Maybe he wanted to show off in front of the others. This is definitely what was going on. I don't want to say that I am traumatized, but situations like this make me less friendly just in a general sense.

This is a very good point. But the flip side is that the service kind of messes up a lot of people also. I know 2 people just off the top of my head that are incapable of being in normal society because

People like this take advantage of the kindness of others. I am a really nice person but can turn dark really fast if my dog is involved.

They were all foreigners. The type that are giving all of us expats a bad name. I kept my cool for the most part but it was just kind of shocking.

yeah, I know you are correct. It just kind of caught me off guard. I think that 85% of all people are good and decent, the 15% kind of ruin society though. You'll be having a good day and some jerk wrecks

Over the past decades, the amount of high cholesterol food I've been taking, the amount of cigarettes I've been consuming, the number of late night partying I've been wasting myself in, I'm just glad I

years ago I thought I was going to return to Thailand on a retirement visa once I was old enough. I no longer feel this way. Thailand just keeps screwing up over and over. I will travel there but have

when I am in my apartment I am able to tune it out provided I am not sitting directly next to the window and I suppose this is kind of like a city type of person, which I guess I am one of now. I miss

oh I would hate that sort of dining time. When I was a wastoid in college it was common for everyone to go eat and 24 hour joints after the bars but it wasn't just a normal thing for people to go out dining

what sort of meal prep do you do?

I was having a "few beers" with some friends the other day and was noting how beer is the only beverage on earth that makes you thirsty...for more beer. It is refreshing, but also has this aftertaste

I am guessing a lot of adhesive was involved, especially for those books across the top of the arch. i'm sure more than one person has had the bright idea to remove one of those. That was the first thing

yes. I have a job IRL so waking up from a job and then needing to do my actual job is not the best day!

Was Radio Shack ever a stressful job? Maybe it was because I only started shopping there during the corporate downfall but to me that seemed like an incredibly laid-back place to work.

That's very nice for you to say. I think Nadi has a great life but she doesn't understand how good it really is.

well if you ever discover a particular dish that you think is a gem please tell me what that is. I am mostly completely unimpressed with vietnamese food.
