It's only been 5 days since the new year started and there's already been like 5 shootings in my city. Maybe this isn't a lot for other big cities, but for ours that's craptacular. Most of them were gang-related, and 3 people were killed in a restaurant (gang retaliation). And the thing is, most of the gang activity that is in our city is Asian. So fucking annoying. I'm Asian, and they're giving us a bad name (particularly our quadrant of the city, which has the most immigrants). And innocent people are getting caught in the crossfire - it would be fine if they were just picking off each other. It pisses me off because I grew up here and to see this crap happening sucks. I know it's part of the growing pains of a growing city, but you feel helpless.
I live in Canada, and our justice system is shit. You could kill like eight people and get parole in 25 years.
The law should be extra hard on gang members. I mean, I don't wanna advocate eugenics (and by that I mean I totally do) but seriously....who wants these people reproducing? Maybe stick'em on an island Battle Royale style, let them get their jollies on each other. How about slave labor? The weird thing is, I don't believe in the death penalty lol.
Mmm...it's 2 in the morning and I'm pms'ing....prolly shouldn't listen to my advice on running the country lol

Gah, I hate it! Ever since I took that finance class I've been stressing about keeping my spending down. There's this killer dress at Banana Republic I really want, but it's $185 and I'm already skirting halfway of my allowance for January. Ugh, I can't believe I bought that stupid shirt at Revolve, it's ugly as hell too! Gah! Paying off my Visa statement for December is gonna eat into my budget for January, so I'm really really REALLY hoping that dress is still there in February...unless I buy it now and carryover my debt...but is it really that nice? I buy things and then get bored with them...
Have to sell my books, scrape some money up that way. Gonna return a few books too. Sigh...

PS - I realize how lucky I am. That I get to complain about frivolous shit like this...boggles the mind. Sorry.
