First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outโ€”because I was not a socialist.

It's been my experience that the less money I had the more free I was. You can't get blood from a stone. Now I have things I have to protect and papers to file and issues to deal with just to keep what I thought was mine.

I can't wait to die.

Read some books, it gives you a reason to keep going, if for no other reason than to turn the page and see what happens next.

Mission Statement:

Yeah I started out reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac and then decided I needed to go back and read all the Beat poets books. Didn't know it was a movie, how in the world did they make a movie of that nonsense? But yeah he was all about mirrors and different realities inside of the mirror. He used to spend hours staring into them, John Lennon did the same thing.

List of "HOW DARE YOU" LIES I was once made to believe:

Kind of off topic but I voted for Santa Claus as a write in candidate for tax assessor last week. Gotta love it... maybe if he wins he'll gift my property taxes next year.

Don't read this if you can't handle edited cursing or truth (bad parents beware).

When I grew up it was normal to kick your kids out when they turned 18, or at least after school. If they couldn't get a job you told them to join the army.. It's a lot harder to support yourself these days though, two of my five kids still live at home rent free and the youngest is 28. What the hell the house has 4 bedrooms and I have to pay the bills either way. I don't have a problem with it but I really love them and hope they stick around. If they were worthless pieces of ****shit things might be different.

Have you ever cut off a family member.

My next door neighbor cut off all contacts with his elderly father. His dad was living with him and got a couple of credit cards in the son's name and maxed them out at $10,000 apiece. The next thing I knew he kicked his dad out and moved him into a hotel 100 miles away and that was the last we saw of him.... I didn't really blame the guy.

There should be a law that if you are a politician, you're just not allowed to have any investments in anything.

We just had our primary elections last week and it was really sad. A senator from Tennessee was retiring (Lamar Alexander) and his hand picked replacement also got the endorsement from the Donald. Of course he was a political hack who has never done anything but work for the Feds, his latest job was ambassador to Japan.

His opponent was a guy who is a surgeon and whose parents are both physicians that immigrated from India. He seemed like an incredibly intelligent honest hard working man from an incredible family but of course he lost because he didn't have any connections.

Politics is such an inbred society these days. We're never going to be able to move away from the good ole boy mentality, they're all in it together. It doesn't matter what they invest in, they can control the money to flow to anyone they want. If they don't have any investments they make it flow to their friends and their friends hire their wife and kids as consultants at a few million dollars a year... power corrupts.

Perhaps the most blunt and honest song ever written

That Paradise by the Dashboard Lights song was pretty blunt and honest too... at least to me when I was 16 and it came out.

I can't wait to die.

You've got to learn to enjoy small victories, grab every little moment of partial happiness and embrace it. I like the exercise comment, working up a sweat can give you a feeling of accomplishment and euphoria.

So the unemployment office sent more payments than they should which somehow created a debt to them.

Poor people can get lawyers too. Call a legal services place and tell them about your predicament, they usually have connections and can clear stuff like this up without ever going to court. I was poor for a long time I know all about it...
