I’m not sure if I am the only one but here lately I been bouncing around trying to figure out what I want to do for an income. See when the pandemic hit, I choose to resign from Federal Express. I chose resigning basically out of fear of bringing home the virus and since I am my elderly mother caregiver, we didn’t need that. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great job and many options for a good careers, from labor to leadership. I am 52 of age now and have had some kind of labor job since I was 16 of age. However, with many things life throw at you, that all stopped by the year of 2004. That’s when my life changed. The job I had was cutting back and I was one of cuts. It ok, because it made me go back and get my High School diploma. I even tried going into Truck driving school until my car broke down. My 1994 Saturn SL1 was paid for and broke down soon after the last payment. Mama and myself even tried having our own business just to never get off the ground. It was soon after that, I was homeless and Bankrupted. We lost everything. We put all that we had into a storage unit and I been living in a box ever since. Had to give up my dog and Mama was diagnosed with C.O.P.D. (that’s lung disease from years of smoking.) Since then she added few more living conditions and I been her caregiver ever since. It’s hard because many people see Mom as a person who don’t need any help, but what they don’t see is the emotional, mental and physical health that happens when getting old. I thank God every day that I still have my 80 year Mama. I even went to a couple of semester of community college at Ivy Tech. I failed there, grades sucked but at least I tried. It’s not easy trying to reeducate when you closes to 50 but at least Mama is not bed ridding and able to move around the house some. I do most of all her banking, grocery, cook, cleaning and take out the trash, which that’s always my job anyway, but his causes another issue.
Since we living in Section 8, they want to know why I am here and to charge my ass ,they be trying this for a long time. For those who don’t know, Section 8 is government assistance and believe me, it’s ok for them to rob and steal form your ass but the minute they think you getting a penny more, they want to know everything to why you getting it. It’s not the lack of trying to find work. I find few jobs here and there but they don’t last long. TEMP JOBS IS WHAT THEY SAY, IT IS TEMPORARY. These nickels and dimes jobs ain’t good for anything. Many good jobs that I have applied for always email me, “Sorry, you not WTF we are looking for”, in other words, “We don’t think that your old ass is a good ass kisser.” …… Sorry folks, I went there.
Anyway, I am not going let that stop me. In fact, I am currently taken an online course learning about video games designs. I’m not sure how or anything about that. I have also been learning about 3D modeling. I like writing, sort of, and that’s why I have this here. I thought maybe get a WordPress page going, I can practice writing. Here, there no limits. I do have few social media accounts, so those are ok. I mean over all, it’s not been to bad. I stopped cold turkey smoking cigarettes about 3 years ago. I been clean for weed and rock coke about 30+ years, so that ok. I struggle with alcohol addiction but it getting better, not drinking as much. So not bad for a 52 year man.
