Oh...We're half way there... oh...Livin on a Prayer

So much doom and gloom lately. And I just don't know what to do with myself. You either ignore all the bad things going on or you dwell on them. You can't even see past it whatever you do. How can you be proactive when you don't know what you've been hit with?

A friend of mine lost her job today.

They announced layoffs at my workplace. Donno if I'll be on the chopping block.

I've been through this stuff before but for some reason it always seemed like it was someone else. Not me. But it is my problem now. I'm the adult. My parents went through layoffs and very tough times, but I was never worried. Not like I am now. Not when so much depends on me. Now it's my friend- not my mom's friend- that is being hit with hard times. It's my work- not my Dad's work- that had to downsize because they can't afford staff. It's my bills that have to be paid- not my in-laws. They've all gone through it. Granted they've gone through it when they were a bit older then me, but hey. I guess being a smart kid advanced me to adulthood problems really quick in life. Times aren't what they used to be. You can't be secure in anything you do.

As my friend said on her blog- I'm not dying of cancer or am paralyzed, but dammit I want a break!

Hot Tamale Train BS

On So You Think You Can Dance the one judge says when someone dances really well that they're taking a ride on the hot tamale train. Wonder what that's like. Probably hot and slippery.

Give Peace a Chance

I just read that John Lennon's "Peace" lyrics were just sold for over 800,000 bucks. Wonder what John would think of that. He'd probably laugh. Or be pissed it didn't sell for more. Or would be mad that that money didn't go towards "Giving peace a chance." The world may never know.

Shallow and Deep Thoughts...

Wonder why my guinea pig can sit in his own excrement while my cat has to clean herself the instant someone is done petting her.

Sometimes I think to myself. Sometimes I think out loud. Period.

I wonder if I'm brainwashed. If not, can someone pass the soap?

The plural of moose is moose. The plural of deer is deer. The plural of fish is fish. The plural of antelope is antelope. The plural of elk is elk.

Psycho Path. That's the name of the street I'd like to live on someday.

So. Yeah.
