"I like it better when it hurts"

It’s been about four days since I last updated and I have to say that It feels like it’s been a lot longer. I can’t explain what exactly makes it feel like it’s been longer, but that’s what it feels like. ^^;; A week or so to be exact, but really, wow, four days. *sigh* Wonder what I’ve been doing in my mind to make me feel that way. -lol- anyway.

Thursday is my birthday. Joy… I used to love it when my birthday rolled around, or any holiday where I’d get presents. But these past few years I just haven’t cared and I keep telling people that they don’t need to get me anything. Though, they get me something anyway. Some people might think I’m weird for saying “Don’t get me anything” and me actually meaning it, but I look at it this way. My parents don’t have money, my brother Mikel doesn’t have money, my brother Chris always forgets, my brother Shawn never remembers, and then my brother Nathan could care less. Then to top it all off, most of my friends forget too. Only one who’s ever remembered was Samm, and that’s only because my birthday is a day before hers.

So seriously, people should really stop getting me things, stop spending their money. I mean yeah, I would love to get things for my birthday but there are more important things to be putting the money to, am I right? In the long run, I think I’d rather have my mom and my dad, living comfortably and the same with my brother Mikel and his family. That’s what would really make me happy. To be able to see my mom walk into a store and see something she wants and be able to buy it without a second thought. Hell if I could get my career going, I’d give my parents my entire pay check every time I got one, just so they could live well and not worry about what hasn’t been paid.

Some people don’t realize how tough other have it. They take for granted the wonderful things they have. Could you imagine not being able to buy a new pair of pants to replace the beat-up, hole-filled jeans you own? Could you imagine not being able to pay for the car insurance when it rolls around, or the mortgage on your house, or the rent for your apartment, or even make ends met on such a low pay when you work at a simple restaurant?

I sit back and wonder what the hell is this world coming to? It’s crazy how much living costs. A student just out of high school can’t even live on their own anymore. They have to live with their parents or friends until they’ve managed to graduate from a college and then on top of that, who even knows if you can find a job after you’ve been educated further? Then you have to remember that you have to pay back the money you took for college. So how long does it take for someone to actually be able to live comfortably in this day and age?

*sigh* Okay I think I’m done ranting. -_-’’
