Crazy People On The Train Pt. 2

Every month I run into a crazy person on NYC trains. This was not a pomegranate seed eatin' bum. Oh no! this guy was a Lord of the Rings Smiegel like character who was past due for his exorcism appointment at the local church. He was obviously possessed by something. His voice was raspy and deep and scary just like a demon. He went on preaching about the death in Palestine and continued to repeat, "You cant see them, they can see you, they are inside of you, they are a part of you." (I think he was referring to demons.) In that deep, raspy, demon-like voice as he pointed into the abyss and grew louder and louder with passionate demonic anger. His body stiff, as a board, unwavering by the winding and motions or speed of the train. What else could he be talking about. Everyone else was scared shitless for when he finally decided to leave the train you could notice the obvious relief on people's profiles. Muscles had loosened up, the atmosphere less tense. If you think watchin the Exorcist by yourself all alone in a dark room is scary, this was live and unedited in your face footage!!!

14. Why do straight men like it when women give them head but would never think of doing it themselves or sucking their own?
15. Why are women who questions things and are deep and thoughtful not attractive to the other sex.
16. Why does the world have to revolve around business and money.
17. Why spend so much $ on scientific research when most of it never gets applied.
There are lots more why's too many very few answers. Always questioning. Always in deep thought.

Developing a Business Mindset

This world revolves around money. So cliche but more and more everyday I am faced with this harsh reality. Everything costs money, time is money. Even water costs money! So where does this all lead, life is a business, just one big game. La vida es un negocio. The better you adapt to the game and think of yourself as being cast in the leading role with everyone else being the extra players the better equipped you will be to win the game! And don't we all want to win. A simple interaction with a customer service agent will easily include loads of offers for things you don't want or need..for what?.. to take your money. Does anyone lately help someone out from a sincere place in their heart. Customer service agents?? yeah right just one more corporate scheme to provide "help" while at the same time shoving offers down your throat. The world revolves around LOGIC. So it is in your LOGICAL best interest to shut business people out or incorporate business qualities into your personality. The thicker yours skin the higher the chances you have of succeeding in life. Even to attract a mate or be highly coveted by the opposite sex it all comes down to your shell: appearances. It's time to begin wearing lustrous top of the line business suits for all to see while concealing the intentions of the sly wolf within. In an attempt to adapt and succeed one must let the cunning wolf inside be your guide. Taking everything that comes your way and anyway who stands in it. Only the most ruthless, cunning, and composed thrive. Survival of the fittest that is what it all comes down to.

Fat people

I've never been mean to fat people and for the most part I can empathize with them due to the fact that I have family members and friends who are fat/overweight. I know its hard, my brother was overweight growing up due to a hormonal imbalance and it used to hurt me so much to see him hurt. For that reason I never make fun of fat people. I know they hurt they way he did. There's not much you can do when its a hormonal imbalance. I'm not fat by any means, never been probably never will be. My metabolism is extremely fast. It used to bother me before because I have always been super skinny. But I have come to appreciate it.

The thing that bothers me is fat people who try to take out their insecurities on you because they are fat and jealous. They are very quick to point out the smallest ounce of fat in an effort to make themselves feel like "Oh you see even this skinny bitch got fat." What the hell is up with that? Do I point out the disgusting fat hangin off your fat face and arms?! Do I point out the fact that you look like your ready to cook me and eat me?! Fat people need to shut up! I hate it when you offer people sympathy and they just spit it back in your face. Considering the fact that so many fat people have a hard time mating because the opposite sex is usually is disgusted by them why would they treat those who are nice to them like shit:?! Something I have always wondered about. Not only with fat people, but with people with low self esteem in general. After hangin out with someone who is physically, and emotionally unhealthy it makes you understand why it is that they are rejected. It makes you wanna reject them too. So disgusting.

Not only fat people, this also goes for people who have serious acne problems, discombobulated bodies, low confidence, yellow teeth, ugly by society's standards, judgemental etc. They put you down to make themselves feel better. They think that acting that way makes them look confident. Acting happy and bubbly, I mean dont get me wrong some of them are really cool but not when its self loath. I see so many fat people puttin themselves down, they think its funny to joke around about being fat but what they dont realize is that there are those who can see right through it. Its a facade, the funny facade. To cover up your hurt. Its not confidence no matter how you wanna make it seem that way, just because people laugh at your jokes doesnt mean they can't see through them. But they will go along with it to give you the ego stroke your lookin for. Dont go that route dont put yourself down to amuse other people. Take off the mask. If you recognize any of these things in yourself its time to stop. Cold turkey. And with this I conclude.

