I am finding that I’m in general frustrated with my life and with everything around me. I keep working and trying and I just don’t get anywhere. I’m sure it’s also effecting my blogging as I have figured out that no one finds me very interesting. I go around looking at blogs and they all have tons of comments and it’s the same people commenting. I’m lucky if I get one per post. There are a few people who read this blog and others I have that comment and show that they are around. I also know that comments don’t show how many people actually read a blog.

The problem is I don’t usually do anything just for me, so I’m finding it hard to stay motivated as I feel no one is paying any attention to what I do. I’m also seeing a huge decline in my income the last 3 months and I’m wondering what is going to happen to me. I know my stress is also getting in the way of my blogging. I just don’t feel like writing right now, but I have to to make money. I don’t have a job to fall back on and no hope of getting one right now as Michigan has the highest unemployment rate in the country, even the school is saying there is nothing here for jobs in any field except nursing.

I guess I’m ready for some sort of a change. I’m debating how I want to do this, I will be keeping this blog the way it is, but my others I need to figure out what to do with, because of the job issues my passion for design has gone down as I’m frustrated and depressed about it. I find it hard right now to come up with ideas for my interior design blog. I have been posting cool pictures and it is getting traffic, but not really helping anyone. My other blogs have just become hard to deal with since I can’t afford to buy new stuff for my shopping and review blog and my make money blog doesn’t work well if I’m not making much money. I know a big problem I have is traffic, I just don’t get much, I guess even online I’m too boring and depressing for anyone to want to deal with. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will pass, maybe not.

All I ask is that I have enough money for gas to get to school and food, right now that is apparently too much to ask. I have made $150 so far for next month, that might get me to school for 2 weeks including food while I’m getting there. Pretty much as of right now I get to starve at home. I may get lucky and make more, but at this point I’m not counting on it. Pretty much what I’m going to end up doing is buying really cheap junk food and hoping I don’t gain weight. We are talking chocolate bars and mac and cheese. Things that are high in carbs, but bad on calories. It sucks having to have a set number of carbs, I don’t have a choice to just eat less.

The bad part is we just had a new store open in our area, a clothing store that we really did not need. What I hate is that now instead of maybe getting a job I cant because they just brought people from other stores to this one and because they opened the other stores are not hiring. We already were bad here, Michigan’s unemployment rate is 8.9% Now keep in mind that people like me who are not collecting unemployment because we were not full time, were students or they have not worked at all because of the lack of jobs. It’s horrible and really I don’t think there is an end to this if we continue on this track where we worry more about other countries and not our own. I also think that this bailout needs to have something to do with the little people and I don’t think that these CEO’s of these companies should see any money this year, personally they drove their companies into the ground they need to know what it’s like to have no cash, cut their pay completely and then help them, I don’t think as a tax payer that I should pay for their 5 homes and 3 wife’s and 5 mistresses and 10 kids, their cars, their jets and their country club memberships. You know that is what will happen.

At this point I’m starting to think a depression may just be the thing we need to get rid of these idiots who have made the rest of us have to live beyond our means and now we are the once suffering. Maybe they need to be reminded or learn what it’s like to worry about having food for the next week or what it’s like to not have food for the next week.

There is a huge reason I complain about not finding a job. I live in Michigan. Where the unemployment rate is now over 8% well above the national average of about 5%. If you don’t believe me read about the problems. Yahoo has a great article about the economic problems here. If you don’t feel something you are heartless.

Many of these people will never see the jobs they once had come back, auto companies are gone forever no matter what some people here say. It just cost too much to pay people here. Unions have killed the auto industry.

The story talks about people my age trying to find work. One homeless who is worried he won’t get a job because he doesn’t have a phone number, just email. I’m assuming he checks it at a local library or at school. Yes he is homeless and a student. One man won’t even put his degree on his resume because he’s afraid of being told what I have been, your overqualified.

I have heard people in other states claim that they have it the hardest with gas prices and the housing market, but they are working and the jobs in their areas are either stable or growing some. How do they have it hard when we have nothing, are losing our jobs and no hope of anything for a while. Our Governor is working hard to get industry here in Michigan, but it’s not easy, even then they will not employ as many people as the auto industry and it will take years to catch on.

So next time your looking at high gas prices and heading to your job, think about the people who are having to pay these high gas prices just to find a job, many who unfortunately won’t be finding anything for a long time. They are the ones hurting the most.
