How are you?

I say, 'I am fine, how are you?'. What I mean is, 'I'm not fine at all, I'm actually quite cranky and annoyed. You see I just had my first day at work so I'm exhausted from walking around for the last 5 hours. There were also a lot of very unsatisfied customers who made there opinions very, very well know. Then when I finally got off I walked on over to the train station where I learned it would be delayed for the next hour. So I waited, for an entire bloody hour, in the wind, by myself, with no iPod (it was recently annihilated, but that's another story). Then, I walked the half mile home in the dark, by myself, in the wind (which blew my hat off three times so I had to go back and get it). When I finally got home the door was locked which just added a bit more to my frustration because I forgot my key. All in all I'd say I'm very not fine, I'm tired, I'm frustrated, and a tad bit cranky because of it all.

And yet I won't say a word of this to anybody because, to be quite frank, nobody gives a fuck.

Why do we bother with such banal and trite social exchanges that get the same responses every time, which we forget as soon as we're told? And when those occasional few people actually tell you how they are, you get annoyed. Because you really just don't care and what to get on with you're own life.

We do it because it's 'polite' or 'politically correct'. Is it really though? Maybe we should just acknowledge we are a selfish, self-centered race and socially evolve to adapt to our new ways.

Me

I sort feel as if I need a bit of intro before I can just get up and go at it. Like, I dunno, how do you trust an opinion of somebody you don't have a clue about? Well, I'm wasfrogger, I'm a certain year of age and live somewhere. Haha I went to like, say something but that kind of blows the whole anonymity of it all. I guess I'll introduce myself in a slightly different way. Let my experiences and interests talk for me instead of the meaningless details we normally use.

1. I met the Spice Girls in person, when they were still famous.

2. I'm a member of the mile high club.

3. I know the words to every single *NSYNC song from the album No Strings Attached, still.

4. I love photography. The ability to capture a moment in time that can bring such a raw emotion out of a person is just, magic.

5. Never will I ever be able to whistle.

6. I can open doors, pick up books, and throw things with my feet.

7. I've bunjee jumped of the highest bridge in the Southern Hemisphere, no problem. However I'm deathly afraid of even the smallest of ferris wheels.

8. I got my nipple pierced in my bedroom, with my mom in the living room, just 20 ft. away

9. I am currently an exchange student from America living in New Zealand.

10. I've never had a cavity. Not that I'm some brushing fanatic or stay away from that tempting bar of chocolate, I just haven't.

So, maybe that gives you a bit more of a sense who I am. Guess I can stop stalling and actually come up with a decent post now..

Why the hell I'm doing a blog.

So, I'm not really that much of a 'blogging' person. I don't really share my thoughts that openly in general. So why am I doing this? Maybe my mind has just ended up a bit to cluttered over the years. In turn I've decided to find a new outlet, a way to express myself anonymously to the world. Maybe I'll go somewhere with this, maybe I won't. Only time will tell.
