The Truth of the Matter is...

Well, folks, things have really started to add up here. 'Specially for my parents. I don't know how or why it happenned, but we are flat broke and it's really startin' to ge to me. It's gotten to the point where money is starting to detract from the overal level of happiness experienced in my house, and that simply just cannot happen. It just can't. I guess i just did this out of desperation. Yeah, call it stupid, dumb, or what have you, but it just got to the point where handling it all was gettin' pretty tough and maybe, i don't know how, this thing was part of it.

Stupid, i know.

Anyway, i'll just get through this one way or another. I have to, for my parents, at least. I'm not asking for a pity party or nothin' but i just thought i'd throw that out there. It was tough for me to go bowling tonight. A buck 'fity a game, and i t was tough. Oh, Kimmi, found my quarters, i'll pay ya. My mom felt so bad. I could just see it in her eyes. She really wanted to give me somethin', anything, but she didn't have it. She just didn't. I'm just going to have to get a job. Don't know when the Hell i'm gonna work, but i just gotta'. To pay for all my stuff myself and for some of my sisters and whatever i can.

Well, off i go. Tryin' to save the world again. Here goes nothin'.

'Til i die or you find someone better,
