Diary of Goddess: Life Lessons Learned

I started this blog in HS, when I was this materialistic, but saying I wasn't materialistic first to start a blog and thought my life was so fab since all I did was school, shop, & friends. Fast forward 4 years later, I became this college student that realized that college life wasn't like the movies and MY struggle began...Some 10 years from HS and here I am, living my dream of going to law school, bringing a whole new meaning to MY struggle…

No. 234

If i'm backing out and there's a space to my right, it doesn't give you the right to pull into the space as i'm backing out, simply because i'm still backing out and i'm sure you're not that fucking important to need to go into that space first. If you were that fucking important, you wouldn't be buying your own groceries would you? Yea, and what's worse, is that if I wait for you to get out of the car, you cease to do so, so let me get this straight, you pulled into the spot causing me to stop while I was the one in motion, and then you don't get out of the car. So clearly, you were not in a rush? Yea, like if you rushed in, ran out of the car, and said a little terrible sorry etc, understandable, but while waiting for you to get out of the car you just dilly dally in the car, unacceptable and simply classless, regardless of the Lexus you are driving. Yea, I don't care if you look pulled together and nice, but you are simply a classless person, you're not a bad driver, you just have no class and common courtesy. What makes it acceptable for people who assume they have money to be disrespectful and classless? It's not acceptable. I didn't use the phrase more money then others-so no, there is no ego trip, and no, simply because you choose the Lexus over the Benz is not an acceptable answer to being, "hi, i'm not snooty because I bought something thought of as less prestigious." No, it just means you're new money, or you have no class, or you feel that you don't like that prestigious atmoshpere other people give which is only perceived by you. That prestigious attitude is only in your mind and by the most part-people do act nice. I mean, benz drivers are relatively nice and considerate, bmw drivers zoom in and out even when driving a 3 series because apparently they perceive it to be so cool to be putting the pedal to the metal then quickly breaking... and the jaguar drivers just want to front then realize it's really a lincoln and you have to say the name as in jag-u-ar and in a brit accent, not just like an American saying the animals name. Yes, but regardless of what the lady was trying to present herself as-because it's known that we all buy things that want to present us (image making), seriously, has anyone else noticed, people who assume they have money or more then you seem to act like they can treat others or do things simply because well, for lack of better word-they can. Yes, and one day, that lady who pulled into the spot next to mind will do the same thing, but this time, she'll hit the other car-presumably an old lady or fellow mother, either court or a tremendous scare will ensue and lets take it from there. If not, well then she' bloody lucky and sooner or later, she'll just have to live in the distorted world of how she perceives herself to be. Seriously, but I am sick of these people. It's like, I don't treat the local QFC women ringing up my groceries any different then i'd treat my friends. It's like, sure she's doing menial labor while she's 30, but I mean, I'm not going treat her like nothing or not acknowledge her, I mean, if she weren't there, who'd run up my groceries. She's there to help, and that's that. It's just like, a doctor or lawyer is a no better profession then anyone elses. It's simply another task that helps someone, whether in every day lives-legally, or body wise. Your body and daily live is just part of your lifestyle. It just so happens that those people went to school-more school then others who give you your dry cleaning. America doesn't have a class system, well not like in India were it's a caste system and etc, but in a way, even though people don't associate themselves with middle class etc or whatever class have you, still, people realize it, in the back of their minds, and that's one of the main ideologies that create and make racism flourish. Racism including color, ethnicity, and money. It's like, when you say "Chinese restaurant owner" you've got an image, if you saw, "soccer mom" you've got an image, if you saw, "unabomber" you've got an image. I'm sure not all, unabombers looked like the one, and i'm sure not all soccer moms look like Faith Hill with a short haircut and drive a volvo. Yea, it just makes me sick how classless the world is, I find there are more class in small towns then large towns. Maybe everyone is so imbittered by knowing others have more, not eating because they want to stay thin and being overworked. BUT, you know, these problems of not eating and overworking and wanting to be better is not my problem, it's your's, and you're the only one that can recognize and change them.
