Useless! Useless! Useless!

This summer has been a shitty time for me. Shit happens, thats all I have to say. I mean I do things I regret, I push people farther from me, but I really never thought much of it, in fact I couldn't have cared less what happened. Cuz in my head I believed "drama and shit between people belonged in high school and that we are all too old for it". In a way I still agree it's stupid, but I realized it happens to all of us. Why do we love watching the drama's on tv? Watch how fucking stupid their lives are, or be amazed at how trivial human feelings really seem? Because we relate to them, we are all fucking retards. I'm a retard too in a way. I disappointed my parents, I disappointed my peers, I disappoint myself. I feel like I kno what my problem is, the last few years I've been stupid, and lazy. I'm obsessive, immature, my life is a fucking joke, or I treat it as one. I do stupid things like drink to forget my problem, spend shit loads of cash with my group of friends (the ones I call the fags). Why? So i can forget all my problems..... I say things like "I don't care about these people, so and so can go die, what do they do for me? Nice guy? I only pretend to be nice, I really think they are jackasses". I don't know why it comes to saying things like that, it's just that I think their problems are stupid, and so are mine.

I realized there are people I regret meeting in my lifetime, but I can't change that. Some of them I hate, some I want to put aside, but I can't. Their images linger in my head, making me wonder, what am I? What was I thinking? I will do stupid things, and I will do many more in the future. I am not good enough for anyone, but I can change. I want to be a good person, not the good person everyone tells me I am, but a real good person. Love what you are and not what you want to be? What an idiot, mediocrity gets me nowhere. Time to put my foot down, and anyone who tries to stop you? You tell them to fuck off! Putting behind your friends? You have no friends, lets be honest in this world you are alone. If you become dependent, then you are dead.

I guess I'm dead then. I don't want to deal with people, or tries to be the guy to satisfy everyone, because to be honest I can't satisfy anyone at all. I am useless, all I do is make people uncomfortable and pretend to be nice so I can suck their blood. Thats all people should see me as, and it's true, that's what I've been for the last while. Useless, useless, and useless. The word I so often use to accuse people, my lazy friends who are good for shit, my asshole fucking bus driver who is late when i go to school and leaves early without me when i go home, the people who really wouldn't give a shit what I felt about them, my family friends who say, "i should be this, i should be that". I dont need any of them, again... putting my foot down.

I rant about the same shit everytime but fuck... talking with some of the fags, I realize some of the things I do, make the people around me that I really care for  think of me as a retard, or a sociopath, or makes me do things that make me look like a huge retard.
I look again, on the people I know. What is life? On a molecular level, its what we eat and shit, sounds simple? But what is life really?I think life is what you do, how you do it, and the people you meet is a big part too. I look at the people I meet... okay so there are flaws with everyone but all in all, I really like them. I have the utmost respect for them. But that doesnt stop me from being an idiot, or a downright douchebag at that, and I'm sure thats what lots of people think of me as, I'm not good enough for them, they can't be bothered to associate with me, or talk to me as a human being, because I will just go fuck around and do nothing with my life. Well, if thats what you think... I agree with you, sometimes I wonder what life would be like without me =]

Be grateful you are alive to enjoy lifes wonders
Be grateful you have a family that loves you

Because sometimes those are the only things that keep us going

God luck to all and God bless

I wanna be a billionaire

So today, I've been thinking about school.
Why do I go to school? Well obviously I need to go right? I mean if I want to make tons of money right?
Well I've been thinking, what do I need a ton of money for?
I live in Canada, a country where you can get by doing almost anything. I mean I know plenty of family friends who work labour jobs, the kinda jobs we go to school to avoid, and true they might make little, and work longer. But to be honest, they can afford good (enough) cars, cable TV, and houses in nice neighborhoods. Well what else out of life do you want? They live very comfortably already.
I mean thinking on what my parents told me. about 3 or 4 years ago, they told me to work hard at school, become the doctor or the lawyer so I can make alot of money. Maybe it's my fault, or rather, it is my fault, but I can never be that great, I mean again, I have been struggling with my grades. When I told my grandparents and my parents, hey, I can't be what you wanted me to be, I'm sorry. This is what my mother had to say, she said, "Son, what you do means nothing to us, you do this for you, not for us. Raising you into a man is our only goal in life, and we are proud you made it this far. We just want you to work harder so you do not have to suffer like we did". That's when I realized how stupid I've been all these years. Who care's what I do? Who care's what kind of money I make? a million a year? 30 grand a year? What does money mean to me? Well sure, you want a bit more to buy a few luxuries in life. You want to be able to afford to buy nice things. Growing up here, when my dad was a grad student at the University and my mom had to work at a cafeteria, we were not well off at all then, we lived in a student housing complex, and we just had my brother back then too. We needed to pay for my fathers tuition, get a new house for me and my brother, but not only that, I didn't know at the time, but my mother tried so hard for us to have what all the better off kids had. She never held back on the spending buying me and my brother toys, and snacks, and I remember her saying, "tell me what the kids at school are packing for lunch, I will go pick some up".
Looking back on this, it really touched me. But it also made me realize, like I said, I'm lucky to live in a country, where the luxuries of life are affordable by everyone.
I know thinking about financial's and money and my future etc etc is something only senile or old people think of, but I guess it's unavoidable. But lately I listened to this song.


