spoiled chinese girl

This one… OMG.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone complain SO MUCH about how life has short-changed them in every way possible.  How Dad did this to ruin his life.  Mom did that. Brother did this, and Sister did that. How it’s the dog’s fault his life is crap. His friends messed him about.  His cousins, aunts, uncles… I’m sure there are relatives long-dead he’s complained about too.

They’re all excuses.  Every last one of them.  Always looking towards the negative in order to gain pity and sympathy from everywhere, all the time. I wish I knew the term “Calling you a Waahmbulance” at the time because I probably would have said that to him three times a day.

It’s very strange, if anything, to be with someone who blames the world for everything that’s wrong with it.

How do you blame 100+ teenagers being the reason that you don’t have a job… when you didn’t bother to line up and apply for one?  And how do you blame your parents for the reason you have no money, when you spend the remainder of your pay cheque (assuming you paid your parents anything) on junk food and over-priced video games? And how do you blame your kid brother’s friends for eating all the dinner, when you didn’t come to the kitchen when dinner was called, but rather stayed in your room playing your video game for an extra hour before coming down the stairs? And… how do you blame school administrators for you choosing classes you didn’t want to take? They encourage you… but ultimately it’s his decision.

It gets worse! How do you blame top-selling recording artists for the fact that very little people listen to and appreciate your music… when you don’t bother uploading your original music on the internet for the world to hear?  And how do you blame college-educated people (myself included) for having well-paying need-college-education type jobs… when you still don’t even have a high school diploma?

I think the absolute, funniest, is his excuses regarding what he claimed to be his lack of employment due to affirmative action.  Because he’s white, and male, he was losing jobs non-whites, and non-males.  Completely ignoring the fact that he lives in pretty much a 99% white town… where I’m sure on average, about 50% of the population will be male… he’s the only one who is getting singled out and saying “No, we’re not hiring you, rather we’re going to hire your non-existent black counterpart instead.”

It was sad. He blamed quite literally EVERYONE for his misfortunes.  And was either too blind, or too stupid to see that 99% of the time he had no one to blame but himself.

At some point I’m driving… and driving… and suddenly through a series of winding tunnels through some mountain ranges.  That’s fine.  It’s getting dark and I keep trying to figure out when a good time would be to turn on my headlights.  At the end of one tunnel I slow down because I’m staring down a car in the wrong lane.  Apparently there was a sharp turn immediately out of the tunnel… and they needed to get into my lane to make it around because that car had a trailer attached.  I didn’t understand it because if they went wide (in their own lane) they would have been just fine since the sharp turn was to my right.

Immediately leaving this tunnel I’m suddenly parked at the side of the road. Everyone’s milling around, and all of a sudden we’re being yelled at by law enforcement to get down so everyone drops to the ground face-down.  People start getting up, I join them, go turn my car off and grab the keys.  We’re all being patted down for some reason, I’m worrying about the knife I hold inside my wallet but that gets overlooked.

Somehow I’m in America and am getting this shotgun approach to questioning.  Part of which included someone yelling random numbers at me and when I got confused it was explained I was supposed to add these numbers up in my head and yell back an answer.  I was made fun of because as a Canadian we don’t do this apparently.

STRANGEST dream I’ve had in a while.

I was at school, felt like a college or university but I didn’t immediately recognize it as Ryerson.  Anyways, I was at school, in a class room but we weren’t being lectured.  We were all just sort of hanging out.  I had a few books (both text books and work-books) in my backpack (that I’m now using exclusively for the gym IRL) as well as some clothes.

Had to hit the bathroom.  Went, someone snaked past me into the handicapped stall, but was obviously able to walk.  I was confused, but fine, moved into the regular stall which was quite small when myself and my bag were thrust inside.  Did my business, went to wash my hands.

Outside by the sinks that were suddenly very luxurious, washing my hands, someone’s talking behind me.  This girl’s introducing herself, saying her name (that I can’t remember) and how she ran some event at the residence.  (I don’t remember the event, or her, but she was talking about the residences that I lived at while at Ryerson for two years IRL.)

By the sinks there were these baskets of free samples.  So we’re looking through them, and they happen to be those liquid water mixes to make flavoured water.  Me, this girl I’m supposed to know, and now her friend (who ran in at some point) are looking through them and picking out stuff we thought we’d like and each taking two or three.  All the time justifying it by saying “well no one else is in here!”

I just ended up going back to class.

I think I’m starting to realize just how fast time passes us by.  A week used to take forever and now I don’t know where the week’s gone.  But then again I seem to have been busier this week than “normal” so let’s recap what’s happened so far.

Monday – Work, Drumming, BodyFlow (Next week, the 9th, is my last drum class)
Tuesday – Work, BodyCombat
Wednesday – Work, Passport photos, BodyFlow (I couldn’t make it to do the double Combat/Yoga class across the street while waiting for my photos, d’oh!)
Thursday (Today) – Work, Unicycle club.
Friday (Tomorrow) – Work, BodyAttack(?)
Saturday – BodyCombat(?)/BodyJam(?),Band meeting(?), Unicycle meeting
Sunday – BBP Class

This week is a bit of a crazy week, but it seems they’re all gearing up to be somewhat crazy!  When I have another moment I’ll post what next week should entail.

These weekly reviews are getting more common as I’m finding less and less time to sit down and blog (but at the same time not really reducing the amount of time being sat in front of a computer.)

So Monday I went to work, everything’s fine in that regard.  Me and my new “room-mate” (co-worker) are working well together, and my former co-worker who’s now on afternoons isn’t doing too badly himself.  The week generally went quickly with only a few hicups along the way, like me finding out that while our largest folder can fit a 28 x 40 sheet of paper… it won’t let me put through an 11 x 34 sheet because it needs to go in the opposite direction.

Drumming was Monday as well, and we had the instructor bring in an actual drum-kit.  That was fun, even though it’s still a bit weird sitting behind a kit while other people are watching.  I do really love drumming but I fear it may take forever to actually learn anything.

Body flow was also Monday & I was happy for it as I really felt good about that class.

Tuesday after work I raced to the gym for the Body Combat class.  It was fun, the regular Tuesday instructor is back which is exciting and we’re mixing up routines now so it’s not always the same one.  While it’s nice to know what all the moves are, it’s also nice to challenge the body by changing it up once in a while.  The sauna was great afterwards

Thursday was Unicycle club and I was actually able to make it down which was GREAT.  A lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time, that I truly missed.  Weird and ackward was finding out some personal drama going on within one of the families.  And while I sort of picked up on something not being right, I really wasn’t expecting anything that I ended up hearing.  But I do hope they’re all doing alright and in the end will figure out what’s going on.

Overall, I’m trying out micro-blogging via twitter.  And I do really enjoy that Twitter is able to talk to my blog so the updates come here too.  But I disliked how it was taking over the front page of my blogs so I tried the daily updates.  I’ve seen the weekly update work, so I may give up the daily ones and just take a weekly tip on everything.  It might work well this way.  So check out my facebook status or my twitter webpage to see updates as they come, but for a weekly synopsis, check out my blog I suppose!
