i finished filing my tax returns last week, and am purportedly getting a nice sum for a refund sometime within the next few weeks or so. however, although a nice amount of money is coming back to me, according to the speakers at the financial seminar i attended with bto and puraw wave last year, a larger refund is a bad thing because it means that the government is taking that much more out of your paychecks. the reason it is a "refund" is because the government took shit tons of money from you early on then realized, "oh, we took too much, so let's give some back to this chump". how unfortunate.

also, taxes will soon rise to unreasonable amounts thanks to all the bailing out the government has been or is trying to do. so, for all the people out there praising the stimulus and all the financial aid being given to ailing motor companies and banks, remember - as a taxpayer, it's your money that funds all this lovely government spending. so, when some irresponsible person who can't take care of their finances to save their life thinks, "it's ok, the government will just bail me out", i cringe and vomit in my mouth a little.

financial issues aside, the weeks have been absolutely exhausting. too much going to work and going out, not enough sleep. i think i will eventually pass the fuck out some afternoon. no calls, no bothers, no bullshit. just pure, unadulterated, blissful napping. that, followed by a nice, leisurely shower and a dinner that won't have to be completely funded by myself, would be ecstasy.

there are too many things that i want but definitely shouldn't buy. the palace dvd set, a machete, the perfume live concert dvd, and blazin steaks. the first three because i don't really need them, the last one because it would make me fat.
