we've all been brainwashed to think that getting up and working for a barely livable wage is a gooooooood thing.
It's like what the slaves were probably told as well
"Hey you slaves, getting up and busting your butts in the field is a gooooood thing, it's what god would want, it builds character'.
This line has been written up and told to the labor class for millennia.
I sometimes even think you can see mans nature reflected in how god is portrayed in the bible.
How slavery can be goooooood sometimes, I mean why would a majestic god who can see into the past and future even have the need to comment on slavery in the ancient days or current?
There's slavery and servitude going on in North Africa right now, human trafficing taking place all over, even in the U.S., well does good think that to be gooooooood also?
Please, talk to the hand.

If I were an early settler I'd of been to lazy to settle all of America, I'd of been content just living in a log cabin by a lake or stream and eating fish, that's it.
I'd of just settled in like the Indians and enjoyed the land, and let the King of England or Spain think me and my group fell off the edge of the world.

I've gotta work tomorrow, and the next 2 days after that, very long hours.
Sitting here now I have no idea where I'll muster the energy to do that.
I mean if I had to work today, I'd be half dead doing so.
Work and laboring for a wage just seems cruel after a while.
Sure when younger and full of vitality and energy laboring for a check may seem wonderful (if socially conditioned to think that way).
But as you age, it will stop seeming wonderful as you change, your body changes, and other life issues arise.
Laboring for a check will seem like cruel and unusual punishment one day to you.
Only a sit behind the desk snob, would conclude otherwise.

If I had followed Dave Ramsey's advice, I'd be broke right now
Dave Ramsey is that annoying so called financial guru on the radio who always tells people to pay off their debt...what a putts.
Screw that.
Had I wasted money going backwards, and used my cash to pay off debt that's not even collectable anymore, I would not of had cash in hand to buy used vehicle I needed and or wanted.
there is no moral obligation to pay off debt.
You only have moral obligation to yourself and own well being.

I come home tired now, and in relatively decent shape, how the heck, when I'm older, a senior, am I going to be able to work such a long shift job and have the energy to get through the day?
Getting older is scary in many ways, especially when aren't rich, and or not rich and have to depend on self, cause if one thing goes wrong, then what?
All those useless sermons, when young, about how 'Money isn't everything', it sure the F is when the alternative to it is being a labor slave.

Its like at least with me, when I get off from my long shift, get home, I'm 'asleep' to self, and have to actually 'wake up' to live.
How can I put that in a better way.
When get off work, so spent, so drained, feel detached like a zombie, sure body functions, but like the soul is gone, just gone, and is why myself and others need that 'wake up' period, where your soul comes alive again before you feel 'yourself' again....but then right when you do, it's time for bed and have to 'die' again while at work, meaning your spirit just dies.
And it probably depends on what you do, if you enjoy what you do, and so forth.
For some, it's probably the opposite, meaning if one loves what they do, it's their job/career that makes them feel alive.
I'm not that lucky...and only keep current gig do to the amount of days off in a row.
It all depends on what you do, physical labor vs clerical labor vs management ect.
And or you can start off loving what you do and over time come to hate it, like a marriage.
Just depends.

Just got off, been home now for about an hour.
I'm in that 'dust yourself off from work mode' zone right now, which can sometimes take hours, even a day.
It's why some drink, cause drinking will speed up the process of seperating yourself from that zombie work mode.
It's like you have to decontaminate yourself.
There's something about doing mindless work for 12 or more hours that just dissolves you, dissolves your soul, and spirit....unless you love what you do, I suppose.
But if what you do is just percieved as labor to your mind, it can really dissolve you.
And then you get off from work, but there's nothing there on the inside.
Having a family to come home to probably does help, I'm sure it does.
A loving family can instantly distract you from whatever it was you were doing before walking in that door, hugs, appreciation, family meal.
But when alone, it's different, the bad taste of the previous work shift can stay with you for hours and hours, and even roll into the next day.

When you get off from work you're just tired, your mind is tired, but you're not really 'sleep' type of tired.
Oh well, I'm off for a while, till Wednesday, so I should be happy and thrilled once I get my mind refreshed.

Talk about a blue collar backwood rap/country song
I'm starting to really like this song, it's dumb, but something about it rings true.

Notice people on the radio, in the media, who always tell others to 'get two jobs', if can't pay bills, notice they themselves aren't working in the blue collar industry.
If work in media, where job is simply to tout bs on the radio all the time, then it's easy to tell someone who earns by the hour, at some back breaking job to 'get two jobs'.
Many people's bodies can barely hold up under one job, let alone two jobs.
19 years might can work 2 jobs, but someone over 40, nah, or at least not in the blue collar sector.

Because I'm apart of the labor, working class...right now I'm to tired and wore out to write anything. I do not cry, or feel sorry for those who create their wealth, by trading fake paper, notes, and or by manipulating currency, the markets, the types that don't produce a thing. I don't cry for money trading millionares, cause they certainly don't cry for me, us. wow. Amazing how time flys, and even this section here was created way back in 2013...has anything really changed?? doesn't seem like it. |

I don't even look at my checking account anymore, or rarely. I just pay whatever bills must be paid, and if checks clear, fine, if not, fine. As a working poor type, I just don't worry about my future also, cause no amount of worrying will change the fact that if poor, you're going to have a ugly rough future the minute you can no longer work, and worse so if your single...all that's left is the streets then, as in homelessness, like so many find themselves these days..  |

About to head out into a viscous world.
I envy those who live on large ranches, and who don't ever, or rarely, have to venture out into traffic or crowded public places, cities, ect.
Some people here on Earth are already living in paradise, but the majority of us are navigating hell on Earth.

What a dull dead evening.
I worked today, and it's usually how after work time goes.
I work long hours, so when get home, only have like 2-3 hours of personal time.
But, but, I only do it 3 days a week, then get 4 days off, usually in a row, some times mixed up a bit.
But if didn't get 4 days off a week, there's no way I could work a job like this 4-5 days a week, I'd of quit long ago.
