Artist: Taking Back Sunday Album: Where You Want To Be Song: Little Devotional [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics  Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: Where is your favorite place to eat? Is it a restaurant, a room in your house, or somewhere else? I feel like I talk about food a lot. It's a subject a need to have more to say about. It's awful. It really is. I know my entry is going to be in sad shape when the prompt is about food. I do like some places to eat though. I'll go to a local place with dim lights and all. I like it if the food is decent and not so goddam greasy. We have some good pizza joints here, deep dish and all that. It damn near makes me sick to go to those goddam tex-mex restaurants or just a place trying to make food that they don't know very well. What I mean is, I hate it when someone tries to make Italian food but it's not authentic. They're big phonies and you can taste it in the food. I'll still go there though if someone wants to. I can be moody as hell when I want to be and I hate to do things I don't want to do, but I'll do them anyway. I really will. I guess my favorite restaurants are the ones that have live music or something. I like to drink wine with my food too, or sometimes just substitute the food for wine altogether or something. That always turns into a helluva meal. It's kind of like how a sandwich is just a sandwich. Food is just food. It really is. List Mania: What can you do on a rainy day? Make a list of things you can do for fun or to relax while the raindrops patter on the windows. Rainy day fun list  Read a book. I don't always have time to read books, but when I do, it's usually raining. There's nothing better than curling up with a good book on a stormy day when you have nothing else better to do. It has been a long time actually since I've just read a whole book in one sitting. I usually read now before I go to bed only because it helps me sleep.  Watch a movie. October is horror movie month in my house. Well, I guess every month is kind of horror movie month because we both love horror movies so much, but especially October. The two weeks leading up to Halloween are like nonstop horror flicks. Sleeping. Sorry, but there's nothing better than sleeping during a storm. I especially like sleeping during the day because it's comfortable for some reason. When I have to wake up early, I don't go to sleep early the night before. I just go to bed late, wake up early and then go to sleep when I get back home. I can go to sleep easily at 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I'll sleep a couple hours and then be up all night again.  Video games. What a chill time. My favorite system is the super nintendo. We have a ps4 now and I'll play some silly games on it like Little Big Planet or something. I don't like the super serious games. I just sort of like the sidescrollers like Super Mario and Yoshi's Island. I don't get really serious about it, but I'll play on a rainy day. Art. I'm not a super artist, but I do like to paint and sketch on a dreary day. There's something inspirational about that type of weather, which brings me to my next point... Write. How the fuck did this take so long to come up?   What writer doesn't like to write on a rainy day? Cleaning. Yeah, it might not be fun, but when else are you gonna do it? I'm actually the worst cleaner. I don't know what I'd do without Kira. I'm awful because I want everything to be clean, but I don't actually want to do the part where I clean. I just hate it, even if I blare music and zone out doing it... it still sucks. Shopping. Oh, look, something I actually like doing! I used to work in a mall and we would get hella busy when it stormed outside because people can just go from store to store without having to go out in the rain. It's the perfect thing to do because it's something to do where you can keep dry too. Bake. I don't cook, but I do bake. I like to make things like cupcakes and cookies. My grandmother and I used to bake all the time together when I was a kid, so I know how to make an awesome cake, but I can't make any actual food that you would have for a meal.  Play cards and board games. Poker, anyone? Gin Rummy? Want to ruin our relationship over a game of Monopoly?  I'm pretty sure I could keep myself entertained with this category all day. It would be fun, right?well i'm blowing smoke out of your window and you're slipping back into your dress you know you were always such a lady i've always been impressed |
Artist: Placebo Album: Sleeping With Ghosts Song: Special Needs [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: Where do you see yourself in twenty years' time? I'm not real good at looking into the future, to tell you the truth. I get sorta uncomfortable as hell when I think about 20 years into the future and being all middle age-y. I don't know hardly anybody who wants to think about where they will be in 20 years. I hate when they ask in an interview where you want to be in even 5 years. You never know what will happen and a bunch of things could change in a matter of seconds. How should we estimate such a long period of time? I won't get sore about it or anything. It's just, how the hell should I know? I hate be damn touchy about it though. I only just recently started to think about the future, if you want to know the truth. Before this year, I thought I wouldn't make it to see the next. It's depressing as hell, but I lived like that for years. Then I realized, Chrissake, I'm still around, I better start making plans. So that's when I went to college and all. I only want to get a degree I can get a goddam job with and it's harder than it sounds with no place hiring. I don't want a real show-offy job like my brother and all. I'd like a lot of dough, but nothin' show-offy. He's a helluva good guy, my brother, but his job is so goddam snobby. Maybe in 20 years I will still be married and I'll have a good job and a house with the slanted roofs and all with a special room just for writing up in the attic or somewhere. But also, maybe I won't. That's what I'm saying though. You can be terrific at something or have something terrific and it can all just slip away. Life is a pain in the ass like that. You just never know. I damn near never think about it. I really don't. List Mania: Make a list of something from A to Z.

