Don't Judge Me, I'm in the Middle of a Rant

The Retirement Community was not my friend today. Warning a rant is about to happen. I was denied an American Rite of Passage today ...  a library card because I didn't have an Arkansas Drivers License or my SS card. Who even carries their SS card on them? Isn't that rule number 1 for identity theft? What are they going to do run a background check before I can check out a book or trace me through my SSN when I fail to return a book? And since when are illegal aliens not aloud to check out a book? If they can get government assistance, they should be aloud to check out a library book to better themselves. What would Ben Franklin think of this? Let's not forget September is National Library Card Sign-up Month and I was denied this basic human right on September 4. I remember when I got my first library card; all I had to do was sign my name to the back of the card because I was four ... I didn't even know my SSN yet.

I would also like to rant about the fact that I wouldn't be in this predicament if I hadn't broken my kindle.
Yes, I am still a little bitter about that. I realized when I was giving myself therapy (we can't afford a real therapist, so I'll have to do) that my broken kindle and lack of funds to buy a new one was the root of my major melt-down. The fact that I was denied a library card just adds salt to an open wond.

Don't judge me because I am full of rants today, and you really don't want to be next on my list.

I also had to go to that depressing and dreaded office that people without jobs go to to get moolah. I won't bore you with the gory depressing details. Just know that I was also denied that assistance. Have I mentioned that this was a depressing step for me to make? Then I had to face rejection once again, while I listened to a woman justify that she worked for an entire month because she worked on the first day of that month. Lady I was ashamed to walk in that door. I want to work and can't find any work, not beat the program!

Don't judge me because I celebrated Labor Day and I am not a current Laborer.

Don't worry before you think I am going to political on you, I will inform you that I was a horrible Republican because I watched the Pretty Little Liars BetrAyal  instead of the RNC ... I had to find out who was helping "A" out. I googled and youtubed the speeches so don't worry I educated myself.

I will confess that my life would have been ten times easier had my mom made me a Disney Channel Triple Threat. No I can't sing, and yes, I dance like a white girl. (My sister got all the "good" talent). Since when did white girl dancing become a negative? However, I'm a pretty decent karaoke rapper ... I can bring the house down with Gangsta's Paradise. If only impersonating Coolio was a legit job. I will also confess that every time I walk in my front yard, I consider picking the 100 tiny baby mushrooms and selling them on the streets. Time wasn't on my hands because the sun scorched them today before I could work up the nerve to pick and sell them, adding to another reason why the Retirement Community wasn't my friend today.

The highlight of my day ... perhaps even week (because every good rant has to end with a positive) was finding out who was going to be named the next permanent cohost on Live with Kelly. If only we had placed a bet because I knew it was going to be Michael Strahan. Perhaps I could have won enough money to replace my kindle!
