Being Underemployed!

I am underemployed, what does that mean? It means that I work a lot of hours each day, but can not make my basic payments of stuff that people use every day, like car insurance, credit cards, rent, and food. Not to mention social needs like dating and going out with friends. Now how did this happen. Well I think because I am undereducated. When I look in the want ads, I see jobs for people with much higher education than I listed at salaries at about what I am getting paid right now. The President said in his last big speech that his focus is on jobs creations, but what does that mean? Will we all get government jobs, or will he funnel more money to private industry so they will hire more people? I've been thinking about turning to a life of crime. It seems to be the perfect solution. If you get away with it, you have money to pay your bills, and if you don't get away with it, at least you have a place to stay (jail) with three square meals a day. Because face it being underemployed is like being in jail anyway, You're resticted in where you can go, and other people control your actions and your social needs. But I most likely won't turn to crime because of the embarrassment it would cause for me and my family. I'm just going to keep plugging away, maybe find a second job, sell some stuff, who knows maybe prosperity is just arond the corner. Well it is sure taking it's sweet ass time getting here.

To Drink or Not To Drink

I am now coming to the end of the month without drinking Alcoholic beverages. And the main place that I hang out in is a Bar, Now people say to me it must be hard to hang out with when they are serving alcohol to every one around you. But it actually isn't that bad, the one thing I miss about drinking is being drunk, You know people say I drink for the taste, That's what I thought. " Oh I'll just have a gin and tonic with a splash of lime" or make sure that beer is cold, that's the only way to have one" Bullshit! We drink to get drunk because we as a people sober are very very boring and no fun to be around, at least that goes for the people I hang around with.
In 2 days the old me will be back funny and outgoing and just dam fun to be not only with but around, And all me pals well be funny as well and we'll have a good old time, Yes this January is over and so is the tea totaling me, although I did get a lot more work done and didn't sleep in as much even on the days I had to go to work. My,my,my Feb is a short month I'll see how it goes maybe I just learned that I could go out some nights and not get drunk, and come home early, get in bed and wake up on time nah that's crazy talk!
