Even though,

I feel a calm.
The wind isn't blowing as hard today,
But the energy in me is going as hard as if it was a storm inside of me.
Frustrated,
I play the prince and the pauper.
Which way will I turn?
Which face will they yearn?
I need to get out of my element.
Out of my zone.
Out of my circle.
It seems things went haywire,
And everything's been compromised.
My attempts at success,
All failures.
Even though, I keep at my goals.
I never gave up,
Don't think I ever will.
I'm strong and I'm ill.
A deadly combination,
Yet my only fall to temptation
is a relation based on life's trials
Through emulation.
I need a wave of relaxation.
This life of mine's the longest journey,
Yet it doesn't travel as fast or as slow at times like I need it.
I see a future based on dreams.
Any of my dreams would be nice.
I need a sedation.
Even though, I sedate myself regularly.
It's never enough.
I need a real high.
A high no drug,
No emotion,
No activity can provide.
I wanna be high on life.
Life should be the only high.

Tomorrow is coming

Today I leave you all with the peace of mind.
Tomorrow is coming,
So today shouldn't have to go less than fine.
Should it go this way,
Tomorrow is coming.
A new day to start,
A new chance to break apart
From the negativity people leave on your shoulders,
The talk behind your only back,
The crud they left under your shoes,
When you stepped out to take your drag.
Tomorrow is coming.
Any issues unresolved will be solved on their own.
Leave the garbage thrown at your face on the floor,
I don't want to keep hearing the blame.
I'm a bad friend,
A bad voice,
A bad try.
I know not what I do,
I thought I was doing by you right.
Those who have left me,
They left for the better.
Only to find out,
The better is what they left behind.
I'm not bigger,
I'm not smaller.
I'm just me.
If you can't handle this,
Or expected more than what you see,
I apologize in advance.
I'm done dealing with the insecurity.
This is me.
I can't wait for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is coming.

Useless?

Why am I unlucky?
Do my choices make me smaller?
I used to feel tall,
Now it's getting smaller and smaller.
I think of myself,
I think of my choices.
I hear those screams in my head,
They sound like me with voice on top of voices.
I can't sit still.
My mind is a wander.
I think I should leave this place,
Let my self get cleared while I ponder.
I don't have money.
I don't even have time.
I think this could be a mistake.
It's my mistake, however, all mine.
They said I was somebody.
That somebody was me.
I forgot what I used to do.
I forgot things that made me happy.
I want to let go.
I want my true being to show.
I don't think its there anymore.
I don't think anyone could care at all.
I care for those who are like me and not.
I feel bad for those driven by greed,
And those driven to stop.
I want to let go of my fears.
Let go of my insecurities.
I don't think its possible.
Maybe it is.
I should hurry.

Surpassing.

Last month.
Last year.
Yesterday.
All gone before my eyes.
I could never find satisfaction in the old.
Seeing new things, gave me joy.
Joy that could never last long enough.
This month.
This year.
Today.
Right here before my eyes.
I want to find and hold to satisfaction in the new.
Seeing old things, will cause me to remember good memories.
Memories that are no longer around, yet vivid in my mind.
Next month.
Next Year.
Tomorrow.
Not yet seen, but I await with these eyes.
If I have found satisfaction, I will be grateful.
Recollecting everything, even thoughts help the move.
Movement I can only endure as well as participate.
I am ready for everyday,
I just need my own heart to follow.

What If I...

What if I were somebody important,
Making big decisions onto big ideas.
What if I had the will to exceed in life,
Better than how I let myself be treated.
I could solve the world's problems.
I could save every dime.
I could save a race of humans,
Within one blink for each eye.
I could be a master of sciences.
I could be a general of militias.
I could be a saxophone player,
I could be head chef in a kitchen.
But I am none of those things,
I won't even try.
I'm just too picky,
And get bored very fast, every time.
I have no motivation,
I've lost the reason to groove.
Someone should push me,
But it's me who won't move.
I've let myself be satisfied with what I have.
The time I'll waste will be gone.
Tomorrow is a new day,
I can't stop singing yesterday's song.
I'm compelled to speak my mind,
Yet I have shut my mouth.
The last time was an outrage they said.
I didn't want to punish the crowd.
I don't know where to move from this feeling.
I'm sure one day I'll find
The reason to be again.
This I know is truth.
Just when will the time, be time.

