Freezing

When I was outside earlier today, I thought wow it is warm out. It was 36 degrees outside and I thought it was warm. This is because it is usually 4 degrees. It is suppose to go down to zero one of these days. Zero. This is senseless, I have already signed up for the frequent flyer account and I am awaiting the program to be linked to order my plane ticket to the West Coast. Sun, warmth, happines? I can't take this single digit bullshit anymore.
Been thinking about the various projects I am working on. There are three that I think have a chance of making enough money to support myself. I have long since begun working on all three of them and one is soon to launch. I don't know what else to do with myself. Maybe I should get a part-time job somewhere. Minimum wage is garbage, a person can't support themselves on minimum wage. It is pathetic, in our country minimun wage should be at least $15/hr. That is a living wage. A read a report recently that said minimun wage wasn't nearly enough for one to support themselves above what is considered the poverty line (which is also another incorrectly set standard). Where is all the money going, and what is the deal with working people to death doing nothing. So many companies require you to pour your life and all your time into working for them. These same companies would be rid of you anytime they felt neccessary. I'm trying to figure it out, this shit ain't working. Why can't I find a decent place to live in the city and get a simple part-time job doing whatever that pays a comfortable wage. Yeah I know, it sounds insane, impossible, ridiculous. But to me it makes sense. Is it just a tradition and standard that skews everything towards the top? I guess it has just been that way forever. Why do most people have to work long hours at thankless jobs just to support themselves, just to make ends meat in many cases. It is a system that has grown into what it is today. I don't know, all I do know is that this shit we got now is garbage.
