Dear Journal,
I have a joke for you. Who's the biggest loser in the world? Well, that'd be George W. Bush, but I'm close second, I think. It's so depressing that I'm a seventeen year old girl living in a city I hate, where I know everybody but they don't seem to notice me. I have no job, no job experience except for some babysitting jobs, and grades that seem to be flushing themselves down the toilet. I'm supposed to go to technical college to become an Early Childhood Education teacher after next year, but if I never pass the blasted math section on the exam, I don't know what'll happen! See, after high school one basically has three choices: straight-to-work, military, or college. Well, this town sucks for getting jobs. They say they are all "equal opportunity" and most will "train you," but what I say is that it's a pile of shit. One time I was filling out an application for the local Shopko, half way through it a screen popped up and said "We're sorry, but a person with your specific attributes are not needed at this time. Thank you." It was something to that effect. Equal opportunity, my arse! They didn't even give me a chance!
"It's us against the world." No, it's each individual against the world; that'd be the complete truth. No one says life is fair. Damn straight it isn't, it's a screwed up world with screwed up people living in it. It is so sickening listening to the news or reading the newspaper. The only stories that seem to catch headlines include murders or sexual harassments or abductions or worst of them all, President Bush killing off all our soldiers in a pointless war on the other side of the world! I mean, half the popluation in the U.S. voted for him?! Yeah, they're sorry now, but where does that leave America? There is no more America the Beautiful, and freedom isn't free.
Now, as a child I was "raised" as a Luthern, but since childhood I've learned a lot about religion and faiths. For me, I know not what my religion is, or even if I have one. Let's just say I've fallen from grace and have little or no faith left. I've asked God to aide me in any way for different reasons, maybe even greedy ones, but never selfish. I ask him to help family or friends or the world. He seems not to answer any of my pleas, so where then should my faith lie?
