Basically, my story of life
when I told some of my closest friends about what kind of experiences I've had experienced, they'd abruptly call 'em such "
crazy unbelievable experiences" , or encounters, that they wouldn't easily able to do!
but little do these people know, that my work-daily life COULD become only a 'normal-boring-routine' life, if I were to do it the standard, 'NORMAL' way as well!
fortunately,
somehow, I have always been 'famous' for going "out of the loop" (as the previous posters mentioned above), and/or "gone off to strange, weird places", and as a result, met, or make friends with eccentric/'weird' people as well!
to mention a few:
1. I've had 3 homosexual friends. my INTJ cousin never got such experiences! and guess what, I'm actually quite thankful for that, because these friends of mine usually have their unusual NEW life, that made my life much more interesting too as a result!
(then my INTJ cousin would rant of how "boring" his life had been, because he's not, and also
can't be as 'adventurous' as me
)
2. I've made friend with a person who just got out from jail, 'bout 8 years ago, when I was still studying in LA. and surprisingly, we can 'connect' really well. to this day, i'll never forget him!
3. I've made "friends" with many, many different type of people from various type of life,
from the rich, down to the gutter-poor kind of environment/background!
there was even a group of these 'poor' people, asking me in a thoughtful way
"why do you want to make friends with me?" ,..because they said, if it were "other" people, with my kind of race/ethnicity and economic/financial status, they wouldn't even talk a word with these 'poor' people! but I just simply replied to them
"because I ENJOY hanging out with you guys! and that's enough reason, isn't it? why all the race/ethnicity/economic/financial 'barriers' created??"
4. about 2 years ago, I went to Japan by myself, ALONE. and I've gone through subways, to the highest temple that people rarely ever go, and made friends with 'eccentric' people from Japanese musician-student, to a random FUN girl, to a Zen practicioner (he's an American) at the highest temple!
5. I could easily ask a 'random' stranger whom's waiting on the bus line, or sitting at the park, etc etc. basically, I actually LOVE to able to meet eccentric, unique people as well.
This is NOT without weakness though..
because admitedly,
I've noticed that I've always tried to avoid these kind/type of people:
- 'normal', ordinary people
- what i would termed as "boring" people
- the 'corporate-workalholic' type
- the kind of people who only do brags, and talks about their jobs, their businesses, then their jobs again, then businesses again, and so on. ohh, i hate this the most!
- people who only listen to "normal mainstream" stuff of music (beats me, but the kind/genre of music a person listen to usually, I'd find, very-much related with the kind of lifestyle, or what personality the person might has!
).
- and since I LOVE and passionate about music soo much, the WORST possible people that I'll try to avoid is those people who can't and don't appreciate Arts, the beauty, and depth of it. and those who only see Arts in terms of $$$$$ (ie: MONEY)! urgggh, i also hate this a lot!
and then he made a couple of unexpected appearances on my front porch before I finally yelled at him.
. I found an excuse to leave and decided that was the end of dealing with him.
. One day, driving home on the freeway, he drives past me and waves out the window. I then start to see him following me home from work now & then. I start taking alternate, long routes home, since he didn't seem to know where I lived yet and I didn't want him to find out.