The Eagle Eye

They seek me from a distance.
So far, yet so close I could almost listen.
Reading mouths,
They talked about so-called funny things.
How some were not privileged,
And suffering was a game,
The taste of acid wouldn't even sting.
Diamond rings, rings of fire.
They want all that a sultan asks for,
In his slumbers and in his desires.
His empire,
So cautious.
To overthrow a tyrant meant risking it all
The thought made them nauseous.
We want our freedom,
We seek the enemy.
They paced by close.
I could spot them,
There's less than 33.
They want my knowledge,
The power I hold they seek.
My power is not what they think it is,
They have over-exaggerated my peak.
I leaked,
Every possible clue to make them think I went left.
I had to stay right.
My mind was in turmoil,
Running was no option,
Fleeing would only cause me to foil.
Every plan I have,
Every blueprint they need,
I have tattooed into my mind,
I've sown my mouth shut,
What can they possibly get out of me?
Being afraid,
Has finally settled down.
I am here today,
No king,
Do you see a crown?
My mind is vast,
I can hear the sound repeating in my head.
Boom, Bam, Blast.
At last.
They have come to rescue me.
The duo of sorts.
A kingdom for me,
Only if I share it, of course.

Time and Change

I have seen the days go back and forth.
Yesterday became forever ago.
Today will become never more.
I wonder why time flies the way it does.
Yesterday I was doing so much.
Today I'm forced to do more than needed.
That struggle compiles on top of one another after the other.
The times change, and so does the mood.
My heart says to stay steady and to keep my ground.
The clock says to hurry it up, before all that time all lost.
I have paced up my work,
I have shortened my desire.
Tomorrow I think I will break free from those chains.
Let them rot in that old fire.
To reignite my life,
I will do more than I could imagine.
I will prepare myself for the worst,
But expect that sort of thing to not happen.
I won't wait for an opportunity,
But instead I will create one.
In doing so,
I will pass on my deeds to others,
I could use some help,
And maybe others might need some.
I don't need to live by the rules,
But I don't need to break so many.
I feel insecure at times,
But today I am ready.
I am ready.

Regrets.

I stand here and there,
Sit there and where.
Thinking why I feel and think the way I do.
Am I alone on these thoughts?
Could anyone out there understand it?
To me, no one could.
To me, why would they want to?
I live in a world of sin,
To achieve a smile, I did the most outrageous things.
I lowered my standards,
Accepted what I needed no acceptance for.
I truly walked alone in a cult full of look-a-likes.
How unique am I now?
Was this my intention?
One minute inside my head,
The next out the door.
No goodbye, no hello.
Left the highs to walk down to the lows, a cello.
I had changed my persona,
I had changed my skins.
I had changed my worries,
To meaningless grins.
I didn't know who I was anymore,
Though, I had an idea.
I gave up the most important things for
A better version of a time I wanted to be living in.
I stood as a copy,
I sat as a photograph.
I replicated every one and thing around me,
To fit in.
The intention to never being seen again.
I was wrong.
I was shamed.
I was even saddened by the sound of my name.
So I picked myself up,
Found a love in me, through a pen.
Couldn't stand looking like those around me,
I shed the skin once and then once more again.
I closed my eyes,
Dreamed of being younger.
No worries anymore.
Nothing on my mind but lunch.
The smell of the summer afternoon,
The taste after the loudest crunch.
The ball passing left and right,
The swish of a net.
Now thinking back,
How could I have thought those evils.
One more thing on my list of regret.

