Cheap People

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I now some people are frugal, but today I saw something that just makes me go “wow.”

I went to the NYC Japan day fair and then walked around the “regular” street fairs. One of the booths was for kettle corn, and they were giving out free samples for all of their varieties of kettle corn. Most New Yorkers take a handful to taste, and most don’t buy. It’s free so why not try some right? Nothing wrong with that.

Well this one old lady comes there with a shopping bag, takes a sample container and starts pouring as much as she can into her shopping bag. Seriously, how cheep do are you to do that? If you like it, buy it. I could not believe that this old lady was that cheap. Of couse the vendor saw her do this and stopped her, but not before she got a decent amount of kettle corn in her bag.

I would just be plain embarrassed if I was caught doing that but I guess some pople have no shame.

Bowling

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I played bowling today with some friends and I rediscovered something that I knew for a while. I really suck at it. I really have to shape up. There are too many things that I suck at. I think I’ll try playing a bit more for practice so my score doesn’t always come in last place.

This has been some of my random ramblings.

Bar Car

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I am lying down in an almost empty bar car on the Metro North. After a long day at work, I met up with my friend for a few drinks. Now I’m on my way back to the city, over an hour on the train. Its the first time the train is so empty, and I can afford to lay down and rest.

As I look up at the ceiling, I wonder if there is more to life. I feel like it’s the same routine every day. Going to work day in and day out. Sure we meet up with friends once in a while, but essentially, work dominates our lives. How do you break out of that cycle without breaking out of society?

Mobile Update

Monday, August 17th, 2009

So I know I’m bad with updates. I’d like to think its because I’m too busy and don’t have time to sit down at my computer to blog instead of being a lazy bum, but I think its a little of both. But that MIGHT change soon.

I had a G1 for a while and I’ve come to depends on the internet connection it has. I didn’t realize how useful it was until I started using it to update everything. For example, my facebook account was hardly used but since I can quickly, and that’s the magic word, access it from anywhere, I actually started using it more.

I recently found out about an app for my android phone to update my blog called wp2go. Hopefully this will give me the motivation to update more. Now I just have to find a way to have this feed into my facebook account.

Enjoy.
