man or a woman. Her hair cut is short and manly. Everything suggested that this woman was a man.

Today, I was reminded of the adage, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Actually, I would say that don't assume a person is a particular gender until you check the chromosome.

Excitement.

I get the day off tomorrow. Sure I have to work Sunday and it's going to suck harder than a Dyson Vacuum cleaner but whatever.

Tomorrow I get to sleep in, which means I don't have to wake up at 5am!!

WOOOOO!!!

Wheel Chair Glee

So I watched the new episode of Glee and I thought it was pretty good.

I liked it because the wheelchair kid is kind of a dick with a chip on his shoulder. I liked it because he defies the Hollywood-stereotypical handicapable archetype aka unrealistic idealistic saint in a chair.

I'm glad that Artie ditched the azn girl.

Oh and I thought that Rachel won that diva off. Even if Kurt sang perfectly at the end, he still can't match the powerhouse that is the Rachel character. Damn she's good.

The next episode looks good too. I hope they start singing other musicals.

Preggers

I just talked to someone who was pregnant 21 times and gave birth 11 times.

What----the---fuck....

Seriously, is this necessary?

Mystery!

I am intrigued by a mystery.

Someone took a bloody shit in the bathroom at work.

It was gross. I was going to post a picture of it but it's so gross, I couldn't do it. (Plus, I'm eating right now and I don't want to look at it again). I'll just describe it.

Picture in your mind's eye a toilet covered in red, viscous fluid. Some of it is dripping off the seat, little by little, bit by bit. Imagine a white tile wall befouled by dookey patches and blood. Imagine me fighting off nausea as I turn around and run out the door.

Who could have done such a thing?

It takes a lot of effort to get shit on the fucking wall. I can't imagine how you can do it. Do you just shoot your shit while standing? If you know, let me know.

In any case, in my unprofessional opinion, I think this person needs help. There is some kind of lower GI bleed going on that may be more than just hemorrhoids. Bright red blood per rectum can be a bad sign.

The question is, who is bleeding from the ass? I looked around my workplace to see who it could be. But everyone looks innocent. Who took a bloody shit? WHO???!?!

Sesame Street

Interesting list of Sesame Street controversies.

Surviving

I survived without getting totally killed. But tomorrow is another day of...work. So let's break this shit down.

I woke up Monday at 7 am. Started work at 4:30 pm and worked till 5:00 pm today. And I start work tomorrow at 6:00 am.

You're probably wondering, "are you a fisherman?" No I'm not.

Like I said, being a sales associate is tough work.

Ruining the fucking day

It sucks when work starts at 5:00 pm. What the hell. All day, you are preparing for work. And then you work the graveyard until the next afternoon. It seems terribly wrong somehow but I have to do it. I have to get through this bullshit of a lifestyle. Oh well, I guess it could be worse.

I think I would be happy if I knew when my next FULL day off is. I don't even know. Goddamn this schedule is too hard to comprehend. I'm pissed.

Tomorrow morning, you may not see a post from me. The reason being I'm probably working in the wee hours until the afternoon. I hope to be back in my $100 bed tomorrow night. Please, let this be somewhat painless! Pray to the gods for me.

Fats

I hate it when people give you margarine although you asked for butter.

It's another one of my pet peeves. They are NOT the same thing people!

First of all, they taste differently.

And second...well, do I even need to go on? They don't taste the same!

I always have to ask, "Can I have butter not margarine?" Only then will I get the appropriate condiment for my buttermilk biscuits. The chemical make up is different. My body reacts differently to these materials.

Perhaps I'm stuttering? But these two words do not sound remotely the same! Do I have a thick accent that I am not aware of? I ask my culinary friend, are they the same? Can you substitute one for the other easily during gourmet cookoffs?

Why do they torture me so! Give me my BUTTER!

Glee OST: Addendum

My favorite tracks so far:

Don't Stop Believin'

Take A Bow

No Air

Keep Holding On

Defying Gravity

Halo & Walking on Sunshine

It's My Life & Confessions

Friday Mashup

I hate it when they give you a ton of work on Friday. To the people giving out work, do YOU want extra work on Friday? Fuck you assholes!!!!!

In any case, I just thought I would mention something again. I think I posted it before but here is a rant:

Right turn has the right of way if the person making the U turn is attempting to turn without a protected left signal. So FUCK YOU to the guy who tried to cut me off. Fucking retards.

These cocksuckers need to get a ticket. Why do I get a ticket? I don't deserve one. I'm trying to help society. But these assholes don't deserve it. Yeah, that's right.

