I just smile and wave..

Please play the song below and keep it on replay while reading this post. Trust me, it works better.



So it's been a while since I posted. Reason being is not because I ran out of things to rant about, but instead, I have so much things to rant about, I don't know which one is worth blogging about.

This post isn't going to be a full rant, though. It's going to be a part "shoutout" post.

The song that's currently playing is titled Smile and Wave by Huey ft. Dorrough. If you listen to the lyrics closely, they're talking about their success (like all other artists don't lol). Well out of all these money and success songs, this one really caught my attention, as they "smile and wave like the president."

Parts of the lyrics in the chorus is what inspires me the most:
"Said I'll never make it out, now I'm on this paper route. Money over everything, tell me what they talkin' 'bout. I just smile and wave...."

One thing that people sometimes don't realize is that there will always be people that will hate on you no matter what. It's the truth, you cannot please everybody, even if you're the nicest person on this planet. To be honest, I don't mind people that hate. As naive as it sounds, people like these actually motivate you to do better in life.

Now there are people who can't afford to have anybody hating on them because it affects their judgment. Not me though. As I stated on my previous post, I like proving people wrong. I think this is pretty self-explanatory.

I hope people don't think that I'm all about the money. What I'm all about is the SUCCESS. What do I define as success? Well, I'll elaborate on that later on.

When I took 2 years off after high school to work, a lot of people said "You're wasting time" or "You're not going to go anywhere" or "See? Money will tempt you and you're not going to want to go to college." Well these assumptions were obviously false. What sucks the most is that majority of people who said these are family and close family friends.

What these people didn't realize are the following:

1. I took that position after high school because it was a pretty decent job. I worked in the corporate world as a travel consultant. Not only did it pay me decently, it also gave me experience that I need in the future. It wasn't like I was flipping burgers and making chicken snack wraps..
2. Like most high school grads, I was undecided on what program to take in college at that time. I'm sorry but I'm not committing myself in a program just because mommy and daddy said so.
3. 2 years later, I have worked in companies that are reputable, met and made connections with managers, VPs, and CEOs, and still keeping in touch. In this world, who you know will help you significantly. Trust me on this one. Now I didn't meet Wall Street executives or anything, but you just don't know who these people you met are going to be.
   

Up to this date, there are still people who annoy me, telling me that I should have done this and that. One thing I'll say: STFU, Relax, and just watch me do my show.

To those people who support me, I'd like to call them my "investors." Pretty much self-explanatory. You invest in a start-up company, while their stock prices are low, company goes BOOM, next thing you know it's a multi-billion dollar company and your investments have paid off. A LOT. I will not boast, nor will I brag about my achievements. But one thing I'll say, I have the passion and the drive to be SUCCESSFUL, so hopefully, these investors investing in me will have an astounding return (and trust me, if you're one of my investors, you WILL have a decent return. What do I define as "decent?" Well, you'll find out.).

I'd like to thank my close friends and family, specially my sister, who's been there supporting me since I was in diapers. Despite the thousands and thousands of kilometers between us, her support makes it seem like she's just next door. I don't know what else to say, she's been there throughout the way. When I'm done school, don't worry, I GOT YOU.

Again, this post wasn't meant for bragging in any way. I just like to explain my unexplained side as to why I chose to do what I did with regards to my education.

So one day, I hope I'll be VIP poppin' errday, cars lined up like we lined up to race, said I'll never make it out, now I'm on this paper route. Money over everything, tell me what they talkin' 'bout. I JUST SMILE AND WAVE..

But then again, who cares? I have a Million Opinions, and this is just one of 'em.

Dr. Gregory House M.D.

Someone once told me that I resemble Dr. House from the show House M.D.

This idea opened up my mind to a whole different world of ideas and scenarios, in which I, in fact, resemble myself as House. These are the exact words (if I recall correctly) that were said to me:

You are just like House. You're a total asshole and a jerk, you give your opinion, which actually makes sense, but not necessarily correct 100% of the time, which makes you look like an asshole. But the fact that you don't give a shit about what people say or think is what amazes me. It could be a good or bad thing. I see the positive side of it. When other people talk shit about you, you just let it be and not care, and this is what makes you, you. You stick to your case when you know you're right.

These words reminded me once again that I am, in fact, an asshole (thank you very much). I'll admit, those are the exact words to describe who I am. When I believe in something, I stand by it. Although I'm not the best decision maker and/or planner, my opinion still stands and will not change, unless proven wrong.

If you think I'm being an asshole, then maybe you're right, that I am an asshole. But then again, there could be another side to it. What if I'm actually right, and you're just too stubborn to accept the fact? Believe me, when I'm proven wrong, I shut up.

