Memories and the Future Imperfect .....




I have no idea what is going on anymore. I guess I'm just feeling a little lost and confused these days, not really sure which road I should be following as I wait with baited breathe for the phone to ring.
I accepted EI and ran that dry to be part of my toddlers life in his early years.
I attended school to become certified as an Emergency Public Safety Communicator and have yet to crack that field.
After 9 months of no income and all investments, RRSP's and stocks liquidated, I am forced to leave the only home my son has known. My story is common and I am nothing but another statistic in todays repressed ecomonic situation, however there may be hope on the horizon.
Stay tuned for the Revolution that is closer than you think.

OK....I'll shuddup now.

Cheers

The 2nd Great Depression



Are we possibly on the cusp of another Great Depression? It's starting to look like it from my point of view.

After recently losing my income but not the bills associated with my current way of life, it seems that I and many others are on a steady downward spiral. There is no work out there, nothing that will support a family of 4 comfortably. Utilities continue to inflate however minimum wage hovers at $8.75/hr. That would be fine is I was a 17 yr old kid with no major loan or car payments. Minimum wage does not cover a $250 grocery bill for food that barely lasts 2 weeks.

It's a complete joke and I'm missing the humour of it. Time is running out for me. Nothing is working out. What's next .... repossession, eviction, homelessness, starvation. Yeah the future is real bright.

I guess I should have just been the mindless robot the 'brand' wanted me to be.

OK....I'll shuddup now

Cheers