Changing subjects.


Why does Sony suck so much these days? PSPGo was launched in NA a month ago and in Japan recently and news ain't so good. The machine just sucks. It restricts players even more and it's more expensive. WTF? Haven't they learned from the Atrac3 debacle? Why do they continue to make Jesus cry? Does Sony make any good products any more? I mean, their music players are a joke now, the TV's are mediocre and not so amazing for the price, the computers are no better than the competition and their phones suck ass.

I wrote a more extensive rant a year ago (that's right) but I never posted it. It was after I visited the Sony tour in Manhattan. Maybe when I finish that, I can post it someday. But in short, Sony is mediocre at best these days and is not getting any better. Everyone buys Ipods, Samsung pwns tvs, good computers are made by several companies and iphone is king.

I write about Sony because I used to be a Sony whore. I'll admit it. I was the equivalent to MacFags of today except I loved Sony products (which is better than being a MacFag IMO). They made quality products that were innovative. Now....they're just...blah. I own a Sony TV lcd and I only bought it because I couldn't afford the Samsung equivalent. You believe that shit? 10 years ago, I wouldn't touch Samsung with a 10 foot pole. Now, Samsung TVs are premium brand and shit.

Long story short: Sony, you suck.

Glee OST: Review

It's good. I don't know why. These are all remixes but most of the songs on the list are pretty good.

I am not ashamed to say that it's the CD of choice in my car right now.

But here's what sucks dick. I hate it when these supposed collections leave out a huge list of musical numbers in the show worthy of CD treatment. When am I going to get the rest? Will I even hear the rest? All I could say is, BOOOOOOOO. Give me perfection!

I hope that "Volume 1" doesn't mean this is it for Season 1. I'm hoping "Volume 2" will make up the rest instead of Volume 2 being music from only Season 2, etc. Just give us the full compliation assholes! There are approx 16 other numbers that are missing!

Child Abuse

These fucking morons.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find someone with dermatographia so I can write Bible verses. It would be a counter-miracle.

I think I'll be seeing a lot of people in hell when I die. These parents are going straight to the hot place.

V: The review

I watched the new V and I give the pilot a 7 out of 10. It was decent, but most of the "big reveals" have been done before and they're nothing new.

The other reason why I gave it a mediocre score is because none of my "list" suggestions were in the pilot. There is, of course, potential to see them in the future but for now, they had nothing.

1. No sparkles...yet
2. No nude body suits...although i imagine Lisa will get as naked as possible without breaking censorship laws.
3. Michael Ironside is nowhere to be found
4. No alien weapons yet.
5. No alien baby coming out of cooch
6. No mexican guy whose father fought with Zapata.
7. No medical students
8. No grandma
9. No paprika
10. Anna didn't eat anything....yet
11. No SHADES!!

I thought out of the entire list, we were going to see some crazy shades but alas, nothing. Oh well, there is always next episode.


I think the show needs a true badass. Morris Chestnut is okay but every time I see him on screen, I'm reminded of Under Siege 2. And Scott Wolf is too boy bandish. We need a tough as nails badass that is feared by the Visitors.

Growth

This blog has served as a means to vent, rant and rave without getting me fired, killed, lynched in real life. Historically, this blog had maybe two or three readers at most. Back in the day before my long hiatus (which I may talk about in a future post), I had about 4-5 readers. 4 of them were friends, the one reader from Indonesia was an unknown.

I only made this blog public because I wanted to rant and rave to friends that were very far away. It allowed me to write at any time of day and it allowed my friends to read it whenever they had time. I could call them and talk about this stuff but that would mean figuring out when to call, etc which is an annoyance i didn't and don't need. Google blogger was simple and effective and can be accessed without hassle. All I have to is write. I didn't have to manage.

Now that I have been writing again more frequently, I noticed a returning visitor. The tracking/spying devices do not give enough specifics to figure out who it may be. Honestly, I don't really care who it is. However, I have one question though. Why would you read this blog?

This blog isn't about anything. It serves no real purpose outside of my friend circle. So I wonder, why waste time here? I read my friend's blogs because I am interested in how they are doing. However, I don't randomly read strangers blogs daily unless they provide some sort of purpose like daily food recipes etc. So that's why I'm curious.

Or perhaps I'm out of touch with the modern age? Is voyeurism part of the cultural zeitgeist at large?

