Sociable by nature with an eye for the eclectic. I enjoy being around others and am especially attracted to the creative world. Others are drawn to me and admire me. I thrive out in the world and appreciate being surrounded by other people. The only exception to this is when I'm working in the creative realm, finding myself completely engrossed in a project for hours at a time. I am competitive, driven by a desire to outdo others. I am a Leader, I function best when leading others.

The Government
With this government shutdown has come a lot of bad things. The National Parks have closed, now people can't enjoy the fall leaves and the colors in the Blue Ridge Parkway or Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Campers were asked to leave at the Great Smoky Mountain National Parks. It appears Food Stamps have been cut off as well. I got a call today from my boss saying that the cashier on duty right now, Cheryl had called her. April said that Cheryl had called her and said that a girl tried to use her food stamp card at the Food Lion and it didn't work so she came to our store and her food stamp card didn't work at our store either. Apparently the machine wouldn't work at either place. So it appears food stamps have been cut off. I am afraid that I will not get my Veteran's Disability Check in November. I hope I do because that check pays my rent, I can't pay my rent which is $850 with my paycheck because I don't make that much. What the hell has happened to our government. This is fucking ridiculous. Congress and whoever at the white house need to get their heads out of their asses and get shit running again. I don't want to be homeless, I have animals. I could go live with my parents but what would happen to my animals ya know. I hope everything will get straightened out and be okay but I worry about it. We should be worrying about our future. Yes a lot of people rely too much on the government but I guess we kinda need the government. I earned my VA Benefits, I did my time in the Army and served this country. I am not just on VA Disability, I have a job and I work. I pay taxes and pay into Social Security, I pay state taxes. I am a working citizen. Life is becoming hard though. This economy is going downhill and now the government has shut down causing all kinds of problems. This is just crazy. What has the world come to? Some people are saying this is the end of the world, but who knows. Does the government not realize people will resort to Anarchy unless Anarchy has already erupted. I guess all I can do is pray to God that things will be okay and leave it in God's hands.
