get a grip

Ok america you are really starting to piss me off. The FDA is currently tooling into the caffeinated alcohol drinks to see if they are safe. Really that is what the FDA worries about. Fuck no they arent safe, but neither is a bottle of Jim Beam or any alcohol. If they say that selling caffeinated alcohol is unsafe and prohibited or that it must come with a warning label then does my rum and coke at the bar get the same treatment, or my irish coffee? or kalua for that matter. Its alcohol it is not good for you. People dont drink to get healthy they drink to forget or celebrate or because they are addicted or for many other reasons but it makes me angry that the powers that be want to ban these drinks. So what some retard drank a few cans of this crap and shot himself and another popped a bunch of pills and died how many people everyday get behind the wheel after a few glasses of wine and slaughter others on the roads. How many people get filled with the liquid courage before taking the nestea plunge from the top of a building? Just tell me what the alcohol percent is and what the ingredients are and leave it at that. That's why I pay taxes so I can know what I am ingesting not to be told what I can or cannot ingest. Makes me crazy. I need a drink, make it a double. and a espresso on the side.

clearly a failure

So the little experiment didnt work. I cannot get my videos up to this blog. I think that I am just not cut out for this sort of technological stuff. As a side note I am again in china and the great firewall is blocking my site from me posting so again it is a hassle for me to circumvent. China is much the same as when I left there are really nice people that I deal with and then there are some rules and shit that I must follow even though I cannot understand why. Let me give you an example to illustrate my point. I have a bike. It has been sitting for the last month. It needed air in the tires so I took it to a bike shop around the corner, the same shop I go to get tune-ups. The worker filled the tires and then when I asked how much he said no money was needed. Very nice as he could have charged me a few RMB and bought lunch for himself. Then I rode my bike to the bank to change money, as I pulled up to the bank the security guard told me that I have to park my bike on the street in the median. I asked why and he of course couldnt tell me just the rules. I didnt have the bike against the bank just next to the last car parked in front of the the bank. Such a strange country. Rules must be followed. Except of course there was a bike already there. And I was only parking next to it. I asked why did that bike get to park there and the guard picked it up and moved it to the median. So I of course complied and did the same with mine. I am happy again for the self reliance and lack of responsibility that being home brings. I can go on my own schedule and I neednt worry about how to get from A to B. It is nice to be back on a bike back on my own time and back on vacation. As much as I enjoyed seeing my family it is nice to be home.
