been too long

Weeeeeell,

i just got back in town and strangely enough its been one hell of a ride lately. literally. you see it all started when my car broke down. ah yes. then i lose the job. mmmmmm, fodder for the economy is my favorite flavor. so my family being the loving people they are, they remember there's an 83 caprice classic that ran on propane for all but 3000 of its miles sitting at my grandmother's house. it was my grandpa's car. he drove it when he took me fishing at 8 yrs old. he drove it anytime grandma demanded we attend church that Sunday. he was the man that raised me every summer, every other weekend. he taught me to read at 3 and would read my bed time story every night. Soooooo- my family decides to take the car that has been sitting for the last 13 years since his death and fix it up and give it to me. its pristine inside. its almost perfect outside too. no damage.

ok. that is why the following few days have been crazy. in order to get a car from your dead grandpa while the title is still in his name you have to have your grandma (who inherited all his stuff) to fill out 2 different forms, have a copy of her id, have a copy of grandpa's death certificate, showing grandma as his wife surviving, another form for the certificates, a written permission for me to get the death certificate because i'm his gran daughter, not direct daughter. OMFG>......... that's SOOOOO not all.. you pay for a temp tag, then have to get the car inspected and then with aaaaaaaaaaaaall the BS paperwork filled out and ready to go you can FINALLY just register the damn thing in your name!!

the government has overcomplicated the lives of everyone. seriously. my grandma is 81 and doesn't get around well. her hands shake so bad its hard to sign on a line teeeeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiny. but hey, they need like three hundred things to prove that i have a right to the car. her being there saying 'give her the damn car!' wouldn't even be enough with out a DNA test and retna scan. Have we totally just submitted to the fact that the proverbial 'Man' really can just run us around like rats in a maze? Or maybe this is our punishment for having abused all other people in this world. Laws are made because morons can't stop from hurting themselves or doing stupid shit, with out a law to tell them its wrong. Warning labels that read 'do not put genitals in blade' are because the population of people in the world have allowed the elite pricks up top to dumb us down over time. Leaving us with nothing more than the need to buy shoes and other nick nack crap just to feel better or because we saw it on TV. FFS..... we have lost our way because we stopped taking responsibility for ourselves and pushed it off on the govt. in return they put a leash on everything we do. we gave away our freedom people!

Hooray for finally being home and hooray for pizza. cuz i saw it on tv.
