Life...sometimes

I am the fire, burning the hole in your pocket...

The Good Life?
Man, I just spent almost $300 bucks for a stupid eye appt where they dialated my eyes, which WAS pretty cool, and gave me a semi-weak prescription for glasses I only need at night. And I realized, man it is really expensive to live healthy. I mean you're supposed to go to the Dentist 2x a year, an optometrist every 2-3 years, and the doctor, regularly. Just the cost of check-ups and other regulatory or whatever stuff like that are staggering. Then, even eating healthy gets expensive...I mean, there's no super healthy food for under a buck...all that shit is at MacDonald's and those other fast food chains. And even when it comes to rest, you should be sleeping comfortably, meaning, you should have a nice expensive mattress to sleep on. Basically, it costs to be healthy, and if you're broke...then you're just SOL (for those of us w/ lacking in the Acronymicalistic[made up word...of course] arts, it means sh#$ out of luck...yeah yeah, there should be TWO "o"s but I didn't make it up...send your compaints to www.whocares.com) man....how sad.

I'm a little tea pot
That's a ridiculous heading btw...but for some reason I feel that it fits...

You know, some people are just so immature it's sad. What is it about people that make them wanna act like lil kids when they're mad? And I don't mean having fun like little kids, because I think we ALL need to do that once in a while, but I mean getting mad like lil kids...ignoring, not confronting the problem, and being stupid and stuff? For goodness sakes, just face up to things that bother you...confront your situations...be assertive, get some balls. Really, get over it people. It's a grown up world out here...so grow up or get out.

My cousin that was supposed to come here like a month ago...has had yet ANOTHER delay in her plans. Her interview isn't until January fuckin 4th now. Damn, I hate how that whole system is so F'ed up over there... I don't even know why there's another delay, but there just is. So I talked to Mom today on the phone for like 1/2 hr at work and we're trying to set up a schedule for someone being w/ him at all times...basically she needs someone there while she's at work. And since I work during the week, I have the weekends. Mom's off on Tues & Wed...so pretty much Thursday, Friday, from 2 til when I get there, and Sunday when I have to leave back for Irvine need to be taken care of...shouldn't be so bad...and it's not forever...I can sacrifice a few months of weekends for the man who raised me...who always waited patiently for me...who turned me into the man I am today. It's not even a sacrifice... I just wish that he was self sufficient...not so that I wouldn't have to be home every weekend and not go out, but so that I can just know he's gonna be okay, cuz right now, we don't. One of his arteries are clogged, which the doctors determined probably caused his stroke...it's still pretty narrow so he has to get that taken care of. Things have gotten pretty bad for a lot of the people I really love and care for in my life. And although it is tough, you just gotta see through the rain and look for the sunshine. Things may be bad, but there ARE things to be grateful for, no matter what. Times like this that make me remember how glad I am to have God on my side.
