I went to work tonight at my pizza delivery/cook job. Not a good job for a 47 year old man, but here I am, rock you like a hurricane.
So I'm pissed off because I give up my driving duties to the cook, who is also a 47 year old man, diffrerence being he is marred and has step children. Marred is not a typo.
For the last 2 days I've felt like shit because I was hungover for one and second, I'm still walking down a rocky road wondering where my life is leading.
I feel I've never grown up and I really cant explain why!
So I get home from work after not making any tips and in the mailbox is a 25.00 check from my mommy for snow boots I bought a couple of weeks ago. I see the envelope and I think I'm saved for the night, but it's a fucking check!!!!
I have a gig tonight that doesnt pay jack shit, which is why I wanted off early from work. So I'm home drinking and bolgging this crap because if I drink more than I earn I am going to have to ask this smartass bartender if he will cash a check from my mommy.
I didnt choose poverty, I guess it chose me.
I used my whole paycheck today just to keep a roof over my head.
Some flowers never bloom and some flowers just bloom dead!
I would like to hear stories about other non grownups at least 35 and over.
be well everyone!

If I wasn't so fucking lazy(from kidhood), I'd write a blog about it.
But I think we did grow up while we weren't looking. One of my definitions of growing up is taking care of yourself (mostly) and taking care of others. Think about it. You're always doing shit for other people. The part where you take care of others is where you earn the karma to get the checks from mommy. By pure coincidence, my mother in law emailed us to expect a check in the mail because she had done better than expected in the stock market. (Don't even know how that happens these days.) Well, how nice for us since I've just had two surgeries, the bigger one to fuse my lumbar spine. The insurance is already thinking of exceptions to what they will pay. A few extra bucks would come in handy.
One way to not grow up is not to get a gnarly case of arthritis. Focus on this. You'll thank me for this advice.
Me too!! PFFFFFT!!!!
Stupid poverty!!! ~CRYING IN HIS BEER~
I guess things could always be worse, can't they, Sirenita? Thanks for the encouragement!
Poverty sucks and I'm tired of it, feels like prison without the physical ass raping, Tink.
Poverty choose me too. I would have never picked if given the choice. And I am older than you at 54. And unemployed.
Life is what you make of it dear. Everyday.
Money or not.
Thinking of moving to the country soon, just north of ft. Scott Kansas. Hope you find a job soon!