I apologize if sometimes I come across as arrogant. This is more likely in Facebook arguments. One person actually messaged me telling me that I'm nothing but just an arrogant son of a bitch who thinks he's right all the time. Well to defend my side, read above. If I know I'm right, I WILL ARGUE, and I will not stop if you carry on, UNLESS PROVEN WRONG. The person who called me arrogant has/is probably read/reading this. Don't worry, I don't hate you or anything. This is simply a response, a type of a defense mechanism.

In my Human Relations (applied psychology) class, I did one of those surveys in order for me to determine what type of defense mechanism I use the most. The results were somewhat what I expected. I often use rationalization. This means that I rationalize in order to defend myself whenever I'm wrong. I make the wrong things seem right. In simple words, I have excuses. I admit, I do have excuses.

But what are excuses? In my opinion, they are nothing but substitutes for reasoning. I will continue to use excuses. Excuses are like ass holes, everybody's got one. It's human nature. It's as natural as breathing. You have to use excuses to defend yourself. When you burp, why do you say "Excuse me?" You want to be excused for something you cannot control and natural. But why the need to be excused for something that naturally happens? Do you see where this is going? Every single aspect of life comes down to PERCEPTION. How does one perceive things? A glass could be half empty, or half full. Yada yada....

Have I confused you a little? Maybe. I kind of confused myself as well.

In conclusion, similar to Dr. House, I am a jerk with excuses, and will continue to use them, UNTIL PROVEN WRONG. I have absolutely no problem in admitting that I am wrong, you just gotta PROVE IT.


Someone also once told me that I'll be alone and miserable in my life if I stayed the same way as I am. I say maybe, or maybe not. Maybe someone out there can cope with my personality, or maybe someone already is coping with it.

It doesn't really matter because at the end of the day, I have a Million Opinions and this is just one of 'em.

When you're on the far left lane on the freeway..

..make sure you're actually passing someone, or not blocking the traffic behind you.


It's plain and simple..
It's ultimately EASY...
It's not complicated....
It's definitely not rocket science:

If you're on the far left lane, and people are passing you on your right, you're a DOUCHEBAG. This means, move the f*ck out of the way when you see (in your rearview mirror) people are coming from behind you. How hard is it to understand that simple statement?

I absolutely hate it when idiotic drivers go 90 km/h or even 100 km/h on the far left lane (on the freeway, of course). Guess what? That lane is called the Passing Lane. And there is, of course, a reason as to why it was named so - it's for drivers going above the posted speed limit.

Now, some of you may say "Oh, we're not being douchebags. It's those speeders that are douchebags for going so fast." OMGzZzZWTFBBQ! Stfu. I am pretty confident to say that almost everyone has, goes, and will go over the speed limit no matter how much it's over. It's not a common thing that you see drivers actually following the speed limit. Get over it. It's a fact.

My point? You f*ckers are endangering lives by blocking traffic on the left lane. How so? Many, many reasons.
One of 'em: If someone is going say 115 - 120 km/h behind you and you don't move, they have no option but to merge to the right lane, where others are entering the freeway from the right, merging to the left. Can you paint the picture? It only takes ONE idiot to make a freeway disaster.

Others will argue "Hey Jeff, stfu! It's stupid to go over the speed limit. They have a limit for a reason!" Fine, congratuF*CKINGlations, you're smartass is right. But guess what? No, that was not my point. I never condoned speeding. Now I'm not going to lie, yes I go over the speed limit 95% of the time, but it's not like I weave in and out of traffic. I simply GO WITH THE FLOW. If you can't and/or not willing to, get the f*ck out of the left lane and stay on the middle-ish right (Not the far right. That's for people exiting and entering the freeway).

Seriously, is this a difficult thing to ask for? Again, I'm not condoning speeding or (especially) reckless driving. I am simply saying, if you cannot go with the flow of the traffic (whether it's 110 km/h or 140 km/h), get the f*ck out of the left lane, or speed the f*ck up!

But then again, who cares. I have a Million Opinions, and this is just one 'em.

Hello BLOGworld!

Ha, so I finally gave in to this whole blogging mania that a lot of people are on.

Now, I'm going to keep this short and simple. As some of my close friends know, I have anger issues, I'm pessimistic most of the times, and I swear a lot. I've been thinking of starting up a blog from some time now, but I couldn't justify doing so.

It's a different story now. For the last couple of years, I've been taking my anger out on people, or on the road. I realized that taking my anger out on the internet would be a good first step. And so, here I am.


Now, as my first observation, I'm confident to say that each and everyone of us may know a lot of our friends that actually blog. I'm also confident to say that some of them just need to get off their computers and stfu. Some people just do not deserve the right to "publish" sh*t online. These blogs do NOT make any sense at all, especially if it's just filled with pictures. It's called FLICKR, f*cktards.

But then again, who cares? I have a Million Opinions, and this is one of 'em.
