So many little things...pepsi vs. coke, Kanye West as a chipmunk, Usher as geeky monkey hot, my extended family, Trading Up...so many little thoughts.

So, watching the Travel channel-love it by the way. They were saying coke is the number one selling soda, so it is, so quinessential in China, but i'm thinking coke is so old school and pepsi is the new coke, but then diet coke with lime swayed me and now I have to say I only drink diet coke with lime, but i've always hated coke...what gives, in a way it's all an image, either coke very old school or classic and pepsi really nouveau and all the rage. When one things about it, what does coke taste like, it's like why do we drink coffee, it's not some flavor it's just these weird taste that unidentified but coveted by all.

Kanye West...still on the fence about him, he's replacing Jay-which manes me sad, but yet, he's kind of hot in coral ya heard in that Brandy video. He resembles a chipmunk and I can mos def tell that he's got quite an ego when he got punked, because who says you're going to PAREE, as in Paris, give me a freakin' break, so nouveau riche, but yet, what he raps about is so true in these oddly profound way, like it's not all about gin and juice, cristal, cars, and coveting ass. So, in a way i'm kind of amazed, but yet i'm like should I support him and buy the cd, after all, most rap cds suck because there is always those intros and preludes and then afterludes and then some random thing and there's always someone on the phone...which leads me to...

Usher, sexy in that geeky hot way that you can tell would really start like laughing in bed if he were with you you know type of guy. So, saw the Making of the Video with him, he was on the phone in the beginning and as Ant says, we all know no one else is on the other side, so quite playing, but yea, I find him oddly sexy in that way, maybe it's the blazer or that he'e got the amazing bod, but for some reason, why I watch his videos, he's hot, yet I still sorta wanna laugh-like he's trying to hard you know, he knows he's hot, but he still tries hard as hell, and it comes of stupid not rico sauve I guess i'm trying to say...which leads to Trading Up

In which the girl thinks she's so sauve, but isn't, I really don't know what to say about that book. Read it, but it wasn't like, OMG, Changed my life and it's the best book of the summer, just like Devil Wears Prada. I mean, maybe because SATC died, and that's why I have no excitment towards Candace Bushnell anymore, but also um... what's with SATC on TBS? EXCUSE ME? Why does it not start from the beginning and why is she not constantly on the computer asking that crucial question? I don't get it, maybe it's so boring now that I miss the question part, but it doesn't even make any freaking sense because I don't even think it's from the very beginning of SATC, so it's these random snipets of SATC-which I felt was just not an omage to SATC, but horrid, and also who knew that Samantha and Carrie don't get a long in IRL, that's what I wanted to know.

My family came and went and this time all I could think was that it's ok because they're old and will die soon. Very heartless, but yet ok, and it was somewhat bareable, besides the fact that money really rules us all apparently, because for my aunts, it's like you should always have lots of money and never get fat because once you're fat and have nothing you're such a loser you may as well shoot yourself. Also, it's good to be extravagant, but not too extravagant, like thinking in terms of third world country knowledge, it's better to have two nannies, a cook, a maid, and a driver then to go out and buy Hermes Birkins. Yes, so i'm like, ok, whatever, it's not like we can't do shit ourselves right. Like for instance, when there is no more water in the water pitcher, one should not put it back into the frig and figure someone else will handle it-because we don't have maids, so it's best to either leave it out, or got to the sink and fill the pitcher with water. Just like, when you dump your tea out of your cup into the sink, it's best not to leave the tea bag in the sink, but instead, just dump it into the trash. Yes, that's what i've learned, and i'm 20, and my aunts are all 70 or above, yes so there whole loves apparently these simplistic things they have no mastered, but weasling out their family members out of money that was bestowed on them was apparently in their minds.
