i'm supposed to be at the library, right? wrong! due to budget cutbacks, the library is now closed on mondays. what the hell? its a fucking weekday. i need the library. kim forgot to call me to make sure i got up. but thats ok, bc i didnt go anyway. now im going to give up my shift for tomorrow.. i will only make $27, anyway, so its not a big loss. i have a good section tonight (bar 6, three booths,woo! and hopefully gregg is closing, bc then i will be there till late, and will make a lot of money.).. im working upstairs in 7 friday night, which is a closer.. three tables next to the window, which you cant see out, but people loooove. then i have a crappy sat am shift, but im alright with it, its the last saturday before christmas, mad people will be out shopping, so hopefully i can pull in $100. that would give me about $300 more christmas shopping, which would give me about $400, and i would be very happy with that. im actually hoping for a wee bit more, like maybe $500, but i have some available credit too.. which would be unwise to abuse, but hell. its christmas! i'd like to get something for everyone this year.. i have to get the usual people (mom, dad, rich, antonia, katie..), but i want to get something for my cousins, and something for am's baby.. and i'd like to get something for my godparents, bc they are coming over to the house for christmas. my mom and i are making christmas dinner, and i am soooo excited. i should email my dad. i talked to him the other day and he was being all beligerent bc i made my fabulous soup for thanksgiving, and im making it for christmas, and i made it at the dinner party, but i havent made it for him. so i said i would make it for christmas eve. i should email the ingredients, bc i am not bringing them.
blah. im so tired of this saddam crap. i mean. i just dont think he was planning on taking over the world, or producing weapons of mass destruction. not that i think he wouldnt have if he could, but seriously. he had no planes or anything to deliver a nuclear weapon.. and besides, it takes fuckin skill, and i just dont think they had the technology.. he was the distraction. oops, we cant find osama, lets get another arab instead. we can have a hunt while also distracting people from realizing that all this is in effort to establish an American hegemony across the world. your culture isn't like ours, nor is it conducive to capitalism, so we will destroy you, and make yr people conform. soon american companies can move into the middle east, hire the people at slave wages in order to promote profit, and they will no longer be rebelling. on a related note, i heard there was an insurrection in iraq over the weekend bc they wanted to be paid more than $60 a month (i guess the US is paying the iraqi army?). imagine living on only $60 a month? the way these people think.. the way that the capitalists think.. it blows my mind. people cant live on $60 a month, nor can they live on $5.15 an hour. i made like $15,000 this year already, and *i* cant survive on that. i am a family of ONE, and im not a big spender. i dont party, i dont go out to eat a lot, in fact, i dont even eat a lot. granted i would have like $100 more a week if i quit smoking. well maybe not that much. but its like $5 a pack (cos parliaments are always buy two get one), and i smoke like a pack and a half a day. but regardless, i dont see how the poverty line is so low. its like $2,000 for a family of FOUR. i might be way wrong on this though. however, i do know that its ridiculously low, and that it blows my mind that people can be employed and make so little money.. all my money goes to paying the capitalists. its a stupid money cycle. they pay me meager wages (or in my case, they simply pay my taxes, the public pays me my wages), which i put in the bank (and pay the bank to hold onto for me), and then pay the landlord or the credit card people, so all the money does is circulate.. and it circulates to and from capitalists, through my bank account. its like tranferring funds through a middle man. why doesnt my job just pay my landlord? the money is never mine, its always being spent on promoting the lifestyle of a group of capitalists. i can sit here and i can work hard to make money, and never have any for myself, while corporate heads sit on golf carts or at home being pampered.. for doing nothing except getting paid huge dividends. wow, im ranting hardcore. must shush.
there is nothing on. i would usually watch ricki lake, but its a repeat and i just saw it last week. so im like watching this other crappy show. i might have some cocoa pebbles in a second. the wind outside is pretty intense..
i have to leave for work at 3. which is almost two hours away. i hope hope hope that tim isnt there. because i am so over him right now. i have to fuss about my schedule. i cant deal with this. anyway i think im gonna get eat that cereal. byebye.
