Twittering Addiciton
omg! i just discovered twitter and i'm so addicted. and that's something when you consider i don't have a cellphone. I keep bugging my sister to let me use her cell once she is home from work. she could use the house phone. nobody calls the house phone but bill collectors. i'm tweeting online. i blew the whole day sunday tweeting instead of painting the bathroom. everybody is on their,pres. obama,ashton kushton,perez,shaq,snoop, everybody. all i do is read everybody's tweets. you know snoop must be high writing some of his tweets, because he posts some off the wall youtube links.i feel bad that i have nothing to say. i've been so burned out lately. i don't think people realize just how exausting job hunting is,especially when you don't have a car. alot of companies have their offices out in the burbs, but the work site is in the city. atlanta has public transportation in atlanta. if you live in the burbs like me, you are going to have to hoof it. when i moved down here 15 yrs ago, i couldn't believe how people would talk casually about walking 30-45 minutes to the bus stop. i thought they were mad. in chicago you walked to the corner and the bus would pick you up.and that's another thing.i live in clayton county and we only got a bus system 5 years ago.the c-tran will only pick-up and drop-off at the bus stop signposts.normally you pull the line and the bus lets you off at the next corner. not here. you ride until you get to the next "official" bus stop. i shouldn't complain because it's only 3 routes. one goes to the courthouse/jail(they always put the jail in the suburbs, like we want to live next door to criminals anymore than city folk do), one goes to the college and the other to the mall. if you live on the way to one of those places and fortunately i do, you can take the bus. i still have to walk a mile,and i timed it with the car's odometer, to reach the closest stop, but it's better than nothing. i used to pay $20 1way to catch a cab to the airport for work. my mom would pick me up and charge me $50 a week to do so,(i love my mother, but you know she's half loanshark on her daddy's side and half extortionist on her mom's). my whole point is that it's hard looking for a job with no car. my sister went back to work for her old boss. he had some cash flow problems due to his second divorce and third marriage and closed the office. she lost 2 cars to the repo man while trying to find a job. now she makes him pay her in cash up front and works part-time. he was bouncing her paychecks.she's an office manager for his insurance company and she's won awards for selling the most policies in Ga, and She can't find a job either. I'm not going to lie being at home at first was fun. but once the money runs out it's like being locked up.your friends stop calling. they know you don't have money so they don't bother asking you out anymore. and when my car got repoed(i only had 4 more payments until i owned that bitch too) nobody wants to come get me because i live on the southside and they are on the northside.I actually taught my bf how to drive and took her and both of her roommates to get their licenses. didn't nobody say a thing when i was driving 90 minutes back and forth to see them or offer me gas money and gas was $4 a gallon. sometimes they would meet me downtown and we'd go out, but then i'd have to take them back home because the trains and buses would've stopped for the night. now i don't have a ride they can't be bothered because i'm out the way. you really find out whose your true friends are when hardship comes knocking at the door. well, i feel good. i must of needed to vent. i really only wanted to talk about twitter and i got side-tracked big time.lol. here is my profile, i don't really say much, but it's fun reading other people's tweets.here's the address: www.twitter.com/rydangelblessed berydangel 8p check out my music on my zune profile at www.zune.net/rydangel