Artist: Placebo Album: B-Sides Song: Nancy Boy [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: What are three things we don't know about you? You never know everything about anyone, and I don't think you should either. When I meet someone, what I'll do is just feel them out for a bit before I really tell them anything about myself. Some people are very closed off and other people are very open and all. If I tell you all my goddam secrets, what will I have left to hold onto? I reckon there's a lot that most people here don't know about me, but I'm not about to go and share it and all. I'll tell you a few things you probably don't know because you don't see me in person, but to tell you the truth, I'm having trouble coming up with anything. I do that sometimes, have trouble writing even with a prompt. Most of you probably don't know that I wanted to be an astronomer when I was little. My third grade teacher told me I wasn't smart enough. That kills me. I was too young to see what a big phony she was, but I always liked to look at the stars and it would sort of make me feel cosy, even with all the space. I stopped wanting to be an astronomer at some point, probably near the time I was told I wasn't smart enough to do it because I didn't have a lot of confidence and all. You all wouldn't know that I can't really look people in the eyes either. It's depressing as hell. It really is. When someone talks to me, I can't hardly make eye contact without getting uncomfortable as hell. I'm not too crazy about people looking at my eyes, to tell you the truth. When they try to, what I'll do is, I'll just pretend to be distracted by something else or look beyond them. I really do. For the last thing, well... I am a little bit of a germaphobe, if you want to know the truth. I probably wash my hands about 200 times a day and I hate when things get dirty or someone does something disgusting as hell. When someone takes their gum out of their mouth to eat a piece of food and then puts their gum back in their mouth, I could puke. I really could. It grosses me right the hell out.

Artist: Modest Mouse Album: This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About Song: Dramamine [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: What's on your favorite sandwich? Do you prefer enjoying it in silence, or while reading, or with company? A sandwich is just a sandwich. I don't have much to say about it or anything. I don't mind eating with company as long as they don't interrupt about a thousand times with food in their goddam mouth. If you really want to know, I'm a vegetarian and all, so I like around 200 different vegetables on my sandwich. I guess cheese is okay too. I don't like to read while I eat. What if I got something on my book? I'd about have a hemorrhage if I got food on one of my books. Eating doesn't take a whole lot of time either, when you think about it. It doesn't have to be a gaddam ordeal or anything. I guess it's okay to eat with people. It's a good time to talk and all. What I'll do is, I'll just eat my food real slow if I'm more interested in the conversation. If I want to get the hell out of there though, I'll just eat a lot faster, I guess. I wish I could talk more about sandwiches, but like I said, they're just goddam sandwiches. They're fine and all, but... what can I say?

