It's HUmp Day!

It's Hump Day!

Yes we've finally made it to this par of the week where the weekend is in sight and we just may make it through yet another difficult life as a Gimp.
People don't even realize that a 'Back Injury" such has happened to me, pretty much ends your life as you know it, and here is why I say this?

1.) You can no longer function in the capacity you did before, which for me was primary wage earner, Now I'm the most UN employable man on the planet.

2.) Too Young according to Social Security to collect that benefit even though I paid 26 years into that program, for just such an instance, but because their piss poor broke they won't approve my application for SS.

3.)NO longer to care for yourself, due to the medications they have you on to combat the pain, makes you into a zombie, more or less here in physical body, but gone as far as the mind goes.

4.) No more friends or Family, as they are the first to hit the exit's when you get hurt as they figure they don't want to be dragged down by you, or worst of all have you ask them for a favor or money or something.

5.) no more physical activities that you used to enjoy such as, Basket Ball, Golf, Soccer, Football, Fishing, Or any other type of fun you'd thought of having as that's over now the body just won't support these activities.

6.) No real Family life as your too busy just trying to survive this injury let alone show anyone affection of any kind due to the medication as well.

7.) Anti Social Behavior kicks in over drive, as the seclusion from the meds kicks in.

8.) you pretty much walk around pissed off all the time, because of the above listed 7 things, but don't you know that society wants you to just spring right back and get your ass right back into work,  but here lies the rub. WITH A BROKEN BACK INJURY WITH ACCOMPANIED SURGERY, NO ONE, AND I REPEAT ONE WILL HIRE YOU,  and here is why they won't, they except the responsibility if something at their job causes your back injury to worsen or even fails all together, this then makes you their responsibility, so you're wondering why you can not find a job?, well there is your answer, your too much a liability, but yet not enough of one to be covered by the wonderful assholes at "SOCIAL SECURITY", who, over and over again, tell me I'm too young to be covered, yet I know of five count them FIVE persons who are under the age of 32 who are on Social Security for the exact same reason, and they got covered, oh and they worked maybe on average about 8 years in their lifetime, so go figure I work 26 years and pay huge sums of money into the system, yet these rejects that can't even hold a job, get tapped out what a crock of shit!, the system here is definitely broken here folk's, not just my back that is for sure.

So there it is in a nut shell, this will be my fight and this is what has been layed on my table to battle everyday, but yet everyone and I repeat everyone , wants to know why I'm so UN happy and why I'm so angry all the time, well there it is folk's out there for the whole world to see.
I said it, and I'll say it again to be clear, "SOCIAL SECURITY" is a F@@king Sham, and they can all rot in hell for as far as I'm concerned.

Make It A Great Day Folk's!
