WHY THO?
"Man, I can't wait to get a car" Hey, be careful what you wish for. Don`t get me wrong, my car is a HUGE blessing. I`m so glad that I`m not walking in the cold or having no other choice but to catch the bus or the train. I mean, of course, public transportation is not as big in St. Louis as it is in Chicago, so I kind of had no choice no matter what. But why y'all ain't tell me how expensive these little four wheel monsters were. I thought all I had to do was look sexy in it, wash it, and have a couple extra dollars to feed it some gas. I was wrong.
My parents and grandparents used to always use this one particular phrase that stuck with me my whole life, "Keep on livin". Whenever I felt like I`d had enough with life or if I fixed my mouth to say what I would never do, they`d hit me with that. Ya`ll, I thought I had enough at 15. Well, I`m here to tell you, 26 is a trip. I think this is the year of enlightenment for me. Or either it`s the year that I started paying more bills. Like, why are there so many damn bills? Can`t we just roll it all up into one sloppy bill, reduce the cost, and pay on it til we die? I mean, we`re gonna end up doing that anyway. How cool would it be if we just payed $700 a month on life? Why are we paying anything anyway? I thought Jesus paid it all on the cross. At least that`s what I tell my bill collectors. I hate bill collectors. They`re like the guy that can`t take a hint. Even when you try to be civil and answer and tell them why you've been ignoring them, they still hang up and call right back. Now, you have to cuss them out and write a blog about it. "I told you I ain't got it you old goat!" That`s what old people call you when they get mad.
So, the other day, I`m talking to my mom and telling her how its time for me to pay my personal property tax on this four wheel monster. She`s like, don`t forget to get your emission and inspection. I`m like, what? Do I have to? How much that cost? Who is emission and inspection and why do I have to go get them? See, that`s that extra stuff that I was talking about. Why don`t they just take that out of the check that I`m giving them every month for the car note? I should of just gotten a hooptie, fixed it up, and put some rims on it and got a bottom grill in my mouth. I feel like you can`t have a tricked out old school without the grill.
Moral of the story is, stay 25 as long as possible, because they coming for your health insurance too and that fee at the Emergency Room is hella steep. I know something BETTER be wrong with me for $100 dollars. I better be turning into a cow or something. You better fix me. It too real out here. You know what I could do with $100 dollars? Pay another bill.
Or I could just say forget it and buy some matching panties and bras. It feels good when you match. But for $40 dollars at Vicky`s Secret, I got to wear that as an outfit.
