So here I am, blowing off work again. What the hell does it matter? I make less than half the amount my government calls the "poverty line". By no means, though, do I consider myself impoverished. Fucked hard without butter by a system that hates us, but not impoverished.
Lets crunch some numbers that I am willing to bet are not all that different from your own (excluding RawB). I make $8 an hour working retail. I bust my ass full time to make ends meet. My average paycheck (bi-weekly) is around $500. Maybe a little more, but usually a little less. Now for someone in my position, this is not bad money, comparatively speaking. But now lets factor in rent: $360 a month, electricity: $60 a month, phone bill: $55 a month, car insurance: $110 a month and car payment: $240 a month. Now assuming I make an average of $1000 a month, these very basic bills leave me with an average of $175 a month to spend on food (I eat lots of ramen), gas (at $2.05 a gallon we're still getting fucked harder than any idiot consumer group in history), and any type of "enjoyment" I can squeeze out. Said enjoyment usually involves alcohol these days, because hey, fuck it, why shouldn't I drink? It's certainly more productive than whining about getting "shafted" by "the man" in some stupid blog. I mean, who would do that, right?
I hate myself. Maybe I should go join myspace again...........

No good will come from My Space. I really like your blog, but I am too pathetic to leave my name...sad
Hey now, if you're bright enough to like my blog (as all intelligent people on this planet surely do) then you can't be that pathetic. And besides, what better way to break the vicious cycle ineptitude than by being brave and admitting who you are on some fat fucker's worthless page of rhetoric?
active violent evil sprays from MySpace in lethal doses.
stop complaining, at least your meals and alcohol are courtesy of Blockbuster for the next month and a half.
