VIRGO - The One that Waits
Dominant in relationships.
Someone loves them right now. Always wants the last word. Caring.
Smart. Loud. Loyal. Easy to talk to. Everything you ever wanted. Easy
to please. A pushover. Loves to gamble and take chances. Needs to have
the last say in everything. They think they know everything and usually
do. Respectful to others but you will quickly lose their respect if you
do something untrustworthy towards them and never regain respect. They
do not forgive and never forget. The one and only.

I ran into the administrative assistant in the elevator on my way to the office today. Nice girl. She seemed a little bummed... Oh, how do I know? Ask my female friends how well I read them... And since I am not one to hold words back much, I asked her about it:

Me: "Something troubling you?"
Her: "Hmm... yeah, boss told me to just drop the mail by the door next time when she's not in."
Me: "What's wrong with that?"
Her: "It's like she doesn't trust me to go into her office."
Me: "Oh..."
Her: "Yeah..."
Me: "We went through this a few months ago, didn't we?"
Her: "Yeah, I think so."
Me: "Did it not make sense?"
Her: "I think it did. But I think I forgot."
Me: "Okay, let's try this again: So when the boss is in her office, do you knock before you walk in?"
Her: "Duh! It's common courtesy."
Me: "Right. You would ask for permission before going in, right?"
Her: "Uh huh."
Me: "Right. So if you ask for permission to go into the office, then when she's not there, you can't get that permission, right?"
Her: "Hmm..."
Me: "So if you're just waltzing into her office when she's not present, then what's the point of knocking when she's there? That's like a messy guy cleaning up his crap whenever his mom shows up because he only knows that he doesn't wanna get in trouble with his mom, but he doesn't understand why he needs to become a clean person."
Her: "Oh..."

What bothers me about people like her is that they just don't get it. They repeat the same shitty mistakes over and over, then continued to walk around with a giant question mark hovering over their heads. These people really have to stop what they are doing and ask themselves why they should change certain habits of theirs. Unless they understand why, they'll never change. I don't give a fuck about how many times they thank me for pointing out their ways to them, because it doesn't do anybody shit when those bad habits just come back again when these people think they can get away with them.

...If you haven't noticed already for the last XX years of your life, Halloween costume contests have hardly ever have a winner base on ideas, humor and/or creativity. It's about which girl shows more skin because they have an excuse to cover their body parts with as little as possible. Hey, I am not complaining about the eye candy. But for every girl out there who dresses up (or down, if you really think about it) for this day: Stop denying the intention to attract more attention. You've been waiting for this kinda opportunity to dress slutty and a costume contest becomes a perfect excuse for you.

...When I started college, my total savings was $220. Please stop asking why I am in debt. My parents didn't have money for me, which is okay. I didn't have a home to move back to after college, which is okay, too. Some of us don't have the liberty to experiment and think about what we want to do while the parents shelter us. It's okay. For those of you who are bragging about how you're paying for your own life, think about what you're NOT paying for yourself... auto insurance, vehicle registration, college tuition, living spaces, cellphone family plan... Paying for your own life is how life is supposed to be, not something to brag about.

