Turn on the Game, Baby. Let's Get Drunk!
Fuck, man.
This has been the year of eeking by.
I owe money to family and friends. And creditors.
But today I had to go further into the red again.
Little speeding ticket I put off paying — you know, because I need to have a place to sleep and food to eat. I'm kind of a diva that way…
I mean, it's not as bad as all that, but it has been really tough for me personally this year. I've had to sell possesions to make rent a few times. It has been really humbling. Lots of other problems mean nothing when it's not clear if rent will be there or not.
And I'm not stupid. I get that this is all fallout from decisions made and actions taken or not taken. Opportunities squandered.
And I'm trying really, really hard to be a hell of a lot more grateful for what I have. I'm serious.
But fuck. I didn't even do anything visibly wrong and a nice officer ran my plates to find the owner, me, had a suspended license.
So he pulled me over and towed my car. Like he's supposed to. I know. I shouldn't have been driving. I knew my license was suspended. But I thought if I was a good boy and obeyed all traffic laws up to and including every posted speed limit… Yeah. *Nope.* They have really fucking sophisticated PC terminals now. If I had one of those there would be no end to the mobile porn I would be viewing. So it's nothing to run a plate or a license. I saw it with my own eyes.
Today I scambled. Had to get money and a pair of people to get me to the police station so I could prove ownership and insurance, then over to the towing company. Because any day I delayed was an extra $25 on the tab. I had a two hour window today in which to extricate my beloved Deville.
So I'm finding two things. Despite the fact that it was actually a cheap used car… no financial sympathy for Cadillac owners. And? What kind of person drives a Gold Cadillac? Apparently, It's not your Elvis' Cadillac anymore. ;)
I just wanted to rant.
So I have my car safely in the drive and I'm not doing anything else today. Fuck it.
I'm drinking my Newcastles while my baby watches the game.

Aw damn Soulless...
nah, they just pulled you over because you're flashy and sexy... don't let "technicalities" get in the way, dollface.
*kiss*
Thanks for your sympathy, my dear!
Tell the cop that if he was HALF as "wanted" as you are, he'd be in jail. LOL It does suck massively that you got fined babe. But as my grandmother used to say, "it'll all come out in the wash." So just hang in there, '07 has to be better right?
