So I decided to start a blog. Here's to hoping I can keep it going...
As of recently I have moved into a new place with my amazing boyfriend, Drew. We are still working on getting things unpacked. The downstairs is probably 95% complete, we finished the bathroom, so we just have the bedrooms left. We have three rooms so we will have our bedroom, a spare/computer/storage room, and then a room for piercing(suspension) stuff.
I am actually looking forward to school to start. By that time we will have settled in and such and I will be needing something to do during the day and days that I don't have to work. Speaking of work I have been thinking of looking for another job. I have been at CDC for about 6 months and I still do not have a permanent position. I decided to give them until about September or so..and if I am still temporary then I will look for another agency to work at.
So another reason I wanted to start a blog is so that I am not bombarding my Facebook with all my ranting and raving and opinions and such. For example:
The House passed a bill that would provide $59 billion for a military emergency fund, $33 billion of that going to a troop surge in Afghanistan and even a portion of that goes to a Haiti relief fund. Now don't get me wrong, it is good that we are helping countries in need. But it seems that our government is forgetting that WE are in need as well.
- It has been a struggle for Obama to keep unemployment benefits going, and even still a lot of people will not see those benefits until next month or even September (keep in mind some people have not been receiving their benefits since early June).
- Social security has taken a huge cut. Those on social security did NOT receive their cost of living raise like they have been every year prior. Other aspects of SS are still getting hit.
- Schools are being shut down left and right, and in addition schools that are still open can't keep teachers employed or give them a proper salary.
- Everyone middle-class and below are struggling more and more every day just to make it by. More people are becoming homeless, jobless, and hopeless.
It's just getting completely ridiculous, and there seems to be no end in sight.
But, on a good note, I came across a site called Kick Ass Torrents today. I think I've stumbled upon it before a long time ago when I was first trying to figure out the whole torrent thing, but anyways I signed up and right now I am in the process of downloading the third season of American Dad. *such a good show!*
Well, that is all I feel like typing for my first entry. Until next time<3
