I went to China for fifty days.

I felt like I've learned more about life in those fifty days than the rest of my fifteen years added together.

I've learned that there were plenty of people in the world who were satisfied with a house, a car, and sleep. Meaning their daily routine was getting up, eating, napping, getting up, eating, napping some more, getting up again, eating again, and then going to bed. These were people who had no incentive to move foward in life, stuck in the cycle of NOTHING. I heard it was in the human nature to keep improving. So...what have these people become?

I've got a bunch of cousins who were married. Unemployed, and affiliating themselves with habits such as chain-smoking and heavy drinking. I'm talking about downing several six packs of beer at a time...and then competing in drinking competitions. As if that's anything to be proud of.

Those who were not married, only want to get married.

Such disappointment lingers in my memories of this trip to China...along with a big helping of pity. While I was narrating my adventures to a friend of mine, I shed some tears for these people. Because they have successfully denied themselves as a part of the human race.

There are lots of stories I can tell you, but for now let's all take a moment and fuck life for making stupid people have sex, procreating and making even more COMPLETELY RETARDED ASSFUCKS.
