Annoyed.

I am annoyed.
The government will give handouts to basically anyone who comes up with a sob story about needing money. Examples of this are people who abuse the system by being either too lazy to get off their butts and work, or by people who simply manipulate the system to get freebies. Areas of this are food stamps, social security checks, housing allowances, and more.

What annoys me is this. I work, pay my taxes, and am trying to get a job with the Government. I've been in the process a year now of applying, having medicals done, and going to interviews for a job, and all of a sudden I have to have another medical, in basically the last step before I would be able to find out for sure if I could get the job or not, and I can't afford the crazy high doctor bill that would have to be paid up front in order to have this useless medical done (because I know I am not affected by what this medical is for). So, I am annoyed by the fact that they don't offer any type of assistance to someone who works, pays taxes, and does not receive any type of government help what-so-ever, even though the person is simply trying to get a job working for them.

What a load of crap. I guess that career goal is out the window. It is hard to get anywhere in life these days it seems. Kind of pointless.

Soda...

So, it has been a week since I've had soda pop and that is weird. I must admit, I've not been perfect, I've had a couple glasses of Tea, and yes, one of those glasses of tea was caffeinated... But, it was wayyy too sweet.

I have tried to drink no soda before in the past, but failed miserably, but, since a friend stopped drinking soda about a month or so ago, I was like "dang, I can do that too", so, I guess I kinda just stopped drinking it. I am sure I'll not stop forever, because the cold hard truth is that I like Soda, but, for now, I am not drinking it.

I think it is important to keep yourself healthy. As we get older, and older, and older, I think it is more and more important to remain active and fit. When I grow old, I don't want to be a fat old man sitting in my lazy boy drinking a huge glass of soda and eating a twinkie, I want to be healthy and active, out on the beach or in the ocean, or hiking up a trail, or riding a bike, or doing something active that will keep me healthy.

I don't think we are all doomed to growing feeble and weak, I think that we can proactively fight the progress of aging by being active... yeah.

That is my random blog.

Now, time to get going...

people...

People are crazy, and they sicken me. I like to follow news stories, and in particular criminal cases. Here is the latest story that annoys me. It is a story of a mysterious nature, where obviously a "father" in some way killed his 10 year old foster daughter and was attempting to kill his foster son and himself...

I simply don't understand how anyone can hurt a child. I think people like this should have a slow, suffering, agonizing punishment over and over again for their crimes. They deserve no sympathy.

Here is a link to the CNN story... CNN STORY

People should be careful who they let their children around, people are simply crazy and deceptive.

....

I'm annoyed. I try to do something nice, and it bites me in the butt. Screw being nice.

Employee of the month?

Okay then, so, I somehow got voted to be employee of the month at work for January. That is weird to me... but whatever, lol. Thanks for the votes from my co-workers I suppose.

I got a gift-card out of the deal, so that is nice. Free money is, free money.
