overexposed -- commercialized

so.

i never know how to handle "people" - i mean i know how to handle "money" - but never people.

money is a funny subject this morning - i have this new bank account at wachovia.

way-to-save (insert me doing a thumbs up) - but not only do you get 5% on your money that's in there (and the only way to do that 100/month and a dollar every mac/billpayer transaction) - but at the end of the year you can earn a whole 5% more (max $300).

i did the math - that means you need $6,000 in there to get that bonus. which means they only allow a max of $1200.00 lumped in there - which leaves $4800.00 that you would need to transfer in one dollar at a time - (leave me alone) - and there's basically 20 business days per month - which means to get this generous but fucking insane offer you need to use your mac card twenty times every day.

what a joke.

but it's also a sick joke on me because i get awesome rewards from old navy - and i still like some old navy stuff - so what to do.

WHAT TO DO.

oh yeah - what to do about the people thing.

i try to be friends with people i really do - i am a good friend when i'm allowed and i'm a better friend when encouraged. i mean i'm not fucking perfect and wanna do the right thing every single time i'm provoked but fuck - i am on a journey - a slow ride (insert: foghat).

but it doesn't take this old dog to understand that everybody isn't going to be on my journey and people will get on ... and get off ... along the way.

that's life.

i'm going to watch shutter island today.