Start Time: 2:25:25 PM; End Time: 2:41:24 PM

Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:33:34 PM) and btw, u r still bothering me with nothing constructive
red says: (2:33:35 PM) dumb people are like horses
[Dumb people think horses are dumb...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:33:47 PM) so maybe u outta take a hike and not bother me
red says: (2:33:50 PM) you are bothering me with your non-constructive name
[Oh, "red" is obviously SO profound and constructive...btw, I didn't ask you to add me OR look at my screen name. Who's the idiot now? Come again?]
red says: (2:34:01 PM) henry, don't be jealous
[My, my. The 3,000 year old "you're jealous" statement. Must be running outta things to say...]
red says: (2:34:09 PM) oh god... jealousy...
[Starting to repeat here...]
red says: (2:34:15 PM) coming out from a guy...
[Still in circle...]
red says: (2:34:18 PM)is sick
[Yep. He has nothing up his sleeves.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:34:24 PM) my name is gonna be there whether u like it or not
[This would be a sign to tell you that you're raising a invalid argument...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:34:28 PM) u r the one that added me
[I am spelling it out now, okay?]
red says: (2:34:32 PM) i did?
[Whoa, we got a bright one here...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:34:33 PM) u r the one that message me
red says: (2:34:34 PM) =.=
red says:(2:34:47 PM) your the one that poped up on my msn
[It's "you're", stupid. And don't blame me for my screen name popping up. Turn off your logging warning inside preference, genius.]
red says: (2:34:49 PM) with your name
[Obviously, not very savy when it comes to MSN interface.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:34:53 PM) so who the frak is initiating this convo?
[This would be a reminder to the first warning...]
red says: (2:34:59 PM) i feel bad that you work in a warehouse or something
[Oh, the 2,000 year old "putting me down" argument.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:35:04 PM) sorry
red says:(2:35:08 PM) hahaha
[And he's very proud of that lame come back.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:35:09 PM) I am a real manager
[Art Director, to be exact. But you wouldn't know since you're so good of a no-talent boss.]
red says: (2:35:15 PM) real estate?
[Someone with English proficiency problems trying to sound smart again...]
red says: (2:35:26 PM) do you manage yourself?
[More lame personal attacks, huh?]
red says: (2:35:28 PM) lol
["lol" is not a word. Way to go, no-talent boss.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:35:40 PM) I make sure life is easier for ppl below me
[And that is why I am a real team player...]
red says: (2:35:41 PM)managers come in different sizes
["Sizes"?!]
red says: (2:35:47 PM) well
[Go on. Say something. Anytme, now]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:35:48 PM) yea
red says: (2:35:52 PM) you are not supposed to do that
[This must be referring to I am not supposed to be good to my employees...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:35:54 PM) the fat ones that sit on their asses
[This must be the "size" you were referring to since they ain't done jack.]
red says: (2:35:59 PM) you are supposed to GIVE THEM HELL
[That was another attempt to sound clever, wasn't it?]
red says: (2:36:08 PM) so they are trained
[You don't think I have heard that one before from another useless manager?]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:36:14 PM) and this conversation is over
[Unlike you, I gotta get back to work. And you haven't shown me that you can carry good conversation.]
red says: (2:36:19 PM) by all means
[Oh, so we are trying to turn this into "you're taking the high road after starting some shit"?]
red says: (2:36:24 PM) go back to work
red says: (2:36:25 PM) =.=
[How old are we, anyway? ascii faces?]
red says: (2:36:44 PM) too bad you still work for people
[So we are going back to putting me down to make you feel better?]
red says: (2:36:50 PM) be a boss some day
red says: (2:36:56 PM) like me
[Anyone can start a business and be a boss. Not everyone can be a good boss]
red says: (2:36:57 PM) =)