"I wanna be a billionaire..." sounds selfish right?
Well it is in a way. But listening to Travis McCoy's lyrics, "I'd prolly pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt, and adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had shit".
Just these simple little things, buying the dude a new skateboard, buying the guys CD, giving the graffiti artist some spray paint. "I'd prolly take whatever's left and just split it up, so everyone I love can have a couple bucks". I can sympathize with these words. I mean in the future, if I did get some baller high paying job, how much money can I possibly spend on myself? My ideal would be a simple job, where I am not too important, and not too low on the ladder. Where I can pay the bills, and have some savings. And in my free time, I wanna go home and buy candy for the kids in my village. And thinking back on this idea, it's not hard to do, I don't exactly need to be a billionaire. I remember maybe 2 years ago, my friend was complaining about how he can't do dentistry, I said, "Well whatever you do, just remember you will be well off doing anything". My friends being the usual pig heads said, "uhhhhhhhh nooo you have to be doctor etc etc etc...". Well they say what they want (they will learn sooner or later). Sometimes I don't know, if it's because they want to oppose anything I say, or it's because they are actually retarded. But in anycase, this brings me to what my dad was telling me a long time ago. It all started as an arguement, where I thought that my dad was spending too much money for our Christmas presents, and he told me, "Son, I'm holding money in my hands... those looking at these papers make you happy? What do you want me to save it for? Money's worth is that it can be turned into things you like! Don't worry son, even if I buy you some gifts you will have enough to buy you your favorite food on the table". That night I cried a little, I didn't know if it was because my father pitied for me and my brother or if he actually didn't mind spending. And I mean, by no means were we in huge financial trouble, I was probably just a really jewish baby. And I thought for myself for a bit these 10 years later. He is right, why should I have to save so much money? and not buy anything I like? So when I die, I can give it to my grandkids? so they can save, die and pass it on? No, they should enjoy their life. This doesn't mean you shouldn't conserve where you can, but that doesn't mean you should pinch your pennies to the max.
That's why I really loved that music video. It's not only a great song, but the images of Bruno and Travis going around helping teens who are on their own. It embodies all of our struggles as new adults making their mark on the world, living their lives, and following their dreams.
Of course, not everyone has the same luck I do. Where I'm from, I get some advantages, and I say this because I've lived on the other side. Back in China, my parents were university graduates and made very minimal wages, it took us 6 years to save up to buy a motorcycle (according to my por por). My dad was always under pressure at work, and my mom barely had time to spend with me. When we immigrated to Canada, we were met with luxuries that we couldn't have imagined back home. We could afford luxuries like TV and computers on not-so good wages, we could afford to buy meat, and milk everyday, and eggs. We started eating fruits and vegetables that we've never seen, and they were all affordable, making me realize, I live a very rich lifestyle already.
Going straight to the point, maybe I don't have a billion dollars, but I do feel like a Billionaire, I might not have a billion dollars, but I think I'm getting close to that feeling.
I am blessed to live in such a great place, and to have such great family. I don't tell them at times, but I am proud to be their son.
I want to wish luck to all you people out there, life is a struggle, one we can't win with money alone.

Goodluck and Godbless everyone.

What doing? Doing what?

This started a few months ago, where one of my friends texts me "what doing"
I didn't think much of it, so i replied normally
But for the next couple weeks, I see this huge chain of "what doing" going around
Now this is where the problems start.....
I mention once "God I hate when people type to me, What doing"
My friends being a bunch of douchebags decide to spam me "what doing"
You know, I'm not mad at how annoying it was. It's more like, I don't like the fact that my friends would purposely bother me.
So this brings me to the topic of friendship. What does that mean to you?
Friendship is something profound. Friendship does not mean association, well it does, but when we say association, there is a sense of pure mutualism between the people, whereas in friendship, when you are together with all your buddies, playing basketball, or pigging on food, you feel more intimacy towards each other (no homo).

