ramblings

Posted by Will Young

Well…good news…House isn’t going to prison. Which may mean absolutely nothing to most of you out there and blog land, but it’s a big deal to me. (Yes I realize that Gregory House is a fictional character, but I relate to him greatly and would have been bummed if he went to prison)

Well, I have more good news…the House has voted to increase the minimum wage, now we just have to wait on the senate, and I’m sure it will go through there, and as long as our extremely fiscally greedy president doesn’t veto the bill America’s working poor will finally get a much needed, and deserved break. While I was reading stories on the wage increase I read a quote by republican representative Jeb Hensarling of Texas who said “In America we can either have maximum opportunity or we can have minimum wages. We cannot have both.” So Rep. Hensarling, you mean to tell me in this great country of opportunity we call the United States, we can’t pay our workers higher wages?

How about this Rep. Hensarling, lets start paying YOU $5.15 an hour then talk about maximum opportunities, because at $5.15 an hour there aren’t many. Yeah, lets do that and see what you think about a minimum wage increase then you idiot.

Boy…Texas sure can produce them. (P.S. For all you naysayers out there…I PROUDLY {at the time} voted for George W. Bush in the last election)

I saw freedom writers on Friday night, it was a semi-decent flick. I got to hang out with an old friend who I hadn’t seen in awhile. She’s been living here in Lakeland for quite some time, she works as a nurse at the hospital here in town. It was good to see her again, hopefully since we live in the same town now we can hang out more often.

School started back…woo hoo. Actually all break I was looking forward to it and now that it is here, I am depressed as crap. You see this marks the beginning of my 5th year in college. Honestly I’m over it…the folks I graduated high school with are graduating college now, and here am I waddling along. Yeah yeah…I’ve heard the whole “Well you have a career already,” and all the statements similiar to that one, but they do not make me feel any better. I dunno it’s just getting old all of this.

I’m in one of those moods I get in every now and then.

I realized this week that I’m working to pay my bills, that is all, I never have extra money. I have few friends, I’m letting myself go completely as far as appearance is concerned (If one more person says “Wow, Will you’ve put on some weight,” or statements similiar to that, I’ll probably be blogging from jail from that point forth…as if I don’t notice everymorning when I nearly sufficate while attempting to pull in my stomach to put my pants on that I have put on some weight…thank you for stating the completely obvious fact that I’M GETTING FAT).

Honestly…I’m pretty much tired of life.
