Bad Mood Post

Alright guys. Im in a REALLY bad mood today. People are just doing things that really piss me off. Like most everyone, there are a few basic qualities that some people exhibit that really piss me off. The first is extreme selfishness. People who are content to make others sacrifice something very significant so they can have something little. That irritates me. Some selfishness is ok and even encouraged. However, not to a significant degree. I like the "i'm gonna get mine" attitude. I dont like the "i'm gonna get mine, and yours, and everyone elses" attitude. The second and perhaps the most significant source of my irritation the past few days is people who do not do what they say they're going to do. In regards to all of these, I just wish people cared enough or had enough pride for all of these things. If you tell me you are going to do something, then make damn sure you do. If you cannot or will not do it, fine, but dont tell me you will.

Lets start with the first one. I dont understand how some people can be ok with a person sacrificing something that is very important to them so that the other person can be comfortable. I see people doing this all the time and it irritates me to no end. Give you an example just off the top of my head. Its chilly outside. Guy and a girl walking together. Guy has a sweater on and girl has a heavy coat on. Girl gets mad because she's a little cold and the guy doesnt want to give her his sweater. Keep in mind, the guy only has an undershirt one under the sweater. So now the girl has it exactly her way, sweater, coat, warm and cozy. Guy...frozen.

Second one. This has been a big one for me lately. I have always been the type, if i borrow something from you, I will hunt you down to return it. If I have something and somebody is really needing it, I will make myself available for them to get it. I certainly will not ignore their phone calls until I finally tell them, oh I dont have it anymore. This kind of shit is grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar. Another one, if I tell someone I am able or going to do something for them, you can bet I will make it happen and certainly will go back because its a little more convenient for me. This has happened to me no less than a dozen times recently. With some of them, I try to be understanding, but when its the same people doing it over and over and over again, shame on me for not learning my lesson sooner. Ok, with all of that done, I have very few pictures from my birthday (see the above paragraph for an explanation as to why I dont have more). Birthday was very exciting. Lots of folks came out and I think everyone had a good time. Thanks to The Marq for hosting us all. I think they benefited because we filled the place up for the first time in a while. I have attached a few pictures below.

Good things from the birthday party: Jon showing up unannounced from Zurich, Switzerland for it. Talk about a surprise. That's really cool of him, especially when I have an entire town full of friends in San Antonio who wouldn't even bother to respond to the evite or told me they would come and then didn't bother to show or let me know they weren't coming. I guess that one hour drive down Interstate 35 is a little more tedious than a 13 hour transatlantic flight. Another good thing from the party is I stayed relatively sober. For those who were there last year at the party, yall remember how out of hand it got. Managed to keep the composure the whole time.

I have much more to post (I havent even reached the big drama that occurred last Monday). Ill write some more later this afternoon.

So see the few pics of the bday below and the Plaza pool party on Saturday and Carlos and Charlies Saturday night.
