Chopsticks and you

Log start: 3:05pm April 29th 2009

Today, my music class ended early. So as par my usual monday and wednesday schedule, i went to the union to get myself some brown rice and general tso's chicken. (best on campus)

Well as i was walking out with my food, i past this table with four white people using chopsticks to eat their fried rice.

I suddenly went... wtf is going on here? (in my mind of course)

Some of you might understand if you come from a chinese background or even if you have just a little common sense.
You might know that utensils were created to do a job more efficiently.

First, let me talk about the uses of chopsticks when associated with food.

Chopsticks are used to pick (food in this case) up and to put it in your mouth. Yes. Not the best of explainations but that's all there is to it.
Now you ask me, why i have a problem with white people using chopsticks to eat just rice.

Because i also have a problem with asian people using chopsticks to JUST eat rice from a plate or a compostable container that the university now provides. And I have yet see any asian person use chopsticks JUST to eat rice. Because the majority of us uses something called a SPOON.

Get it?

I can spoon rice faster than you can pick rice up from a plate.

AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. TO BE HONEST.

Really.

Seriously? I don't know what they were trying to do, four white guys using chopsticks to eat rice sitting around asian people using FORKS AND KNIVES to eat their meal.

Wait a second, maybe i can study for AMS using my philosophy text book.

HakoneDayDreamer, Seriously now people... how about JUST a little common sense so you don't make a fool of yourselves?

Service vs Attitude

Log start: 5:30am April 25th 2009

So it starts like this; Jose, Joe, and I went out to eat at Chilis today.
And that's it.

Our waiter, complete jackass.
I've seen my fair share of jackass waiters, but they try not to be one... this one is probably new to the game or something...

Service: Something that you must offer to patrons without bias no matter what. (Unless it gets too unreasonable)
Attitude: Something that you keep to yourself when you're under the clock.

Stony Brook University, Asian population; 65%+
Asian population off campus around the area; 5%+

I know that i'm a minority off campus, we've been seated in the corner before and we've seen our share of bad service. *cough* Friendlys *cough*
But today was on another level.

Our waiter today took about 30 minutes before he took out order. People came in before us and their waiters got them their drinks while we're still holding on to our menu, thirsty and hungry.
When our waiter came to our table i looked at him and recognized him as the person that goes around socializing with white girls while denying the minority their service.

I know, in this day and age it seems a little harsh to label someone this, but i have no other words that can possibly describe the situation.

We ordered out drinks and our food after 30 mins.
Someone came in and sat behind us. They ordered. and they receive their drinks before we receive ours. Of course, they had a different waiter. Our waiter is still going around the restaurant socializing instead of bringing us our drinks.
I know it doesn't take 10 minutes to get out two cups of water and mix an iced tea together. You fill a glass with ice, squeeze some syrup in, mix with water and then it's done. And if it's the bartenders fault for not being able to fill a glass of water within even 30 seconds, please fire him and hire me. I guarantee that i can fill a glass of water -_-

So our drinks come and he thinks he's a smartass by bringing Joe two of his iced teas to skip out on the refill time. He even got the drink orders wrong, while the three of us were talking (because that's what customers do right? i mean, we're not the ones working) he passed the drinks in the wrong order and then he looks at me when i look at the drinks weird.
He says "Not your order? Well speak up next time, okay?"

As soon as he said that i notice myself repeating a bad habit that i gave up for about a year already. i closed my eyes tightly and turned my head to the left about an inch giving the expression that said "Did you really say that? If you dare say it again one more time you're going to be sorry"

He dropped off our drinks and went to socialize again.
Jose said he treated us like children, and that would be the only way to explain it. Speak up next time? By the looks of it, we're only about +/- 2 years in age. How dare a waiter treat someone like that anyway?
I worked at Toys R Us for a christmas season 2 winters ago and i would of never thought to give the customer that attitude. I would help them and if i wasn't able to help them, i would call my supervisor to help them. You just don't treat people that way, you just don't.

He didn't show his face until the end of the meal when he brought our check.
Oh, funny thing, he brought our check when Joe was still eating and didn't even say "thank you for choosing Chilis or is there anything else you guys need?"
already two major waiter taboos that you DO NOT cross over.
And of course, we needed something, we wanted some fucking dessert, are you serious? which waiter doesn't even ask if we wanted dessert?
And when Jose tried to get his attention, HE IGNORES US AND GOES TO THE NEXT FUCKING TABLE TO SOCIALIZE. When he finally stopped talking and turned around, he tried to walk past us until we were like "HEY!".....

