the samurai tongue

what to do on a Saturday night?

my sons are asleep, my wife is asleep, i am awake.  the internet has become so boring for me.  i come online to talk to no one.  i can open all the social networking sights and instant messengers in the world and STILL not talk to anyone.

I seem to be the anti-social networking person.  People friend me and secretly read my tweets and blogs to stay in touch with me because talking to me is too painful.  I think my level of sarcasm is supreme to everyone else.  I have reached a Buddha state of sarcasm.  I open my mouth and people can't even respond, they just kindly walk away.

The masochist conversationalists always comes back for more.  Some people are brutal with their words and conversations.  I like to call those people the a-bomb conversationalist.  They open their mouths and its mass chaos and total destruction.  People despise them.  People want to punch them in the face.  People hope some kind of pain on them.

I like to think of myself as a ninja of conversations.  I calmly and quietly slice conversations so the person doesn't know what happened, but they do know that they don't want to talk to me anymore.  They don't want to hurt me or inflict pain on me and they leave me alone.  Success!

feeling lost in the US

we live in the most popular and yet most hated country in the world.  the land of opportunity, or so they say.  i have a friend who has been looking for a job since last January.  i have another friend who is graduating with his doctorate in mathematics and could only find two jobs as a professor in a university.  my future brother in law wants to go to law school and only got into one school.  if there was an "opportunity" they would have taken advantage of it.

i had to interview people for a job fair with my company because were opening a new store and we had about 1300 people show up.  thats 1300 people who don't have a job, have never worked because they cant find a job, and had to cut their education short because they couldn't afford it anymore.

great opportunities!

i make decent money as a manager in a grocery store.  is it what i want to do for the rest of my life?  i'm not sure.  its a good business but i think i want to go back to school for psychology.  my fear is that i go back to school for psychology and DON'T find a job in the field after i graduate and end up where i am now paying an extra $100,000 in student loans.

i think the United States motto shouldn't be the land of opportunity but "the former land of opportunity, the current land of disappointment"

social networking

i used to have my twitter post on my facebook...my blogger post to my facebook...then i realized that if i do that people will never follow me on twitter or blogger so i stopped them from posting on my fb.

i was WRONG!

no one cares what i have to say on any of these social networking websites.  i could say "sitting with a monkey eating breakfast" and people wouldnt comment.  i know i wouldnt!  i dont read peoples status updates but i expect them to read mine.  social networking is only good for those who are sociable (and those who stalk people on fb).

i am not very sociable nor do i provide words of wisdom to the world.  i barely talk to the people in my life as it is.  not because i dont want to talk to them but because i have nothing to talk about.  i either talk about my kids or work.  it gets kind of tiresome to listen to i guess.

i watch the recorded shows that my wife and i watch every night.  and when i am home with my boys the usual television viewing is Disney or nickelodeon. i barely watch the news or sports!  i cant talk to "friends" about the backyardigans or mickey mouse, its just not a good discussion topic.

No wonder I have no followers!

I haven't been on here in a while.

I decided to log on and see if I can get this blog going again and when I signed on I began to read the previous posts that I had written.  OMFG!  They're horrible!  I wrote about social networking websites and how it would be cool if a monkey had a facebook and twitter so they can tell us how it is to be a monkey!  Am I for real?

I don't remember EVER having that thought in my head nevermind writing it in a blog.  To those of you who read my blog, it sucks, move on!

Or don't and see what other stupid useless things I say! ; )