[Yeah. Sorry. My mom didn't give me any money to start a business just so she doesn't have to tell her friends that her son can't stay at a real job.]
red says: (2:37:11 PM) so you can manage managers
[Circles. Circles. Running in circles...]
red says: (2:37:12 PM) =)
red says: (2:37:14 PM) BYEBYE
[Oh no. Don't think you can get the last word and cop out.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:37:28 PM) and then be a pussy to the wife at home
[That's what you are, pussy.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:37:31 PM) perfect
red says: (2:37:39 PM) hahahahhaha
[Yeah, that's him buying time to think of a come back...]
red says: (2:37:44 PM) how did you know that
[...1...]
red says: (2:37:44 PM) lol
[...2...]
red says: (2:37:47 PM) HAHAHAHAHA
[...3...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:37:49 PM) I am certain
red says: (2:37:53 PM) its truth..
[Oh, folding like a deck of cards...]
red says: (2:37:58 PM) only because i love her?
[...Wait, that's the best come back you got? "love her"? And look who's on the defense now?]
red says: (2:38:01 PM) =)
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:38:09 PM) cus u added me and told u cant ride a bike cus ur wife wouldnt let u
red says: (2:38:21 PM) i did?
[...Someone is really clueless today...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:38:26 PM) that has notthing to do with love
red says: (2:38:31 PM) nah
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:38:34 PM) it's call u have ur balls in her purse
red says: (2:38:34 PM) u don't understand women
[Oh, look who's making that claim?! No one understands women. WOMEN don't understand woman.]
red says: (2:38:45 PM) evn though i make all the money...
red says: (2:38:48 PM) but she calls the shots
[...hmm... is he seeing the light finally?]
red says: (2:38:58 PM) BECAUSE i let her do that
[...NAHT!!!]
red says: (2:39:04 PM) its called respect
[Yeah, keep on trying to convince yourself that. What "respect" are you giving by letting someone bossing you around, boss man? Respect my ass. You don't even have self-respect. It's your money and you're letting someone else telling you whether you can spend it or not. And you call it "love" and "respect"? I call that "whoop" and "pussified".]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:39:09 PM) see if u can NOT let her do that
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:39:15 PM) I doubt it
red says: (2:39:19 PM) sure i could
[Every pussy makes this claim... None has proof.]
red says: (2:39:30 PM) but i prefer listening to her
[Further proving that he has his balls in her purse... and of course the words are empty because he WANTS to be on a leash. Let's see you show us you have the balls to stand up for yourself]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:39:30 PM) a moron and a pussy
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:39:34 PM) that's just great
red says: (2:39:35 PM) sure i am
red says: (2:39:40 PM) keep on attacking me personally
[...Oh, so I am attacking you? What the frak were you doing earlier in the conversation?!]
red says: (2:39:48 PM) because your boss told you to do all the work
[...See? No new material...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:15 PM) funny how u r pretending to take the high road
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:20 PM) cus u started this shit
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:22 PM) u wanna cop out?
red says: (2:40:25 PM) no i didn't
[Oh yes you did... Moron.]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:30 PM) yes u did
[Please, nigga.]
red says: (2:40:34 PM) no i didn't
[Yeah, someone's retarded...]
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:38 PM) u r the one that started this conversation
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:39 PM) moron
red says: (2:40:44 PM) keep saying that
[...Wah... Wah... I can't beat Henry at my game...]
red says: (2:40:50 PM) maybe it makes you feel better
[Oh, and a hyporcrite...]
red says: (2:40:51 PM) =)
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:40:57 PM) it doesnt
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:41:03 PM) cus whatever u screw up
Henry: If I am doing all that work, what are you doing? says: (2:41:06 PM) it's ur life

