A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

December 15th, Thursday... I keep reading where the extremely rich wants to maintain Bush's tax cuts while the economy sinks deeper and deeper into the abyss. CEO's of Fortune 500 companies are getting buyout increases... Bogus mortgages are being issued. Foreclosures are (still) on the rise. The perception of a recession is present while construction of new buildings is also present and I have to ask myself, why does the powers that be in America keep fucking with its people!
Maybe I have the wrong explanation about politics and politicians. Maybe what's happening is supposed to happen. I thought (like an ass) that the system was in place to help the poor and middle class. I (now) see that it (the system) was designed to destroy those entities! I mean, where else can war be looked upon as a business? Capitalism is about statistics... Body counts and dollars and cents. Fuck the people! Procreate so that the species can be replenished so that the numbers will be there when it's time to do the fucking over!
2012 is the year when it has been prophesied that the world would come to an end,,, C'mon 2012!

September 22nd, Thursday...I made a big mistake in my judgement of George W. Bush and his band of merry men when he was in office. I thought they all were a bunch of bumbling idiots!But, after watching Obama and his boys in action, Bush is coming off like a genius!
The economy is so bad, Obama does not seem to have a clue as to how to fix it. Shit, the whole world is fucked! You have to be some kind of good to screw up the global economy! And, he (GWB) timed it just right. He was on his was out and when he left office, he went into a Saddam Hussein exile. Hell, where is he? I saw him at a baseball game...ONCE! He loves baseball! Just one game? What, no speaking engagements? No museum shrine in his honor? George, where are you?
Bush is a tough act to follow for a first time Black president... Any first time Black president!
Damn... Obama's in the right place but the wrong time!

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!!!
