No. 206

Ok, so i'm going to vent, this is just one of those things that still gets under my skin, after i've told everyone around me, I am still afflicted, afflicted by the ill atmosphere of the Holiday season. I do not understand why people are in such pissed off moods. Last year everyone was merry, or maybe I didn't see through the whole facade of a joyous economy. Seriously, it's come to the age where we have everything, but we're still repressed or something. Yesterday, living in my quaint calm no after you please no after you motif of a lifestyle, I was shocked to see that a man, got out of his car to yell with conviction that another driver had done him wrong, then proceed to get back in the car. First time i've ever seen this besides in the movies and my god, are people really that afflicted by what a driver did, seriously, does it cause a person to unbelt himself, get out of the car, vent, then go back in, buckle up again, and wait for the light? Second, so today, trying to find tapoica at QFC, i've faced with this lady that yells EXCUSE ME! I'm like, WATCH IT, god, seriously, I was just so shocked, that I couldn't think of a comeback, yes, I realize that now, I cannot ever be a rapper, because i'd lose every battle. My calm back was WATCH IT, only because I was so shocked, almost didn't say anything, but she looked like a serial killer, emotion wise, not physically, like it afflicted her so much Iwas in her way for 5 seconds, that she could shoot me. Seriously, this lady was so pissed off that I stood there reading the aisle menu for a full 5 seconds or so, that she wanted to shoot me right in QFC, like it's a drive by cart shooting, yes, so I was blocking her, but technically I wasn't, because I was in the aisle, she was passing through, and a wife and husband with cart was in the opposite side, but of course, looking at my young hoodlumness, she gets mad at me. Seriously, what makes people so pissed off, I mean, yea sure, you can blame it all on Osama, but why do people let it get to them. Before, most people would never be caught dead wearing head to toe American style well besides Kid and Lenny, but now they sport is all the time, just as now, they're like the economy is down and it's all Osama's fault. Well, it's probably true right, but doesn't anyone think that it might have to go down sometime or another, I mean, the saying is whatever goes up much come down? People are just bitter, because it wasn't their fault the economy went down, but someone elses, we always need someone to blame, just like that lady, because I was apparently standing there for four hours blocking her way. Seriously, learn some manners people, and economy schmonzy, it's not like anyone is helping it out in America, since we're buying sale items and we're giving out pink slips, if you wanted it to be better, then as a whole, people should get together and see what happens, it's like in Pol Sci, the conformity costs are too high thus becoming a collective action problem. I'm so glad I can apply what I learn in college to real life. The main thing that gets to me though is that I am afflicted by the way people act during the holidays. I mean, god, you're still alive right, but no, they didn't get that Coach bag or they had to wait for 2 stoplights to go, so that is what makes them pissed off for the entire day and take it out on others. Seriously, maybe it's me, but I mean, yes it affects me, but i'd never scream to some person because she took the last bagel or something or wasn't making my mocha fast enough. Maybe i'm affected by the whole holiday season, I don't know, but i'm thouroughly shocked when people lash out at others for the tiniest things or nothing at all besides going on about their business, it just SHOCKS me, that's all, and I just can't get over the shock. I think, great, unify America Osama, no, it makes us feel liks shit and it's true, Osama has affected us, no matter what we wanna say, he got to us, he won on the emotional level, mad props, or at least on myself, in the fact that I was affected by the bombings, but i'm affected by how the people respond negatively to what the terrorists has done.
