No where else to let off the steam... so don't read if you don't want to hear #%&^$^&.
I am a good guy, I try to take care of my business. I even try to help out others when possible. I'm @#%^ sick of money issues and people "axin' gangsta".
Let's start with the white boy trying to be culturally kewl stuff... pants hanging below your butt? I will buy you a belt if you need one. You ahve a limp? Might want to see a doctor about that. The hat was invented to keep the sun out of your eyes, not off your right ear. Corn rows go in a field, not in your blonde hair. Are you a shoplifter? Cause your shirt is more than 4 sizes too big. The English language affirmative is "yes" not "yeah" or "uh-huh". When you're trying to get my attention or my friends and don't know mine or their name say "Excuse me, Sir" instead of "Yo, dude" or "Hey bra Ni##as". They are "Blacks" not Ni##ers and they happen to be great friends of mine who have no problem kicking your sorry @$$ if you make that mistake again. They are not African American either, they were not born there, they did not immigrate from there, they have no plans to go there. I am white, not "Caucasian" look up the etnotonmy of the word and you'll understand. On teh same note, I am not an "European American".
If the music is so loud that you have to yell to talk, turn it down. If you pull up to a redlight and everyone rolls up their window, turn it down. You want my respect, show me you deserve it. I am a musician, I love music, just not at 1K decibels next door when teh baby is trying to sleep and plaster is falling from the ceiling due to vibrations! If you're wearing more gold than Ft. Knox has in it's armory and you can't afford bread and are begging money for beer and cigs... you might want to adjust your priorities. Yes, your kids (how the F do you get kids and my wife and I who've been trying to a year can't?!) are watching how you "axe". You are their role model. Just remember, it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and only 3 to execute proper trigger squeeze. "Smile and wait for the flash."
On to the money. It's not secret that I've been struggling. I've never been too smart on handling finances, luckily my wife is. We are slowly crawling out of debt. It's a crawl, but it's forward progress. We make enough to make ends meet and I'm sure it'll get better once I find a job in my field. Please Lord let me find a job in my field cause my job right now SUCKS!! Ha. The other day with the ice storm, I warm up my car (which has no radio, no suspension, electronics are faulty, etc) and when I pull out of my parking space I hear a crack... my front bumper was frozen to ice and it was pulled right off my car... I just laughed. Then on the way to work, I hit a pothole and now I have a flat tire to go with it. Luckily the car is paid off. It's just that things never seem to work out. I had three grand saved over a few years ago that I was going to spend on an EBR (Noveske 12 inch SST...oh yeah!!) but it had to be redirected to cover some expenses for the wife. Saved up another 4 grand but it had to be directed towards the wedding. Now I have saved up a few hundred for a christmas gift for her and it'll now have to go to repairs. I also had some money put away to get some work done to some firearms, but that "may" have to diverted to another cause as well. Were still working on that. Plus, mother in law lost her job so now she is living with us.... Me, wife, dog, Mom in law in a tiny two bedroom apt (that's costs $900!!! for a 2 bed room?!?!?! but we are locked in the lease until March) is not good. Student loans coming due in January and I'm just getting "flustermagated". We've cut cable, eating PBJ, try to drive one car (which is hard when we both work).... grrr..
Ok, that felt good. I'm better. CHRIST is the reason for the season, not presents... it'll all be ok.
BigBear out.