Artist: Beastie Boys Album: Licensed to Ill Song: She's Crafty [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: If you need a break just from being yourself, how do you relax? Well, why do I need a break from myself? What's wrong with me? It's depressing as hell if someone needs a break from their self. A lot of people probably go to the movies, but I can't stand the movies. Don't even mention them to me. What a bunch of phonies and all. I damn near go mad if I can't find something to do when I want to. I don't need a break from myself, but I need to see my friends sometimes and all. I work and study all the time. I really do. If I need a break, I might read a book or go see Jordan. I'll get lonesome as hell if I don't see him for too long, to tell you the truth. We mostly might just lay in goddam bed and listen to music all afternoon or we might have some drinks until things go fuzzy and all. I can be a little bit wild. I don't have much direction in life, but I always get up to something. I always work it out. There are a lot of comforts in my life now. I was always fine with some crumby room somewhere. Any place you can lay your head and write a little just for the hell of it is worth a night. Now I have goddam near everything, but I feel the same as back then. My head is lousy with cockroaches and all, but now I can do anything I want to get away from myself, and I do. List Mania: Name as many objects as you can that will float. Things That Float Me. I can float like nobody's business. Just lay on my back and chill in the pool or whatever. It's hella strange to me when someone doesn't know how to float. How can you not be able to float in water? Are you a rock? Ships. All things watercrafty can float, hopefully. Just never say that something's unsinkable. That's a surefire way of having it sink and kill a bunch of people. Dead bodies. They really do. Balloons. When they're filled with helium, not oxygen. Bubbles. Pop pop. Plastic/cans/garbage. What's worse than seeing an otherwise pretty lake full of floating garbage? Yuck. Clouds. Unless they're fog, and even then, they float a little bit. Rubber duckies.  Wood. I see you drifting along there. Smoke. Puff puff.We got into the cab - the cab driver said He recognized my girlie from the back of her head He said a little something about tip to base So I made him stop the cab to get out of the place |
Artist: The Velvet Underground Album: The Velvet Underground Song: Pale Blue Eyes [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics Blog Like You're... Holden Caulfield: What's your morning routine like between the time you wake up and the time you first leave the house for your day? I'm blogging as Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye this week so if you don't like the words 'goddam' and 'sonuvabitch', you're going to be offended as hell. I have a helluva lot of trouble just waking up in the morning. When I'm in bed in the morning and I hear people getting in their cars for work... That kills me. I don't wake up early and leave for the day. It's phony. I could puke every time I have to do it for school. Mornings are sort of crumby. I sleep through them mostly, if ya wanna know the truth. When I finally do wake up, I have a smoke and maybe coffee. I work from home so I don't have to go out in the lousy traffic and all. I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam morning or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened one time. It was a Friday at about 6 in the morning and I woke up to a banging on the door. It must've been about a thousand goddam times. I opened the door and my neighbor was standing there. I'm not too crazy about him, if you want to know the truth. He sort of smiles all the time. He really does. Even when something bad happened. It's phony. But he is my neighbor and all so I chew the fat with him sometimes. That day though, he was making a helluva racket. He has three cars. He really does. Did I mention he's sort of a big shot? Anyway, he got serious as hell and said, "Someone slashed all my tires." And they really did too. I went right down to the parking lot and saw it myself. All 12 of his tires were slashed and nobody else's were. That killed me. He looked at me upset as hell then and said, "Who would do this?" Then I felt pretty lousy because I felt sorry as hell for him all of a sudden. All his goddam tires were flat and nobody could do anything about it. He was in sad shape and it was raining and all. That was a sort of bad morning, but mostly I just sleep through them, to tell you the truth. List Mania: List all the Things (big or small) You Want to Be Known For What I Want To Be Known For/As: Sympathy/Empathy. The last thing I want to be known for is being a hard guy. I hate when people can't be sympathetic or empathetic for other people and I feel bad when someone says that I seem like I don't care about them, because I do. I care about everyone, so I try to get that point across to people. Intelligence. I work really hard to educate myself, so I hope that I come off as being smart most of the time. I don't need anyone to know my grades or what I go to school for or anything like that. I just hope that I don't come off as being stupid or anything. Creativity/Writing. These kind of go hand-in-hand, but most of the people in my real life don't know how much I write or anything. I think most of them would still say that I'm creative just because of the way I talk and approach conversations. Music. Music is really important to me and I'm always listening to it. In real life, people definitely associate me with music and a lot of times if someone gets me a little knick-knack or keychain on vacation, it'll be something music related