my life
Writing by burn on Sunday, 12 of February , 2006 at 6:18 am
my house is a two story remodeled duplex
4 bedrooms a living room… kitchen and 1 1/2 bath
it has 2 attics, a crawlspace between floors and a crawlspace under the house
its on half an acre of land roughly
there is no heat
the lights in the bathroom dont work
the house is very drafty
the chimney has caved in, and been rebuilt
the plumbing is steel
the wiring is old
a window is busted
5 doors need to be replaced
sheetrock needs to be fixed
wallpaper taken down
floors leveled
but its my housethe work is being done… little by little
ive rewired the laundry room, the bath will be done when my father gets here
then 2 new breaker boxes will be installed
the heatpump is ordered
im proud of my house
i pay all the bills…
make all the payments
its the first time in my life i have been able to do that
power
water
cable
dl services
taxes
sewage
garbage disposale
phone
insurance
personal bills
medical dental auto insurance
food
cigarettes..
everything
i try not to complain
i try not to put my burdens on anyone else
i dont like to borrow
i dont like help
i dont want help
i just want to live my life in peace
pay what i owe and be left alone.
that may make me old… and if so, so be it
jonquil and i went to corbits with some friends friday night
and for the first time in my life i could afford to buy jq whatever she wanted to drink without having to worry about whether or not we could pay for it
i bought a new motherboard and two video cards, need for speed most wanted black edition, and took her to texas roadhouse.
the house payment and bills are due next week. and im not worried
i can cover it and still be comfortable… so im fine
jq needs new jeans… a new jacket.
ok we can get those
no problem
a new car insurance policy?
i need to get that by the 28th… ok
my life… it may not be perfect
i may not have clawed my way to the top
but for once in my life i see myself moving forward
it makes me proud
no one else may see that
everyone else says:
“how can you live in that house? its shitty look at all the work that needs to be done!”
“why didnt you just buy a new house?”
“when are you going to school?”
“are you going to buy a new car? that one is almost 10 years old”
i look at my life… and the lives of those around me… and i can smile
i can be proud…
because no matter what they say
i have a house i like…
a girlfrind i adore
friends i would do anything for
and a job i dont hate
and the people who talk shit havent got anything…. they have done absolutly fuck all with their life