In the end, we got our dessert... and our 6 minute refill on WATER.

By the end, we decided that we would give him 10% tips... i didn't agree, i think he shouldn't of gotten anything at all based on his service and attitude. But to be nice, i overcame all urges to speak out and 10% was given...

And guess what? I was going to pay with a Credit Card (note: a major credit card with a VISA symbol) and he was like "Oh sorry, i can't accept the card, we closed the registers already"
and then he walked away...

Let me get this straight... You're a major food chain and you don't accept credit cards, AND you closed the registers???? What does that mean? Does that mean you can't even accept cash? I mean, if you can't swipe something you must not be able to open up the cash drawer either right????? Or were you afraid that my card was stolen and won't accept it??

So much for being treated right.

If the registers are closed and you won't accept card, that means you won't be able to accept cash either right? does that mean that we can walk out without paying? I mean, your registers ARE closed. Fucking dick face.
I bet if i asked for your manager your registers will fucking turn on like magic and suddenly accept cards again.


People like this should get fired, i know people who are looking for a job off campus and have been denied a job because their positions are filled. This was the type of person who should just quit (maybe quit on life too because he's such a fucking dick to *maybe* only minorities) and leave others who are much more qualified with the job.

Don't get me wrong, for the 1937518036518356913650135713 times that we've been to Chilis, everything was only a little less than awesome. everything was on time and the food was good, the only thing bad this time was the waiter experience. And the only thing that will make us boycott chilis.
I know the service of some college kids won't shut down your business and it's certainly not meant to.
It's just to keep us away from stupidity.
Like a poster around campus says, "Accepting hate is the real crime"

And we're not people of crime :p

Bad waiters = bad experience of restaurant= Fail.

HakoneDayDreamer, I won't settle for this again.

Incase of extreme Awkwardness

Log start: 5:11am April 25th 2009

Incase of awkwardness, there are three things that you can do.

So ever since i went to college, i meet people of all personalities, and one type of personality that i recently learned how to categorize and deal with is called awkwardness.

No need to explain what awkwardness is, if you're reading my blog, i'm assuming that you're of some intelligence level...
So just yesterday i just came up with the complete awkwardness leveling system.
the levels get more extreme as the number gets higher, but it's not that complicated because it's only three levels.

Level One: Awkward Turtle

The awkward turtle in my scale is used to deal with lesser cases of awkwardness. Things that you know are awkward but it's really not that serious and you want to break the tension in the conversation... you do the awkward turtle xD
my personal experience is that for low level of awkwardness i can change the topic so fast that i don't even bother doing a turtle anymore...

Level Two: Awkward Turkey

The picture is a little complicated, so i'll explainyour left hand like you're grabbing something. After that you make a "thumbs up" with your right hand and then attach the base of the "thumbs up" to the center of your "grabbing" palm. Then at the same time, expand and contract the 5 fingers on the grabbing palm and your thumb of the "thumbs up" hand.
This is for mid cases of awkwardness.
i have to give credit to someone named Lisa for showing me this back in freshman year. But at the same time i think i've used this most on you LOL

Level Three: Haduken

I give the credit of this one to Abby. She has a friend that's so awkward that she does the Awkward HADUKEN to counter his awkwardness.
This one is for EXTREME awkwardness. like no joke, super hardcore stuff.
I learnt this one yesterday, so i haven't had the chance to try it yet. But i don't think i'll have a chance to try it soon, the only person i know would come in between levels 2 and 3 on my scale. i don't think anyone has yet to reach the ultimate awkwardness level yet...

So, awkward situations come up everyday in life, be sure to arm yourself with these three weapons XD
It will pull you out of a sticky situation!

HakoneDayDreamer, it seems the quality of my posts are slowly diminishing -_- *cry cry*

I found a new button on my dashboard of Blogspot one day called "Monetize"

so i clicked on it.

And the results... are seen to your left and on the bottom of the page XD

just trying it out to see if it really helps me monetize, and i'll probably get rid of it in like a week or something, it's annoying so far -_-

Skinny dipping

Log start: 4:50am April 25th 2009

Warning: Consecutive entries detected.

