Emotional Weather Report

late night and early morning low clouds
with a chance of fog

when the thunder storms start
increasing over the southeast
and south central portions
of my apartment, I get upset

with tornado watches issued shortly
before noon Sunday, for the areas
including, the western region
of my mental health
and the northern portions of my
ability to deal rationally with my
disconcerted precarious emotional situation

it's cold out there
colder than a ticket taker's smile
at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night

The new job is going well.  Before too long I will have money put aside.  I will have  a car...  I have almost forgotten what that was like.  It was fun to live a care free life, gas station attendant and all that, not worrying what happens financially.  Fun, but over done.  Time to get back on track I think.

Some grim news.  No financial aid is available to me.  It seems that my mother makes too much money.  I still plan on going this fall;  I just have to start saving my pennies (hoping against hope that I don't have to take out a loan.)

Just a side note:
It is a difficult and dangerous thing to place expectations on someone else.  Often people presume too much, having the nerve to be insulted when those expectations are not met.  It's called communication, try it. (a little unorthodox, I know)  WAKE UP PEOPLE.  It would be best if no assumptions were made about what "should be expected".  You'll be less disappointed with everyone, I promise. Bah!
