I've come to the conclusion that I don't need to have any fun---even though I'd like to. Entertainment is something that should only interest the middle-class and the rich, for they can afford it. A guy like me should have a boring life. I should not desire anything that costs more than a few dollars. If I was a guy like that, I wouldn't get upset everyday. I would just go to work and then go home and watch stupid TV shows with contentment.

Well, I finally got some decent time at my job. I'm full time this week. That's rare. I still want to look for another job. I'll make a decent paycheck this week, but I don't know about next week. They might cut my hours to 30 or even 25. I never know how much money I'm going to make. Whenever I get my tax papers in January, it looks like I make a lot of money. But, then again, I don't get to keep all of it. Taxes, taxes, taxes! Why do we need so many taxes?! There should be JUST ONE tax. One tax should cover property, income, social security, and anything else the government wants to take from me. Sheesh. I'm tired of taxes. I would have lots of spending money w/o these goddamn taxes. I could have more entertainment w/o taxes! The taxes that I pay benefit other people. I get very little benefit from those taxes. I feel like I should be exempt from taxes since I can barely survive w/ my paycheck. My government cares more about Iraq than me. I'm paying for some war contractor's larger-than-life salary while I'm working for peanuts. Why spend money on Iraq in the first place? They don't care about us. Personally, I could care less how many terrorists are over there. They can't do anything to me. I experience enough terrorism w/ my stressful job anyway. American money should be spent in America. Perhaps the politicians would discover that we could actually get out of this economic slump by letting the Iraqis babysit themselves and investing our tax money here at home. Duh.

I feel excited about getting my paycheck two weeks from now, but the excitement will only last a day. I'll have to pay the rent and other stupid bills. Oh well, at least I'll have something to eat this time.