Blood And Sweat

The champion in me says "wait".
The fighter in me says "why?".
These exact same roads have been crossed time and time again.
My soul is searching for purpose, but I have lost part of my sight.
In the circle, there are no friends or enemies; just obstacles.
There are no lost loves, nor is there treason.
I am my own army, I am my own reason.
These iron thoughts have turned my fists into hammers,
My mind into stone.
I awoke today feeling empty, yet full of fuel.
The road to gold, is one walked alone.
My life is as rocky as the pavement,
My emotions run wild like the racing stallions.
No heart has earned more valor,
No eyes have seen this much failure.
My idea of sanity is pain.
Without pain, I am unreal.
One in the same,
A fiend to this game.

Chains and Anchors

The time was setting into my skull.
The date was embedded into my brain.
These days were a lot harder than I had imagined them to be,
And I have weighed in far more than the wait.
Though I am a face worth painting,
I cannot be a face worth for saving.
The ugly truths behind the eyes of a wolf,
The pains of a hunger so angry I cannot feel anything.
I have always been an impatient client of this world's ugly trended business.
There have been many times where scars became permanent,
While other wounds healed.
Some would call the ways of the flow different.
Perhaps this is emotion in motion,
How do you feel?
Still I remain in place,
Thinking of what next to say.
I am speechless for the world took my breathe away.
They took my passions,
They soiled my pride.
They beat me inside,
And the timing was right.
A citizen of need.
A governor of want.
The plague tried to swipe me,
To me it was just another day in the swamp.

A Train of Thought

I sit in my seat dreaming of things.
The way smells and sights used to be more than minute flings.
I sat around placing them all.
Any noise or sight would cause them to fall.
I could hear the waves of laughter in my ears,
But there were no children to be found.
No lives reaching out for a pause,
No questions about it, the drowning of sound.
I still sit there dreaming,
Walking through a fog.
A mist that took away the reality I lived in,
Placing me in a world of wild scenes and songs.
I sang to myself, then along with the wild.
They seemed extra quiet today,
Even with mouths wide open to see them screaming,
They were pleasantly mild.
Yet I still begin to dream again,
Walking to another mystery,
I lost myself today,
No place known in history.
No maps for guidance,
No footprints to follow.
I was lost in my mind.
I was lost in the time.
To stop now was cruel,
But the radio came on,
This was the end of that song,
The end of that day was near,
And I had twelve other places to wallow.
Could this be sorrow?
Perhaps the question will be answered tomorrow.

Broken Promises, Empty Pockets

These days in the recession as they so call it, have been nothing but a blur to most and most certainly crazy for others.

Banks raising interest on credit cards, charging overdraft fees for every single time your check deposited the day after of 30 minutes after closing.
Your cell provider making things more complicated while giving you the runaround wasting your time, money, and patience.

Where do we go when there are no more walls to lean against? No sidewalks or stoops to sit down on? No breathing room for me, or for you?

The problem in today's world is greed and well...a little more greed.
Our country became greedy, causing us to do the same almost as far as material things, and then bad bets lost credibility to our so called glorious system. We in turn lost our own credibility to keep a good reputation with wealth.

No one is fooled by these thieves. But we sank in and fooled ourselves.
Put things off, just like they wanted us to.
They made a bet with our money, lost it, and we are now paying for it.
Then we made the same bets, lost, and cried about it.

Banks all over have had system errors, causing you to waste your cellphone minutes to stay on the line for half hour. What about the only phone you could possibly have, the prepaid?
Then there's the few of us who knew the system well enough to use a land line, but at one time and one time only had to use the pre paid or cell phone to make the call and wasted 30 - 45 minutes just waiting for an answer to a possible overdraft fee or charge incurred for no reason, or bank error.

No matter how you look at this, we are in for a run.
No marathons here. Call it the treadmill that malfunctioned and wont turn off, and its going too fast for you to jump off and get to the plug.......
Exactly..


Savings are down.
Prices are up.
Morale is low.
Depression is high.

