Desperate Housewives are sooo rude!!
So like i usually dont go grocery shopping. I usually do when i need to get somethign to eat since there isnt nothing at home and i dont feel like going out everytime. Plus i love the chicken dinner meal at the Deli thingy at Albertsons. Anywho, all i have to rant about is that the MILFs of Rancho Cucamonga are really rude. No excuse me, no pardon me. They will just ram you... with their shopping carts that is. Get the head out of the gutter. I mean cmon, their are other people around you who is trying to shop also. At least acknowlegde them instead of just going along with your diapers and milk formula. Thats all i gotta say..

It never changes....
So i have been part of the working force since i was about 15 and a half. I have worked at Bugle Boy, Sirens, Express & Structure (before it turned into Express for Men), Pizza Hut, Circuit City, Hawaiian BBQ, Amerihost Inn & Suites, and a bunch of other odd jobs such as LA Times Door to Door Salesperson and an Independent Contractor for Educational Books out on the East Coast.
What i found that each job had incommon no matter how different they are from one another, is drama and the damn gossip. I mean, granted when i had my jobs in the mall back in high school, most of the drama carried over from high school itself and then the stuff i did at work. But i would of have thought if I enter a different field, what some would say a more professional field.
Well once field i dont expect much, and thats the work of Hollywood. I hear gossip even when im working on the red carpet or backstage at a concert. However, the other field that i am not moon lighting as is a Purchase Agent for a Paper Packing Company..
Im not going to say much, but i thought working with other mature adults. I mean mature, the averages of my co workers ages is about over double my own. However, the maturity level of the people is anything but, the gossip that goes on trumps US Weekly, and the drama... well Day Time Soaps has nothing on it. I guess i cant complain since im a fan of it, i mean cmon i do watch The WB a lot. But i guess my only grip is that i cannot control here in this environment since no one is really in my age group. Oh well.. I should get a weekend job somewhere at the Victoria Gardens.. or maybe even Disneyland?? Oh i know theres drama there.. Mickey Mouse is sleeping with Daisy Duck.. Stayed tuned... :P
As my world turns....

Liberal Hollywood strikes again.. and i love it!!
Prankster, Romancer, Restaurant owner, whatever you want to call him. Ashton Kucher has done a lot. He has a new movie coming out staring Bernie Mac entitled Guess Who and even hosting Saturday Night Live with Gwen Steffani performing. I've hit up The Dolce Group restaurants and love them, however his Japanese fused Geisha House, which Ashton heads up, has left me rather disappointed. More to come..
Anyways, i am reading the April Interview and Ashton is on the cover and is being interview by Brad Pitt. The whole theme to this magazine is that celebrities interview each other and its a great concept. This is Ashton second interview in this magazine, his first was back in 2002 by David Spade. The interview over things as the usual small chat, whats going on, current projects, who to Punk'd and then it started going back to origins and Ashton hometown. That is went it got interesting.
Ashton was born and raise in a small town in Iowa. You know small towns in the mid west and subjects like religion and what not. After Brad asks Ashton about if his family was religious, they go into a conversation that i can relate to and express my views so much on the topic...
Brad: I think its amazing to be aware of that at that age [13]. My frustration with religion came from what i call the "safety mechanism" that asked you or told you that you needed to get God's word out.Ashton: In order to go to heaven. Yet there are all these kinds of safety caveats, like, you can do whatever you want, so long as you believe in this, I'm not a firm believer in that.
BP: Meaning its all forgiven in the end if you ask in His name.
AK: Ill be blunt about it. Where i grew up, so long as you believed in Jesus Christ and you asked for forgiveness, you could do whatever you wanted. That was pretty much the rule of thumb.
BP: Which amazed me that no one said, "Wait a second. I would never hang out with some guy who said, 'You've got to say I'm the coolest or you get nothing from.' Why would I want that from my God?"
AL: Or they never asked, "So, you're telling me that there's a tribe that lives in Australia that's never heard of this guy God, but all of the people in it are going to hell no matter what?"
BP: These were my same questions at the age of 6 or 7.
AK: And nobody could answer. Eventually I got an answer.
BP: Which was?
AK: Especially when the golden rule is supposed to be "Love thy neighbor."
BP: It sounds like you got out.
AK: I got out of religiosity and maintained spirituality.
I totally believe in what Ashton and Brad are saying. I find it so hypocritical that people lie, cheat, steal, use drugs, have sex knowing it is against their religion but just thinking going to church on Sundays and asking for forgiveness will allow all what you do wrong will be erased.
Hey, im not going to lie, im not perfect. I try not to lie, i know for sure i dont cheat. I havent cheated in high school as often as i think i would and other. Ive never had a concrete relationship to cheat. Stealing, i really really try not to do that. Drugs, well im young but we all know i dont do that. Sex... ok thats a no comment... Most of you already know my reputation on that level. Thats the very reason why i dont step inside a church or read the Bible. As for Church, im not going to go back until i can fully absorb everything that is being said. Reading the Bible, i had a recent brush in reading it. Why? I was observing myself and didnt like how i was treating this girl. Yes yes, its always about a girl, however i really wanted to gain some perspectives and i want to change for her. But i quickly learned that you cannot change someone without them wanting to. I needed to change for myself. So reading the Bible was a bust.. for now.. I dont want to get all religion up until i can into it and commitment to it and not do it half-ass. I was getting help with it, but thats over now... but i do thank her for helping me understand what i read when i was reading it. But what was wrong about that, was that i felt that i was just trying to keep some sort of line of communication with her and yeah..... more to come..
Final thought, religion has been the basic of genocide and murders and wars for way too long. Also i had someone who could have helped me get into that part that was missing in my life, someone who i would be willing to learn from. I had it, but i've lost it. Story of my life.. However, i am confident at the moment that i have only lost it...... for now....
Sundays?? Ill be at home playing Suzi homemaker or shopping...

