This depressed economy is really making a hard impact.  Everywhere I turn someone is getting laid off, people are losing their homes, companies are going out of business, prices are rising.  But I just have one question...

...and I'm really not trying to be a smart ass, I just really want an explanation.  I'm probably very ignorant when it comes to this topic so that's why I don't know.  Yesterday, the government just gave AIG over $80 Billion to bail them out.  If our country is hundreds of trillions of dollars in debt, where are they getting this money to loan out?

Do they really think that's going to help?  Because loaning out money you don't have just perpetuates the crisis. 

Someone please explain.

For some reason, I couldn't get into perezhilton.com tonight--and I felt so helpless.  How am I supposed to know what's going on in the world?!!?

I'm kinda sad...............

You know how people get older and they move on to a different phase and place in their life...you would expect your dearest and nearest friends to be the ones to understand the most.  I was really confused when those friends didn't understand.  I missed them too and I empathized with their reaction, but in the end...I still didn't understand why they didn't understand. 

Well, after all is said and done, I know who are true and genuine friends.  Those are the ones who I can pick up a conversation with, even when we haven't seen each other in years.  Those are the ones who support me and my decisions in life.  Those are the ones who understand the change during our transitional years.  Those are the ones who still manage to support me in my endeavors, personally and professionally.  I have met a lot of great people in my life, but there is nothing like having those REALLY good friends...all of which I can probably count on two hands. 

I <3 them as much as I miss them...
