AFTER 30

YOU KNOW... THERE REALLY IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN YOUR 20S AND YOUR 30S... I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND LOOK BACK AT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. JUST THE WAY I USE TO BE COMPARED TO NOW IS SO DIFFERENT. THE WAY YOU THINK, THE WAY YOU ACT, THE WAY YOU JUST ARE. YOU KNOW YOURE GOING TO GROW UP SOONER OR LATER, BUT YOU DONT REALLY NOTICE IT, MAYBE YOU DO, BUT WHEN A SIMILAR SITUATION COMES UP FROM WHEN YOURE YOUNGER AND NOW YOU REACT DIFFERENTLY YOU REALLY NOTICE IT. YOURE MORE GROWN UP NOW, AND MORE MATURE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO REACT THE SAME WAY BUT YOU REALIZE WHY WOULD YOU. LIKE SITUATION THAT I WOULD USE TO REACT TO OR WOULD TEST MY PATIENCE, NOW I JUST DONT BOTHER ANYMORE. I TEND TO JUST LET IT GO NOW, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON SOMETHING SO STUPID. HOW ABOUT GOING OUT... I USE TO GO OUT ALL THE TIME, PARTIES WERE NOTHING. I HAVENT GONE PARTYING IN A WHILE, BUT EVEN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT SOMETIMES MAKES ME TIRED. USE TO HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY, NOW I JUST WANT TO NAP LOL. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I USE TO BE LOUD. IVE TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE, THAT BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS VOTED THE LOUDEST PERSON IN SCHOOL. THESE DAYS SURE I CAN BE LOUD IF I HAVE TO, BUT GENERALLY IM PRETTY QUIET. IT JUST TAKES TOO MUCH TO BE LOUD. BEFORE I WOULD JUST SAY WHATS ON MY MIND, NEVER CARED WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT. I STILL DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK, BUT NOW I FILTER WHAT I SAY MORE. ITS JUST TOO MUCH WORK TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION SOMETIMES AND THEN THERES JUST NOT CARING AND YOU JUST WANT THE CONVERSATION TO END. THERES JUST SO MUCH MORE BETWEEN 20S AND 30S. JUST LOOK HOW YOU USE TO DRESS AND NOW. IF I REALLY WANTED TO THIS WOULD BE A LONG LIST BUT YOU GET MY POINT. 20S YOU CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND AFTER 30 YOU JUST DONT CARE OR GIVE A F ANYMORE.

HOLY CRAP!!! THIS IS POST #400!!! THATS A POST A WEEK FOR OVER 7.5 YEARS!!! CONGRATS TO ME AND TO MANY MORE... MAYBE... LOL

THATS ROUGH

SO TOTALLY GOING TO LIVE UP TO THE NAME OF RANDOMNESS TODAY. BASICALLY MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HAVING WEEKLY FAMILY DINNERS SINCE MY NEPHEWS BEEN BORN. I GET TO SEE MY NEPHEW AND HANG OUT AND PLAY WITH HIM. PLUS GET TO HAVE DINNER WITH EVERYONE AND JUST CHILL OUT. SINCE THIS ONE RESTAURANT WAS HAVING RENOVATIONS, WE ENDED UP TRYING DIFFERENT PLACES. THIS ONE CHINESE PLACE WAS ALRIGHT AND WE WENT BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES. FIRST TIME THERE WERE 2 TABLES IN THERE. SECOND TIME THERE WAS NO ONE, AND LAST WEEK THERE WAS NO ONE EITHER. I JUST GO IN TO PICK UP TAKEOUT. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOT BEING BUSY BUT THAT MUST BE ROUGH. AN ENTIRE NIGHT WITHOUT A CUSTOMER, OR JUST ONE. YOUR OVERHEAD WOULD BE KILLING YOU. TAKE PAY AND ALL THAT OUT AND JUST SAY ITS A FAMILY BUSINESS. MY ONE TAKEOUT ISNT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LONG RUN. MY QUESTION IS HOW THE HELL DO THEY SURVIVE... THERE IS A TON OF CHINESE RESTAURANTS NEARBY AND THEY ALL SELLING THE SAME THING. HOW DO THEY SURVIVE. LETS JUST SAY THEY ARE ALL LEGAL AND UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. CHINESE RESTAURANTS ARE USUALLY QUIETER ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, DEPENDS WHERE WEDNESDAY IS A HIT OR MISS. WEEKEND AND SO ON SHOULD BE BUSY. THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS WHERE THEY ARE JUST BUSY ALL THE TIME. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS IS DO ANY OF YOU EVER FEEL SAD FOR THEM? FOR EXAMPLE YOU SEE THEM WITH NO CUSTOMERS AND ITS SUPER QUIET. IT ALMOST MAKES YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND TRY TO HELP, BUT THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE WHO GETS HELP AND SO FORTH. YA IT SUCKS THAT NOT EVERY PLACE CAN BE BUSY AND MAKING MONEY BUT THERES JUST TOO MANY OF THEM. WE DIDNT END UP GOING THAT PLACE, WE WENT TO A NEW PLACE, BUT I WONDER WHAT THAT RESTAURANT THINK... I WONDER IF THEY WERE ASKING WHERE I WAS...

THE SAME GOES TO BUSINESSES. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU SEE BUSINESSES AND YOU THINK "HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY SURVIVING" ITS THE SAME AS ABOVE. ITS HARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ITS JUST ROUGH. THEN THERES THE OTHER TYPE OF BUSINESS AND YOU JUST THINK THEY SHOULDNT BE IN BUSINESS LOL. NOT QUITE IF THIS MADE SENSE SINCE I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND IM HELLA TIRED. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HELP EVERYONE, AND ITS KINDA SUCKS BECAUSE YOU CANT HELP THEM. THEN AGAIN HOW MUCH CAN YOU REALLY HELP... AND YOURE STILL BUSY HELPING YOURSELF.
