Pure, unadulterated randomness

Definitely nothing much today. It's 4:00 am and I'm blogging! Before that I was applying for jobs. I was laid off back in October and I just started working at the beginning of this month. Not making much cash, though. But at least I'll have something coming in, and something is FAR better than nothing, I guess! So now I'm looking for a second job to supplement the income I've got coming in. I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to get some of these bills paid...but I'll leave that up to God. He said the battle belongs to Him, right? Well, fight it already Lord. I tried buying lottery tickets and the most I won was twenty bucks. Obviously "Luck" ain't on my side as much as I'd like for it to be.

Moving on.........

I'm kind of in a bad mood right now over something that may sound a bit petty - but I don't care, LOL. I just have one question. Even if a person has decent credit, how can they buy a house when they barely make a thousand bucks a month? I'm sorry. How the HECK can a person manage to BUY and KEEP a house, and EAT, and pay the bills associated with owning a home and pay other bills when they hardly make any money? What the heck kind of first time home owner's program allows for that to happen? I would have been in a house a mighty long time ago. People and their assumptions drive me crazy. "You should be in a house!" No. Not really. So stop thinking that, stop saying that, stop believing that. How about this. I will tell YOU when I'M ready to buy a house. Right now is not the time, so get over it. I can't stand it when people act like they know me better than I know myself. Trust me. NO ONE knows me like that.

What also peeves me are the people who assume that because I live at home with my parents I can afford to spend my money any which way I can. Yeah. I've been doing that too. For far too long! That's why my debt to credit ratio looks like it does! That's okay, I have a plan - but people don't get it. I live with my parents NOW. I do not want to live with them FOREVER! People assume I'm going to be forty years old and still living in my parents' house...therefore, people are CRAZY!!! I LOVE my parents to peices but.....hell no. I gotta get up outta there! Like, when I worked overnight at Target, people didn't understand why I had to take on a second job. Well......you would too if you had serious FINANCIAL GOALS to accomplish. I'm getting too old to spend money like there ain't no dang tomorrow! Pa-leeze. I'm getting a second job and if I discover that there's room for a third I'm getting one of those too!

Now that that's all over..........

Inaguration is next week! I'm so excited and worried at the same time. This economy is a MESS. I could use another economic stimulous check, lol. I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. My new job is making me wait soooooooo long for my first paycheck and I'm like.....COME ON! I could really use that money, even though it won't be much. Now...this brings up a rather good question though: IS THE ECONOMY REALLY ALL THAT BAD? OR ARE PEOPLE SPENDING TOO MUCH FRIGGIN MONEY? I'm thinking that irrespisible financial habits are why everyone's seeking to be BAILED-OUT and economically stimulized, LOL! I take full responsiblity for my financial woes, but at the same time I have to admit it. The economy is rough. With a second job I'll get through it. I have credit card debt, doctors bills to pay off and savings accounts to build up. The couple of cents that's in those accounts now ain't gonna work for me. Some savings....hmph....

But anyway (getting back on topic), I just want Obama to be all that he's promised to be, and do all that he's promised to do. Historical event or nothing - that man better rock that White House! I'm not buying ANYmore Obama paraphenalia until I'm sure he's doing a decent enough job as Prez, LOL. Yeah I'm coming down hard on him. I trusted him. I believed in him. But in the end, he's still a polititian. In the end he was still trying to win votes. He'd better rock that White House!

I think that's it for tonight (or this morning rather)!
