What's happening?
Why are things going so bad?
Why is this shit happening to me?
I ask my self that question on a daily basis.
Some that followed my blog might remember the things I've been through over the last week, month, year, 2 years.
It's no different from what you've been through.
Yes, the circumstances are different, but the effects on life are the same.
What the fuck's going on?
I try. I give. I work. I do. I do my best, and it's great. And then I do my best, and it's not nearly good enough. What the fuck?
Every day is a constant struggle!
My struggle today?
Well, I have 4 days off. Well, 3 1/2 actually. My plans for the weekend were changed.
So now, I get to sit, after working so hard for so long, alone. For 3 days.
So what the fuck?
I have no money. It takes money to do anything in America, the land of opportunity. You need money to have a house. You need money to eat. You need money to have a fucking job so you can transport yourself from your house that you have to pay for to your job where you're treated like, fill in the blank.
so what the fuck?
where's the american dream? obama has it? hillary has it? mccain has it? i haven't seen it in any of those rich bastards! they just want my vote so they can pay off their campaign expenses and become richer. but somebody's gotta do that job, or there's anarchy.
 
i don't want that job. i can't afford it, and i don't have enough people around me that will give it to me. i'd be a bad president.
 
 
Why are things so hard?

    hmmmmm Trav, its the same everywhere really! not just America, the great Aussie dream slips slowly away from so many, it gets pulled out from under their feet.

    Right now, I'm over trying to have the dream, my dream is to be able to pay the damn bills at the moment and buy film, thats it!

    Its a poor second best but hey! you can annoy the shit out of us for free! for three point five days.

    :-D

    trav, i don't pretend that i understand really where you are psychologically. having said that: things are hard b/c if life were easy, we wouldn't appreciate it, IMHO.

    have you ever read the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.?
  • uniquely-ironic said on May 24, 2008....
    I don't get it either.  It's like trying to navigate a leaking boat through a hurricane most days.  The only solace I get is in remembering to enjoy the simple things.

    Hey, I just found this!
    Bottom line, when it comes down to it, you've got to take care of yourself.
    I know, it's a bummer.
     
     
    I did find this list of thigs you can do for free!
    I liked, "Say hello to cows", but I think "rubbing suntan lotion on people at the beach" is kind of creepy, so I would stay away from that one!

    lucy - yeah, i know it's the same everywhere. the people in china and berma have it much worse than we do here. this was just a vent encompassing everyone around me and what they've been saying, which is the same as me.
     
    silver - yeah, you're right, but sometimes you gotta piss and moan about it or it never gets any better, right?
     
    fallyn - no, i haven't. i've heard of it tho. but i have read the human comedy by heinlein. a very eye opening perspective.
     
    unique - yeah, that's how i feel about it right now too.
  • diabolicdame said on May 24, 2008....
    I hope things start looking up for you soon trav.. 
  • Fallyn said on May 24, 2008....
    i would have to say that book changed the way i think about EVERYTHING. read it.
  • travelr712 said on May 24, 2008....
    pickers - you must've been posting your comment at the same time as me, didn't mean to ignore you. i've done everything on that list except the testdrive and the butterfly thing, i don't know what that is.
     
    dia - thank you. they will, they always do.
  • polarheart said on May 24, 2008....
    Trav, is a difficult life everywhere.  I think we all need to vent like this sometimes and then we pick ourselves up and carry on.  I believe that there is always hope.  And my past experiences tell me that things do get better and that there are always small mercies scattered along the way that help us cope.
     
    Hang in there!

  • travelr712 said on May 24, 2008....
    yeah polar. i guess i just want some things for my life that i can't have right now, and it's frustrating me is all.
  • humanbeing said on May 24, 2008....

    Forgive me my friend, if I have misuderstood....I can only be...what that entails.

    I can only say that regret, in any form or shape is such an utter waste.  We humans have but one chance on this earth, and it seems such a shame to waite it with such selfish things...do not spend your time trying to forgive your self for what ever action you have taken...what is, is what is...there is nothing you can do to change that.

    I may be saying these things for my 'self', and perhaps I am not.  I intention is pure..my delivery perhaps flawed....my honest opinion when I read such things is that there is only you....you are the world and the world is you...be what you want of the world and the world will be you.  Most of all, be yourself without fear

    hb - not sure what you meant by that first part. this was more of a vent for all the people around me that have been telling me these things, and they're happening to me too. it's just life, i know, but right now it seems like everyone around me is having a bad one.
     
    qpdoll - thank you, it does :-)