What do we do?

We do what we always do.

Devise a plan. Stick to it for a week. Switch it up to keep things shaking, and then find yourself against the pillows on the biggest couch to breathe and relax.

or..

Devise a plan, screw the plan, come up with a million dollar scheme and drain into a bigger hole, or possibly build a mound. How far could you take your efforts?

Point is. Everything's going down, but don't give up.
Fight for your money earned.
Start this new year with a plan that you know IS achievable.
Hook it up.
Run.
Bring your water bottle, too.
This time we ride the road.
Nature's original path.


And that's Real Talk.

Friend or Foe

You can go back and forth in your head about the haters and the fakers and the whoever.
Thinking back to Jay-Z's song "Friend or Foe" you really begin to see the clear view. We all go through the same things.

People come and go.
People pretend.
Some don't wont show.

Some who you never thought were even your friends, are closer than those you honestly thought were.


A quote from a reader...

"the goal in life shouldn't be to try and have as many friends as possible..

it should be finding good ppl..

ppl who wont f*ck u over..

ppl who will go out and beyond of their way for you."

People this is as true as the sky is the color it seems to be to you.
Remember each person who hurts you. You don't have to get them back, that'll happen regardless whether your there or not so be sure you don't get it back again just for being there, let it sort itself out.

The point is to know who will be there for the long run, not for the time being.
Those who might seem to wanna help you but only want to help themselves.

Be in mind, some don;t know right or wrong as far as what you see it, doesn't mean you have to compromise your morals. Be yourself. Follow your heart. Leave the excess baggage behind, no matter how much you wanted to bring it along. It just wasn't meant to be. Everything that is... will be. Promise.

And that's Real Talk.

The world spinning out of focus

Today we remember the days when things used to be simple.
Things were easier to maintain.
Life was fast, but not to the point where we forgot where the time went.
These days are short, but worth every second of every minute of every hour.

I beg you all to take a look at the years prior through photos, notes, crafts, or anything you have.
See where you've been.
What did you do different?
Who or What was the main focus?
What have you accomplished compared to this year?
Do you feel the same?
What are your plans for next year?

Finding Your Calling

We all work the same jobs, doing the same things on a daily.
What about those dreams we used to have about trying new things?
Moneys a little low so the spending on newer education is something you like to put on the back burner for the time being.
Not everything costs an entire degree.
Night schools allow you to have the same access to some of the same jobs that require degrees.
For instance, a technical certification.
You are certified to do the same job, if not better because of the intense training for only that field and not so much rounded on other ones that have nothing to do with your program.

How about Do-It-Yourself?
Did you know a good portion of people these days learn tricks of the trade through online courses?
What about articles that caught your interest?
No one says you need a degree, but it does open many more doors than not having one.
Some fields can't be taught.
Art, creativity, etc.
No matter the topic, there are basic grounds for everything unless you made it up last night.
Even being a photographer or painter, there are certain rules that will better you later on for all your rebellious ways about going around the system.

Believe me, the system is a pain but it is worth to know the basics.
Fundamentals will carry you much further than just humping on the boat and going full speed.

It's never too late to carry out your dreams.
If you want to be a rock star, get rid of the stage fright.
If you need music, but you have the lyrics... find a good band who needs direction.
Everything and anything is possible. Well flying cars aren't here yet, but they will be.

Some things you might have given up on, but it's never too late to get started.
No matter the age; young or old, there is still time to move onto something else.
The mind is too big despite it's size.
We only use a small percentage of its capacity.
If you want to learn how to juggle fire, now would be the time to start learning to juggle some tennis balls and slowly moving onto tennis balls on fire. Just hopefully not too soon, anything can happen with fire.

So do what you have to do, time is on the go and never stops for anyone.

Be everything you wished for, and start managing your way to become successful at it.

Time is borrowed and we never know what can happen so get on the move.

You don't have to be stuck anywhere. All you need is the motivation and spirit to get you moving.

