Well thanks to Amurh'cuh's crap economy, all of us young folk are poor. Of course it doesn't help that we're young folk and are learning (by making mistakes) to budget properly, or invest wisely. It's a trial and error. And although we get smarter each time we error, that error is equal to like..3 other errors. You take one step forward and 3 steps back. Yup. Go Free World!
It seems although I'm getting better and smarter about where my money goes, thanks to the necessity of taking care of children puts on you as well as feed back from close family who know me best, the simple cost of living is just too outrageous to well... live. And by dingy, it's plum hurting my feelings to make some money and have to shuck ALL of it back into shit that doesn't help me in the long run. (Hiccup-my savings are bone dry)
It's all part of the scheme. You won't make money unless you go to college. You can't go to college because it costs too much money that you're not making. You COULD go to college and use that degree to not live better after college, but to pay off your college loan. You COULD buy a home if the debt of the loan you have acquired isn't hurting your already young credit.
So... if it's all tangled up into one big mess... what's the out?
Military, of course! Go Army! Go Navy! Go Marines! Go Seals! Go Air force! Go National Guard! (but only if you want to get beat up by the army, navy, marines, seals and air force) Yeah, that's right. Even the air force can punk you guys.
See, the grand scheme here is... we got ourselves into a war that caused us to plummet into debt. It broke our already fragile economy. We can't fix our economy, because our government sucks at budgeting so it seems, and they can't just decide to not have a war.
Amurh'cuh: "Oopz. Mi bad u gaiz. J/k." Shut the hell up, America.
So, they'll pay for your college so you can go and fight a war that doesn't even have to do with what the war was started about, but they can't pay anything for getting jobs back in America. They want me to join a military force and put *my* life on the line and protect already way to rich people who are trying to say that I'm important enough to die for them, but not important enough for them to pay more taxes so my children can keep their medicaid health care.
Ideal. This is Why Canada Rocks.
Go Canada! Home of nice people, Moose, and maple syrup!........Which I'm not a huge fan of, btw. But thanks for trying, C.
Do I sound like a crazy liberal hippy? You bet. But I'm okay with that. You should be too. Because, it's true. Our government isn't really nice to us a lot of times. That's why they're pushing those college info commercials on TV and Join the Military ads.
Now, don't get me wrong. My Dad's side of the family is military. And my Mom's brother is in the Army, and has been touch and go fighting for the past couple years. I'm all for our boys over seas, or on the seas, or in the air.. and yes. Those that are just coasting around our boarders ;3 But again.. how come they can pay for my college, but not afford to give me an extra 25 cents an hour? Hm.
Okay, enough of my sloppy minded hippy jabber. The ultimate point here is people. I'm shit broke. Broke as a joke, artichoke.
As such, as anyone who has hit the poverty level would do, I have been thinking of ways to raise extra money to pay for bills, food, ect.
Here are some of the ideas I've had, just today.
1 - Become a pirate and loot some booty. (ha)
2 - Become a interwebs foot fetish star, since my feet are quite beautiful.
3 - Sell over the counter Aleve Pain Reducer pills by telling people they are "Viagra".
4 - Dress as a traveling gypsy and disguise my 1 1/2 year old as a trained monkey.
5 - Send my boyfriend out to stand on the street corner.
6 - Become an underground cage wrestler.
7 - Design clothes by drawing them with a jumbo crayon and closing my eyes and sending them as hopeful ideas to Lady GaGa.
Seriously? I love her music and I really liked her before all this media whore crap she's been doing. JUST ADMIT YOU IDOLIZE MADONNA AND GET ON WITH THE MUSIC. Btw, is it just me or are one of her eyes kind of.... zoning off to the side a little? <__> Ha.
So far I've devised an ingenious plan. I have been happily taking things off the hands of people from FreeCycle, or even dumpster diving and selling them on Craigslist. Sort of like an on going pawn shop. I managed to make 70$ bucks last week.. although honestly that was from selling my furniture.
But I am planning on this working, since it's kind of like one big garage sale.

But now onto other topics that don't involve my hate of Amurh'cuh, its government or my lack of fuuunnndddds.
I am trying to think of something new to do with my hair. I sort of have a bob right now... only it's long and nasty. It's deep red, but the ends have faded into straw looking reddish brown, and my two little streaks of blonde have been stained rust coloured from the access red dye washing out of my hair. I only dyed it a month ago and already have about half an inch of growth. Eeeeek
Something has got to change. Colour wise, I think I can keep this a little longer. Considering after I had my second kid 2 months ago I dyed my hair like 7 times in that month, 5 times in one week. Although I really would love to bleach it out and dye it light lavender, I think it'd be lovely.
But what sort of cut should it be? I was thinking to shave it on the sides, but it's not quite long enough to do that just yet I don't think. Hurump.
But then again, since when has the fact that it wouldn't look good ever stopped me before!? Maybe I'll just shave onside, and get a decal of a dinosaur shaped into it. O_O AIOHsdfhggIWK. A brilliant idea! But that also means that I will have to go to a salon and get it done. .and I'm generally against paying anyone to do something to my hair.
Oh the possibilities are ENDLESS.
And on my closing note for tonight's entry.. I would just like to point out that spell check does not consider "hippy" do be a real word. It keeps trying to change it to hipper.


Are you going to watch the president's speech tonight about job creation? I'm told I should watch it even though I don't know squat about politics. I just know there should be more jobs.
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I didn't get to catch it but I will probably watch it on youtube later. I like P. Obama, simply because even if he hasn't "fixed" any of our issues, he's definitely not making things "worse". He's kind of neutral. And there should be more jobs for people like muah. But the problem is, that there ARE jobs, but only if you have a college degree will you get hired for anything. And..if you can't go to college with out money from..uh..working a job.. well.. then.. there's military! I think the "no jobs" crap is also part of the scheme to get us to fight and supply them with soldiers with out them having to freak everyone out by applying the draft law. ***paranoid***