I just witnessed about 6-7 people skinny dip in Roth Pond. And for all my Stony Brookers out there, we all know Roth pond isn't the greatest place to sinny dip xD
But kudos to those people. I know who you are but i won't say any names here for reasons that i won't explain :p

So here is how it went.
I finished EU (TVB Drama), and then i took a shower and came back to my computer. While setting up an auto clicker before i go to sleep, i suddenly here a lot of noise from outside, and when i say A LOT, i mean A LOT. This is by far, the most noise that i've heard from people yet...

Last time the idiots who made that much noise were making it for about an hour and a half and i was so close to calling the cops, but someone was ahead of me and called the cops beforehand. After that experience i told myself that i would call the cops if they woke me up from my sleep at 4-5am again.
So this time i was like... hmmm these people sound familiar. So i went to my window to take a peek and as soon as i stared out the window, i see about 5 butt cheeks facing me and then they jumped into the pond. I was like OMGWTFBBQ!? because both genders were doing it, so i was looking to see who they were since they sounded so familiar.
They came back up and hid their goods and then 3 more people got undressed and cannon-balled into the pond.

I mean, this isn't some surprise thing, you expect things like this to happen in college... but i guess it wouldn't be happening ON campus, in an algae infested pond at 4:50am in the morning... more like "HAY GUYS. LETS GO TO THE PRIVATE BEACH WHICH IS ABOUT A 6 MINUTE DRIVE FROM STONY BROOK!" kind of thing.
I guess that kinda took me by surprise, seeing both genders skinny dip... in a dirty pond... drunk... and probably won't remember until their pictures pop up on facebook tommorow morning. Luls.

So yeah, that's one more thing to look for now.

HakoneDayDreamer, i think that in my drunk state, i wouldn't even agree to such a thing... but who knows? certainly not me :p

Education makes you a liberal!

LOLLLLL

So while i was taking some mini quizzes for POL102, i came across this question... which made me look up a map... which ending up like this... LOL

College education makes you more liberal (democratic) and the south is mostly republican.

which equals no college education?? :P

Make up the conclusions yourself :P XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

HakoneDayDreamer, i did it for the luls.

Where is the love?

Log start: 2:07am April 17th 2009

Well... this actually isn't a "real" blog post. :\
I was walking back from class today and this song popped up on my iPod. After listening to it, i felt like i could translate their words into an essay.... here are my results LOL

Where is the love?
Song by Black Eyed Peas
Essay version by Brian Tien

I asked my mom one day, what's wrong with the world? I asked this question because people are living like they have no mothers. I think people of the world are only attracted to dramas which ultimately bring you trauma. Everyone mourns about 9/11 and the US attacks terrorists in the middle east. We try to stop terrorists overseas but shouldn't we start with the terrorists living in the USA? The CIA bullies citizens, the Bloods the Crips and the KKK bullies different ethnicities, but if they only have love for their own race, they only leave space to discriminate.
We all know that if you descriminate, you generate hate and you end up getting irate. If you discriminate, all you demonstrate is madness and that's how anger works and operates.
If only people can learn to love, then they can finally get it straight. Take time out of your life to control your mind and meditate; just let your soul gravitate to the love.

People kill and people die in our world everyday. The impact is largest on the children, you hurt them and you will hear them cry. People always practice different from what they preach, why do they turn the other cheek?

People ask the father above to help up, to send some guidance from above because people questions about the love that the world generates.

A lot of people ask, where is the love?

In this day and age, it just isn't same same, it is always unchanged. The days to come are strange, and people become insane, if love is as strong as they say, why are there peices of love that don't belong?
Nations today keep on dropping bombs and the children suffer from gasses filling their lungs.
Children are dying everyday to bombs and i end up asking myself is the love really gone?
In this world that we're living in, people keep on giving in. They make wrong decisions because they only worry about the dividends that they make in the market.
They don't respect each other and they end up denying everyone else.
No one really knows why the war is going on either.
The truth is hidden well under a rug but if you never know truth, then how will you ever know love?
I ask myself everyday, where is the truth, and more importantly, where is the love?

I feel as if the weight of the world is on my shoulder because as i'm getting older, people get colder.
Most of us only care about making money and that ends up in selfishness which has us following the wrong direction.
Wrong information is always shown by the media because negative images is only their criteria.
They infect the minds of children faster than bacteria and they end up acting like what they see in the cinema.

