so 'The Man' wins again

i spend most of my life standing around, waiting.
at the post office, at work, at the store, waiting for someone to pay attention to me.
in order to get ahead in this world, you need a skill to rely on, an in demand skill that, while may not be something that you particularly enjoy, will help pay the bills and let you pursue what you really want to do.
Many people have the helping hand of thier parents or loved ones to give them a boost up towards the american dream. alot of us, however, never have that oppurtunity and end up struggling through life just to get by. we may be smart and ambitious in our pursuits, but that means a whole lot of nothing if you cant pay for it. for example, i would like to return to college to finish up a degree in something that, while im not going to love, will pay my bills thus giving me the peace of mind i need to survive.
classes begin Jan 28th.
im working 3 jobs at a minimum of 60 hours a week. im trying to get some of my own stuff done on the side as well as being in physical therapy 3 times a week for an hour at a time. i really hate one of my jobs and think i can actually afford to quit, but they have me by the health insurance, which i need for the physical therapy, etc. one of the other ones is just a bar job one day a week which is a two minute walk from where i live, so theres no point in leaving that. the last one is a little office job 2 days a week that i am trying out to see if i can actually do something outside of the restaurant field, plus i am anxious to learn how an office works since one day i wish to run my own business,
all this is such a delicate balance - and i want to progress in my life so much, but i cant since if i try to return to school now i will collapse and die i think.
and the man wins again.

Bush Bush Bush

George Bush is visiting the Queen of England.

He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient
government? Are there any tips you can give me?"

"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent people."

Bush frowns, "But how do I know the people around me are really
intelligent?"

The Queen takes a sip of tea.

"Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligence
riddle."


The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send The Prime
Minister in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walks into the room. "Your Majesty...."

The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and
father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your
sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Blair answers, "That would be me!"

"Yes! Very good!" says the Queen.


Back at the White House, Bush calls in his vice president, Dick
Cheney.

"Dick, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child.
It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," says the vice president. "Let me get back to you on
that one."

Dick Cheney goes to his advisers and asks every one, but none can
give him an answer.

Finall! y, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin
Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Dick shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and
father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is
it?"

Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"

Dick Cheney smiles. "Thanks!"
Cheney goes back to the Oval Office and asks to speak with Bush.


"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.
It's Colin Powell."

Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells into his
face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!
