American the Selfish -- Today I had to deal with a customer that made me completely sick! A man came in at the front desk and filled out a folio. On the folio he stated there were 2 adults and 2 children, there ended up being more than that (meaning he's violated our health/fire code). Then some dude comes to the front desk with a bloddy lip cuz his room mate punched him. The cops came around to their room that evening, and that morning and when he and his party left the room was completely trashed. When the manager went to check the room the man started giving her crap and downing her for being foreign and whatever so the manager said back to him "Well I guess I'm better than you American because I know how to respect other people's property!". So the guy calls up while I'm on duty and starts giving me greif over the "racial slur" and threatens to suit for discimination and proceeds to lecture me about how I should be proud to be an American and blah di blah.

To me its completely rediculous how the man is threatening suit when HE is at fault and has caused us so much trouble with his crap. Then to use his "patriotism" as an excuse to get what he wants from the manager. We've had problems from other people who try to pull the same stunt, and its all a bunch of poo gas!!

I think this whole thing is getting out of hand. After 9-11 most Americans (or at least the redneck portion) have become elitests. Its as if it doesn't matter if one is an American citizen anymore. If you're not caucasian and "christian" then you don't belong here. I have a friend who is Muslim and he has no intentions on bombing anything, or cursing America, infact he was scared to death of what would happen to him after the attack happened. In his own words he said to me "right now I'm even scared of reading the Q'uran. Like its some evil text or something and that someone will come after me if they see me reading it..."

The world over is filled with decent people, but no one seems to have tolerence for anything anymore...

Attack of the Ponies -- Another friend of mine (whom is also named Chris) from Tallahassee and I had the following in-depth conversation:

gaianblue: horses make me slightly nervous.

IamMooFoo: how so?

gaianblue: well, their very strong, fairly strong-willed, are known to bite and kick each other, and your sitting on its back kicking its ribs

gaianblue: :D

IamMooFoo: aww common! they gallop and neigh, and they're all named Black Beauty

gaianblue: lol
gaianblue: oh, undoubtedly they're magestic
gaianblue: they just make me nervous to be sitting on their back.
gaianblue: which is why they always give me the mamby-pamby horses when i ride, lol

IamMooFoo: hehe!
IamMooFoo: I prefer the pony rides

gaianblue: ahh, there ya go. thats my ball of cheese. pony rides.
gaianblue: you roll the dice you move your mice. noone gets hurt. ;)

IamMooFoo: they're chained up so they can't do anything to you

gaianblue: yes indeed!

IamMooFoo: teehee, poor opressed things

gaianblue: lol, jah.
gaianblue: throw off your bonds! lets start a pony-ruled society!

IamMooFoo: LOL!
IamMooFoo: PONY ANARCHY!

gaianblue: ALL HAIL THE GREAT MANE!

IamMooFoo: NEEEEIIIGGGHHH
IamMooFoo: *raises hoof in the air*

gaianblue: *bares teeth and clip clops happily*

IamMooFoo: Pony Power!
IamMooFoo: and then the white ponies, and black ponies, and brown poines, and speckled ponies all become secular and hate each other and then we all live in an Animal Farm

gaianblue: lol
gaianblue: soon the speckled ponies start invading the other ponies lands and imposing their own pony culture upon them.
gaianblue: yet the doorknob remains a mystery...

IamMooFoo: Of course the speckled ponies are only half-breeds so they don't count to the other ponies, therefore their demands are ignored and they are deported out of the other ponies lands

gaianblue: aaah! the great pony inquisitions where they try and torture ponies who have speckled blood in them for their own "redemption"
gaianblue: like like monty pony-thon says "noone expects the pony inquisition!"

IamMooFoo: And then they start making pony sacrifices to the great voodoo pony god
gaianblue: AAAH! the great voodoo pony god!
IamMooFoo: Then the brown ponies decide that they are no longer in love with the opposite sex so they become known as the bi-brown party

gaianblue: LOL

IamMooFoo: but the conservative white pony party hates bi-browns and considers them "immoral" so they try to wipe them out

gaianblue: ROFL
gaianblue: then for a brief period of time the children of the white ponies come together under the influence of fun plants to "ponystock" and cry out for pony-kind to love one another and give peace a chance.

IamMooFoo: But unfortuantely the Black Facist pony party hates hippie ponies so they try to wipe them out
IamMooFoo: thus begins the pony world war I

gaianblue: Ahh! Ponies stuck in trenches, gaining a mile, losing a mile, always wondering where they put their flea combs!

IamMooFoo: Suffering from malaria and scurvy these poor ponies fight for the freedom of their lands... from other ponies...

gaianblue: the war is finally won when the tan pony country joins in unwearied to reinforce the tired pony soldiers and march proudly onward

IamMooFoo: Then the humans come along and take the ponies as POWs and makes them serve as slaves in a terrible place known as the "carnival"

gaianblue: A horrendous place filled with sneering faces, firey eaters, and several diabolical monstrosities called "clowns"

IamMooFoo: and annoying brats who want to ride the ponies backs

gaianblue: and the great circle begins again! AAAH!

IamMooFoo: lol
IamMooFoo: because they didn't pay attention in pony history class

gaianblue: nooo, they had to doodle instead of listening to their teachers and become pony animators *grin*

Look at Me! I'm Mary J. Blidge! No More Drama Baby! -- Well here I am in Savannah, GA and stuck in quite a rut. For once I have decided that although I'm not going to SCAD I'm going to do my danged best to make the best of what I can while I'm here and I'm gonna like it! Even if they don't show many indie films here... or I can't find a store that sells indie cds... and all that good stuff... but I don't care! I decided to move here and I'm going stop bitching.

Since I had the day off today I've decided to please myself for once (Yeah I sound like some sort of Oprah special...aiyah). This week I ordered (and recieved) a scanner and wacom pen/wireless mouse with the leftovers of my Apple loan, made an Oreo pie for some friends who did a last minute favor that I really needed, went to the store and spent over $100 on my parent's credit card (which I will be killed for but oh well I can deal with that... hehe. And yes I did buy PRACTICAL items.), picked up Erin, Ashley, and Beth's presant which I'll give them when I go to Tallahassee, and went to Barns and Noble and bought the official Macromedia guide to Flash 5 and a Chinese Wok cook book! (Yippie! Home-made spring rolls for me!).

The rest of today I'm going to spend cleaning my apartment... I donno how or when I became such a butt about keeping a clean room... its scary. But anywho I hate clutter. Alot...

I guess it all boils down to the fact that I'm sick of breaking myself just to please other people and make everyone else happy except for myself. I either feel that I don't deserve to feel good, or I'm just too stupid for it... haha and I think normally I'd fall under the second category. So now I'm going to listen to depressing Tamahawk while I peppily clean my apartment and think of more ideas for my "future" flash movie I HOPE I will start to work on one day... hehe