Whatever happened to the values of humanity? the fairness in equality?
Instead of love, all we spread is animosity.
It is because the lack of understanding that leads lives away from unity.
It's the reason why people feel down and why people feel under.

But despite all this, i still have to keep my faith until love is found.

So let me ask one question, where is the love?

___________________________________________________________

not the most exciting thing ever, but i felt like writing it down for shits and giggles, LOL.

HakoneDayDreamer, wut wut in the butt?

To be or not to be.

Log start: 1:00pm April 16th 2009

To be or not to be, one of the most overly used Shakespere quotes but also one of the most mysterious. This quote makes you choose between two choices.
If you go with A, you will not end up with B.
If you go with B, A will be lost.
Simple?

Recently i was assigned in CAR 110, to research about my future profession.
You know me, i don't like to think that far ahead, let alone where i see myself in 20 years...
Since my interests were always in active politics, i decided to just go with the flow and do some light research to go go go.

Little did i know, a little research goes a long way, or so they say.
I started researching and i kept on getting absorbed into the profession, research led to reading for hobby, feeling the need to dig up more information, and face-palming myself when i couldn't find the information.
Everything seems so clear for the first time, this is what i want to do, no, this is what i NEED to do.
The drama, the experience, the high-stakes battles; it's something that i've dreamed for since middle school.

The biggest fear i had when i was growing up was that i'd end up working in a cubicle filing papers and inputting files into the computer. It's not something that i can see myself doing and i was already afraid.

But after reading on being politicians and lobbyists, everything about it seemed to draw me in.

For my research i planned on interviewing two large figureheads of Flushing, one is Councilmember John Liu and one is Assembly Member Grace Meng.

You see; i believe that my hometown of Flushing is the breakthrough of Political activity on the east coast. No, it's not Chinatown, because Chinatown is where a lot of immigrant families end up and end up raising first-gen Asian-Americans.
Flushing is different in the sense that it has a higher first/second generation population and that people are actually more in-tune with the modern world, or so to say.

Flushing is where the first Asian-American got elected onto the City Council (need a fact check on this later LOL) and Flushing is where the first Asian-American got elected into the State Assembly (Jimmy Meng, Grace Meng's father) and where the only Asian-American is holding a seat right now.
Two figureheads of Flushing and only one responded to me :P
before i sent these e-mails out, i thought to myself, if one were to respond to me, who would respond first???
and i actually got it right xD

Assembly Member Grace Meng responded to me and my research seems to be going fine so far.

In my 3 hour quest to come up with 8 questions for Ms. Meng, the research made me realize that there was no other option for me, (or options that i would want to take right now)
i had to be in on the "one-oh-one" of politics.

And to my surprise, there's an event that is going on in my school today named
"Asian America After Obama: Where do we go from here?"
I saw some fliers floating around but wasn't really interested in going...
but my mind changed!! yeahhhhhh

why? :D

"Dear Brian,
These are excellent questions. I am working on them and will respond to you soon. Thanks for your interest.
On another note, I will actually be at your school tonight from 7-9pm at a panel. Not sure if you know about this. I'd love to meet you!
Best,Grace"

I haven't been so excited in awhile LOL
mainly because this will give me the extra edge that i need to completely demolish competition in my CAR110 class but it also gives me a chance to meet a great figurehead of Flushing xD

Looking at the list of speakers for tonight, it got me even more pumped up

Hon. Doris Ling-Cohan, Justice, Supreme Court, New York County;
Hon. Grace Meng, J.D. NYS Assemblymember, Dist. 22, Flushing

NYS Assemblymember AND NYS Supreme Court Justice, both Asian-American!? OMGWTFBBQ :DDDDD

Oops, i seem to get side-tracked while blogging, haha.
But yes!
going back to the ultimate Shakespere quote, To be or not to be, that is the question.
To me, it is no longer a question, but a path which i must follow. I have found my inner-self through research, which, in a million years, never thought would happen.
And it is time to turn my usual 70% care level onto 100% full speed ahead!

GOGOGO~

HakoneDayDreamer, there's nothing more to say! Hopefully i can meet Ms. Meng tonight after the lecture and maybe land an internship ;)

God damned fucking shit government services

Log start: 7:47am April 13th 2009

That God damned fucking shit government service they call the IRS can shove their fucking attitude up their fucking shit holes.
i didn't have to wake up at 7 fucking AM to call them if they weren't so fucking greedy holding back my aunt's tax return money.