>>>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<<<

Let's get something straight, WangTian77@xxxmail.com: YOU initiated this conversation. YOU initiated name calling. YOU tried to sound funny and clever but failed miserably at both. And if you had anything that looks like a brain in that big head of yours, you would've at least kept track of the conversation so that you can at least not sound so hypocritical.

No, really. Who's the idiot?!

...because you don't. Especially when it comes the NBA.

At a random event, some guy in a group conversation asked what were the last DVDs everybody saw. When I told them it was "Ultimate Jordan 23" disc 1, the guy somehow, as any typical I-will-disagree-just-so-I-can-be-the-first-person-to-say-things-this-way-and-look-deep person,
decided to point out that there's "no point" watching Michael Jordan's highlights anymore, because he's not the best player. Kobe Bryant is.

True. MJ is over 40 years old. Kobe has the advantage over him.

Of course, he said at any age MJ was, Kobe was a better player at the same age.

Yeah, yeah. Every ignorant person thinks he knows better, which is essentially what made him ignorant. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who actually look back into the NBA for a few years, would NEVER say such a dumb statement.

Stupid Lakers Fan!

Where do you think Kobe, and every shooting guard that came into the NBA in the last 10 years, got their games from? That's correct: They ALL watched Jordan. Of course, all of them, like all you couch-basketball-players, only saw what Jordan did on the offensive end, and were never the same competitor Jordan was. How many "next Jordan"s have been labelled in the last decade? None of them lived up to the hype. Kobe, at best, is a Michael Jordan 2.0. But that still makes him a "me2" player. Not the first.

At this point, the guy wanted to change topic. I stopped him. I told him that since he took the first jab, he'd better man up to take the retaliation hits.

If you I-super-know-lots-about-basketball-because-I-watched-some-Lakers-games has ever seen MJ at the peak of his career, you can always tell that his speed, reflex, shots, dunks all game as a natural instinct. Natural: it's why every move MJ made was carried out with grace. Comparing those moves to that of Kobe's, you can tell everything is calculated and choreographed. It shows that Kobe is an intelligent player. It also shows that his move was from something that he has seen before. For those of you idiots that have to ask: He learned it from watching Michael Jordan.

What makes Kobe the closest thing to MJ 2.0 is the fact that he has the basketball I.Q. to play good defense. But unlike MJ, he isn't able to sustain the defensive prowess for the whole game. I don't blame him. Jordan is simply unmatched in his mental toughness, which is what drove him beyond his physical limits.

Ever heard of "The Jordan Rule"? Look it up on Google. Kobe never had to face that rule, due to the fact that NBA got cleaned up big time from its physicalness. The MJ vs. Kobe scoring stats may be comparable, but Jordan always scored with a considerable more amount of defensive pressure from his opponents.

If you Laker fans believe, even for a tiny bit, that you like the sports of basketball, then you should truly adjust your mentality and accept the fact that the best player that played the game of basketball doesn't wear a Laker uniform. You're seeing the NBA on television because of MJ. Not Kobe. If you're just favor Kobe, then your opinion lacks any proper comparison and good thinking, thus making it nothing but a lousy, uneducated statement. If you never seen any video footages of MJ at his primes (he had more than one), and have the audacity to claim validity on your MJ vs. Kobe statements, you're just flat out an idiot.