Doing is a lot harder than talking about it.
Who says you have to leap?
Today focus on just finding out about the steps you can take to go somewhere else in your career path or mindset.
All it takes is a few words to get you hooked, and a few moves to get you out there.

The mind is the most powerful tool.
You can do anything.

And that's Real Talk.

The beginning

Since way back when you think back to when things were 10000 times easier.
What happened?
You either grew up or there's something in the milk....or both.

There's not doubt that the people of today versus the people of yesterday are a lot more exhausted than necessary.
This is due to increase in stress, money issues, stuff in our foods (there's a reason why the dollar menu exists), and certainly the issue of the insecure world where everything depends on the MTV or magazines.

Naturally, back then none of this existed so you depended on yourself and your remedies to take you through any BS you can come up with.

Today's society is based on the outside appearance. Not everyone, just mostly everyone.
Yet, we're still tired. Everyone's trying to make something out of themselves, or are just doing whatever to pass the time.

People are a lot more secretive, too.
Even with facebook, twitter, etc.
Everyone wants everyone to know their business, but yet none of it all at the same time.

Shame is at an all time low, yet you would think that would be a good thing.
It's neither here nor there.

Being tired is basically the biggest problem today.
How can you spend money on the economy when you're spending it on everything else?
How can you save when you're spending too much?
How can you think when everything else is on your mind?

Unfortunately, you can't fix things over night.
You can't become a great athlete just because you put on your sneakers finally.

Everything is hard work.
Saving money is hard work.
Feeding and clothing your children is hard work.
Getting through your day at times is hard work.
Stress is a negative component to your daily move.
Stress is easily piled up if you think too much, when its not creative thinking.

They say you are your worst enemy.
It's true.
No matter how many fights you get into, break-ups you endure, or even quick gains or losses you watch happen before your very eyes; at the end of the day, you still gotta see tomorrow and deal with your personality and hidden negatives.

Money is a huge factor to all stress.
Money can make or break a man's thought process.
Money can cause you to sit out of things you didn't want to.
Habits are also controlled by money.

Point is, if you're tired its probably because you're depressed from money, life, kids, significant other, etc.

Money is still the center of all evil, but it will make sure you can get by until tomorrow and thereafter.
The man wants his doe too so don;t forget that part.
Every little you get, the man wants his cut.
Don't like it?
Stay broke.
What else could you do with your day without money?
Could you eat without any surplus in your fridge?
Could you go out to the store when it's more than 5 miles away and your legs aren't so hot?
Could you call someone, when your cellphone bill's 175 overdue?
Could you play scrabble? Did you forget you threw that out when you did spring cleaning?

All in all, you got to start making changes.
Eat less Mickie D's, eat more deli cuts and fruits and veggies.
(Reminder: Fruits and veggies contain a lot of water...you will stop feeling so hungry after a few carrots or grapes..if not..drink some more water)
Save up your money. All those trips to the gas station, convenience store for cigarettes, and dollar menu's add up.

When was the last time you took a look at your budget?
Not so healthy.
Almost like the way you feel, except your wallet is starting to want to sleep too.


And that's Real Talk.

Eyes on the Prize

For being such a ice breaker between working on Monday and the relaxation you endured on Saturday, today out of all days is the day to finish what you started whirl still having time or the delivery of Chinese and kicking the feet up to a good movie.
So much possible on a Sunday. Not once have I ever heard of a really bad Sunday. Sundays are meant for heavy sleep, deep relaxation, or just spend time with yourself and/or loved ones.
Don't get too crazy on a Sunday. Monday is definitely coming with a bang.
This week we can be sure to reflect on our past where we were a year ago and how we stood compared to how we stand this year.
I feel as if many among this world have been dealing with their problems harder and harder while there are still others too young or too old to be bothered. Makes you wish you were young again, not sure if I'd like to speed up the aging process.

