i guess the good evens out the bad.

the people here; some are really friendly and have manners, some just don't and aren't.
i was driving home from training or something and I saw this car stopped on this narrow road on the way home, and it belonged to an old man. I guess his car broke down or he had a flat tire. But there was this police (i don't know how he got there cause i doubt policemen would drive along somewhere quite deep inside the road.) that actually cared and stopped to help this old man. I mean, how nice is that. You could've just driven off and minded your own business and think "oh yeah sure, someone will stop and help him. It wont really matter, he'll be okay" but the policeman didn't. I just thought, we should have more of these kinda people.

BUT.
last monday, new year's eve, i had a dentist appointment for my braces at JMPC. so when I got back, there was a car that COMPLETELY blocked my car from leaving that particular parking space. all the other cars behind were too close up and there was absolutely no way to get out. So my mom started hitting on the horn, first once, then a few more times. This
kept up for another 15 minutes and we just sat there. we were actually running late for some errands but i guess those errands weren't all that important. From the building right next to us, this man just casually walked out and took his time fumbling in his pocket for his car keys. Then he walked in front of our car to get to the driver's seat GLARED at us and just got into his car and SLAMMED the door, without even apologizing for blocking our car. (we knew cause our windows were slightly open to let the hot air out) that just pissed me off. hasn't anyone taught him any basic manners? my god.

Ooh btw, have any of you watched the Concert for Diana? As in Princess Diana. Oh my god, it was really touching, really sad. so many of the performances were amazing. Rod Stewart, James Morrison, Elton John, Joss Stone, Natasha Bedingfield, Kanye West, P Diddy. they even showed videos of the wonderful things that Princess Diana had done, like visiting the blind people. that one was soooooo beautiful, that moment on the video. oh my god. it was all really sad.