I call them at 7am this morning only to listen in to some fucking loud shit classical music for 30 God damned minutes to come to a loud guy who identified himself as a fucking 7 digit binomial number which was too fast for me to even write down when i'm fucking fully awake.

Then he's like "What's your social security number?"
and i went "Oh, hold on"
AND THEN HE HAS THE GUTS TO GIVE ME A FUCKING ATTITUDE:
"You don't know your social security number?" - Yeah it sounds pretty fucking normal but you should of heard his fucking voice.
so i went "i'm calling for my aunt because she can't speak english"
and he went "can you give me her name"
SO I GAVE HIM HER NAME.

SIMPLE, NO?

WELL NO, IT'S NEVER THAT FUCKING SIMPLE FOR PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZE US AS FUCKING NUMBERS, IS IT!?
and he goes IN A LOUD FUCKING VOICE "No, can SHE give us her name"

TO CLARIFY THINGS UP, I'M NOT THE ONE GOING CRAZY AM I?
I did just say that she can't speak English, well mr fucking binomial man, are you some kind of retard?

so i'm like "no, she can't speak english"

and then he's like "sorry, we can't give you any more information"
and he hung up.

o.o

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL.
ARE THEY SOME FUCKING RETARDS??!?!?!?

i have all the information needed in my hand, which by the way, is listed on the IRS website.
AND NOW, i'm calling in replacement of a non-english speaking citizen and then i'm treated over the phone like some throw away number which has no power whatsoever.

come to think of it, i should of fucking taken up 2 more hours of his time by asking about my own fucking tax return. see how he likes to get his time fucking wasted. son of a bitch.

i take back whatever i said about Dell customer service for my desktops.

THIS SHIT IS SO MUCH FUCKING WORSE.

And if you're thinking, well they're just following rules.
ARE YOU CRAZY?
HOW IS THE NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING PERSON SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS?

And now that i can't even call to fucking find out, because "i don't have the power to"
how is she going to get her tax returns back????

I sense a major flaw in this fucking system. i truly, honestly do.
AND THEN THIS FUCKTARD WHO THINKS
"omg i hate this fucking world, i dropped out of college to work as a phone line assistant for the IRS and i have to answer calls at 7am"
AND HAS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE,

HE CAN GO FUCK HIMSELF UP THE ASS.

Fucking bastard.



HakoneDayDreamer, IF I COULD REMEMBER HIS 7-DIGIT BINOMIAL NUMBER, i would call to fucking complain about this attitude, which was the WORST experience about this phone call. I need to copy it down next time. ARGH!



EDIT:::

For English, Press 1.
Para espanol, entrar numero dos.

i wasn't going to say anything about this but as my rage still flows within me, i can't sleep again without saying this.

For a country that nationalizes ENGLISH as the main fucking language, how can you only have spanish translators?
And i'm not saying anything bad about the spanish language, it's awesome, i have spanish friends, they have spanish friends, they speak spanish, i speak spanish, i learned spanish, it's all cool.
but OTHER THAN English or Spanish, for a country where the minorities are going to outnumber the "majority" isn't it smart to have every fucking language translators possible? (well at least the top 5 maybe)
let's say... members of the United Nations security council???
i'm not asking for fucking 91378136513956896135 different languages.
BUT IF WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN UNBIASED COUNTRY THAT'S SO FUCKING GREAT AND ALL, wouldn't it make sense to have translators to the top world powers!?!?!?!

Is that too much to ask for?
Let's see who sits on our UN Security Council today.
With its 5 permanent members.
1) United States - English
2) United Kingdom - English
3) Russia - Russian
4) France - French
5) China - Chinese

OK, SO THAT'S 4 of the top languages. IF THAT'S NOT TOO FUCKING MUCH TO ASK.
Now here's the other members;
6) Austria to 2010
7) Japan to 2010
8) Uganda to 2010
9) Burkina Faso to 2009
10) Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to 2009
11) Vietnam to 2009
12) Costa Rica to 2009
13) Mexico to 2010
14) Croatia to 2009
15) Turkey to 2010

OK, NOT A LOT OF THOSE MATTER ANYWAY; but here's a nice suggestion.
English, Russian, French, Chinese, Spanish TRANSLATORS!? HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A SUGGESTION!?
We can even limit it down to FOUR! Since french people know english too!
WE CAN HAVE 4 OF THE FUCKING LARGEST LANGUAGES BEING TRANSLATED IF WE FUCKING TRIED.

