Updates and Info on My Posts
It has been two weeks straight without a single drop of coffee. I can say that I feel much better now that I have gotten over that withdrawal hump. A few headaches and the change in my morning routine was the hard part but now it is over. Nearly nine years ago I went cold turkey from smoking cigarettes and that was not as bad as getting off the coffee. I guess the habit of drinking the coffee and the addiction of the magic chemical in the coffee go hand in hand.
About the post of two days ago; I wrote those words after a lot of thought. Please don't get me wrong and think that I am pro this and anti that. There are a lot of lazy ass, shiftless people in this world. Most of the ones I know are black and latino. I live in a mixed neighborhood so I see a lot of what is going on. Statistics say that caucasians, as an ethnic group, account for most of the welfare in this country. Although I think there are some who don't see it that way, that is just the way it is. The welfare system in this country has really gotten out of hand and pretty much allows people to get aid and live on that aid damn near indefinitely. I can understand needing a little help from time to time but waiting on that check every first of the month is not the way to go.
Some people spend three times as much energy hustling and doing nothing more than if they actually had a job and somewhere to go for eight hours a day. I love working and I could not see myself just hanging around aimlessly doing nothing day in day out. I know a few stay at home moms and they love what they do. They are doing their jobs by making the home a home for their families. Then again I know some women and men who get an SSI or welfare check every single month and do nothing. They don't seem to have any goals, aspirations or desires other than to just exist and try not to spend the entire check before the middle of the month and have a "I gotta get mine attitude." That is just sad to me. Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way. Anyone care to set me straight?