because they know how much I like music. I think people kind of know me for liking music here too because of my blog and having a song with my entries. Passion/Emotions. I guess this kind of goes along with sympathy/empathy, but I never want to be seen as cold. That's the worst thing to me is when relationships feel sterile and cold. I just like passion and feelings a lot. I might not be perfect, but my relationships with people are intense and all-consuming. I just like that. Loyalty. I've mentioned before that I'm like a dog. I just love everyone, but I really want to be known for loyalty to the people who deserve my loyalty. Someone can do just about anything to me and I'll still be on their side at the end of the day once I'm loyal to them. Humor. Who doesn't like to laugh? It doesn't matter what someone's sense of humor is like, I try to appeal to it because I think people feel good when they're laughing. Reasonability. This one is important, I think. People aren't going to be honest with you if you're an unreasonable person. A surefire way to make me lie to you is to get angry with me when I tell you the truth. It only takes one time of someone overreacting to my vulnerabilities for me to shut them out forever. A lie will roll of my tongue naturally if I feel like the only other option is having you angry at me. I hope that I'm reasonable with other people so that they feel comfortable coming to me with things. Normal/Humble. I know this one's probably not going to top anyone's list when describing me, but it's definitely something I want to be known as. I just like the unassuming nature of some of the people that I know and have known in the past, so I want to be like that. Willpower. A lot of people think that you should compromise with those around you, and I sort of don't agree. I think that you sometimes need to be selfish and do the things that you need to do to better your own life. I think I'm good at this. I also respect this in other people.It was good what we did yesterday And I'll do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly, truly a sin |
30DBC: What is the most annoying sound you have ever heard? Oh god, there are so many annoying sounds. I have to say though, the prompts this month have been on point, for real. Have you been making these up on the fly, Fivesixer  ? If so, you should be taking my BCOF job. Please? One of the most straight up annoying noises to me is hearing a baby cry. I know everyone loves kids and blah blah. I don't care. A crying baby makes my ears bleed. I hate when you're out at a restaurant or a movie and there's a shrieking baby the whole time. I get migraines though, so that's probably why. I take preventative migraine medicine before I go to, like, a concert or someplace loud. I don't think to take medication before going out to eat. I'd probably be a terrible parent because I'd be like, oh my god, please shut up...That's not the most annoying noise to me though because I'm not around it often enough to really hear it a lot. My number one most annoying sound is the Wilhelm Scream. For those of you who don't know, it's a stock sound effect of this very specific scream and it has been used in like a million movies. The problem is, once you hear it the first time, you can never unhear it. I notice it movies I watch all the time and it's awful to be in the middle of watching something and then be like, ugh, fucking Wilhelm Scream... It takes you out of the moment. So, to start with, this is the 3-second clip of just the scream itself. [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Now that you know what the scream sounds like, watch this Wilhelm Scream compilation. It's crazy how often this stock scream is used in movies. [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Like, what in the fuck?! Everyone just screams like that? "AahhAAAhhAAA" Most annoying noise ever because it distracts me during movies. Well, that does it for me. Thanks for another awesome month of blogging. I won't be around much for the next couple months because I'm doing NaNo Prep and then NaNo in November. I mean, I'll be around, but probably not blogging as much. I paced around for hours on empty I jumped at the slightest of sounds And I couldn't stand the person inside me I turned all the mirrors around |
30DBC: I know people often joke about TMI (too much information)...but all kidding aside, can too much information ever be a bad thing? TMI definitely exists. I mean, you can't be a total prude. I hate when people are shocked and appalled by everything, especially when you can tell they're just being dramatic. This is funny because I can't think of even one example of what I'm talking about... I guess it's like the people who act like everything is awkward and they'll loudly say, "AWKWARD!" every time there's a two-second lull in the conversation. They're the same as the TMI people. There's a difference between something being TMI and something being a joke or even just a statement of information. Here are some examples of "TMI" that I found in this New York Times article ."I don't need to know how much candy anyone, other than me has eaten." "As for my ex-boyfriend, I don't need to hear about his wife's ability to Zumba." "I had to stop following certain friends because I was constantly seeing them tweet about all the parties I wasn't invited to!" Like, seriously? Oh, poor you. You had to hear someone tell you that they ate an entire package of fun-size Snickers. Get the fuck over yourself. It's not too much information for someone to tweet about a party they're at. Why don't you get off of social media if you're too emotionally crippled to hear about other people living the life that you're too boring to live? The worst is when people act like completely natural things are TMI. Like if someone mentions the words 'period' or 'masturbation', it's instantly like, "OH MY GOD. WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION. I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU, A 30 YEAR OLD WOMAN, MENSTRUATE. UGHHH."  