very shitty day at work. did 3 jobs at the same time like usual...'cept we were very busy, which makes doing so quite difficult. i can do it, it just wears me out...and i wonder why i have such a drive to be good that i drive myself down physically and mentally. i think it's because i'm stubborn and can never back away from a challenge. here's a secret to guys and girls...tell me that no one has been able to give you an orgasm orally. so...work was nonstop to the door for 4 hours straight...didn't even have time to take a drink of water.
i also spent all day thinking about the state of the little girl i talked about yesterday. gathered more details that made me quite angry. the child is 3...very quiet and shy...with frightened eyes that know too much. she doesn't smile often enough. anyway, i found out that the mother is getting drunk around her...yesterday she walked down a busy road while her mom was so drunk she could barely walk. the mother also told her to, "shut the fuck up!" when she was talking about her daddy...and telling the child she was stupid. she brought her by the store today, saying the child had nothing to eat...so i gave her as much as i could find. hopefully the mother will have a ride back to alabama tomorrow to take the child to its daddy...but if not, i'm going to find a way to get her home. i don't ethically believe in social services intervention...but i also don't believe in ignoring the situation. our society ignores too many important issues, and wastes time on things like gay marriage. for instance, i pleaded with a woman who's a regular...who sends items to iraqi children in need...but even she wouldn't do anything. we care more about other nations than we care about the destitute and lonely arond us day-to-day. we lack community. we lack a support system for neglected children. the only problem is, i don't know what this child's homelife with daddy is like either. it could be just as bad or worse. we make politically run systems to "take care" or these situations so we don't have to. we make buerocratic laws to gonvern the institions that make things cold, impersonal, and efficent...to the point that children are taken out of homes they shouldn't be, and left in homes they need out of. i've had too many friends with bad experiences of foster care due to social services...i've also had social services knocking on my door. each situation is different, and that's what makes the cure so hard. however, if everyone looked around them, and did something about the things they see everyday...the problem would right itself. problems don't just go away by shipping the homeless elsewhere during the olympics...or buy paying taxes or giving donations to helpful organizations. because there is a food bank down the street doesn't give you the right to ignore a hungry person.
whew, ok...there is my rant of the day.
so...anyone able to drive to alabama tomorrow? or let me drive their car?
i'm going to borrow my bosses' car if i have to.

and i had to stop reading your last post because i am unable to handle hearing about children in not so good situations. i only read up tillthe puppy dog part and saying she wants her daddy and how that woman tryed to make her feel guilty. that poor baby. i wish i could take all these children out of there bad homes and give them all the love, safety and security they need. people like that dont even deserve children. sorry about ranting.. its such a touchy subject for me.
but on a good topic.. i cant wait to meet you on Saturday!
