Things I dislike about people


Anecdote of the day:
One day when I was at a vacation in Cancun, I found a beautiful, hand carved wooden Mayan calendar. It was the size of my palm (which is medium-sized). The little native boy, (I call them native because he spoke the local dialect) wanted three hundred pesos (about $25 dollars/depending on the currency). I thought that wasn't so expensive, besides I am an impulsive buyer, so I bought it. Later, after walking a good distance, I saw a little girl selling the same hand carved wooden Mayan calendar. I decided to ask the price just for the hell of it. She said I could have it for fifty pesos (about $3 dollars). You can imagine my face and all the insults I received from my family afterwards. But you know what? These people make their living that way. You don't bid with wal-mart on the price of your bread. So why should you try to lower their prices? At last I'm paying directly to them and not some company that exploits them.

I know this is a weird transition, but today I will rant about the things I dislike about people.

·                     Cheap people. Now, don't get me wrong, it's okay if you have the virtue of saving (because I've never been able to acquire it), but I really dislike people who will buy chips and will only eat ONE chip, while the save the other ones for when there's no one around and they can eat it by themselves. Or when they will purposely buy lower quality products to save money. I have an aunt who didn't want to buy meat for our annually Christmas dinner. Instead she wanted to use some deer meat she had in the freezer for the last six months. I don't bother going to my family's annual Christmas dinner when she is hosting. Another example: I know you guys have heard of the "five second rule," well I know someone who took it a bit too far. It's okay to eat something that you've dropped, as long as it's in YOUR house. Your house, your germs. However, once I was out with a friend, this guy accidently dropped his ice cream. I watched in awe as he scraped the whole thing from the floor and proceeded to eat it. Want to hear the worst part? We were at a PARK. Why should be self-conscious of the money you spend when you earn it? Maybe if you have other responsibilities that's fine. But if you don't, and you're just a tacky, cheap person who would do the things I mentioned then shame on you.
·                     People who let out their anger out on other people. This is absolutely the WORST thing you can do me. I take the golden rule seriously, so I'll be nice to you no matter what (expect if you insult me and cross me of course). But, I won't stand you taking out your mood on me. I am definitely not a punching bag, and I am far too sensitive to be taking any bullshit. I always take things seriously. I will always believe what you say. I am that one person who will be happy no matter what. Even if I've been mistreated the whole day (and believe me I have) I won't hold you at fault. I know people who do this. Who if they didn't sleep will be in a grouchy mood? Who if they haven't eaten they will just be aggressive and hurtful. Who if they have been having a bad day they'll make you have one. But I guess I must be some sort of masochist; in the end, I end up forgiving these people. Weak, right? If you happen to be like this, just think about it twice. No one's at fault for the way your day is happening. Maybe it's just your fault. Believe in karma or in the 'returning of favors'. If you treat someone well no matter what, it will come back. Trust me.
·                     Creepers. I have personally flicked off several people for this. I mean, PLEASE! I am walking home from my bus stop, wearing loose jeans, a regular t-shirt, my dirty vans, and my messy hair and yet you dare to pull near me and ask me to get in your car? What ever gave you the idea that I am the kind of person that does that? Hell, what ever gave you the idea I WOULD do that in the first place? This just confirms my theory that means have WAAAY too much imagination. It angers me. I don't even wear provocative clothing, crap, I'm the type of person that sits alone on the bus and sits alone at chemistry! But, it doesn't matter what I wear, to these men, it would be the same as if I was walking down the street with a mini-skirt, fish net stockings, and a see-through skirt. I hope one day those guys will crash from not directing their attention forward when they are driving like they should be. I also hope they experience the same thing by a group of buff gay guys and die.

  • Religious fanatics. I have encountered a few of these in my life, and I am not fond of them. It's okay if you have different views. Different religions, different ways you eat your sandwich. But, don't shove it down other people's throats. They don't care. You can't change their beliefs unless you're out to convert them. I have noticed a specific religion doing this mostly. And no, specific religion, it's not your fault for the way your followers behave. In the end, its them who are failing to understand the true teachings and virtues you teach. If you truly believe in God, then believe in your own path and love above all. I honestly think hateful, ignorant religious fanatics are as bad as racist. To me, the worst thing one can do is be close-minded. Because of this misunderstanding are created, which fuels hatred and violence. One must understand science and religion are able to live in the same world, just as one can love physics and philosophy just the same.
Many people will probably be offended by this. This is just another point of view. If you have comments, type them down. This is just what annoys me. What annoys you?

