The "B" Word

I have an awesome friend out here, who got me and some friends tickets to the Pussycat Dolls live here in Seoul Korea. It was very interesting going to a concert in Asia. Because they are quieter, more reserved and it was kind of funny watching people not really know what to do or how to act. It was fun though!







I ran a contest for the week and a half before the concert. I was giving away free pairs of Pussycat Doll tickets, and when prompted to call they had to sing either the chorus of the hit songs Don't Cha...



Or When I Grow Up...



However, the fun part came after the concert. As a military member overseas, one of the things we are taught is to always have a plan. Our number one concern is safety. Well a couple of my friends found a dumb, young, new to Korea girl. She is not in the military and she was drunk and seperated from her friends. No phone, no phone numbers, didn't even know all the people she was with. So we let her come along with us. In the cab there was a conversation... Here is how it went...

Me: Did you and your friends have any sort of plan in case you did get seperated?
Her: No, that would have been smart though
Me: Yes, next time its a good idea, because this could have been a potetially dangerous situation.... (cut off)
Her: Well if you're saying I'm in danger...
Me: No, I'm saying I'm glad you ended up with us and not with some weirdo... (cut off again)
Her: Well if you don't want me here you can just get out of the car.
Me: What? you are with us... I'm simply concerned for your safety, again, I'm glad you ended up here and not with a psycho.
(I stopped, being sober, there is no reasoning with a drunk girl)
Her: You're a bitch
Me: Excuse me? I'm a bitch? A bitch that would rather see you get home than dragged into an alley and sold into sex slavery? Yeah, I'm a real bitch here"

That is generally what was said, she also called me a ringleader at one point. She went home and told my friend that Me and my friend Catherine scared her... good...
I have no tolerance for stupid people.

But I wasn't going to let that ruin my night! We went out and chilled and had some fun. I hope people overseas, especially young ones will be safe, and think! Us your brains! They are there for a reason!

To everyone who cares about their safety and the safety of others continue to be an example. Make smart choices, and lead others to do the same.
