Dark Places

There is nothing like the DMV to suck out the life force of an individual. Iowa's were am unfortunate experience. California's are like a dank hole in which you are lucky to escape. Ok, they are not that bad. What they are is an amazing representation of bureacracy, and a nice little gouge from good  ol' government. Today was yet another experience that lead me to think about the cost of everything around us.

The RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

 

Yesterday I was asked a question during an interview. The question was essentially "how do you overcome adversity". My answer was pretty straightforward, and it is simple. I have learned from my parents, my brothers, and many other people around me that solving problems is a matter of work. I think I used to expect things to solve themselves. Now, I realize that it is important to be active, think, and go get what you need to get in order to keep things moving forward. 

It is easy to get frustrated at a place like the DMV. Nothing is too big of a set back to recover from. Keeping and calm and having some patience can take you a long way towards solving any issue. As crazy as Jimmy McMillan may be he does have one quality that is important. He recognizes that the RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH and he's gonna work to provide for his party.
