Catch-11

Catch-11. You're only damned from one side. The other side isn't so bad.

I bought most of my school books today, and I'll go in to pay my tuition tomorrow. Who knew it was so easy to spend so much money on things you don't really want? [insert sarcasm if you will].  Last year I had a scholarship that took care of me, this year, not so much. Now I only have my blood money. As long as I have plasma running through my veins (and my vessels don't collapse) I will have money. A real job would be ideal, but guess who doesn't have one? It's not for lack of trying. I think I'm being punished for something, I'm just not sure what.

The point I'm getting at is: money is super gay. Really it's only those of us with less-than-a-lot of money that think so. Have you ever heard a rich kid say that they hate money? It's hard for me to think of one. The only rich people that say they hate money are those that were betrayed by their ganster backstabbing friend that killed their lover just to get some cash to pay for some drugs, and that's only in movies.

Whoever said "money doesn't buy happiness," was lying to our faces. I think I would be pretty happy if I could buy a few plane tickes to travel this world. I would be happy if I could buy a house on Bear Lake with all the goods (Jet Skis, boat, etc). I'd be happy if I had more than enough money to pay for school and know that I wouldn't have to go into debt for it.

This is not to say that I am not happy, because I truely am. I am estatic about my life and the events that take place in it. I definitely believe that it's the little things in life that stand out the most, but I also believe I would still be just as happy with all the extra goodies. I can't imagine myself feeling unhappy about that. How can you be unhappy in Spain or France or England? I don't think you can.

Here's an idea. How about everything is free? People can decide what is really important to them, in a responsible mindset without getting overwhelmed by the idea, and get it.
If only....

In 20 years I'll feel better about money, and I will party. For right now, I'll still be happy and debt free, and living off of my sisters garden and family dinners.