PF Changs Rancho Cucamonga Victoria Gardens.
Finally. Our little downtown we call Victoria Gardens has open its PF Changs. Hurray. No more driving out to Pasadena or Irvine to enjoy some pretty damn good chineseish bistro food.
I had lunch over there today with a friend because i been meaning to hit this place up all week, however lack of transportation made that kinda hard.
First thing i noticed, it was hella hella smaller than the other ones. Ok i lied, the first thing i noticed was the hostess. She was fione! Very nice hair and i have to admit but ever since someone brought earrings to my attention, ive been noticing them more often on chicks and such and she had some nice earrings. But she was hella cute. Anyways, when we got seated, i noticed all the damn tables pretty close to each other and man does that really kill the mood you usually get from other PF Changs. Granted Pasadena and Irvine had tables fairly adjacent to other however there were pillars and such in the way to limit the line of sight. Anyhow that didnt matter much when the hostess came in the dining room, it was very nice thing, everytime she came to sit other guest down.
Of course, EVERYWHERE i go, i see the homies. Caught a few people i know working there. It was hella cool and such to see them like always, but the typical small talk commenced.
Got the usually appetizers, lettuce wraps and crab wontons. Decided to try something else for the main dish and got orange peel beef with brown rice. Thats my new thing!! Brown rice. You heard it here first. I been eating brown rice for about 2 months because white rice isnt as nutritious as the brown and brown has a crunch and texture that isnt the norm for me, since i been growing up with the white rice for 20ish years. We got hooked up with Orange Peel Shrimp. So nice. Everytime i got to this restaurant i get something free and shit. Its wonderful.
Lunch was really nice. Service was really good. Most def i am coming back. its inexpensive. 35 bucks and it was split which was even better. The person i ate with fucked up my fortune cookie. She handed me one which you dont do. I went for the other one and she touched my fortune so i couldnt even eat it. The waiter was watching us and he even knew whats up. Saying she had no fortune cookie etiquette. Yes there is etiquette when you open a fortune cookie. So she got a good fortune but she decided to open mine which pretty much negates her. The one she fucked up was the total opposite from the good one. It was funny, i dont know what it said because i didnt want to hear it but yeah.
Split bill came to like 17 bucks and her CHEAP ass didnt want to tip so i tipped an even 13 bucks. which was 75 percent of my 17 and 37 percent of the 35. I ALWAYS try to tip 20 percent at these kinds of places because i enjoy the food and want good service next time. Plus i tipped horrible once when i had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. it was like 1 percent, maybe that even that. I felt so bad, if i knew i wasnt going to watch a movie after then i would have tipped more but yeah.
PF Changs, great food, great service, great looking hostess however layout kinda sucks.
Trendy Chinese food ROCKS!
