Dear United States, please grow up.
Oh. Em. Frickin'-Gee Downstairs Neighbors. Why must you be so loud and obnoxious for a stupid football game?
Also, the United States INS can SUCK IT for hiking up their naturalization fees. And I don't just mean a nominal inflation increase. I mean nearly DOUBLING their previous fee of $350 to a whopping $675. Just to become a goddamn citizen. And after paying that fee, you still have to fill in the 10 page documentation form, enter photos, fingerprints, pass a written and oral exam on US history and wait six to seven months for the whole process to finish. Seriously talk about a friggin' zenophobic country. Make it easy for immigrants to become part of a new nation? Nahhhh, then the rest of the country wouldn't be SAFE would it? Gotta make all those strange aliens jump through hoops and over spitting pits of snakes before everything checks out and they're clear to land.
Ugh. Why do I even want to be part of a nation that instead of fixing the rift between rich and poor, consistently makes that rift LARGER and DEEPER?? Why is there so much political crap that comes in the way of doing the RIGHT THING? We all know right from wrong, but somehow some of us convince ourselves otherwise. 'Oh it'll be good for the country.' No, it'll be good for YOU.
It's like the law recently passed here that everyone has to have health insurance. Instead of making all health insurance more affordable, they added a tax penalty if you're without coverage. Once again, screwing over the people who really need it.
I'm so very angry. And so very tired and so very sick of life right now.
On the bright side, kittens are so very adorable when they paw at things. And look at you with huge-mongous eyes when you're eating food.
On the down side, they're not so adorable when they poop on the rug and pee on the couch. Oops. That was our fault though.