There is still so much to do in this life of ours. Goals have yet to be met.
Today, however, is still the day to relax and take it upon yourself to just relax. Have a drink, some food, and some TV or magazine/newspaper.

The world never stops, doesn't mean you can't stop to smell some roses and just kick the sneakers off.

And that's Real Talk.

Cycling

We sit around thinking about what's going to happen to us next.

Some of us have so much going on we wonder if it'll ever end.
But this is that cycle we know or have heard about.
Life is a continuous cycle. It starts and stops, but never shuts down.

Some days we wish were over, some we wish would never end.
We ride the roads until they stop, but then we turn to a new direction.
Roads end, paths are endless.

A road is defined by the concrete visible to the eye. Beyond it are "no trespassing" signs and such.
Some will cross those lines, others will respect them.
Breaking rules require a lot from each of us, usually never recommended but sometimes we just have to. And the end result to most of these things are beautiful. Some tragic.
The cycle keeps going, however. The cycle brings us back and forth from place to place.
Call it karma. Call it whatever.

We keep going and going and where do we actually end up? Usually where we started.
Life is tricky, but you eventually learn the ropes and remind yourself or learn how to handle the exact same situations after they come to you over and over.

Some stay in front of the mirror wondering what's wrong with them. Others refuse to accept the things they do that are wrong.

Regardless of anything in this life, we learn, we live, and we love and lose.
This life of ours is not about winning. If it were, it'd be boring.
All of our sorrows, pains, and regrets turn into powerful things in the future.
Think about every thing that makes you angry, you eventually one day will turn to someone else and express the same emotion for them to feel the same way towards you as you did earlier for someone else. The cycle.

Sacrifices are usually a huge part of things. You want something bad enough you will do anything to get it. For others, we have to give those up because of how it'll affect us later with the emotions of another.

You forget about cheating, or you just cheat anyways.
You forget about lying to someone, or you lie anyways and somehow get lied to.

Sometimes you notice that when you do the right thing, the wrong thing happens to you.

My suggestion to this, is to wait. Wait until you see the final end result of the situation. It's not over. You'll know when its over.

For those who think they never get their opinion voiced, why do you care so much. There are plenty of other people who are asking you personally. If they take all the credit, at least you know THEY know who deserves it.

A humble person doesn't need to know who gets the credit. The humble person accepts life as it is and in return is satisfied with letting another day be made of its use. In the end it's not about the credit.
When was the last time you sat around and gave thanks to George Washington Carver for making peanut butter? Possible but doubtful.
Be humble. Don;t worry so much about other people's opinions. Don't let your own opinion be mixed up with another's view. A good heart, will remain a good heart. A bad heart or one on the verge, will remain black until a light reveals its true identity. And that in the end is on that person. No one else. A little bit of love and care from family and friends never hurts either. But we all know it's never enough on the inside.

So let everything go. Live life. Forget the nay-sayers.

You have nothing to regret. For those who have been cheated from things that meant the world to them, be patient.

Like a wise person once said, "the truth always comes out."

And that's Real Talk.

Weak and Depleted

The air is getting thinner.
The sun is getting brighter.
The cold is getting chillier.
The strong and the weak are becoming best friends this time around the year.

With everyone going crazy getting presents, arranging Thanksgiving dinners and such it becomes hard to take care of the most important thing you own out of all your accessories in your bedroom. You.
Increases in cold and flu are dramatically rising. Soap, anti-bacterial just won't cut it.
Notice how every time you sneeze or cough you might take your closest thing to cleansing and get clean. Is this enough? Not at all. The germs prior to wiping yourself down are still active.
As crazy as commercials are, they are sometimes not too far off.
If you have Lysol spray or anything in the house, after you've come home from work or a long day sneezing and driving, take that can and spray it around. The cold will kill whatever it can, but not everything. Taking 99.9% from a can and combining with the cold science could just be your ticket.

They say take your Lysol can and spray it in front of you as you walk into it. Could this be true? Sure. You breathing in toxins might make sure you never have a cold ever again though. Ever.

