Self-centered little brat

06.10.07

I cannot stand it when people get overly materialistic. Nobody’s perfect, that’s for sure, and everybody’s materialistic in one way or another, myself included. But when you’re materialistic at the expense of others around you, that’s just being fucking selfish.

My brother, for example, is pissing the shit out of me, by being a materialistic, selfish, and self-centered little twat. Either he’s fucking lucky, or he’s exploiting the fact that he’s damn blessed. My uncle gave him a 17″ powerbook before he entered polytechnic. Before entering poly, he claimed that RP used windows as their main O/S, so my uncle gave him a 15″ macbook pro, and I used the powerbook pro for my university work. My dad offered to get me a new laptop, but I told him to save the money for my brother in poly. At the very fucking same time, I told my dad to give me minimal pocket money, and that I’d work to pay for my own expenses, because as the older sibling, I’m far more mature and street smart than my brother is, and I know that I can juggle work and school at the same time. So my brother spoils the laptop, and sends it for repair. Twice. Money earned from a part time job didn’t go to his own sufficiency. It went to his guitars. I’m not condemning him for buying guitars - I’ve blown almost $4000 on my drums alone… but 90% of the money was my own.

What pissed me off was the fact that he got my dad to buy him a new HP tablet PC, claiming that his powerbook was spoilt, and that his school required his laptop daily, so repairing it was out of the question. I told him that I could get him a laptop from university at a lower price as compared to RP, but he said it was urgent so he insisted on getting one today. At the same time, he smsed me, asking me about the price of a certain guitar in yamaha that ran in the excess of $2000, followed by “If its $2000+ I’ll buy it soon. Reasonable price.”

WTF? So basically I work like a fucking dog with no social life to fund myself, just so that the money my dad can save on me goes to the little brat to buy his guitars and be materialistic?

This will offend some people, so if you’re super-fucking religious, don’t bother reading down, and take it as though I’ve ended my post.

My brother tithes 10% of his pocket money, along with weekly donations to church. I’m not condemning that too, but I do feel very strongly against it, especially when the pocket money he gets comes from the money saved on mine.

Some of you will say that I waste money on my cigerettes too - but hey, fuck you all. That’s the money I get from Yamaha and other ad hoc gigs or jobs, so I burn it the way I want to burn it.

Cheebye fucking annoying. Seriously.
