When I was a kid I use to think that adults had it made. I mean they were able to do anything. From buying the things that they wanted to staying up late. Now that I am 30 years old I find myself asking “When does it get good”? The reality of mortgage, bills and trying to scrape whatever money is possible to save for retirement sure has sucked the fun out of things.
The irony in the whole situation is that some have it good while others sit and suffer. Take this for example. For most of us we get up in the morning do your routine and head off to some job that you hate. Meanwhile you sit at your job thinking to yourself…if i lost my job today I would really be screwed. Then you go home flick on the tube and catch a glimpse at some celebrity making another millions dollars endorsing some crap that they are trying to sell to us the public. WTF is wrong with this picture??? You got it we are all stupid enough to buy into the system. A system that is designed to keep us all down.
I for one am sick of everything and will not be purchasing or partaking in anything that any so called celeb endorses. They are only rich because we the public allow them to be. I mean seriously how do you pay these kids tens of thousands of dollars to be in something like “The Hills” on MTV. Make me sick to my stomach.
If you feel the same way I do please leave 555 as a comment.

Every day millions of people across North America wake up from their alarm clocks, head straight to the washroom and brush their teeth. If you are not one of these people you need to stop reading here because you are disgusting (ok you don’t have to stop reading but you are still disgusting). We head to the kitchen make some coffee and perhaps something to eat, get changed do our hair and jump into the car to start our commutes to work. We sit in traffic ranging from 35 minutes to 1.5 hours just to make it to our jobs where we spend nearly 35% or more of our adult lives.
Once you are in the office we check our emails, make some phone calls, attend a couple of meetings just to start the day. We end up working longer hours because that is what our jobs expect. Every day some company has some new fancy way of streamlining the process. Its the a nice way of saying adding more work on your already full plate and paying you the same amount or money for longer hours. For some reason we all seem to sit around in our offices or cubicles and just nod ok. We do this so we can pay for such things as our houses, cars, kids (if you have any) and hopefully save up some money so we can grow old and play golf. We work ourselves to the bone, lose more than a third of what we make to the government in the form of taxes…… WTF?!?!?! WHERE IS THE JOY IN THAT? There is none!
For those of you who are 25 or older or perhaps you just finished your post secondary education. Get ready to punch the clock for the next 40 years.
