Politics

I am usually very involved politically its just something i do. Im not this go around probably because we have a year left until the next election. I know who i am voting for i wont vote republican not just because i find pretty much everything wrong with their views but because the candidates they are putting out are nothing short of bat shit crazy. Its almost like they don't want to win. I understand the plight of occupy wall street i have been there i am there i am the 99% and im watching my sons future vanish every hope and dream i have for him fly out the door because of greed and selfishness. Id be out there myself but i still need to feed my son. I didn't start school back up i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up and it almost feels futile at this point. I have no real direction as of late. I'm happy. But im sad i feel like im drowning in a world i no longer recognize a world im not sure i have a desire to be a part of anymore and that's not saying id ever do anything to myself not in that sense am not at all saying i want to die its just not a good time in our history. I wish beyond wishing i could make a difference i want to change things i want to help but im one person with no voice. /Manda

Atleast i still have my job....?

I know everyone is in a tight spot this year, and i assume its not going away anytime soon. i hate to be one of those people who complains but I'm going to be because this is my own personal spot to bitch. I lost hours this week, which means we get to come up 400 short every month. I would love to find a part time job but who is even hiring these days. i know my state hasn't even been hit by the worst of it yet but I'm terribly scared and horrified of what will happen when it does and when it gets worse if i will even have a job or if my husband even will. I'm only 22 we own two cars and a house filled with crap will i loose all that i have been working since i was 15 to get to this point? i don't want to loose everything but if it comes down to it i guess i will along with most other people. My only question is will we get out of this? I love Obama i voted for him i spent months and months on message boards defending the man and i know he cant make everything happen at once but i pray he gives us some hope once in office. I'm ready for change this is going to be a long road and its a big hole we all have to dig out of thank you president bush i would love nothing more then to give you a swift kick in the ass for all the heartack you have caused my family and millions of others. OK I'm done.
