Trainstopping

I was late for work today because the train in front of mine got held up by somebody standing on the tracks. Fuckin' Japan! Think about it. Would a person on the tracks even cause the train to slow down in America!? Fuck no! The driver would probably speed up to make it a cleaner kill.

Rice Farming

Last night I jogged four miles then on the way home stopped at the bar and had three beers. I think that totally negates the run. Or do I end up even steven? Or what?

We planted rice at school today. How Japanese is that!? Of course I had to listen to a twenty minute speech about how rice is a gift from the gods. I understand that rice tastes good and its the staple food of Asia but its really not as important as this country makes it out to be. Its not like rice can beat you in an arm wrestling match. Its not like rice can change your tire for you. Its not like rice can stop an atomic bomb from being dropped on a couple of your cities.

This is not rocket science people!

Everyday I take the train from my house to the town where I work. From the train station there I have to take a bus to the kindergarten. There is basically only one bus line in town. It makes a loop between the two train stations on either end of the city. The bus stop has a sign with the bus times. Its so fucking easy. There is an area for weekdays, one for weekends, and then another for holidays. You could be clinically brain dead and figure this out. Well at least I thought so. Every single day I go to the bus stop I see at least a half dozen morons staring at it like they are trying to read the blue prints to the god damn voyager space craft! I just wanna rub there face in it like a puppy that's just poopooed on the floor.
"Look at that! Look at that! What does it say right there?! It says 9:40. The bus is coming at 9:40 you dumb son of a bitch!!"

Beer Gardening

Kirin World Beer Garden here in Osaka has only been open a week but I've been there twice already. I love that place. Its probably one of the only things still keeping me fettered to Japan. Its all you can eat and drink for about $30. That's a great deal especially if you consider a fucking large pizza costs thirty bucks here.
I think my dad summed it up best when we were at the beer garden last summer and he said, "If I lived in Japan I'd come here everyday!!"

Urinal Blues

I went to Mt. Kongo for the 28th time yesterday. It was like retart day up at the top. There were about ten raging retarts doing their thing up there. Now don't get me wrong, I think its a good thing when their handlers take them out on these like day trips. Not to mention that it provides entertainment for the rest of us.
Most of the mentally handicapped are like big fuzzy teddy bears but ever so often you get a mean fucker in the bunch.
I was taking a pee in the far urinal in the little toilet shack they have up there when all of a sudden I'm shoved outta the way and immediately I'm peeing two urinals down without missing a beat. I look in the direction where hence I came and there's a big ol' retart scowling at me and getting ready to do his thing. His handler was all apologetic and whatnot. In the end it didn't really bother me that much. I'm mean, what could I have done anyway? Beat his ass? Beating up a retart is worse than beating up a girl.

Cherokee Ali








Braggart
You are 71% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant.
You are the Braggart! Like Muhammad Ali, you would surely tell everyone that you are "The Greatest" whilst bragging incessantly about your intelligence, your skills, and your abilities. You tend to be a thinker rather than a feeler, and combined with your extroversion and arrogance, this makes you someone who probably just LOVES to brag about his accomplishments. Despite this, however, you are a very gentle, tender person and truly care about others' feelings. You just happen to care more about yourself. Unlike Ali, of course, you are rather rational as opposed to emotional, and you are also much more gentle. But his arrogance and extroversion best reflect the most visible aspects of your personality. Your personality defect is the fact that you are extremely overconfident, extroverted, and perhaps rather lacking in emotions. YOU ARE THE GREATEST! Or so you keep telling yourself every night, in hopes that eventually everyone else on the planet will agree. Well, sorry, we probably won't.


To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.


Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Bitch-Slap.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Haughty Intellectual, and the Capitalist Pig.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

Hell in the Vegetable Aisle

Why does a trip to the grocery store in Japan always have to rival a trip through the depths of hell? Why!? Why!? Why!?

All I wanted was some juice. But its only two aisles over Cherokee, just walk over there and get it. Oh nooooooo! Not here my friends. Between me and the juice are six old ladies either a) talking in the middle of the aisle with no intention of letting anybody go by or b)walking diagonally back and forth not paying a lick of attention where they are going. Aaaaaaaah!
I can almost grab the juice from here. Let's go around you say. No dice! More old ladies! And they're all wearing those creepy old lady hats! I'm trapped. Act natural. Look at the...um...corn soup and act like this is exactly where you wanna be. Oh fuck...They're closing in. Somebody please kill me!
