$250 dollar Diesel boots

So, I feel guilty.  Right after I got off the plane I went to Diesel and blew about $450 dollars on a dress, boots, and a scarf.  The boots was $250usd in itself.  Usually I don't spend so much money on clothes but I really needed flat boots...without the heel. I have to walk alot this year because of where the company is located, so all that walking hurts my feet every morning.  Which is why I needed the boots.

But $250 dollars?! Really?!!?!?!?!

I've thought about returning them allllllll day because I feel so guilty.  :( 

However, when I go back to China I know they have crappy boots there with horrible designs.  Ugh.
I hate shopping.

ViVa America

Ah..... how beautiful the US is.  How clean the weather, how nice the green mountains are, how tall the trees stand.  So, so, so, nice.

I love you, America.

And I love the availabilty of the internets, the free unhindered speed of surfing the net in the US is equivalent to warp speed in Star Trek.

oh I love you, America the beautiful... how free your internets are.

Apartment Hunting once again

I tend to move every year. That's because I get restless and I haven't found a place I love 100%, so I always think there are better places.  This time, I'm going to look until I find a place I really, really, really, love.  Good thing I'm starting early.

I don't plan to move from this place for at least 2 years... so I'm hoping I'll find some place that I can really settle down in for at least 600days. haha.  However, what I'm mostly concerned about is the neighbors.  How much they remodel, how clean they are, what their hygiene habits are -- really affect the complex.  In the past several years, I've lived in both good and bad places.  It's really about the people. 

Taxi Drivers

More specifically, Shanghainese taxi drivers piss me off.

Me: Take me to XXXX.
(drives to the cross street)
Driver: We're here.
Me: I want to go to #555. 
Driver: We passed it.
Me: So turn around.
Driver: You only said XXXX.
Me: I said XXXX because that's the street. Now I want to go to building #555.
Driver: But you didn't say that when you got in the car.
Me: Take me to #555.
Driver: I can't now.
Me: Because you're too lazy to make a U-turn?
Driver: Because you didn't say it when you got in the car.

*bitch mode -- ACTIVIATED*

Me: Look here, you idiot, WHAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION.
Driver: .....
Me: WHAT IS YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION!!
Driver: hmph. 
Me: I'll tell you what your JOB is.  YOUR JOB is to take ME wherever the hell I want to go. If I say I want to go to Mongolia, you shut the fuck up and you take me there. If I say I want to go to AMERICA, you shut the fuck up and TAKE ME THERE. I don't fucking care if you gotta pull a dammned rubber raft out of your fucking asshole but you damn well better take me there. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Driver: You should have said the number when you got in the car.
Me: Shut the fuck up and make a fucking U-turn. NOW.

(Makes a U-Turn and drives to the right building)
Me: You see how easy that is? Now here's your damn money and have a nice day.


Ugh. What a fucktard.  Stupid lazy Shanghainese taxi drivers. 

Kanye West and MTV

Lol.

I know it was rude of him but it's entertainment. Taylor looked like she was about to burst into tears. At least Beyonce had the emotional IQ to fix the situation.

There's something about MTV VMA's being live that is just so awesome.

Not to mention, Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson made me teary eyed.

The best thing is this headline I saw:

"Kanye West interruptions reach epidemic levels"

Thanks for the lol MTV.

Weddings and Instant Gratification

Weddings are pretty awesome.  If they’re your close friends or family.  Sometimes people I don’t know really well invite me to their weddings.  Why? What makes you think I care who you’re marrying?  Then I realized they don’t, because they just want the gift and the money.

This is why I almost never go to Chinese weddings.  Lots of former coworkers or other people I’ve worked with invite me to their weddings… but I really believe that a wedding should be an intimate thing.  A thing where it’s like, “I know you’ll be happy for me because you care about me and want to see me happy with another person.”  Half the time I get these wedding invitations from people I don’t even really talk to and people look at me aghast when I say, “Uh yeah, I can’t go.”   Weddings are expensive and time consuming, man. I’m not about to give out hundreds of dollars to people who I probably really don’t care about, or will remember in 5 years.

Meh.

Okay so I’ve been finally watching Prison Break. This is because on the plane flight back, the entire season was an option so I watched the first 2 episodes.  The reason why I didn’t want to watch it before was because I didn’t think there were many hot guys on it. I thought Wentworth Miller was hot… but was he hot enough for me to watch an entire series? I had my doubt so I never bought the series. However. 

On the plane, I was completely SMITTEN by him!! Ok you know what it is? It’s his eyes. They brood.  And his eyes are green.  My entire life I’ve had a thing for guys with green eyes. My first love huge crush when I was 5 had green eyes.  Joshua.  Then my middle school crush (another Josh) also had green eyes.  Then my high school crush also had green eyes (Brian).   Most of my TV celeb crushes also have green eyes. I just have a THING for green eyes.

So I bought the entire 4 seasons of Prison Break and I feel like I’m in a prison watching Prison Break, because I cannot move until I finished the entire series.  I’m on Season 3.  There is just something about the way Wentworth Miller broods that drives me insane. Woo hoo! Another mini project to do. Watch Prison Break and google every piece of information on it until I’m bored.

I love instant gratification.

Everything I want,  I must have it now.  That’s because I have a plan and my plan needs to move forward.  Everything is a little cog in my overall plan that I need to make sure moves in my preferred direction.  Being a control freak ain’t so bad…. You could be messy and disorganized, directionless and lost…… no thanks.

I hate panda huggers

So I predict my blog will get a lot more updates now that I have my bb. So let's see. Sitting next to me in a digusting guy with ugly wavy hair, and he has been picking his ear for at least 5 minutes. He is flicking the earwax out of his nails. However, after he flicks it out he also wipes his fingernails in this dirty napkin full of earwax. Sick.

Have you ever wondered how people can be this disgusting and apparently not care about it? Or not know about it? I think its all a pretence. They are just too lazy to change their habits because it is convenient to them. Like they care for anyone else. As long as its convenient to them they'll keep doing it their way. Which is the problem of this society of course.

Lots of people told me that they're growing! Look how far they've come! My question to that is.... So? That is no excuse for people to have zero consideration for anyone else and only pursue things that benefit themselves only, and often at the cost of another person, such as ripping someone off 2 months deposit, or selling them fake baby's formula to make more profit, etc.  There are some people that have grown up in horrible surroundings but know that its wrong not to kill, rape, or rob others. What is the difference between these and others? I don't think most of these people grew up in prisons.

Anyway, its just an excuse to divert you away from the real issue: that these people, and this society is fcked. That the mentality of the masses is broken.  How they grew up doesn't matter to what is seen in the present because dwelling on the how does not fix anything now.
