Girl I was seeing was secretly married.
Got accused of decapitating a stuffed bunny and lost my job at work (Only to later find out through much detective work it was committed by a disgruntled cashier.)
Friend screwing me over on rent.
New job surrounded by vapid assholes that talk of nothing but reality television programs for their entire goddamned shifts.
The old year.
The new year.

accidentally shipping something to the wrong location.
I shipped a drum machine to my dorm and not my house, and I'm on break until the 20th.
*sigh* just kinda want to... blow up the ocean.

That sucks, I did something kind of like that once but I sent it to my neighbors house, luckily it worked out.

Some fuckface decided it would be a good idea to light up in a mosh pit last night and burnt a hole in my shirt with his lighter.

[mono]

Did you kill him?

[emacs]

Yes, his body is in my trunk waiting to be buried.

But seriously he got kicked out by security and my shirt only cost ~$7 so whatever.

Payin' thirty grand in money you don't have for a four year degree from a public university only to possibly maybe get an unpaid internship(s) someday that'll last the next ten years of your life, all because prevailing dogma says it'll open doors for you!

Fuck this, I'm just going to stay a clerk.

一分耕耘，一分收穫

WIKIPEDIA TRANSLATION!: For each part sown, one part is reaped.

True, but the one working isn't always the one reaping. I'll just leave it at that.  

[Blademasterbobo]

Some say risk nothing, try only for the sure thing,
Others say nothing gambled nothing gained,
Go all out for your dream.
Life can be lived either way, but for me,
I'd rather try and fail, than never try at all, you see.

Some say "Don't ever fall in love,
Play the game of life wide open,
Burn your candle at both ends."
But I say "No! It's better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all, my friend."

When many moons have gone by,
And you are alone with your dreams of yesteryear,
All your memories will bring you cheer.
You'll be satisfied, succeed or fail, win or lose,
Knowing the right path you did choose.

-P. Diddy

Living the yeoman life in modern oligarchical capitalist society which places emphasis on dehumanizing short term efficiency is near impossible, lest you start your own business.

[Smithy]

And that sucks.

They say you gotta start a business. (Or marry into owning a business. That's how my store owner got his start. Married the daughter of a successful grocery chain owner, and was gifted his own independent store. Seems like the way to go!)

They say the owners take all the risk, these owners. Isn't that something? What risk? Sure, the folks that started the thing took a financial investment (with is usually old family money they inherited.) But long do they get to keep milking that justification? Permanently? That makes no sense. If the place fails, I lose, he keeps a horde of cash. Hate the guy. Hate him and his leave it to beaver haircut and his conservative sensibilities and the christian rock he has playing over the speakers at all times. I sow, he reaps. They pay you just enough to keep you indentured. I work a machine that isn't meant for humans. A juice machine. The fruit goes in a slot at the top. If you're tall enough to reach this slot, you are too tall to reach the nozzle without stooping. There's something symbolic about that. My posture is bad now, and my spine feels it's made of toothpicks. But rich folks need their fresh squeezed orange juice, and I have to smile at them. People still say hard work leads to success. I don't know how that happens. It's horse shit, and the further down you go, the harder people are working, and the more transparent it is to see that it's horse shit. Try tellin a kid in a sweat shop makin shoes that he'll be the ceo of nike if he just keeps making quota. See how well it goes over. That's the world. It's all bullshit and it's all bad for you.

H'yuck

Bourgeoisie shmoureoisie. Stick it to them.

You can't plan to work for someone else your whole life, right? The laborer and the serviceman are fucked in a nation where we leave it to a few misers to decide the fate of thousands of people's livelihoods. The only out is to be someone who is paid well to perform a skilled craft, where supply and demand apply. Even then you're under the thumb of a fat cat. At least then you have enough knowledge to maybe enter the industry as a freelancer or climb the ranks to management-artisan where you live with the guilt of being the head of an abusive technocracy.

The only out is moar educations and high paying skilled jobs for you to be secure enough to fund your own venture.
