People are rude!

Hei! It's been a while, i'm still alive, barely. I still hate people by the way. I'm british, welsh to be precise and I believe that manners are quite important. I don't think people should be overly polite like the bloody english (/spit*) but simple manners or common courtesy are essential in modern day society, it's the little things that keep people happy and make all of our days that much nicer. Now! When I go into a shop I will choose my products which I wish to purchase, walk up to the counter and give the man/woman (this means man or woman not some horrible woman man crossbreed) a little smile and say hello I may even make small talk like "Hi, busy day?" or something like that depends on how daring i'm feeling. Apparently i'm one of few that do this, most people locally are socially retarded it would appear, we as human beings were gifted with the powers of speech, it's what makes us superior and yet we are often too lazy/stupid to use it. In my store where I work we offer trade ins on games where if you have finished a game you can trade it in for discount off a newer title so a man walks up to the counter with a bag tied up really tight (I can spot this a mile away, trained eyes see) and plonks it on the table, he has some games to trade in. The man doesn't say a word. He makes only a grunting sound, I know what he wants and I think he knows that I know but I am tempted to play with him and his precious little mind as no conversation has yet to be initiated so we are technically in "limbo."
"Oh is that for me? I feel just awful I haven't got you anything, I don't know what to say!"
"Eah?!!" he grunts in a king kong manor.
"never mind. Would you like to trade these in sir?"
And I must have had about seven customers all exactly like this one bank holiday monday I was ready to go crazy. So I beg you people, just a little hello and maybe a please and thankyou here and there, is that much to ask?........ probably.


*/spit, warcraft terminology meaning to be angry or to dislike something or someone or a situation.

A Good Friend

A good friend of mine died this week, it was sudden, it was really the last thing anyone expected and it still hasn't sunk in five days later. His name was Iestyn it's a welsh name pronounced (Yes-Tin) he was just 31 years of age. We were celebrating our birthdays together little under a month ago, it's hard to believe he's actually gone it just feels like he's moving away or something and I have to say goodbye. I haven't even started missing him yet I feel like he's just gonna walk into work any day now. I'm not angry that he's gone it's one of those things that happen, people die every day for what seems like no apparent reason thats just the way the world works but it really does put things into perspective, most of us get up, go to work or school, go home, watch tv or something and go to bed ready for another day of it, there is more to life than that it's just a shame it takes something so tragic to make you realise it. I feel for his family at this point, his fiance who is obviousley completely devestated, his father who thought the world of his only son, his sisters and everyone else who loved him dearly which is a lot of people, he was just that kinda guy. Iestyn always made everybody laugh he was one of the boys, always up for a giggle, a stubborn git at times :) very stuck in his ways it's kinda what made him so loveable. I respected him and looked up to him, I loved him like a brother, and admired him as a friend and a person and I will miss him dearly. He will be cremated on tuesday 15th may, it'll be a very sad day for me i'm just so glad I have someone very special to me there to help me through it.

My Day Off.

It's friday, it's my day off, I wake up early as per usual with what some people call a morning wood and erection to all you scientific people. So I am faced with one of lifes many big decisions, a) Do i deal with it in an adult manly manor? Or, b) Do i get a glass of water and a book or something and think about something else til it goes away? It's one of these many predicaments we face every day, it's what makes us what we are, people. For instance this morning I opened the fridge and thought to myself "Hmmm beer or tea?" things like that.
New paragraph this one will be good too. Final Fantasy 3 or FFIII to us educated types, is released today in europe, me being in the industry well not really the industry I just work in a shop but still I get discount and games early. SO! I bought FFIII yesterday afternoon to play on my day off but foolishly whilst meeting up with family for food after work yesterday evening I gave said FFIII game to my sister to put in her bag for safe keeping. Where is my game now I hear you ask? Still in my sisters bag. Where is my sister I also hear you ask? Fuck knows. I am unhappy to say the least.Ah well alls not lost my good friend Jordan will be visiting me this evening and we're gonna get leathered (this means really really drunk) even though I have work tomorrow because thats just how cool I actually am.

People are arseholes.

I fucking hate people. Whats is wrong with them? Really? They are all filthy and just totally stupid. I look at some of them and think "How? How are you alive? How do you cross roads? Why are you permitted to reproduce?"
A lady comes into my shop asks me for something that requires her to show me 2 forms of I.D so I say to the lady
"I'm gonna need two forms of I.D miss one with your printed name and address and another with your signature,"
"Will my passport do?" she replies
"For your signature yes, but I will need something with your full printed name and address."
"I can write it down for you......" she exclames idiotically.
So i pull this face -.- this is what I deal with day in day out, I'm not bitter honest.
Another good one is when they ask if a particular item is in stock and when I say "No sorry we haven't got that item"
they reply with the inevitable "Do you know if (insert rival buisness here) has them?"
For fucks sake, how am i supposed to know that? What i should say next time is "Hang on one sec Sir/madam i'll just pull said buisnesses stock file from my ass, this won't take a moment." Yes thats what I should do.

Me.

Hello. Hi. How are you? Awesome. Well I guess I should introduce myself or something. My name is Josh I am 21 years of age. No! wait 22 years of age I should probably delete all this and go back to correct myself but i've gone too far now so there's no bloody point. Anyway! Where was I? Oh yes! Me, well I work in a video game shop where we all think we are better than all you ordinary people but the harsh reality is we are all retarded just some are more retarded than others. I play the guitar and aspire to start a band at some point but due to my own laziness and lack of dedication it's still a bit of a dream. I'm a recovering wowaholic (Used to play World of Warcraft) I'll tell you about that another time though. Thats all for now.
