"Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion "
-Tracy Chapman
If I hear one more "have" whining about the "have nots," I will scream. Isn't it enough that we live in a country where social mobility is a joke? Must you take the last shards of pride and self respect from us? The budget that passed in Congress yesterday was a thinly veiled slap in the face for the poor of the USA. You can't get blood from a turnip. Already the leaders elected to represent us have squeezed us dry, while their pundits rub salt in our festering wounds. This is not my country. I cannot afford to be an American any longer. Screw Congress, screw Fox News, and screw whole greedy country!

In honor of Trayvon Martin, 1995-2012.

No Day But Today

"The Heart May Freeze Or It Can Burn
The Pain Will Ease If I Can Learn

There Is No Future
There Is No Past
I Live This Moment
As My Last

There's Only Us
There's Only This
Forget Regret
Or Life Is Yours To Miss
No Other Road
No Other Way
No Day But Today .....
There's Only Yes
Only Tonight
We Must Let Go
To Know What's Right
No Other Course
No Other Way
No Day But Today
  I Can't Control
My Destiny
I Trust My Soul

My Only Goal
Is Just - To Be

There's Only Now

There's Only Here
Give In To Love

Or Live In Fear
No Other Path
No Other Way

No Day But Today"
This is my mantra.......

RIP Trayvon Martin

Cruel World

I swear, the next person who texts me 50 texts in a row of utter bullshit......I hate texting, and all of my friends know it. It gives me a fucking headache. Plus, we're having some kind of weird March heat wave here, and I don't have air conditioning until May. The pain pills made me really sick, and I don't know how much more of this I can take. I'm trying DBT Therapy, but it just makes me feel guilty because I'm such an awful person. I just can't do it anymore. My head is pounding, so I can't even think. My girlfriend refuses to have a normal conversation over the phone.....but she also refuses to see me again until her insomnia is cured. She's had insomnia since I met her, over four and a half years ago, so that means we'll never see each other again.....

America!

I am so tired of greed running my country. People constantly bitch and complain about all of the benefits given to poor people. It's like people still believe that if you work hard and do everything "right," nothing bad can happen to you. That couldn't be further from the truth. I guess people have some kind of inherent need to feel superior, or else they are trying to convince themselves they will never end up like those of us who are forced to accept government help. Sadly, I did work hard and get excellent grades in school. Look where it fucking got me.....no one is invincible. Life is not about what happens to you- it's about how you deal with it. If you have enough, be grateful. Don't go picking at other people who aren't so lucky.
