come back when you can...

Have we given up? That’s what it seems like to me…I know that many people out there make fun of you for camping out in the streets and standing up for what you believe in.  If I were one of the many unemployed that had no where else to go, I would be right there with you.  I am one of the few blessed people that managed to hold on to my job even though the economy has gone to crap.  But I do support you and I am with you in spirit. When I hear people laugh and make fun of you, I stand up for you.  I am not afraid to set people straight and tell them what this movement is really about (which, by the way, isn’t just about people trying to get free shit). They might try to discredit you or demonize you in the media, but don’t let it get you down.  I believe so much in this movement and what it could mean for the change I want to see in this country, but we can’t give up yet.  Please tell me that we haven’t given up yet…If there is anything that I can do that has not already been done please tell me.  I will help any way I can.  

Be the change you want to see, that’s what they say anyway.  That’s what I’m trying to do. I hope that one day we can get most people on the same page.  If not, we might just be fucked.

Check out this letter I wrote to the Atlanta Journal Constitution after I signed up for a subscription and they never sent me any newspapers!

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing regarding the account number in the subject head above.  Just to be clear, I have NEVER received a newspaper from the AJC since I signed up for home delivery.  I do live in an apartment, so I figured that might be the cause.  When a representative contacted me about a balance on my account, I let her know that I had never received any newspapers.  She was supposed to be looking into for me but never got back with me.  I understand that things happen, but I never got an answer.  Not only that, but I never received a single newspaper.  I am really disappointed by the AJC, and want the balance from my account removed.  Not only because I didn’t receive my newspapers, but also because of the poor customer service.  Any other company would have found out what the problem was and made sure that my item was delivered to me in a timely manner.  But that’s not all.  You also had the audacity to send me invoices asking for money, and have your representatives call me to ask for money, when you couldn’t even deliver the product to me.  If I had known this was going to be the case I would not have bothered wasting my time in the first place.


There is no need to start sending papers to me now, if you even figured out what was wrong.  I started buying my papers from the Kroger store across the street, and I am more than happy with this new arrangement. I would appreciate if you DID NOT have any of your representatives contact me directly about this, since I have had more than I can deal with from the AJC. 

Please remove the “past due balance” of $9.07 from my account immediately.  It’s just bad business practice to charge for a service that you don’t even provide to the customer.

I went crazy with Instagram for a while…don’t ask why.  I really like taking pictures I guess. :) I’m in the process of trying to raise money for my cause.  What is my cause?  I try to help cats and kittens in need whenever I can, even though I’m broke, but I’m determined to do this.  For more info you can see my other blog here: My Cat Rescue.  I’m trying to help save a mommy cat and her unborn kittens, and get them the proper medical attention they need.  That’s easy but expensive part!!! The hard part is finding them good homes!
