Disappointed and Depressed

Nope, I do not like paying rent. It is like flushing money down the toilet. And, apparently, once you are done flushing for a month, you already need to start flushing for the next. It is a constant flushing away of my hard earned cash, and I do not approve.

The only reason why I am not squatting somewhere in the amazon is because the commute to work would kill me, but don't think I haven't seriously considered it.

Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if rent didn't take up half of my monthly paycheck. HALF! I feel like crying. I work so hard and yet I am broke. Between taxes and rent and health insurance ... I might as well just go on welfare. At least then I wouldn't have to work 50 hours a week so that I can come home -through an hour of traffic- to eat Top Ramen. Refusing to be a productive citizen would allow me to skip the hassle and go straight to the noodles.

My life sucks right now. In fact, I hate California right now. For all its progressiveness, the availability of basic human necessities, like shelter and food, to the average person seem to be at the bottom of the priority list. -Just look at all the morbidly obese synthetic-corn-starch fed and/or homeless people, who are EVERYWHERE - I know that I have had advantages in life: I got to go to a good school and I have a good job. And even so, I find it hard to survive. On top of that, I feel so much pressure to be and do and have more. My head is going to explode. This is simply depressing. The entire country is one huge disappointment.

I will NOT forget to vote this coming election.
