Complainer

Admittedly I'm a complainer.

In this age, people are lucky to have a job period.

Here I sit on my throne and ponder why I should bother coming into to work at all.

Yes... I sit here, waiting for a layoff and my April bonus while others suffer.

Do I deserve to have the easy life?  Now don't get me wrong, I don't have an easy life by any means, but clearly I am not suffering.

Should I feel the suffering of others more and help them in order to reach enlightenment?

Am I spouting off senseless nonsense that is a collection and intermingling of various movies and TV shows I've seen in my past ?

Do biore men's strips really do anything useful or are they excessively removing stuff from pores?

Tis the mysteries of life.  

living life

In Kabukicho, you can buy condoms in giant size boxes, in S,M,L,LL sizes!  

Black charred ramen. Quite good ramen here but you must venture out and look.  I am beginning to think I need to get a car, or at least get a license so I can rent a car regularly.

This weekend I did domesticated life with Miss Korea.  We went to Costco and IKEA, stayed home and moped about.  On Sunday I admit I wondered to myself whether this is the life I am ready for.. doing nothing at home...   its weird, I think w/ my last gf, I got sick of going out and wanted to just stay home and do nothing on the weekend, but I think she wanted to do more stuff.  Now have the tables turned??  

Hmmm... not sure.  

Oh well, at least I have a job for now.

Fallout

The end is near for my company's way of life.  We are all moving out of our offices soon to a new location, to be hardcore Japanese people and live the samurai way!

For now, I am starting to get busy after numerous re-orgs..  above is what a power-developers desk looks like.  4 monitors (2 x19", 2 x17"), and a bloomberg terminal next to me (2 x 19")..  it creates envy amongst others in IT, so it is a rare sight to have such a lavish setup.  In my case, our office is abandoned so scaveging parts is fine.

2009 bodes to be interesting.

Spent the weekend sick at home.  I discovered  I can still have sex while having a cold.

Seoul Fun

So I went to Seoul.  Miss Korea knows her way around these joints which is good.  

Seoul is fun, many reasons.  Food is outstanding and cheap as hell.  Kalbi/bbq for 2 w/ beer is like $20-25 nowadays due to the exchange rates.  I bought a fake D0lce&Gabana scarf for $5, cheap gloves for $1.  Awesome stuff.  Taxi's are cheap too.  4-star hotels $140, 5-star $190.  Smell of kimchee is everywhere though god dammit.

My cousin Steve-o was telling me how he also has trouble finding a good mate.  he's 40 now so he realizes its harder since the girls he's dating are late 20's early 30's and many have problems of past relationships, etc.  The latest girl is an actress and she has problems of being depressed due to the lack of her career going anywhere.  

On the flip side, he's dating a hot 28 yo model for god's sake!  He also has 7 pairs of Ferragamo shoes, so he is money.  Grass is always greener.. I'm sure the married folks who found their mates younger in life have some days when they ponder what it'd be like to be free... and let me tell you, I did when I was in a LT relationship.  And now that I'm single, I envy those who found someone early in life before life battered their impressions of humanity and made them haters.

Then again, some are just haters by nature, and some love life.  Just need to find people who love life.  Come to think Miss Korea doesn't seem to love life much, thats one of the problems with her.

And now work comes to fruition.. big bosses seem to have a new role for me.... and its in Tokyo!  Hmmmm I thought I was moving to HK??  Oh well live has a way of rerailing the best laid plans.  Haha.
