RE-DEDICATION

Hello all... It's been a while, and a lot of drama in my life. However, drama is just that... Drama. Fake. BS.

For instance, Insurance. They haven't fulfilled their responsibility, but they're a huge corporation and i'm a little guy. In that situation, me pointing at a half-attached grille on my car means nothing, not even 4 months later. 3 different tires on my car, completely discombobulated interior, signs of careless actions taken upon my car in the shop, and many other examples of incompetency are all things i have demonstrated to the insurance company, the shop, and the BBB. But i can't help but feel like i'm being treated like a Bad Guy, not just a Little Guy. It's being treated as He-Said She-Said. I say it's broke, they say they didn't do it. Thus, DRAMA. BS.

Now let me go elsewhere with this. Drama is fake. Television... "Drama." Not real life. What i've been experiencing with this insurance company and the shop, and quite a few other situations in my life lately have been so dramatic and obscenely backwards. People all around have been telling me that this is all part of Real Life. The owner of the shop my car was in and my Claim Rep's superior both have said this... Real Life, the "Real World", whatever crap you want to give me, i don't accept it. I'm not a wuss, and i will not be pushed around. There are laws for a reason, and i am going to take this to court if i need to. They're handing me drama, calling it real life. No.

I am re-dedicating, re-commiting myself to this blog as a release of information, a collective pool for all of the information and experiences i have... on a regular basis. My life needs more of an active "study" mode. I dig and dig for all of this information related to finances, math, computing, automobiles, and other such things... Yet it never sinks in. To force myself to reconvey these things in my own words is the ultimate solution. I will share the knowledge i gain, and therefore help myself and anyone who cares to check in, be it once or be it daily.

That said, i will reiterate something i mentioned to my wife earlier: When she and i met, i was unemployed and she worked part time. We had enough to pay our rent and nothing else. We put ourselves close to 10 grand in debt for moving expenses and furniture. That was 2 years ago. We've been earning about 2500 a month, and we owe $2500, have a VERY nice car, everything we need, and overall, regardless of my idiotic reactions to emergencies and new experiences, live a very comfortable life. I react stupidly to unexpected expenses because although we *are* perfectly capable of paying for them, i hate to. i'd rather pay debt. The point to all of this is, I ROCK with money. money is numbers... Applied. Any chance i can, i will put in my two cents [no pun intended], or my week-to-week experiences with money.

I'll be re-designing the layout slightly as well.
