I was in a better mood this morning but have hit rock-bottom again. But I promise, today's rant won't be as offensive as yesterday's.
First the good news...
did anybody catch that Yankee game last night? It was a beautiful thing...
The Bombers received the worst ass-whuppin' in their 101 year history at the hands of the unimpressive Cleveland Indians, who are 7 games behind Minnesota in the Central and 11.5 games out of the wildcard race. Kids, this is a team the Yankees must beat with the Bosox right on their heels.
But behold...22 runs on 22 hits while the mighty pinstripe offense is shut out and producing only 5 hits.

Kudos to Omar Visquel, who went six for seven with 2 doubles, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI's while tying the American League record for hits in a game (6).

The Yanks have allowed their lead in the AL East dwindle from 10.5 games to 3.5 games in just a month.
It couldn't have happened to a better team and for the first time in a long while, Bostonians can see a division title within their desperate grasps.
Here's my downer...
My personal finance situation has reached a crisis point. I have absolutely no money which is something I knew would happen within a year after I returned to school.
But I was given certain assurances that help would be there, because I knew right away that financial aid through the school would not be enough.
Well, I found out today that that help is close to being cut off, so I went to financial aid on campus today to only find out that I am ineligible for any more financial aid, and I do not qualify for a low-interst private loan for reasons that were not made clear despite my multiple requests for clarification.
So I'm forced to goto
(Oh God, give me strength unless you're too busy telling Muslims to kill innocent people).
All this because California has become the worst place to live unless you bring in close to seven digits a year.
All of you fucking millionaires just had to come here and ruin it for the peaceful, local residents who had something close to paradise at a reasonable cost. But because you assholes can afford to spend $1.5 million for a house that costs $150,000 anywhere else and you do, legions of people that have lived here for a lot longer than you are forced to relocate to armpits like Riverside, San Bernardino and in the most dire of situations, Arizona.
My God, why is it that even if something is not broken, some folks feel the need to fix it?
Because people with financial clout feel the constant need to validate their miserable and shallow existences by taking advantage of the middle class; a group of individuals that rich fucks live and feed off of.
Here's my fantasy:
Another American revolution, led by the working class, blue collar warriors where they successfully reduce the controlling, upper 2% to a footnote in history textbooks; and from this war is born a society whose inhabitants are truly equal.
Nobody judges. People are not measured by wealth or power, but by tolerance and yes, indifference.
But it will never happen...
There are too many dumb-fucks, either blinded by the right or de-balled by the left, who feel that just because the USA is the best country to live in, there is no room or need for change.
They are content to live as sheep, herded by a handful of rich, white men whose idea of tolerance is a hot cattle prod up the butt of those who dare to ask if things can be better.
Well things can be better, but will never be. People as a species are just too stupid to want something better. Just keep enjoying the spoon-fed bullshit, you collection of gerbils.
With love and respect,
m.
