So here's the stichk
Apparently there IS something Good about being Poor as all hell. LOL
and this is a list of the few good things about being Broke.
1. You own no cloths that require special care , therefore I do not need to send anything out to be dry cleaned (saving money there LOL IF I had any this would matter to me)
2. I do not have to sort my cloths either, I can get away with using Generic Cold wash Tide detergent (which is really Tide anyhow with out the fancy pkg) so not only saving time but also $$$ (which I don't have anyway LOL)
3. I have no personal account information that any hacker in their right mind would want.
*allow me to take a moment to thank my x husband for assuring that I would never own anything not even credit cards, thereby making me the safest person on the net.
LOL For real I can go any where in the net with out worry that my bank account will be found or my credit will be screwed up LOL what bank account ?? What credit ??? Ohhh you mean that 500 thing-y yeah who cares what are they gonna freaking do with my info ? Improve it ??? LOLOLOLOL
4. No paranoia ...yep I am free from having to worry about closing my facebook account or myspace or any such accounts because Hey I'm Broke. I'm unemployable, I'll never own anything ever again so therefore I have nothing for any one to take.
5. I don't have to worry about what some non existant future employer might think about how many applications I have and play (which apparently means you waist time) I don't have to worry they won't like the people on my friends list AND most employment agencies already say that because I'm Broke I'm a theft risk and won't hire me anyhow. (THAT is offensive to me but hell no one cares how much I'm offended by anything due to the fact that IN THIS country you must be at least upper middle class in order to fit the demographic as a real human being.) I'm so broke I'm not even as high up as trailer trash LOL I'm not even the stuff a person would find on the curb of a trailer park .
One article said what if the FBI decides you have inappropriate friends on your list or too many you may become a target for investigation or exclusion in some Gov. job openings ... Drum roll please......brrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuummmmmmmm My Government already dislike's me because I am Half Native American and I'm Broke so they already watch me as a potential subversive so who give's a damn ...LOL
I Support the American Indian rights Movement ! I sign FREE Lenard Pieltier Petitions every time I see one.
I support Decriminalization and Legalization of Marijuana and Promote HEMP as an alternative to deforestation ...I not only am fairly sure I have an agent assigned to me I probably have my Own satellite I hope it's in a good location somewhere next to the Hubble maybe ??? I like to wave at them (agents) from time to time (it annoy's the freaking hell out of them ) LOL I'm from WI we are friendly people here (of course most of us are drunk too) but hey Smile back we might just mean it LOL
Ok some of this is Obvious Sarcasm but over all Broke is OK and Liberating ! No Gov. Agency Cares what my opinion's are therefore they don't try to take my rights away from me either.
I have no need to keep up with the Smith's or the Jones's I won't die from Stress related heart failure. Or for that matter murder because again I have nothing for anyone to steal.
I DO NOT DATE !!!! (Why Bother I quit Drinking 20 plus years ago and Alcohol was the only thing that made Men tollerable to me) So I won't be going home with any potential Ted Bundy's and guess what folks... I'm still fascinated with life and the natural world.
I Always find a way to wake up and do it all again and yeah I really hate being unable to work I hate being disabled but I have time for reading, writing, learning photography (which by the way doesn't require $1000.00 worth of equipment or lessons. I actually know how to read so I went to a library and got a book and I had some change from recycled cans and bought a fling disposable camera from Walgreens (I dislike Wal mart) and I will still be able to learn How to take photo's. Imagine that.
I also know how to Sew and fix (repair) my cloths instead of buying new ones every other week I own 2 pair of shoes and one pair I no longer need so I will donate them to Salvation Army.
I know how to crochet things like rugs out of plastic bread bags as well as any garbage bags..
I know how to cook from scratch and there fore I do not need to eat out.
I have friends and relatives that allow me computer time and I have learned how to make many web graphics .
Life goes on.
My daughter will be getting married and I will be Happy for her and we will have probably one of the most WOW was that Bride BEAUTIFUL and Happy weddings planned for next to nothing as far as cost's.
I don't want people walking away from MY daughter's wedding talking about the price of this and that I want people to REMEMBER My Daughter's BEAUTIFUL Smile !
I want people to be focused on how Dang Happy she is.
If the only thing anyone remembers is how much something COST what does That say about us as a people???
Life is what you make from it.
My Child has never had everything handed to her . She had to help work for things she wanted I took care of the needs but there were no frills unless we worked together. Guess what happened? She has never gotten in trouble with the Law , She has never been a teen age mom , she is a Fine Caring Human being who understands Hard work, sacrifice , disappointment, and what Great Joy is. She knows what accomplishment feels like. She knows how to share. She also understands gratitude , Hope , Faith, Unconditional Love of a parent. as well as what it feels like to have one that let's you down and what it takes to forgive them for it.
Life is Just.
After watching all the utter Bull shhh it that goes on in the news and lives of the Rich and famous I am more than Happy, hell I'm tickled pink to be Broke. I wouldn't change a thing.
yeah I know typos and spelling are all over the place but you know what I don't care. I'm not concerned about the grammer police and besides I'm sure someone will feel the need to let me know just how little I deserve to be alive because I left out a coma or spelled something wrong ...and they will use 4 letter words to do it to. So who cares. I went to college and I Achieved Great grades and still was not allowed to finish. I just wasn't blue blooded enough to matter. LOL and before you all feel it is necessary to remind me that I have no worth. You'll have to get in line so please have a seat and take a number.
BOTTOM LINE if you can't find at least one thing (person) in your life that you are grateful for the presence of and That IF you lost everything tomorrow you would still have a reason to wake up and try again .....You need to re-access your standards and goals.
LIFE is NOT negotiable.
LIFE is NOT a big Price Tag.
Market's crash and the World turns anyway.
Store's Close and the sun comes up and set's on another day. Can't have a BMW or a Jag.? Guess what there are a lot of quality used cars out there and they will get you from point A to Point B destinations and many will C you through any Gas crunch or economic Slowed to a frickin' Halt time in your life you just need to exercise common sense.
So let's quit whining about ooooo I have to close my personal pages online ...and OMG what will the neighbors think? you know what ? your neighbor already know's who and What you are based on your actions or reactions to snow, leaves, and doggy doo doo so no matter how great you make your Web page look isn't going to matter one stinking bit.
so GET A GRIP on REALITY !