I hate Nosy people

She remarks on your outfits and accessories and asks where you get them? Or inquires about your job or internship? Maybe even seems to be very interested in your personal life or feelings? But can you honestly say you know much about them? Everyone's dealt with nosy people before. It is up to you to decide how you will react to them. We all choose whether consciously or unconsciously our reactions in any given situation. But some nosy people have no cure. It seems like they can't take a hint, so when you are pretty blunt or upfront about not wanting them too close in your life they take it personally. The worst type of nosy person is the nosy person who knows everyone's business but NO ONE knows ANYTHING about theirs. Beware of this type of person they usually come across as being very charismatic, friendly, trustworthy, and outgoing but do not be fooled. I hate these people. They are very careful and even go to great lengths such as lying before disclosing any information about themselves but will happily bask in the layers of your personal life. They will also happily use your personal life against you to back stab you, demean you, or gain a higher social role. Some of them are special enough to even copy some of whatever it is you have. We must be wary of those who inquire but never disclose. People like this MUST be kept at a DISTANCE. I learned that the best way to shutdown a nosy person is to simply reply with, "I don't ask you about your personal life, so please don't ask me about mine," or just make a funny joke along the lines of, "Damn _fill in the blank_ your always so nosy damn!," and watch that nosy motherfucker shutdown and maintain his/her distance!

WARNING: If this nosy person is really persistent just call them out on their shit or ignore them completely. Limit social interaction to the bare minimum eventually they will get the hint and back off. You will never have to deal with this person ever again!! Or you can go this route and punch that nosy bitch in their boob!

"Without you I am still me"

Relationships are so hard. Finding a relationship that is real and meaningful and worthwhile. Even if your with someone if could fee like you are all alone. There's no difference.

"Dreaming of you dreaming of me"
But when you do find someone that is worthwhile there are so many different special little moments that feel so comfortable and unforgettable its like a lovely dream

Finding the Silver Lining Amongst the Recession

Overall, 2008 has seen its fair share of ups and downs. The U.S. economy has plummeted, the stock market is doing poorly, and if you were tuned into the news yesterday you would have known that Time Warner almost lost some of our most favored channels such as Nickelodeon, PBS, etc. to Viacom never to be seen again. They had to come to an agreement before midnight yesterday. Thankfully they did and millions of Americans will continue to enjoy our favorite childhood channels.

Let's also not forget that across the country many families are not sufficiently able to provide for their loved ones, unemployment rates have skyrocketed. The public demanded change and President elect Obama took stage. The year 2009, seems more promising now that the economy needs to get up and running smoothly again. Everyone is anticipating President Obama's promise for change but, amongst all the ups and downs we must find that silver lining.

There are many promising offers at the moment for travel. Trips to Mexico, The Bahamas, Iceland, The Caribbean, and even Ski resorts are more attractive now than ever. Travel is the perfect escape from a harsh reality bordering on depression. Economists are not promising anything but the road ahead is looking pretty bleak. All over the internet you can find cruises and flights to these areas for good prices. Travel and tourism companies in these areas are working with the masses to offer them good deals. Searching for deals on cruises on Carnival.com I was surprised to see how accommodating the prices are. You can find short 3-5 day cruises for as low as $200 coasting the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Mexico with Carnival Cruises. Many ski resorts are also accommodating their prices for this recession knowing that the cost and hassle of carrying around skis on air flights can be a hassle. It is the perfect time to schedule a trip!

Property prices are at an all time low due to a few screw ups by economists and home buyers over the last few years. More houses and properties were bought than could actually be tended to. Many buyers invested their money in real estate thinking they had struck the jackpot and were wealthier than they actually were. When balances were checked much of the money being used to buy these homes was pretty much nonexistent very similar to the situation that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century. With all this in mind it is the perfect time to buy a home. The best advice is to buy only as much as you can afford. With a good credit score between 720 and 760 you can place the down payment on a home of your liking and pay off your mortgage smoothly.
