I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

Reality: Thanks for nothing uncle sam

"Now that happy moment between the time the lie is told and when it is found out."
-homer simpson-

Ahh yes...What lie you ask? Well the lie I was telling myself about the cost of education. When was that moment? Just the last few months. When I was reading my latest paper report from my loan institution, it said I had until next year to gear up for payments. So while checking out my loan tonight, ONLINE, and it has been moved up to August. On top of that, there's some wierd crap about loan rates going through the roof July 1st. It's crazy how they expect you to find a job and burden yourself with paying off what amounts to a really nice car on top of rent, food, car, children what ever within a rapid pace. I say, give them a year to get established. I will most likely have to get a second job to pay this off so I can keep saving money as well. I don't want to have to start diverting cash away from my savings account (which gets 3%, thank you ING! you're better than my money market!) and into a loan payment. I am going to pester Sloat Garden Supplies again because I really want the damn discount so I can buy ferns and cactus up the ying yang.

Anyways, trendy item of the week:
