Consider this my blog to vent.

This time last year, I was initiated into my fraternity. I was really looking forward to being part of the fraternity seeing that I saw a lot of opportunity that could come out of the experience. I saw an opportunity for me to build up my network and leadership experience. It started pretty well, and I met a lot of people that shared similar goals and ideals as myself. Eventually, as with most ‘groups’, there were problems with conflicting personalities and opinions. I was very disappointed in how things turned out.

I am a very open-minded and understanding person, but I just can’t stand when people are so lazy that they will turn away from any idea that involves work and will demand instead that there be a shortcut alternative given. When you cut corners, you lose value in the experience.

I wanted to take on a position to help improve things, but as I was not chosen for positions, I guess people did not like that I wanted to change things. My “plans” involved work and work is bad. Silly me. I thought this was about work experience and bettering ourselves rather than just hanging out and having fun. Silly, silly me.

Professional fraternity? Not in our chapter. Silly, silly me. So many unprofessional people in this chapter, I won’t name any names who completely lost the reality of what “professional” means.

They think ‘brotherhood’ is partying and getting drunk or something like that. Seriously? If I wanted to be part of a social organization, I would have joined a social sorority. I’m getting a little too old to be around people like this. I used to be proud of being part of this fraternity, now they want to remove a friend of mine whom was the whole reason I joined this fraternity and put work into making the chapter better. If they remove her, might as well remove me too. I don’t have any reason to be part of an organization like this.

It’s a depressing time.

The Golden State Warriors are a good team, but they’re a mess. They lose to ‘bad’ teams and actually have a fight chance against the ‘better’ teams like the Celtics. What should be “easy wins” end up being loses. Horrible!

The Oakland A’s… it’s just not their time. I’m not too into baseball, but I know the team is still in a reconstruction phase. The SF Giants are a wreck. Baseball in the Bay Area doesn’t look so great.

The Oakland Raiders are well… the Raiders. They looked great against Denver, but then they completely fell apart against the Chiefs? I don’t know about them sometimes. Great players, but the coaching staff… I don’t know. Can we draft a new coach? haha Can we trade owners? If only it were possible.
The SF Niners have made positive improvements. They still have a ways to go, but they’re going in the right direction. Not in playoff contention, maybe next year?

The Sharks are all we have. I’m not into hockey. I don’t know anything about hockey or soccer so I have no clue how good of a team they are or are not, but all I hear is that they’re strong and winning. Good for them.
