It just isn't right without wasabi...

Today's Quote:
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
-Ben Stein

I would never say that I have spent my life being nice to people... it would be a big fat lie! I'm not always a nice person, I get angry, and I say nasty things. But, I have spent the better part of the last few years trying to become a more understanding and tolerant person... But let me tell you, I hate to be taken advantage of... and now that I smile and keep the comments to myself, people think they can step all over me... don't get me wrong, I am still sarcastic, but that s just my style...
Absolutely anyone will take advantage of you if the opportunity arises, and you let them. I know that saying something like that makes me extremely pessimistic, but seriously... it's true!
So my new tactic is going to be "The Wasabi Method"... Wasabi is a condiment that comes from the root of an herb... Now if you've ever seen someone eat sushi for the first time, you know that they always try the wasabi. "It's green, how serious can it be?"... is what a friend of mine said to me when I tried to tell her to be careful with it... but did she listen to me?... NO! and she heaped it on her tuna roll, and after swallowing it, I saw a big fat tear roll down her face... just one... but still a tear! I am going to be like Wasabi! Calm and harmless on the surface, but you better believe I'm packing a punch... You don't have to let people walk all over you in order for them to think you're a nice person... And you don't have to act like a hard-ass in order to keep people from treating you poorly... Wasabi baby... wasabi!