I saw something from an interview where an actress said that she was uncomfortable doing a certain scene because she was on her period during filming and people were like, talking shit about how that's too much information. No, it's really not. If it's relevant to the interview, who gives a fuck?But, let's move on to when TMI does come into play. The number one TMI that bothers me is when people are sick and describe in grotesque detail the inner workings of their illness. Maybe it's because I'm a little bit of a germaphobe. I just don't want to hear about how you had projectile vomiting and diarrhea at the same time during your last gastrointestinal virus. Yikes.  Like, that's totally a scenario where you can just be like, "I was incapacitated last week because I had a stomach virus." Trust me, I'll know what that entails. Really, anything you have to do in the bathroom is okay to be left out of general conversation, unless it's important to the story and it's something so out of the ordinary that the normal mind could never jump to that conclusion naturally.Another one is telling random people the details of your sex life. I mean, if they're your close friends, that's one thing. It's a normal thing to mutually disclose that kind of information with a close friend, but with someone you don't even know? It can be a bit much. For me, it's not too much information in a way that I become uncomfortable, but more like I have no idea what to say so I'm just like, "Cool, man." There's this kid in my speech class that always seems to tell me about his sex life, like every week, and I've never told him anything about mine. He'll just be like, "I think I might fuck this bitch tonight" (yeah, verbatim) and then show me a picture on his phone of an entirely mediocre-looking girl and I'm like, "Yeah? Well, good luck, man..." Still though, TMI situations are just mildly amusing for me at best. I'm never, like, offended or anything. The only one that truly does bother me is the illness talk and that's only because it grosses me out when someone describes draining the boil on their back or something like that. Just... ew. Why? BLOG CITY: Why are works of historical fiction so popular with today’s readers? What appeals to you the most about these types of books, if anything at all? I'm just going to be completely honest here and say that I can't stand historical fiction. There's nothing about it that does anything for me as a reader. I know that there are some really good historical fiction novels, but as a general rule, I avoid it when I can. I think it might be popular because people do like to get out of their element when they're reading. They like to escape to a different world and it can be interesting to see history through the view of historical fiction. Some people are really interested in the way people talked, lived, and dressed during certain time periods. It can be interesting to see historical events through the eyes of a fictional character that was 'there' at the time. For the most part though, I'm not a fan of history, meaning that I'm not interested in it. I think a lot of history has been warped to fit what history writers want people to think. It's something that was passed down a lot, so the actual events that took place are often different than what we've been told. In school, a lot of details are left out that would make white people look bad. (That is if you have U.S. education.) They skim over things like what happened to the Indians. They'll usually just sort of say that the Indians were all animalistic and crazy, dying off from smallpox and wars they started. They'll tell you that Columbus discovered America and that slaves were kidnapped from Africa by Europeans and brought to America. I can't get into something with so many inconsistencies. I like things that are unwavering and literal. That's why I like math. The last history teacher I had right before I dropped out of high school had us reading this book, Lies My Teacher Told Me . It was everything that American history textbooks get wrong. But then there was a lot of backlash about how this book was also wrong. So... the textbooks were wrong, this book was wrong... The purpose, I think, although I dropped out too early to know, was going to be that we should always question everything we learn. Well, I don't have to question math, so I'll stick with that. I like the sad eyes, bad guys Mouth full of white lies Kiss me in the corridor But quick to tell me goodbye |
30DBC: Do you have any guilty pleasures when it comes to music...something you think no one else really knows you listen to and enjoy, or are maybe a little afraid to admit? Ah, well, you caught me there. Look, my defense is that you don't listen to as much music as I do without having some guilty pleasures. I'm bad at guilty pleasures because I fail at the 'guilty' part. I'm loud and proud about the less than awesome music that I like and I don't really care what anyone has to say about it, because, why should I? In fact, my friend and I were singing "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys during our math break last week. I'm not as big of an attention whore as he is, but it's literally impossible not to sing along with that song. It's so fucking catchy. People's reactions are hilarious too when you sing the Backstreet Boys in 2015. It's like a 50/50 split between cracking the fuck up and giving you the raised eyebrow. ಠ_ಠI love anything that's catchy. If I can sing along with it and I hear it, it's going down. That means Madonna , Taylor Swift , literally all of the 90s one hit wonders... I love "Steal My Sunshine" . I love the Bloodhound Gang . Oh god, I almost forgot the Spice Girls .  