It's all over my iGoogle headlines - Detroit is facing a recovery deadline after seeing the worst sales for January in 26 years. My home state is crumbling and I am in a coffee shop 3,000miles away in a town that is also crumbling. Perhaps it is true that the entire country is in a recession, but I seem to enjoy living in the eyes of the storms. Everyday I hear the children quite bluntly blurt, "We ain't got no money my Dad's in jail and my Mom's on crack ."
This is the world we are living in. A world in which we can only call ourselves bad asses for so long, before we just fall apart and starve or get the shit kicked out of us for uncontrollable circumstances. Sometimes it seems to me that everyone is against everyone. Sure it is a dog eats dog world, but what happens when there is only one dog left and all of the other pups are bleeding and howling in the streets. Am I exaggerating the current state? Sure I am...and that's all I have to say on that topic.
