buying eggs.

hey. hows life treating you today? I woke up this morning w/ my friend asking me how to do a balance transfer.. he couldn't think of the name of it, he just said "hey stace, whats the thing called when you move one balance of something over to another?.." i reply, "you mean a balance transfer?"...... our conversation moved on to a list of ways we'd make rent.... from hosting house parties, to playing jazz at weddings, or just selling our soul to the devil... i mean there really are a few ways around it (that is paying rent). I was feeling a bit positive until I turned on the radio and the first thing i hear is, "there is no denying our nation is in a downward spiral".... i was immediatly worried I made too many eggs this morning and would have to go w/out breakfast for the rest of the week... heaven forbid I go out and buy more eggs. That might through me over budget. seriously.
agh, i guess i could rant and rave about not having any money... the idea of money is almost comical. its just this green paper that gets you things. and at the same time we barely see "money" anymore---- cards are used for everything, which makes it easy to run around and get what you "need"... these horrible plastic little cards. like a leech slowly sucking away your finiancial blood stream. but you never see it. its an invisiable leech.

a few months ago i was a bit more frustrated about the money thing... so frustrated i wrote a song about it. check it out here if you'd like. its called "your money (aint worth a thing)".... the song seriously only took me 15 minutes to write (i was that frustrated). talk about mental buildup--overload...or should i say mental breakdown? naaaa, maybe i'm just being real. tell me what money is worth?
