I'm at war with a guy from Greenwood. He sold me 6 ipods for my ebay store, and then I figured out that they were Chinese imitations and don't work with Itunes. This is why everyone using ebay should use paypal. So I filed a dispute. Hopefully I get my cash back, otherwise I just lost a whole week's wages. China is weird. There are no copyright regulations there. How can a country that is communist get away with copyright infringement and fraud, and people in the United States get busted? Communism has its ups I guess.
Some interesting stuff... At school they talked about the 8 major life crises that people face. In the teenage years, people experience Identity vs. Role Confusion, followed by Intimacy vs. Isolation. How convenient that those particular go in sequence... You can't be successful and reach Intimacy without solving the Identity vs. Role Confusion crisis, which means you land in Isolation and can't commit to a relationship. So this must be why most high school relationships fail. It would make sense... Nobody knows who they are in high school, and usually not until they have been in college for at least 6 months or so. You can't perform well in a relationship if you don't have all your ducks in a row, and know yourself, therefore Identity vs. Role Confusion isn't solved til around the age of 19-20 (ballpark) and you remain in Isolation until you successfully identify yourself. Hmm... life would have been easier if someone would've told me that in high school, although I probably wouldn't have understood it the same way... It sucks how you have to learn from experience, and how your brain doesn't finish developing until adulthood, so you can't think 100% logically... but then, that should excuse a lot of people's behavior.
