Unemployment - Month 6
I would love to say it's been "ok" but its been FAR from that. The first couple months weren't that bad..., I was able to pay my rent and go on a trip for a couple weeks. Unfortunately during those couple weeks I lost my apartment and when I returned home I had to get as much of my shit out as I could before they changed the locks on me
I have been living with my cousin since then, which isn't that bad. I have a roof over my head, food, electricity, cable, a place to wash my clothes and my ass. To make up for the fact I don't have any money to help with the utilities I baby-sit my cousin (15 months) to help save money on day-care. I summed it up as being a stay at home dad even when I'm not the father and it's not my home.
The worst thing about it is not having my own cash or coins! The little bit I had left I gave to my other cousin who is a struggling student and needed gas to make it to school and work. Not having money, a car, and living in the suburbs has got to be one of the worst things I've experienced in a while. When I had my apartment and was broke I could at least take the metro to the mall and chill out at "Borders" with my laptop and read books or magazines. Here in the 'burbs' there is NO where to go but Walmart, Target, and the Gas station...
At this point all I want is a fucking SODA!!! ....and a HUGE ass Cheeseburger with Bacon on it (from Smash Burger <--- My new favorite burger joint) but really all I need is a .50 can of fucking soda and I would be happy for at least a day or two. But then once again the whole not being able to go and do what I want and when I want is really working me hoard.
I finally get to talk to this amazing girl I met on Myspace 3-4yrs ago and she suggested we go see a movie! FML, Now I got to beg for money and to use the car on a weekend, when I have no means of even paying the money back and the fact it is on the weekend when everyone else is trying to do something..FML Once she figures out how lame my life is at this moment she is going to friend-zone me
