Don't you dare start this "I now better" crap with me.

I've been working in a factory located at North Ave. and Cicero in Chicago, and it's in the goddamned ghetto.

Notable "ghetto" events:
*Someone chainsawed a doggy door through the side door of a plating business and stole 1 ton of copper.
*Car repair shop across the street was a front where a gang related shooting took place before the new cool Polish people bought it and run a legit shop currently
*A house next to where I work was torched in a gang related incident. There was a 5 year old boy and an 8 year old girl in the house at the time. Nobody was hurt.
*An employee was robbed in the back alley
*An employee was kidnapped at gunpoint in the alley and dumped 30 miles south of work
*I kick whores out of the scrapyard routinely
*I have walked outside hearing a ruckus only to find it's a whores heading bobbing up and down out of the sunroof of a car
*I find heroine needles daily
*I find condom wrappers daily

You people do not seem to quite understand the balls crazy lunacy associated with the ghetto, and then you all wonder where rappers come up with the giant rims and such. The needles and condoms are not restricted to the alley, they're on the front lawns of houses. Where kids live. Parents have to check the lawn for needles before they let the kids outside. Can you imagine that?

If you live in that type of area people generally don't care what is going on around them. A neighbors car hood will get stolen for scrap while the neighbors are getting drunk on the porch, and the neighbors don't care.

If it's not bolted down, it gets stolen. If it's bolted down, it just takes a little longer to get stolen.

I see all of this all the goddamned time while I'm cleaning up needles, condoms, and hennessey bottles and they're all on f**king welfare and they all have tricked out cars. Social justice my ass.

I am a little freaked out by the whole dow jones crap. I heard a horror story on MSNBC detailing how every body in the country wouldn't get a paycheck if the markets fell. YIKES, I might go grand theft auto mad if I don't have money to go to Six Flags. I went a few months ago and the gas prices were so high no one was really at the park. I bought a flash past and went to work!

Tally for the day:

Goliath 14

Batman:6

Mindbender: 3

Georgia Schorcher: 3

Superman: 10

GASM: 2

Ninja: 1 (it sucked, I still feel my head being slammed against the seat on every loop.)

A ton of other rides too!

To be honest, I think we already are. It seems that the adage, "Those whom dont remember history are doomed to repeat it," is happening. I hope we get out of this soon but I dont count on it happening any time soon. I have money in the stock market and I am very nervous about how much is left.