Top 6 websites you probably have or haven't heard about

Random story of my life:
My thirteen year old sister has decided what she wants to do when she grows up. She wants to have a fancy host business in which men from ages nineteen to twenty-five, of all nationalities (her favorite being South Koreans and British men), will be available for escort services and something more if you're willing to pay for it. The quota is thirty-five dollars per hour and the quota for 'something more' depends on various factors I will not mention. She has also decided she wants to be a gangster. I don't know what to make of this.
Note to self: Must treat my sister nicer from now on.


I know I have neglected my duties as a blogger, so I shall post something to make it up to you guys. Have some of the weirdest sites on the internet. Enjoy. (This is not intended to offend anyone, and I do not claim I made these websites. The URL is available so you can enjoy the sites like I do:) Expect for the last one. That's just sick.)

1. How to become a Vampire - I guess this became famous after "Twilight", and no people, I am not making this up. Before twilight, (and this might be stereotype) only goth people were obsessed with them, and people who were obsessed with classic literature and/or action movies and supernatural. This is what became of that obsession: (Click here to view the website)
2. Random cat picture and song - This basically summarizes the internet. This might be random but it's worth looking at. (Click here to see the website)

3. The Chicken Who Will Do Anything You Want - I found this after browsing the web. You type a command and the chicken must obey. Dance, jester, dance! (Click here to give your command to the chicken)

4. Clever Bot - This is my personal all-time favorite, especially when I get bored. If you know what to type you'll be laughing so hard you'll fall off your chair/bed. Enough said. (Click here to troll clever bot)
 5. Snap Bubbles - Everybody loves bubble wrap. Great stress relief. Here, have some virtual bubble wrap.
6. 1. The Torture Game - The weirdest for last. I found this game when I was in middle school. I saw a guy playing it at the public library and the workers were too shy to say anything about it. I find this sick, repulsive, and for people with serious issues. But whatever floats your boat. This is basically a game in which you are given a body of an unspecified gender, with its hands tied by two ropes. You can do all sorts of sick things like painting the body, cutting limbs, shooting it, etc. (Click here to play The Torture Game 2)

Weird Japanese Inventions

Hello Internet!

Child Beauty Pageants & Stuff

I recall hearing people making a huge deal about a kid from a beauty pageant nicknamed "Honey Boo Boo". When I asked my government teacher about what that show was about, she answered this, "Don't watch it. It's a horrible mixture of the redneck culture and near child-abuse".
Here are pictures of Honey Boo Boo for those who remain in the bliss ignorance just like me:



As I later learned, the show called "Here comes honey boo boo" came after the Thompson's family first appearance in the show "Toddlers and Tiaras". I'm a terribly curious person, and no, this is not a flaw. So I decided to watch an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras. I promise to link (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO) the actual video I saw as soon as I find it since I could only stand to watch about half of it and later, I skipped to the end to see the results. I have several thoughts about this show, so I'll list them:

  1. Pedophiles must enjoy this show. This was the first thing that came up to my mind after seeing the girls acting cute, wearing very sexual dresses, make-up, and even doing things the do, like the "bowling game" some girl and her mother play  in which the mother would roll some sort of candy at her daughter along a blue tape she had place there and she would "suck it like a vacuum," in her own words. You come up with the point of the game, I couldn't. Anyway, I have several other comments about this, but I'm afraid they fall in the same category as what a pedophile would be thinking and enojoying thinking, which is worst. Feel free to guess what I'm thinking.
  2. What is wrong with these parents? When I was young I always wanted those pretend make-up sets. These kids get more than just fake make-up sets. THEY GO TO TANNING SALONS! [The mother took her daughter to a tanning salon because the girl wanted to be "brown like Beyonce"] Yes, it's horrible, I know. This just proves how much society has been influenced by the "pop" culture. I wouldn't doubt it if even the Gerber baby had make-up on rr contact lenses or even blush for that matter. How can the parents encourage their kids to participate in child beauty pageants? Take in mind these are the same people that say "beauty is in the inside". No, society, it is certainly not. You are misleading the newer generations. I noticed one of the girls in the video didn't want to participate in this. She even made a point of it by refusing to walk, her mother had to literally drag her so she could stand up and walk. I've never been able to understand people who make other people live up to the expectations they once had of themselves. 
  3. The Contradiction. I was trying to understand the basis of judgment by which the judges made their decision. I really couldn't find any, expect that the winners were the most unchild-like as they could possibly be. I imagined sixteen year olds instead of these four and five year olds in their costumes, acting coy, "innocent", and clumsily. The only child-like features they had were their bodies and the clumsy way they presented themselves. I don't mean this as an offense, but think about it. Kids are naturally clumsily and cute that way. These little girls were clumsy in their own way of walking, talking, etc, yet that was the only innocence they had. They wear wearing more make-up than a model and they are scarcely potty trained! When I finally heard what the judges were looking for, well, it was a contradiction (thus, the title). The judges wanted a cute looking girl who could pull off a mature look. The girl had to be innocent and yet beautiful. Yes, there is beauty in innocence, but since when does innocence include wearing THAT much make-up? These girls have stopped living their childhood by attending a show that exposes them a little too early to jealousy, to hatred, to failure. Sorry if I'm old fashioned, but the place of a child is exploring the world, not going to a salon, getting hairdos, wearing wigs, and competing for a plastic, shiny crown.


