Keep the Receipt

Work has always been Hell but without my best friend Inasia its just been completely unbearable. I literally have no one from the time I clock in to the time I clock out. I mean my other coworkers are cool buts its not the same.

So today...What do I do to fill the void?? I write.... on receipt paper! I'ma cashier, what you expect!? It's nothing great but I just thought I'd share it with you all.

I Chop trees by the water. Timber-lake, No Justin

MY 2010... Thus Far.

I came in to 2010 with hope.

Hope for a new beginning...

Hope for a fresh start...

Hope for Change....

I wanted to erase the problems of 2009.

So how is it that I am not even 2 weeks into the new year and its already 10x worse than last year!?

Since the new year began Ive been searching frantically for money to go to school. Of course I was denied... denied... denied.... and.... denied again. I finally made it to a point with Sallie Mae where I am faxing over documents but with school starting next week... the discouragement level is at an all time high.

In late December I made a rash decision to get back together with my ex. We've been broken up since February. One night... a feeling came over me and I just went with it. Everything was fine at first.. but a few days ago she betrayed my trust. Her lie caused the relationship to end and erased whatever trust I had for her. Even though she betrayed me... I'm going to stay by her side and help her fix her situation but as a FRIEND. You don't turn your back on the people you love....

Then I receive the most devastating news of all; An Earthquake in Haiti! This would be a bad situation no matter where it happened...but Haiti!?! Now i have to add the fact that I have family members who I don't even know are dead or alive to my list of sorrows. I used to go to Haiti every single summer as a child. My Great Aunt was the only FAMILY (Relatives who are there for you) I had on my mothers side. All she wanted was for me to spend time with her. She just wanted to watch me grow because she knew my mother wouldn't be able to. Last time I saw her was about 2 years ago when she came to Long Island. She had me sit on her lap like I was the same 9 year old boy who was with her in Haiti. I knew I was too heavy for her... but she hid the pain with her smile. She gave me $1000 that day but she also gave me something WORTH a lot more...a hug. The last time I saw her in Haiti, she was living in Petionville. Its right outside of Port-Au-Prince and also a part of Haiti which was hit by the Earthquake. However... this lady switched houses like it was nothing. She's strong. She had to survive. I need her to survive..shes the only part of my Mother that I have left.

Amidst all the ignorance, I am so proud to see everyone come together and help provide Haiti with the aid that it needs. From CNN's intense news coverage to twitters trending topics, Haiti is finally getting the attention it deserves. I appreciate all the prayers and all the donations that were made. A lot were lost but a lot will also be saved.

I will leave off with positive news. I found myself a pen pal the other day. I think with all the new technology and internet capabilities we are losing touch with the simple pleasures in life. For example; Opening up a letter. I have something to look forward to now. One day I will open up the mailbox and I will find the smile that I lost in 2009.
