British wannabe Yanks

You have no idea how much I loathe the Yank’s influence on British culture. The only thing we have in common, aside from economic ties and our sometimes immoral military alliance, is that they speak a bastardised version of English.

Do none of these British wankers in England realise they’ll never be American? What irritated me into writing this was I was watching Craig David on Youtube talking about the making of the video ‘6 of 1 thing’. At the end he stuck up his two fingers in the American way of saying ‘peace’. That idiot knows damn well he’s British and it means something else. What’s the deal with trying to act, think and talk like an American? Wannabe punks!

Even when I lived in the States myself, I never wanted to be American and tried hard NOT to pick up any Yank habits.

Another thing that pisses me off… there’s some decent musical artists coming out of the U.K in all different genres… but what irritates me is when some of them start to become commercially successful, they slowly start to change how they pronounce words when they’re singing. Nothing I hate more than a British person trying to sing like a Yank. IDENTITY CRISIS! Just makes me wanna slap someone!

What a fucking croc!

I’m pissed off!  A friend got mad at me because they listened to some worthless pieces of dog-shit who were gossiping.

How many times do I have to say it before it’ll get through to this friend?  THEY’RE LYING SACKS OF SHIT!

What kind of a friend listens to gossiping people over a supposed friend?  Do I not have the right to be pissed off?  Am I being unreasonable that a person who said they were my friend listens to someone else and won’t listen to me?

To top that off… that friend wouldn’t reply to any text messages or offline PM’s, so I text and ask ‘are you going to reply’.   I then get a call saying that the person doesn’t want to be friends.  Like I’m supposed to be psychic and know when the friend is mad or not?  The friend did say they were irritated and annoyed because of what they’d heard from other people about what I’ve been saying.  Was that an indication they were mad?  Well if the anger is based solely on a falsehood, then why should I take that into account?  If that friend is mad at me because of LIES… should I give them a wide berth?

This is not how friends are supposed to treat each other.

Why Me?

I’m sure literally billions of people since the dawn of time have asked themselves that question.  It’s stupid that not good things happen to essentially good people.  I’m one of those essentially good people.  Note the operative word being ‘essentially‘.

Yesterday I blogged about the one friend I have here.  Not even two hours AFTER I posted that blog,  that friend asked me to give them room.  That didn’t feel good at all.  I don’t purposely try to hang out with one person all the time, but when you literally only have one friend, there’s not many choices of people to hang out with when you don’t want to be alone. I really ought to make an effort to acquire more friends.  The problem is I simply don’t have the will or motivation to do that.  It’s hard trying to pull motivation out of thin air.  Back in London, I had no problem acquiring  buddies… but here it’s a different story.

I’ll tell ya this though… I had an absolutely excellent evening.  Well almost excellent.  I sat at home on my carpet reading a book, whilst listening to Enigma, and then the soundtrack to ‘Last of the Mohicans’.  Tonight it’ll probably be Schindler’s List soundtrack playing.  Having no television really helps a person become less brainwashed.  I might even go as far as purposely not getting a satellite connection.  Have to see how that pans out.

I got rather angry yesterday – someone told a lie about me to someone else.  That really pissed me off to no end.  I’m hoping the person who the lie was told to didn’t believe it.

I have a lot of problems with people misunderstanding my intentions or why I do or say stuff.  I’ve always had that problem and it’s starting to affect my life.  It makes me sad for a person when they think a friend is trying to get something from them because they try to do nice things for them frequently.  That person can’t have had people being nice to them all the time, and it makes me sad for that person. Especially when they really are a stupendously excellent person.  Hopefully I can make up for that.

Aloof and snooty

One thing I really despise is some of the snooty and pompous morons on a support forum I frequent.  Whilst it is a support forum primarily there is a section of the forum for off topic discussion which can basically mean anything can be talked about.

But as soon as a topic such as religion or politics comes up and someone posts a conflicting opinion,  there’s a core crowd on the the board that will ALL insult or put that person down if just one of that crowd does it.  It’s like they’re a bunch of sheep – if one sheep does something, then they all do it.

I despise people who think they’re too good to talk about controversial subjects.  What a bunch of idiots.

On another note… I spoke to a friend on MSN Messenger that I hadn’t spoke to in a while.  Her name’s Reem Ibrahim.  She’s from Jordan and has American citizenship through her dad.  I met her on the plane to England maybe five years ago.   I wish I could have videotaped her and shown that video to some of the ignorant assholes in this town – she’s Arab and she’s Muslim but nothing like the stereotypes I hear people in Kenora have of Muslim women from the Middle East.  Anyways… she’s currently doing an MBA in Switzerland now and all is well which is good.

Criticism and slackers

One of the Band Members on the native reserve I live on made a protest yesterday which I was quite impressed with. {{post id=”dalles-member-willing-to-crawl-for-help” text=”Albert Jamieson crawled on his hands and knees in the dark all the way to town.”}}

The thing about it is that right or wrong, Albert was doing something for others, and what he thought was right.  There’s not a single other person on the rez that has the conviction to do that.  Yet people on the rez were calling the Band Office and calling each other and gossiping about how Albert was embarrassing them.  What’s embarrassing is these lardass lazy gits willing to try and talk crap about someone who’s getting off his ass and doing something right.

That pissed me off and made me realise that people are going to talk shit about anyone who’s shows some initiative, and a desire to make life better.  If anything makes these gossiping philistines look bad, then they’ll do just that – gossip.  Not a single other Band Member joined him to help.  Fucked up thing is I don’t see this bullshit happening off-rez.

Why do people have to talk shit and call each other after seeing him on the road and talk about it?  Why couldn’t these nosey busy-bodies take him some coffee or food?  Probably because they have pathetic fucked up lives.

For the record – I do NOT KNOW ANYONE’S NAME.  I don’t know the identity of gossipers – just that it’s a fact people were complaining.  Sad bastards.
