Welcome to my BLOG! "Is it me or...." is my space to say what I want, when I want, how I want! This is a biggy or me these days as 99.9% of my time is spent unravelling the knots in the lives of those I love. I don't mind being there for everyone, I just mind the fact that I have a lot to say, lots on my mind and no one ever seems to be around when I have the time to get stuff off my chest.
I'm a very creative person, personally and professionally so expressing myself is like breathing. Only I feel as though I haven't gotten to breathe deeply in a while. SO here it is. It's about Love, Confusion, Daily Madness, 30sumthin growing pains...LIFE IN GENERAL! I'm open...are you? Post don't post. I'm here and glad to be.
Welcome!

FUCK IT!
I am too blessed to be stressed!
Screw you and the horse you rode in on.
Yo Mama!
Go 2 Hell!
(Flip the bird and say) Sit and spin ( Fill in the blank with your expletive or name of choice).
Hmmm...that's about all I have to share this evening. There's a transit strike here in NYC and although I have never had a Union job, I have been in Corporate mess and I must say I believe in what they are fighting for. VIVA LA UNION Y LA REVOLUCION! Fuck the fat cats, they make me sick. These SOBs live in big houses, have never done a day of hard work in their collective lives. They have no idea what these workers have to deal with or go through, especially since the whoel Terrorism thing here in the city. I know too many people in this, people very close to me in fact. I worry for them all the time. The Bureaucrats ...aka FAT CATS...TA Pencil Pushers ( The same one who cooked the books and got caught) They do in fact turn their noses up at the Transit Workers and they feel superior. NEWS FLASH AMERICA, here in NYC the wealthy are pushing the working class out. It's a very real fact and it's ugly as sin. The very people who clean their homes, raise their kids, hell educate their kids and keep this city moving, are the very ones they are pushing out. Working poor is a term that is no longer loosely used here, it applies to the majority. SUCKS huh? Yes it does.
Live and let live. I see it like this, ensuring that one man or woman can continue to feed their families doesn't take any food of of their tables. People say it's just 6%, well add that shit up and then increase it the next time the contract is up...it adds up. Annual increases...what they offered isn't shit! Especially when you look at the declining value of the dollar...HELLO PEOPLE it's macroeconomics 101! Simple assed math.
If the cost of living has gone up, but the salaries haven't WHAT THE FUCK? People don't be so led by the media, it's not run or owned by every day people. Get it. It's all spin, and the real deal is that shit is a mess and it was on this path long before 911, TRUST ME, I was here, I was still donning a suite and briefcase at the time. I had the title, the expense account, and was in fear for my job every day even though on paper it looked like I should have been on easy street. What a joke! The cost of living here is INSANE! Expect for the rich. Working class, middle class...it's all boiling down to working poor. The creating of a vast and rapidly increasing underclass. NYC has become a virtual Oasis for the Haves. And those willing to work up can't get close and those that are barely making it...are barely clinging to hope. Now, the common folk are leaving, heading south. And those of us too stubborn to just leave are stressing out. WOW, until I started typing I didn't realize just how hot I was about this shit. It's crazy like that.
I think I'm going to go exfoliate my face……OH THE VANITY! Hahahahahahaha