...I just love the hypocrisy of having a Bible-stomper telling me that I shouldn't believe everything I read... It's nasty when people chew with their mouth open... And don't know how to slow down to minimize their chewing noise... No one needs to see or hear you eat... And then talk with mouths full of food... And then deliberately do it more excessively as if he was cute... Grown men shouldn't act cute... Acting cute doesn't hide insecurity and embarasment... Being gay is unnatural. But it's not wrong...  How many times do I have to hear a Bible-stomper argue that "It's what I am told so I believe it"... A person that constantly screams "don't judge me" judges others all the time... Eating other people's left overs is gross... Asking for other people's left over is what a bum does... Claiming "I don't like to waste food" is a lousy attempt to disguise a disgusting habit... Whatever convinces yourself, I guess... If Hurricane Katrina is God's punishment to the gay people of New
Orleans, why did he take away the lives of all the faithful good
people? Why not just have the flood during Mardi Gras, so he only punishes the gay and not the innocent bystanders... Oh, so when a good person's life is taken prematurely, God has plans for him... And when a bad person gets away with something, God will, eventually, whenever that will be, punish him... Is that why George W. Bush is still alive... He
lied to millions and rage war on Iraq, killed millions just to get
Halliburton, Dick Chaney's company, the control of the oil business
there... But Bush says he's Christian, so he's gotta be good... And the people he's responsible killing weren't Christians, so they deserved going to hell, right... Whatever convinces yourself, I guess...
"Everyone is entitled to an opinion" is a crap of a cop out to admit flaw in thoughts and words... People shouldn't answer questions directed at me for me... I can't understand people that insist on saying something when they don't have the answer for the question... Not being able to admit "I don't know" tells me a lot about the person... I can't stand people that argue on and on about things they don't know enough about. And then go on and on when they can't make any constructive points... Really, they are just making themselves look more like idiots while attempting to make themselves look less dumb... Doesn't the idea "Going into Iraq to protect our freedom" sound retarded to anyone at all? Because, you know, Iraq is REALLY threatening us just by sitting there... And you know, attacking people that hasn't done anything to us really is what protecting ourselves mean... Where was Osama Bin Laden again... Oh, not in Iraq. But you don't care... Most people argue to win. Being right or not isn't even on their minds... I am pretty fed up from hearing "It won't happen again" time after time from the same people... People that are so dense to see what they are doing wrong shouldn't be blaming people for not telling them straight up... How much of a coward are you to have to point your fingers at everywhere else... They then get all defensive about it when you tell it to them straight up... And start pulling words outta their asses to defend what they have done... Yes, that means lying and making things up to make themselves look less guilty of their acts... People like that don't get to call other people stupid or talk down to them... Because they clearly don't have the courage to accept faults or be honest about themselves...
People shouldn't complain about how others judge them by what they've
done their past, when all they do is bringing up old shit others have
done in the past... If you can't let go other people's past in relation to you, why should they let go yours...
People whom chewed out others for ditching bros for ho's, then turned
around to do the same thing make me sick to my stomach... What makes a person think that he can diss his friends and just come back when he and his ho didn't work out... Especially when he did the exact opposite of what he preaches... People respect me because I walk the walk... You can talk my talk. But I am still the one walking the walk... Any squid of a rider can go fast in a straight line... Because that's when the bike most balanced. Physics 101... Being more comfortable with going faster on a bike doesn't mean one's ready for a bigger bike... The whole idea of having a bike with smaller displacement is so that you can practice how to lean and turn... Why do squids that ride 20+ mph over the speed limits say crap like "I can't believe I got a speeding ticket"? If you knowingly break the law, why do you complain when you get caught... Just because you went from whoring one products to another, doesn't mean you got cooler... Erasing the evidence of your being, what are you, Gatsby... Be comfortable of who you are already... I said "be comfortable". Not boasting, especially when you're in front of girls... Girls weren't borne yesterday, either...
It bothers me when someone asks me for my insights, then responds with
something along the lines of "pssh, oh yeah, I totally knew that. It's
common sense"... If you knew, why do you ask... It tells me a lot about a person's insecurity when the person acts like a know-it-all... If you don't have anything to add to the conversation, why do you waste my time... Then the person brings up the issue a few weeks later, repeating my response as if he came up with it... Yeah. Thoughtful... Who are you fooling... When you have to think about "something", you're probably not doing "it". Because if you have already applied "it" to your life, then the action is second nature... Indeed, I am the one walking the walk... Basketball is a team game. Yet 99% of players I met plays it like the ball belongs to them... And everyone I know claims to be that 1%... Most of their idea of a team game equates to "I'll dribble till I have to give the ball up to look like Magic Johnson"... "Or else I'll just look like Kobe Bryant."... Playing without the ball is a lost art... Speaking of Kobe Bryant: He's by far the best player in the world at the moment... More the reason he should be traded. The pretentious people of Los Angeles don't deserve good players like him... It takes a retarded amount of ego for any average player to think
