Why I'm writing

I started this blog because I realized I don't have the drive to write a book. I have become disillusioned with life recently and I feel that writing will help out a bit. I have finally started to realize how bad the world sucks. I have started to realize how much I really have and how little some people have.

I was always taught that you go to school, then you get a job and you make money. I went to school and can't find a job to make good money. I still work at Radioshack like I have been since I started college. I make $6.55 and hour plus shitty commission. The company sucks to work for, but it is still probably the best retail company to work for. I get paid that shitty wage to merchandise, clean, planogram, sell, cashier and other menial tasks. You take any one of those positions and they make atleast 2 more dollars an hour than I do.

I started to read and read and read about the world around me and that has helped along what I am feeling now. I see how futile it is to even attempt to "buck the system" because the world we live in is the system and it works barely. The politicians we see on TV aren't for us, but for companies who pay them to vote their way. This is even accepted by the politicians as a problem. They say they want to fix it and do away with lobbyist, but why would you want to take money from yourself? The food we eat from the store is pumped with various types of chemicals for various purposes. The animals we eat are cancerous and pumped with hormones. There are so many more things wrong with the world it is just mindboggling. It is sad to think the only two options you have are to rack your mind contemplating the worlds problems or to ignore them.

This blog will be or me to write about a topic every once in a while whenever I get pissed off about something. These could be politics, industry, jobs or life.

The main thing everyone needs to keep in their minds is that they may have it bad, but somewhere someone has it worse than you, no matter what.
