| Someone actually created an AsiaXpatSUCKS.com site! I can't believe it. Too hilarious. All among all the expatriate and expat sites, it really does suck. Too funny.

| Usually I don't care or even notice these things. Because of the unexpected occurrence and because of his most tremendous contributions to the franchise, however, this one is felt.
Let's put him up there right along Jack Kirby and Bob Kane. Here's to what will probably be the greatest character brought to life on screen, ever.

| My pin is shiny and pretty. Whenever I wear it, I feel proud. It says to me "Welcome to the old boys club." How many others have ever had the privilege? The last pin I wore before this was my Empire pin. I purchased that at Target. But my new pin has magic. My pin makes me a better person.

| Fantastic 60 Minutes video on the "new" generation of Millenials. Copied from Limbo55.
I find it funny that we've been given a new name yet again by the social taxonomists. First we were the Baby Boomer Echo Generation. Then we were Gen Y. Now we're the Millenials? Give me a break. Next year we'll be called the Mobiles, and after that the Gen.com or the iGeneration. Stupid boomers and their stupid names.
I found this video so funny that I forwarded it to most of my staff which are mostly Y'ers. Things that happened this week that this video reminded me of includes being told by my staff
"I need to be at modeling by 5pm today."
And the best
"I need to take Thursday off, it's my girlfriend's birthday."
The other thing that bothered me is that this study classed Millenials
at 1980 which would exclude me from being so enlightened. Early
classifications of Gen Y included 1978. Some started 1979. Whatever the
difference, it's clearly somewhere are there, give or take, so you
you'll have a good mix of Gen X and Gen Y if you were born in those
years.
One thing is for certain, I've never considered myself part of Gen X, although I do see it in a lot of my friends. I also realized that there might be a reason that I tend to hang with people younger than me...I identify with this culture much more than the Gen X culture. I think that I do live in a fantasy. Sometimes I say it's a nightmare, but whatever my life is, it's not normal that's all I can say. And I'm not referring to things like being entrepreneurial, etc., but more like the stupid irrational decisions that I regularly make for myself.
But hey who gives a rats ass about this generation, let's talk about the next one. I'm betting that Gen Y basically goes through life thinking it's special and life is about leisure and freedom and experience, and they end up losing all of their money as the US trade deficit with China balloons to the size of just about the entire GDP and find out that they live an adult life that is basically worse off than the life they lived as children. Their own children, the next generation, see how F'd up and lazy their parents are and then have to bear the weight of actually paying for their houses and having some goddamned responsibility in their lives. Many ultimately decide to move to China to be on the other side of the deficit and to satisfy their lust for Asian women (and men). All of the sudden, a virus kills most of the people on this Earth. A few survive.
That's my prediction, let's hear it from the rest of you.
And speaking of those 1 billion hungry Chinese, so yeah like I want to open a restaurant or invest in one there. Haven't figured it out yet, but damn it would be so fun . . . I think.

| So I've always got these profound things to say and when I actually sit my ass down to write about it I always have these revelations that it's better not to write about it.
Anyway, long story short, everyone I meet wants to be me, but I don't understand why because life sucks. Maybe they are sucking my johnny because they think that somehow I will invest millions into their business ideas if they pretend to be my friend, or maybe they're just taking pity on my misery. Or just maybe the grass is greener on the other side. "You made $250K last year in private equity and all you have to do is work 120 hours a week???"
Without question the greatest thing that has happened to me this week is that I had 5 beers just now and so I get to sleep well tonight. Merry Christmas everybody and may His noodly appendage touch you.