he should be hold on to the ball until the double team comes... FYI, you ain't good enough to draw double team... It takes, like I said, a retarded amount of ego, for anyone to think he's above any team environment... Being a leader of a team is still being part of the team, you moron... Funny how so many self-proclaimed leaders have this misconception
that being a leader means telling everyone else what to do and do
nothing themselves... I love it when someone emails me to tell me that he wants to talk to me face to face... Then never answers my phone calls... What's the point of telling me to be a leader when everything I lead off is met with a "no"... Don't tell me how to be professional when everything you do with your position is self-serving... It disgusts me to see people thinking that they're entitled to the lead position they didn't earn... How would you understand the people that follow you when you've never done any of the stuff they go through... You're not entitled to respect, either. You have to earn them... Maybe you should try respecting other people first... Leaders are borne. Not self-proclaimed... FYI, the creative director at work just told me recently that he saw some strength in me that he didn't know I have... Which was leading two junior production artists through the overwhelming projects... And not leaving work before they do just because I got my end of things done before they did... It's called "leading by example" for all you talkers out there... Yes, I am the one that walks the walk... I am a firm believer that if you use up more space than your roommates, you should pay more rent... The biggest hypocrisy in a relationship is that a woman goes into
rage about signing a prenup because it is unromantic and that it is a
sign of equating money with love... Then comes around and believe they are entitled to half of what you make when she and you no longer have the love... So, let me get this straight: if women think they are entitled to your money just cus they sleep with you... Doesn't that just make them whores... I tell girls to stop claiming that they have control of their emotions, like telling me they are "gonna stay single for awhile." Then goes around a week later that they've met the love of their lives, AGAIN... Talk about having no strength to be independent... How many times do I have to hear a girl tell me "I am gonna start looking beautiful for myself" after getting dumped... Only to see them not caring about their looks after locking down another guy... Here's a hint, ladies: Don't blame the guys for change of heart, when you decided to change your shape... To a ball... Accept the fact, girls: you never look pretty just for yourself... Because when you look hot, you get the attention from us... If you're gonna dress in revealing clothes to a club, don't be complaining about guys looking at you... You don't go clubbing because you like to dance... You go clubbing because you like guys to check you out while you dance... Isn't it great whenever I say something along the line of "Most of
the time..." or "Most people..." I get responses like "Not all the
time" or "Not all people"... Which part of my statement said "all" anyway... Everyone wants to tell me they are the exception to the rule, and that I am so wrong about people... Then they get screwed by those "exceptions" and tell me about their experiences as if I've never warn them... Does the phrase "reinventing the wheel" ring a bell inside that pile of putty you call brain... Here's a story: A person attempts to brag to me about how $5 gets double the size portion of a slurpee than paying $4 at a theatre. When I told him it's matter of marginal utility, he told me not to give him any of that "economics crap"... By the way, what type of mentality did you think you were using when you decided on paying that extra dollar to get more slurpee? ECONOMICS... and if you really want to brag about saving money, go walk 6 blocks and get your slurpee there for $1.86... It's all about economics! That's why you pay $5 for a goddamn slurpee... Tell me what's wrong with this following picture: A person walks into McDonald's, and holds up the traffic looking through the menus to see which combo meal is healthier... Whatever convinces yourself, I guess... I hate it when someone tries to pass some obvious and cheesy statement off as something profound, like "If you work hard, in time, people will see" or "Everyone is special in their own ways"... First of all, no one will see, because they're either too oblivious to see or just don't care... And to say everyone is special in their own ways, you might as well say no one is... Be a little creative for goodness sake... In fact, just talk... Stop "trying" to be funny, or smart, or profound... Everyone wants to claim that he/she is one and only, that he/she is SO different from the rest... But when it comes to walking the walk, he/she is just the same like everyone else... Yeah, yeah. I am sure you're going to tell me that these "different" people are what makes the world so great... And no, these people are what makes the smart and good people look so great to the world...

I speak the truth. Whether you like it or not, it's the frakkin' truth. Get over it.

A colleague passed on some of the sketch card assignments to me. I was excited to be able to work on them. Unfortunately, only one person who buys a box of the cards will see each of these artwork, as these are original and one and only available. Hopefully, I will get to do something that will give my work a bigger circulation number in the future soon.

Last year this day, I successfully passed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course in the scorching heat and obtained my motorcycle license. From then on till early May, I practiced on a little Ninja 250, then moved on to my dream bike, the '07 RR. I enjoy this new hobby quite a lot, and I am still looking for more time and opportunity to learn.

One would think that I'm a pretty confident rider by now...

I am actually more scared an respectful than ever about jumping onto my bike, even though it saves me so much time by carving through traffic and given me the ability to smoke a viper at 1/4 of gasoline cost of my WRX.

Still trying to find that comfort zone. It's a lot of machine to handle.