English
Russian
Chinese
Spanish

THESE ARE THE FOUR MOST WIDELY SPOKEN LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD, WHY DOES AMERICA ONLY SUPPORT TWO>>>????

WHAT THE FUCK?

looks like i got binomial and alphanumerical mixed up.

As if breaking the law wasn't enough

Log start: 11:31pm April 6th 2009

Today felt like a nice day to head to my favorite japanese market of all time; Mitsuwa.
And let me tell you, the only thing not so awesome about Mitsuwa is probably its pricing, which is the only reason why i've hesitated to go there everytime i think about it. But today i wanted some of their food court food <3.
So i went :D

The drive was interesting, while going to Brooklyn to pick some friends up, i didn't notice how dangerous puddles on the Belt Parkway were until i experienced it first hand.
A car drives along the other side and suddenly runs into a giant puddle of water.
The water then ascends upward and makes its landing on to my windshield.

It's like a wall of water! The first time i experienced it i was saying "OMG WTF WITCHCRAFT!"
then i let the more normal part of myself think of a logical explaination and ended up with me staying off the inner lane for quite some time. lol.

Ok, so we're at Mitsuwa and i haven't eaten lunch. After taking about 10 minutes to decide which store would get the awesomeness to fill my stomach, i ordered.
So Joe and I ordered the same dish at the same place and we were standing there waiting for our food when a group of 5 white kids (middle schoolers) came up to Joe and asked him something.

I was right next to him so i decided on being nosy. The kids asked Joe if he could buy a BB-gun for them. Joes first expression was "lol wtf is this kid serious?" and then he answered "sorry, i'm not allowed to do it"

That was dead on the correct answer. My friend Eric has a lot of BB guns, and it's dangerous. (Eric is of age to own a Bb gun)

I was thinking to myself, ok, so kids want to have fun and i don't blame them for it. Everyone has something that they want; *cough* alcohol *cough* and i respect them for having their dreams.
But you see, there are limitations on such dreams. Certain unwritten rules or taboos that shall not be broken for the sake of your intelligence and social standards.

If i was underage, i would have no problem asking my friend to help me purchase a BB gun, social connections, networking, people who are inside my circle of trust. And if they said no, i would respect them and then ask another person xD

But when this person is outside your little circle, i believe that you shouldn't ask such a riddiculous thing.

These middle school caucasian and probably upper middle class children living in a nice neighborhood in New Jersey seem to have no shame for asking a total stranger to help them buy BB guns. And listen to what happens next.
When Joe asked me if i could do it, i quickly responded no; reason being that i don't know you at all and i don't know what you're capable of.

So simple.

And then Joe also said a solid "No."

Good answer! Bad responses.

Then these kids dare talk back and explained natural rights similar to the Bill of Rights like they have a right to be mad in the first place.
I remember the conversation being something like this:
Joe - "Sorry, i can't help you, and you shouldn't be having these things anyway if you're underaged"
Kid - "But it's only right for us to own one, anyone can own one, you just need to be at the age to buy one, cmon, please"

Sentence decomposition:
"But it's only right for us to own one" - WRONG, it's LEGAL for ME and persons over the age of 18 to own one.
"Anyone can own one" - WRONG, 18+
"You just need to be at the age to buy one" - WRONG, that means i can have all the alcohol i want if i just get a friend to buy it for me. Cmon, even I know that it's wrong.
"Cmon, please" - I just laughed at this one. IQ+EQ = low and you expect me to even have the slightest chance to trust you with something that can possible put me in jail? Lol?

Don't try and do something if it's not within your power. (Friends are included in your power sphere, because friends just pwn that much)
Asking a total stranger to buy something illegal for you is already out of the question.
Trying to justify your actions and pursuading the person who has the power to help you is even more idiotic.

That's like me going to my boss saying "Hey Alicia, give me a pay rise, compared to all other lifeguarding facilities, we're making way below average for a lifeguard"

Actually, scratch that, because my argument would be valid if i produce facts, which are certainly obtainable. :D
ALICIA, GIVE US A PAY RAISE.

