A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

April 3rd, Sunday... So I'm sitting here, watching Sunday Morning and a segment comes on about the job market and the (perceived) elderly. I'm like, "Oh shit, I'm in the age catagory that they are saying cannot and, possibly, will not be able to find a job ever again (Unless they are hiring in Heaven or Hell!). CRAP! What am I going to do now?
I do have a job; but, I get paid when they feel like paying me. There is no chance of upward mobility. Don't even think about getting a raise and I can't even threaten my boss w/ "If you don't meet my needs, I'll find another job!" What has America come to?
What happened to the good ole days when a man could threaten his present employers? When did Capitalism fall from its fundamental foundation to its now dysfunctional existence?
I have no nest egg. I've been walking on the tight rope w/out a net all my life. I don't even have a wife to which I can argue about money, or the lack thereof! Why am I even living?
When you're young, life is a blast because someone will give you some money. A birthday, a lost tooth, just because... When you get older, life is butt ugly w/ out money! Nobody is gonna give me any money "just because...!"
However, I am in therapy. This blog is providing me w/ the peace of mind needed to drive away my more evil thoughts! So what if I'm broke w/ no future to look forward to? All I do now is become retrospective and remember the fun I had. DAMN! If I only kept that bank account my aunt started for me when I was twelve!!!

August 20th, Wednesday/ In hindsight, I have this theory. It can never be done but what if it were? I thought that it costs so much to do so little these days... What if money was never an option? What if there was no money but everything else stayed the same? There would still be work going on. Houses would be built, clothes would be manufactured. There would still be new cars to get... And none of these things would cost a dime. There would be healthcare, there would be food, there would be all of the things that Americans want and need without needing money to get them.

People would not have to worry about when they would get their next check. No bills to pay...No retirement, no investments, no accounts, no banks, no bad credit, no hounding phone calls, no rent, no leases, no mortgages... There would be nothing that required money to get! You could just go and get whatever you wanted and it would not be a problem. There would be no stress, no worries (mate!) Your wife would not complain, your husband would not want to kill you, your kids would have the best Christmases EVER! What if...?

Sorry, I have to stop here... I have a burial plot to buy because of the headache I have as a result of the stress I feel from thinking like this...
