Thoughts on Taxes and Slow Internet

I spent the majority of my afternoon doing all my taxes and stuff. Being a gypsy I had a little extra work then most, income in two different states and all. I began to question how everyone gets their taxes done. I had a crazy math teacher who made us fill out fake taxes every year and graded us and stuff. I guess it is a good thing because now I can do them by myself for the most part. good thing Scooter has a hella tax skills as well, otherwise I would still be doing it. Filling out your taxes is kind of interesting though, you get to see exactly how much money they take from you. I was kind of mad because I made like 1000 dollars in New Jersey and according to their kooky tax bracket I owed 21 dollars. Now in my paychecks it automattically took out state tax, to the amount $20.22. I now have to write a check for like .70 something cents to the state of New Jersey. As for Montana, I will get all my taxes back, which is good because I don't have any desire to give the state any money at all. Either way though, today I feel like a functioning member of society, paying taxes and stuff...a weird feeling. I think I am still to young for all this buisness. Childhood seems like such a short time ago.
Oh Well...

On to the internet. The wireless here in Flow-rida has been super duper slow. It all started on April 1st so I convinced my self that hackers slowed down the internet as an April Fools prank. Obviously wrong, but when resetting the modem doesn't fix the problem I get really pissed off. I am very impatient about slow internet so you are all lucky I am even enduring it long enough to write a blog. Back to Jersey soon, were the weather is cold...but the internet is fast.

Thoughts on Rebuilding

Wow amazing would it be to be able to take part in the rebuilding of a country? Maybe it is all this revolution going on in the middle east that has me going, but I think that would be a pretty crazy experience to live through. Granted it would be really sucky to live in a country that was ripping itself apart from the inside, but if you survived the anarchy and everything, it would be pretty darn good story to tell your grand kids. "Back in my day we had to walk ten miles through the snow and back to set up a new government for our whole country!"

I guess the whole problem with the idea of Anarchy is that it is human nature to band together and create laws, I'm sorry punks, you can fight the government all you want but once it is all gone, human nature will most defiantly bring it back. I think the whole concept of anarchy would be cool for about a week. The freedom to do whatever the heck you want to do. After that it would get really scary and dangerous, everyone would miss their government, control, laws and safety and eventually re create it and we would be right back to square one. I guess the Sex Pistols had it all wrong...what a shame...

On a lighter note, my uncle has the cutest cat ever. He is a ginger kitty named Lucky that my uncle found on the side of the street and saved. Skittish little thing but cute all the same. I love cats...