This whole time I've been mad at the bunch of douchebags (my friends). I realize, well whatever they do, even if it is to intentionally bother me, I shouldn't get too angry. One other friend said to me, If you let their petty antics get to me, then I'm just as useless as they are. And he's right, I don't procrastinate my ass off, I don't have commitment issues, I don't like keeping to myself to make people feel awkward, I don't like farting in public, I don't like correcting people everytime even though I don't know shit about what I'm talking about, I don't nose into peoples personal business, I don't try to one-up people, I do not make all your goals sound impossible, I am not fake as shit, I don't show people personal items of interest, I do not try and take a photo of people while they are taking a shit, and I do not make people lie for my selfish need.
Wow, and you wonder why I'm friends with these retards... sometimes I wonder too. But to every bad side their is a good side, memories I will enjoy with them always. I don't know why, but with some of these people, my food tastes better, my drinks are colder, and when I laugh, I can't stop. You can call it, the perks of friendship, the real intimacy between your peers, and occasionally I don't mind how homo we act. Er well to be honest most of it is on purpose.
But back to the problem at hand, I think it's because I consider them my peers, my friends, that I find myself more and more angry. Why would they want to harass me like this? Again its not the stupid text message that bothers me, it's the idea, of one of these fags, putting on his stupid grin, giggling, pointing his finger at me yelling "WHAT DOING WHAT DOING WHAT DOING DOT DOT DOT OH EM GEE".
Sometimes I look forward to hanging out with them, sometimes I have dreams of punching their fugly grill and pushing them to the ground... then when they get up punching them again. And this makes me look into their ugly sides, and wonder... Why am I friends with them?
Sometimes they go too far, so naturally I get angry. I know some of them, if they read this will wonder "Oh why is that bad? I play a timeless joke and you get angry? meh meh meh meh....etc". And I just want to point out all the stupid shit that he is, how useless he is. But I don't, because I know I am just as bad as anyone. I'm doing terrible in school, I lie to myself all the time, my parents and grandparents put me down as a problem child years ago, my little brother doesn't look up to me at all. So what am I to blame them for being useless people. Useless is a bit of a harsh word, but in my eyes that is just my description. My description for anyone who is not who I wanted to be. A hard working student, responsible, punctual, honest, respectful to who ever, loved by friends and parents. All things I can never be, so maybe all those times my mother calls me useless, she's right.
Well, that's just how life goes, the wisest man I know (My dad) always said to me, "son, all people out there are stupid, do not depend on anyone". I used to take that message really seriously, but obviously that's not what he meant, he meant for me to be independent and take a stand against whoever stands in my endeavor. Whether it's studying hard, and getting on the right track, or it's telling my friends to STFU whenever they decide to spam me "what doing" for fun.
My friend said something to me, "you're too angry over small things, if you keep this up you will scare people away, those closest will run the farthest" Now whether what they say is true and meaningful, or they (like lots of people I know) are fake as shit. It doesn't matter, I am who I am, and I will live by the other words my dad said to me, "They give you shit? You give them shit!" in his Chinese accent. This little slogan I live by has gotten me into lots of trouble, but if they bring me trouble, I bring it to back to them =]
Anyways, it's funny how a simple stupid text message "what doing" made me think so much about the life I live. There is no excuse for any of them being as useless, or lazy, or unmotivated, or trying to belittle others, or taking and not giving back. They say things, that hurt or offend people, then they say "just kidding". Well sometimes when I listen to them, the JK loses all meaning, I can't tell they are joking when they say that, I just see people who are fake, who care about nothing but themselves, and will use their friends in w/e way they can. I know thats not what they are like, or sometimes I wish I could believe that, but recently I can't bring myself to think that.
As for myself, I try to be the best person I can be. The poor Newspaper carriers walk around the subway passing papers get ignored and shoved aside all the time, I always ask for one, and give them the sincere thank you they want to hear, I for one never read the news, but I think taking a bit of time out of my day to help in anyways is the right thing to do, I also think of myself as considerate, I call everyone by the title "bro", because what are they but my bro's? The people that I will live with and die with, the ones that I spent my young life with. But self praise is nothing without criticism, I am sometimes what I call "unintentionally lazy" or to be fair, I'm just a retard. When I left the stove on during a party and went downstairs to play, my friend told me, luckily no one was hurt, but the tone in his voice made me feel like shit. He was right, I am useless, or rather I am a retard.
So what I've learned from this is no matter how useless others are, I shouldn't care what they do, I can only strive to be perfect. Sure I wish I could be friends with them, and they acted a bit more considerately, and sure I wish they can overlook my flaws like I try to do with them. But sometimes I get overwhelmed (yeah that's just how useless i think they are sometimes haha). But anyways, no matter who I meet, or what kind of problems I may be having, perseverance is the only thing I can count on.

I strive for a better future, for myself, and those close to me. And to the asshole motherfkers who I called friends, just a word for the future, Karma will strike, and it will always be behind you.

Wow after reading all that, I do sound like a huge retard.

Til next time y'all!

Start of School Year

Yesterday was the start of a new school year, and my 4th year of university

I resolve to study hard, make the most of my time, and put aside all other things.

YEAH like that ever happens.
I've made this promise year after year, and what happens?
Starting day 1, I'm the good boy sitting front row fixated on my profs lecture.
Give it a couple months and I'm back to sleeping in till noon and falling asleep and drooling on my notebook.
But I have a feeling this year is gonna be different.

To all you kids out there going back to school, Goodluck and Godbless =]