Let's not get too crazy. Simple steps could lead to your health getting better easier and faster.
Take your Vitamin C's and D's. Sun won't be out everyday this week.
If you're very sick, exercising is not for you. They say you can sweat out a sickness, and I agree. But your body suffering more damage will not help at all. Sleep it off. Every morning, open your bedroom window for 5 minutes to re freshen the air in your room. Spray some Lysol before you leave.

This all might sound like extra work, it's not. I just have a tendency to drag things out and make them seem far worse.

Your health is the most important thing.
You remember that one Holiday where everyone was laughing and having a good time, while you had that awful ear infection with a bad cough. Realize no one is around this ear to put your big head on their small laps. Even if you have a small head, come on.

Alcohol.
Tasty, fun, and also kills bacteria!
Sounds crazy, but definitely cool.
Those of you who enjoy that big glass of beer or wine. Those who enjoy those hard shots.
This might be your ticket as well.
Whoever would have thought your weekend habits might pay off for you now.
Let's aim for you to not be that person this year.

If you're not into heavy drinking or even hot hard to the throat shots. Try it this time.
More alcohol in a drink, the better.
I'm not saying get drunk, but we all know once we start we can;t REALLY stop. Well, I can't at least.
So get a little tipsy, and be sure to keep warm.

In fact, everyone reading this should keep your chest as warm as possible.
Some signs of being sick is getting too hot in a coat that normally doesn't make you sweat.
Whatever you do, your body is not as hot as you may think it is.
KEEP WARM!
Your parents have told you over and over again as a child to keep that scarf on, keep those socks on, whatever. Do it. Don't think you can battle the winter of winters alone Beast Master.
Even with a wizard on your side, you will not win this one. Fantasy land won't keep you from making a trip to your local Dr.'s office.

Let's play it safe and keep ourselves on a much higher level of thinking.
We can't think clearly when snot is running down our nose every 3 seconds when you just wiped it off 2 seconds ago. Think about it. Who REALLY pays for this one?


And that's Real Talk.

The man wants his relief..

When will mine come?

Today Americans and many across the globe are being stuck into bigger debt than ever before.
We don't realize the consequences of our debts when the payments become nothing but fragments to a much bigger pot.

The interest rates are what kill us and adding to the pot when we pay things off is all the wrong.

However,
The companies making their profits in the sense aren't really the bad guys. We as people like to spend what we don't have naturally. Pay it off later as we say. Later is here and the payments are not going to be enough.

So what do we do in times of desperation especially with the holidays coming up and the job losses increasing?
If you ever thought about working for the government, you might have to if you didn't before.
Naturally those who have the BEST bonuses for working is a government owned operation.
Any benefits anywhere else never compare. Why is this? Think about it.
Our so called freedoms are limited. Everyday we cause ourselves to lose more and more of them by complaints or over-exaggerations in situations. This is probably why no one will hire anyone in anywhere for any reason. We don't want to lose money we don't have. Workforces don't either.

The lawsuits pile up from dirty crimes, which leaves less openings for those with bigger mouths in a sense.

Many have lost homes.
Many have lost lives.
Many have lost the will.

It's time to start spending correctly. Stop giving back so much to those who don't need it.
I don't mean stop paying for food for you and your friends.
Just don't always be the only one.
Don't be so hard with your money that you can;t treat when others are treating.
Money isn't everything. (At least until your out of your hole)

Moral of the story is,
Our lives are becoming consumed with irrelevance. Things we don't need to have.
Money is being thrown away and we barely see it just because we rely on impressions from others who in the long run won't really ever be there again.
But that isn't 100% truth. Some people will stick around for more goodies ;).

So start revving up your checking accounts with your savings.
Stop using the credit card unless you know you can pay the entire balance off within 2 weeks.
Think about the money you'll save on not relying on the charge.
It's killing everyone's pockets.
The ones who have your money, lost it in Vegas.

And that's Real Talk.
