I was going to go with my friend Will to the comic convention in Charlotte but a combination of things led to that getting fucked. 

As I have stated in previous posts, I have been on unemployment for the last month due to a break at work. This pisses me off for a number of reasons, the biggest being that my main source of income has been cut off. All those right-wing assholes on TV that say that people who draw unemployment are lazy bum that leach off the system are assholes and they are wrong. You barely scrape by on it. Thank God that I had this month’s rent taken care of before they sent me on break. Hopefully I will be full time next year and I will only have to be out of work for 2 weeks, and I will get more pay. 

Second is that Saturday is the only day for the rest of the year probably that I can get my surgery done at the free clinic in Wilkesboro. Dr. Chung will be there with his equipment. He is only there maybe 6 times a year. Even then he does not always bring his surgical equipment. 

One of these days I am going to tunnel out of this ocean of shit I’m in. 

On a lighter note, the PS3 I found is not functioning but the man at the store said that it can be repaired. It will be about a month before I do that. I thought Hunter would be bummed to hear that but she was cool with it. One of her brother’s friends said he would sell her his PS3 and its games. I think he is getting the PS4. I hope he give her a good deal on them. If not, she has mine as a back up plan. I am always a good bronze medal. 

Peace.

I was on my way out of my apartment today, I notice that some one had set out a bed frame next to the dumpster. I knew better to leave it there because someone else would get it. 

As I approached the dumpster, I noticed a lot of stuff had been thrown in. Not trash, but treasure! The first thing I pulled out was a PS3! It had no power cable or controllers, but it looks like it is good condition and still functional. Normally, I would see something like that thrown out it must be because it was broken. But the other stuff I found belied that because there was more to be found. 

I surmised that one of my neighbors moved out but must of also broken up with her boyfriend and threw out his stuff!

I found:

a PS3

a set of poker chips and cards

a mountain of DVDs

a few CDs

a basket

a stack of books

a surge protector

a calculator still in its packaging

an Ipod

and a flick knife!

Living in a college town, you have lots of people who would rather throw away or destroy their belongs they don’t feel like taking back home with them than see them in the hands of poor people. But, as I said before, I believe the motivation was spite than anything material. 

I called Hunter and told her about it and that the PS3 was her’s if she wanted it. She tried to control her enthusiasm because she was at work, but she was ecstatic. The cost of the power cord, controllers and any needed repairs would definitely be cheaper than buying a new one. Now she can finally play “Journey”!