We know you really wanna zigazig ah, Scary Spice, you slutbag.One of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures though is Ke$sha, especially the song "Blah Blah Blah" . I mean, who can resist these lyrics?Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Coming out your mouth with your blah blah blah Zip your lips like a padlock And meet me at the back with the jack and the jukebox I don't really care where you live at Just turn around boy and let me hit that Don't be a little bitch with your chit chat Just show me where your dick's at. I listen to this song way too often. And yes, I sing along with every part of it. "Wanna dance with no pants on?" Before anyone asks, nah, we don't sing that one in math class. There's this whole student code of conduct thing. But, look, I think music has different purposes depending on the situation. I don't wanna listen to Bob Dylan at a party and I don't wanna listen to Aqua when I'm on a late night drive. I have my sleep music, cleaning music, homework music, party music, driving music. I've got myself covered and I'm totally not ashamed.  BLOG CITY: Overthinking--Do you think that overthinking creates problems? Has it ever created problems for you, your family and friends, or for the characters in your stories? Writers overthink by nature, I think. < See, I can't stop thinking. Overthinking can create problems if it makes you anxious or depressed. If you're too worried to sleep or can't focus because you're too inside your head. It has happened to me before, most often when I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone and I realize that they're mid-story and I totally missed the beginning of it. I've been told that I'm too inside my head a lot. People will tell me to pay attention or whatever. What I always think about though is whether I'd rather overthink or underthink. Most of us would probably rather think too much than too little. I've met people before who don't think a lot and they're so strange to me. I always feel like I'm talking to a shoe. Not because they're stupid or anything. I mean, you don't have to think all the time to be smart. But they're just dull to me. Like, they have nothing interesting to say and won't engage in conversation because they've never thought about anything before and they're not about to start now. Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me? Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me? Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me? Pointing fingers cause you'll never take the blame like me? |
Artist: The Rolling Stones Album: Exile On Main St Song: Rocks Off [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] Lyrics 30DBC: What's the biggest story in your hometown this weekend? Not where you're living now, but the place you were born (if they're not the same area). I had to go with this article because it's just... so Lewiston. In case any of you aren't already aware, I'm from a small area in Maine. Southwest of Cinn  , so we most likely didn't pick the same news story, though my article is from Bangor. Nice. Lewiston mayor calls to list welfare recipients I can't tell you how much it made me laugh to search my old town and see this news headline all over google. Look, we even made it onto USA Today ! Of course, it has to be for something as completely absurd as listing the names of welfare recipients, how long they've been on welfare, their addresses. What in the actual hell?? Amazing. Stay classy, L-A. Here is the mayor's original column in the Twin City Times if you'd like a good laugh today. The best part is that I never look at the news there, like, ever. So one time in the last I dunno... 7 years that I look at it, the news story is about something so completely and utterly ridiculous that all you can really do is shrug in amazement. My favorite part of his column was the last line, "Next week, we will talk about our progressive liberal friends' war on the elderly." I swear to god, that line alone sums up where I'm from. They're terrified of anything that's even moderately 'left', as if NOT giving out the addresses of welfare recipients is progressive. And this guy is running for his THIRD term. Like, the people there are legit like, "Yes, this guy gets me." It's straight up embarrassing.He also said that his hope is that the article will, "make people think twice about applying for welfare." Uhh... I'm just trying to think of how this would go down. "I know that we're all going to starve to death if we don't apply for welfare benefits, honey, but people are going to know our name and address if we're on the welfare list. Holy fuck. Can you think about being a kid there and having your family listed as a welfare family? lmfao. I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed Plug in, flush out and fire the fucking feed Heading for the overload Splattered on the dirty road Kick me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more |

I'm still so confused. How did they get to senior-level finance with so little know-how. I don't get it. 
People definitely tend to jump straight to the worst conclusion when any problem arises, which is why you so frequently hear, "My computer is broken!" when there's really a simple fix. 
I have seen so much of the disasters it has caused with some people. I have in the past been unconsciously roped into financial situations that were most unpleasant and having to make sensible plans to unravel them.
