the life i live
 

its really depressing around my house this christmas.

my dad is a painting contractor and hasnt picked up any work in what seems like months. my mom busts her ass at work full time and then works a ton of overtime on top of that and we still can't pay the bills. I work a full time job at 18, instead of going to school, so i can help the family out as much as i can. its rough and the paychecks definitely dont come often enough.

we've all basically come to terms with the fact that our christmas this year will be shit. no one has any money to buy gifts so we can cheer each other up. we put up our holiday lights a few days after thanksgiving and still havent turned them on yet because it will raise the electricity bill.

someone cheer me up.

if you've got any extra work you need done for a little bit of cash let me know. my skills are pretty basic, i know a lot of HTML. hit me up on icq - 305386470 - if you've got anything for me or want to try to cheer me up.

sorry for the pity post but i needed to get some of that out. :(

Live, eat, sleep and breath this business for the next year and christmas 2005 you be buying your family whatever you want.

In 4 more years things will be better.

There are 4 words I never forget: It could be worse.

You have your family. You have your health. Times may be tight but you do still have shelter and food. Christmas isn't about buying people little gifts to give them a smile.

You'll figure it out.

Christmas aint shit. Why get depressed about it ?

Amen. :thumbsup

life is a bitch, depending how you treat her

:thumbsup

well said :)