Back on topic, it would be like me telling the cop who just pulled me over "BUT THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD, THAT WAS WHY I WAS GOING 120MPH, I DO HAVE RIGHTS YOU KNOW"

I can't imagine myself stooping to that level (or being that stupid) talking to a cop like that and then trying to justify my unjust behavior.

As if breaking the law wasn't enough, we had to be showered with comments that seem to give them negative reputation everytime they spoke a word.

Rule #1) Don't mess with the people who you're asking a favor of.
Rule #2) Don't be stupid, go home and play with your final fantasy 20 (i forgot what # they're on) or go to another mall to pick up chicks. Wasting your time causing trouble is a bad idea.

Jeez, what is their school teaching them?

HakoneDayDreamer, i feel old... because i wanted to say to them "YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM BADBOY!" (in a Russel Peter fake asian accent) and they're just idiots. Sorry if this means anything to all the white people out there, but your race just got a -1 for reputation :( but you guys (a majority) are still cool :D

20 too young vs 20 too old

April Fools
Truth be told: This entry is not an April Fools joke, i would never do something so horrible -_-

My 20th birthday passed last week, i know nothing was special about 20 in the United States, seeing how only the United States, Indonesia, and some random island out in the pacific limits the drinking age to 21.
So i didn't think of my 20th as something that super duper special. To me, 20 is just 18+2, less than 21, greater than 18.
But why is 18 so special?
Well, 18 is the "Legal" age for a lot of the world, 18 is finally where you get to say (in my case) "Yes! I am a man; WORLD, HEAR ME ROAR!" *applies for credit card*
I get to vote, i get to buy cigarettes(i'm not a smoker, just because i have the power to doesn't mean i use it) and i get to have a drivers license! Hot. In Europe, i can even rent my own prostitute for the night! and in Quebec, i can even drink!

19: I can drink in the rest of the world besides US, boooo.
20: WTF NOTHING HAPPENS!

That's basically how i rank 18-20.

Now that i'm 20, i'm not a teen! i am a true maaaaannnnnn that took 2 years after 18 to mature and age and have my back hurt more than when i was 15.

Okay.

So, you would think that if a group of same aged friends wanted to go on vacation, they would be able to rent a place out of state, ya?

Sorry, now i'm 20 too young.
Car insurance, you need to be 25 so they don't charge you a fucking large amount of money that 18yr olds can't afford to pay.
Rent: "LOLs KIDDO, GROW SOME PUBES" <-- dramatized
Alcohol: "LOLED, ALCOHOL? WAT!? GET ON THAT MUTHA FUCKIN PLANE WITH DEM MUTHA FUCKIN SNAKES AND GET TO THE MIDDLE EAST TO SECURE SOME MUTHA FUCKIN OIL SON!" <-- dramatized

*sigh* when being an adult isn't enough, you are stuck between a world of when you were once a teen and the life of an adult.
Ages 18-20, the ages where you are living in the void, unaccepted by both major groups of society, the teens and the adults. the rejects of the teenage world and the babies of the adult world.
If anyone has seen the latest episode of Bleach where Aizen casts Severing Void to stop the kido captain's attack, think of it like this, children are running to attack "adults" and the "adults" cast Severing Void to stop children from attacking them. Only letting children who have submit to the will of the "adults" pass. It sounds nerdy, but i can't be bothered to think of another correlation right now.

Normally, i would be relaxed and be like "i'll think of something later" but i can't sit around and do nothing. Many of spring break, summer break, winter break plans failed before (ok.. i lied.. all of them failed) so i'm even more motivated this year to get things done. I NEED A VACATION OUTSIDE OF THE STATE, SCHOOL, AND HOME!

Need someplace to relax, to just sit down, stare at the sun, sleep and then get a sunburn so i can call myself stupid. must get away ~_~

If all fails, i might as well take my car, travel up north, visit some people on the way and then find myself at a bar in Toronto ordering drinks.... that's so sad.

I usually don't exert a lot of effort... usually runing on 75% because it's more convenient but to get this trip done, i might have to put more effort in it...
this is so gay -_-

20 too young vs 20 too old
The place where people within the ages of 18-20 lie around daily, unsupported and abandoned by society. A place where i will never see again in a year, and a place that shouldn't even exist in the first place that somehow exists in the United States because of the fucking homosexual protestants that founded this country. *sigh*

HakoneDayDreamer, *sings to the YMCA theme*, F.A.I.L. they just want us to F.A.I.L.
