Old Spice is pretty good I'll admit, but I never was a fan of it. Axe is better in my opinion. Speaking of Axe, this past school year whenever we would change into our gym uniforms, or our school uniforms. Some guys would spray this deoderant called Tag and that smelled pretty bad. I choked on it once when someone sprayed it.
I was in a car accident this afternoon on the highway. The average driver here in China is a supernatural fucking moron who likes to hover between lanes sometimes. This guy in front of us decided to hover just as we were trying to pass, and we collided with him at about 130 km/hr (about 80mph).
But I was wearing my seatbelt, and I walked away with only minor pain and no scratches and bruises. Since I am alive and well, I am counting it as awesome success.

Learn from me kids. Use your seat belt.

I'm glad you're okay. You must be having bad luck in China or something. I think the car accident is a sign you should leave China. I'm not saying you should leave China just because of a car accident. It could have happened to anyone. I wouldn't leave China if I was in your shoes just because I got into a car accident. I hope China doesn't try to kill you in the future. Good luck.
Well, car accidents do happen everywhere (even if it's less often in some places), and he's in a good spot to be right now. He's got a pretty nice job and he's doing extremely well in it right now. Who knows where he'll be in a few years but for right now it'd be kind of silly to just up and leave if he were suddenly afraid of the country. Car accidents are scary, sure, but you shouldn't necessarily blame it on the location you got hit. An individual person was still driving the car that bumped into Ryan, and you'll find reckless people all over the globe.
You can't be scared away from everything life throws at you, but you do have to deal with it. I'm really glad Ryan's okay, hopefully it won't happen again. I need Ryan to be alive!! I can't possibly meet him in person if he's dead, and that's just not acceptable.

I said it was trying to kill me as a supplement to the story I posted in the alcohol saves lives thread. I left a crowded shopping district minutes before a bus barreled through the area and killed a few people. Then this happened.
I don't know, it's really confusing. I mean, any jackass in the US can walk up into the DMV, take a quick multiple choice test, and get their license at the low cost of $20 bucks. But here in China, everyone is required to take their class first, which is a rigorous morning class beginning at sunrise every day and lasting for a few weeks. Then the test itself takes like three days and takes place in a remote area out of town, to have plenty of room to practice. And even if you fail, you are out 1000 yuan (average monthly salary in Hangzhou is 2000 yuan).
But yet, China has way more asshat drivers. Maybe it's just statistics, China has just so many people that even with a low percentage of shitty drivers, it still means a lot will get on the road...
I took up singing again properly today, for I have an audition for sweeney todd in about three weeks.
Hey good luck with that, I just recently took my lady friend out to see Sweeny Todd done by some wee laddies and lassies! haha for their age they did pretty well, id say
My boss is encouraging us in marketing to develop a golf game, as it is quite important in the world of business.
There is a driving range less than a 10 minute walk from the office. Our department just got a membership there, and our boss left some of his golf clubs here at the office for us to use.
So now on slow afternoons, or during lunch, I am encouraged to take people from my department and teach them how to golf, since nobody here knows how. And it's all on the company's dollar, er, yuan. We have to burn through 300 buckets of golf balls within one year.
Some people are desperately trying to look for work. I'm getting paid to go work on my golf game.
Well, as long as I'm at it... Adam and Tanya, Ou Hou is in town today for a job interview. We're going to go get dinner tonight.
Edit: For everyone else, I'm meeting up with an old classmate from my days in Japan. He's an awesome guy, so awesome that it made Adam forget what gender Ou Hou was.

You may also want to investigate the possibility that your are in fact invulnerable to normal damage.

At the rate he's going? In a few years he'll roadkill... and somehow still making seven figures.
What the fuck does this even mean?
My larynx is tired but progress is being made!