End of Days

The end of the week marks the end of my "relaxed" ways, as I dive back into the trenches of ugly work. I am not looking forward to it and I'm feeling a bit blue.

I really don't enjoy what I'm doing right now because it's really tiring.

I realized I haven't found the happiness that would sustain me throughout my life. Perhaps I need to get married. Perhaps I need this or that. The problem with these supposed solutions is that they could backfire big time.

I don't need more responsibilities. I don't like responsibilities period. I don't know why I went into a profession with so many fucking responsibilities.

The people who give me "advice" about solutions for life (marriage, house, car, career, etc) never talk about money required to sustain those things.

Money is a weird thing. As you acquire more and more of it, you require more and more. This shouldn't be the case.

I was talking to my friend the other day about people surviving on $16,000 US dollars a year. They are below the poverty line but they get by. I make about twice that but I'm having trouble having any money left over by the end of the month.

Why is that? Well, it turns out my monthly bills come out to about 1500 dollars. I live in a modest unfurnished apt and I have a computer. I have to drive in cali so I have a Honda Fit. Food, gas, and loan payments suck out the rest.

I don't know how others do it. I don't know how they get by and I can't. All of my colleagues are in similar situations and yet they can party all day and night. Next year, I may have to do what I was thinking about doing, which is to move back in with my parents.

I found that if I move back, I would be saving about $14,000 a year. I don't mind going home. I don't fight with my parents. I get free lodging and mooch off the food. With the money saved, I could start paying off more of my student loans. At this point, I see no other option. I need to take any and every advantage I could find.

So come July of next year, I'll be living with parents and throwing parties every other night. Rock on.

Why am I never asked?

As I looked into this new "V" series, I found that the producer/production team asked a bunch of people about the memorable moments of the original V so that they can incorporate some of them into the series.

They made a crucial mistake in not asking me. I don't know how long the series will run but there is still time to incorporate my list.

Here is my list of memorable V moments:

Why the fuck is she sparkling?

1. Sparkling Deus Ex Machina Doomsday ending (totally crazy ridiculous but it's the easiest ending they could find)

Semi nude body suits

2. Semi nude body suits that everyone got when they were frozen for food processing. It was the closest thing to nudity on prime time in that era so it was huge.


3. Michael Ironside. He is the badass. I personally think that he could return.

The over the shoulder firing pose = Classic V action pose

4. The holding the shoulder while firing the laser pistol pose that every alien AND Marc Singer did in the series.

5. The reptile baby crawling out of the human teen slut's cooch

6. The mexican dude eating a raw onion.

7. The medical students licking the boots of the traitor

8. The grandma who is too much of a diva for her own good

9. Paprika of death


Seriously, you have to watch this video.

10. Diana eating live hamsters, mice, birds, etc.

11. Awesome shades.

V

I'm curious about the new "V". From the trailers, it looks like they are going to take over earth with sexiness as their weapon. And we know where sexiness leads to...interspecies breeding.


The alien baby will come out of the womb and stick the nasty ass tongue out like in the original series. And the vag juices will be green. Gross. And I thought human births were nasty.


The weapons of the original V were really cool...especially the pistols.

I don't count the "second season" because I really think the series ended with "The Final Battle" along with the biggest deus ex machina in TV history. A halfbreed girl uses sparkle power to stop the doomsday device? Oh come now...

Happy Xoliday

Now that Halloween is over, we can focus on the real holiday. Sol Invictus' holiday is coming soon in December and the mad rush to give gifts to people we don't really know will begin. (Seriously, is he/she really your friend? Why do you think buying gifts for people is hard work? It's because we don't really know anyone.)

I went to a wedding several years ago I thought someone gave a perfect gift. I hope that I too may be able to give such a thoughtful gift someday.

That gift was a gift of prayer.

It's so simple yet worth a trillion dollars more than whatever you were going to purchase for this holiday of the Sun. Alas, because I follow the pagan ways, prayer as a gift option is out of the question.

However, I can do the next best thing. I can make a donation to a worthy charity in your name!

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Do you really need me to give you a Nespresso Machine for your home? Or would you rather have me help a noble cause in your name?


What's that? Oh, you want me to give the donation in your name? Okay, that's what I'll do.

I am sending a generous contribution of $410 to the State of California and the California Highway Patrol. As you know, the state is in financial crisis and is close to bankruptcy. All socialist programs like public schools, fire dept, police, subsidized higher education, etc are in danger of shutting down permanently. I don't want to see that happen so I will contribute a chunk of my salary to help all of those people.

Done and Done!
