                                                                                  My Life Sucks...

Starting now, my life truly sucks. I mean, it definitely did before, but now I know for a fact it sucks. Today, my rent went up by 100 bucks because I was off by one cent. ONE GODDAMN CENT! It hurts to know my landlord wants every penny I own, and doesn't give a shit about my own needs, including the apartment. I keep it fairly clean myself. On certain days after work, I don't clean everything, but the apartment is kept fairly decent. Clean enough so cockroaches can't make a home here. But the landlord doesn't care, it has to be absolutely perfect, or my rent goes up by another 25 dollars. Oh well... at least my job is paying me enough.

Well, never mind! I got fired! I just can't get a break. It's not fair, as all I did was pick up a box to move across the storage garage, and then a rookie nearly ran me over with the fork-truck! I told him I was carrying the boxes around, and he had acknowledged me, and continued with his work. Not even five minutes later, he nearly crushes me to death, but luckily he knew enough to pull back and check on me. I was fine, except for a small cut on my arm.

After work, my boss fired me for being a "hinderance" to the job at hand. He screamed at me the whole time, and I just let it go. My life is hard enough as it is, I've heard worse yelling than this. I simply nod and leave, not even bothering to say a word, as that is what usually gets me in trouble.

I don't have time to find a job in two hours, so I'll clean up a bit and relax for the day. To be honest, I am a bit lazy, if you haven't noticed already. After four years of constant yelling after college, I just got used to it. My life has been going downhill since college, and by this point, I think I've gone underground. The only thing that can calm me down though, is a certain show.

When I first heard of it, I nearly busted out laughing at how ridiculous it sounded. But still, my curiosity was piqued, and I checked it out. To be completely and totally honest, I was dumbfounded at how funny and yet "for everyone" it was. I mean, its look made seem like it was for little girls, but I had heard of this before, how it was popular worldwide for it's humor and downright adorableness. I loved every second of it, even the certain episodes that did lack some things. I love the show, but I've never mentioned it to anyone, even though I have nothing to lose. I watched My Little Pony for about an hour, then started cleaning. Even with My Little Pony as a relief to my horrible life, I wondered how things were going to get worse by tomorrow.