My ranting my be long this time, but this is such an attractive conversation topic. You know, this would be a nice way to find out if someone is worth it. It would be something like this:

-"Hey Bob, how do you feel about child beauty pageants?"
-"I'm not sure Cindy, I guess it prepares girls for their future."
Note to self: he is a sexist lad. Dump his ass.

-"Hey Patricia, how do you feel about child beauty pageants?"
-"The girls are SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE! (note this will go on for a long time). Oh my god, they look *so* adorable in their mini dresses and their make-up and blah blah blah...
Note to self: she is a plastic, shallow, materialistic girl. Must keep her. 

-"Hey Carlos, what do you think about child beauty pageants?"
-"Ehhh, I don't care. They're stupid I guess."
(Both men drink beer in unison)

-"Hey Becky, what do you think about child beauty pageants?"
-"They look so precious in their costumes and their little shoes, so tiny and shiny with those beautiful hair style! And THE MAKE-UP blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...............
(This goes on forever but I don't have space to cover a three hour conversation that jumps from make-up to brands and ends with break-ups.)

Okay, maybe not THAT exaggerated but, along those lines. I promise to post the link of the video (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO) and I have plans for the next post which is about one of my favorite reference websites.

This is NOT intended to OFFENDED anyone in any way. It is just a topic that I felt needed to be covered. If you don't like-e, then don't read-e.

Ice Breaker

It's endlessly tiring to meet people. I may not be awkward, but I tend to give people the wrong impression.
Let me give you and example: the first thing I said to my best friend was, "I'll sleep with you if you buy me animal crackers".

So, here's my ice breaking story!

One day I was feeling really unhappy after a fight with my boyfriend. I was crying as I walked downtown. I guess I must have been an easy target for perverts, because a creepy round, Hispanic man pulled near me in this prehistoric looking van (the kind that your parents warn you about) and said, "Hey, where are you going gorgeous? Can I give you a lift?". Of course I was freaking out. I've seen enough Criminal Minds/ FBI, law enforcement related TV series to know where this was going... I ignored the guy, but I guess that if a girl ignores you it means she wants you (of course not! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MEN?), because he kept on talking to me, saying, "I don't bite. Pay attention to me when I'm talking to you. I just want to give you a lift babe". This kept on going for like two blocks, I was starting to wonder where the police was and that I should call the police, but I saw that we were approaching the firefighter station, and he must have seen it also because by this point he started honking. Finally, he gave up and said, "Well then, FUCK YOU!" as he threw an opened water bottle at me. Yes, it had water in it. Yes, it was almost full. Yes, my shirt and hair got wet. When I got home, my sister asked why I was wet. After I told her the whole story, she laughed for half an hour, made jokes about it for another half an hour and asked for an hour "who does that?". Yes, my sister isn't the 'supportive' type. But, at least I laughed about the incident and ever since then this became my 'ice breaker story'. Hope you enjoyed it.

Disclaimers:
-This is NOT intended to be racist.
-The things the creepy man said have been translated from Spanish to English for you. I enjoy finding the exact or the literal translation of stuff. Have fun guessing what he said in Spanish!


Yes, this is a true story. Ever since this happened I wear the hood of my sweater, baggy pants, and earphones with screamo music I specifically downloaded for when I walk. I raise the volume all the way up on my phone so the music can blast of my earphones and anyone passing by can hear it and *hopefully* they'll think I'm satanist or something. [YES, this is a stereo-type, but I live in a very 'traditional-catholic-Hispanic' area and this is regarded, to the elders and most ignorant non-tolerant people, as "satanic"] In any case, the music will distract me enough from hearing the sorts of things those people say. It, however, doesn't stop the desperate men from almost breaking there next's from turning around. Oh, well. Think about ways we could avoid this situation. One day I'll just wear a bag with holes for my eyes.
But somehow I feel like this what attract more attention...
What do you think?
