Thankful service on Thanksgiving / Tax Deductible Donations Accepted

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I had a very emotional one. I attended church services at Saint Columba Episcopal church in Marathon on Thanksgiving day. It brought back a lot of memories. I wept throughout the service, trying to contain myself but it was uncontrollable. I used to be an acolyte for the church when I was 10 years old. I carried the cross up to the altar every Sunday morning. I actually held the door open for the present carrying cross acolyte on Thanksgiving day and mention to him that I had done the same when I was 10 years old. He said, "Funny how life circles around". Kind of eerie. My mother remarried my step father there in 1976. So I have a lot of fond memories of my mother and step father attending church services, religiously. (Sorry, I couldn't resist). My mom used to call me her "little angel". After the Thanksgiving service, they had a wonderful spread of food. I would like to thank the church and the Lord for giving me such a blessed day.......Now we can move on to Christmas. The birthday of Jesus Christ, as I understand it and believe it... What I don't understand is the greed and materialistic selfishness of Black Friday, Gray Saturday and Cyber Monday. Christmas to me, is not about buying stuff, it's about being with family & friends and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. So why do we (humans) buy each other "presents" when it's Christs' birthday, for Christ's sakes!! Give me a break!! Do unto to others as you would have done to you.... I can't see the material money side of the "holidays", maybe because I currently have none, nada, zilch in terms of money and of course by now, unless you have been living in outer space or under a rock, you know that money can't buy you what?... LOVE,..Have you ever heard of or listened to the Beatles? If not, please just go back to sleep, we will not be needing your narrow minded, nonsensical point of spew. I got enough B.S. to dance around the holidays than to waste my precious time on Earth for you. Go to school, listen to the radio, or go to the library. Just get a damn education. Start with Life and Music 101. The correct answers are all there..... Any way, while we are on the topic of money and/or financial situations, I must let my unknown blog reading "fans" know of my current situation. (This is the part where you break out the Kleenex or a hanky)....I have been so financial frustrated. I applied for and qualified for Unemployment/Reemployment compensation in the first week of OCTOBER!! I have claimed 6 weeks of compensation at 78 dollars a week and have yet to get one thin dime!!! I called the 1-800 number to find out what in God's name is going on with my claim and the recording won't even let me hold on my Obama phone (wasting precious Obama minutes) for the next available representative. It just says, "We are experiencing high call volume. Please try your call again. Click!! It hangs up!! Infuriating!! They had a "feature" where you type in your phone number and they would call you back in the order your call was received. Not anymore! I would hold forever just to get some answers. But I can't even do that!! So I am waiting for a email response back after emailing unemployment about my (F'd up) situation.... So now I am broke and have been broke for almost 6 weeks. I got a couple of odd jobs through my friends that put a couple of bucks in my pocket. I don't need much. In a perfect world, which we all know isn't perfect. And if you don't know that, then you need to get yo ass back on the next space ship!!... Just 5.00 dollars a day is all I need. I am not afraid to work, in fact, I love to stay occupied as opposed to sitting on my ass looking stupid. It's hard to find a job. I have one starting back up in January (my 3rd year in a row, I might add and I stay until the end on April 15th, the end of tax season unlike every other "Statue of Liberty" that has ever done my job!) for Liberty Tax Service in Key West but I have to make it through all this Christmas cheer. Feeling down and out.....So please help out if you can with your tax-deductible "Christmas" donation payable via PayPal to my email address: kevinsanders2010@live.com or ">CLICK THIS LINK to be directed directly to my PayPal Donation/Christmas Gift Box. Thank you for your charitable contribution. You will be helping a homeless person in his hometown down on his luck, this Christmas season. (I certify, I really, truly am homeless. No B.S.!!) I guess, I still have some pride and shy and I can't "panhandle" in person. I know this is shameless and pathetic but I really don't know what else to do at this present time. Thank you so much for reading my blog. It's almost like talking to someone in outer space without a response............. And on that note. I have to leave you with not one but 2 videos. That kind of relate to, without giving it away. (I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE UNLESS YOU GIVE IT TO ME!!)....Outer space and Christmas Drummer Boys. See if you can see the correlation of the constellation..... Merry Christmas!!....Peace, Love and Happiness On God's green Earth.!!....................... ...P.S. Sorry, I didn't have time to explain How to Buy AND Sell a 7 Mile Bridge, due to time constraints. Maybe next month.? One of these days. Until then, here's How to JUMP from a 7 Mile Bridge. Stand on the railing of the bridge (it doesn't really have to be 7 miles, give or take a few inches)... Make sure the water down below is deep enough (I don't know how to determine that, I'm a Jumper not a Diver) Then when all else has failed, do what David Lee Roth sez and, "JUMP!" ....... ****UPDATE**** This just in.****@#$%^ I called Unemployment/Reemployment today and I finally got through. The automated computer system said I had a 35 to 40 minute wait. I was so excited that I was hooked on the line to wait that I decided to wait the 35 or so minutes. I had 250 brand new Obama minutes on my phone. So I waited and waited, listening to the same broken record recording over and over. I had to get answers to my problematic question as to why I wasn't recieving my past 6 week payment claims and where my debit card was. One hour and 15 minutes later. YES. 75 MINUTES LATER, I heard a human voice unlike the recording. I had connected with a real LIVE person on the other end of the telephone line. I explained my problem, the operator put me on hold again to find out what the problem was and 10 minutes later she came back on the line to inform me that there was a computer glitch with my claim and notified technical services to remedy the snafu and that my card wouldn't be sent to me until my claim has been processed. I was kind of relieved in that it wasn't a problem with me and it was indeed a computer glitch. I love tecnology when it works but when it doesn't work, it can be the most frustrating pain in the ass. So we wait with baited breath and empty pockets. To look on the bright side. I will consider this experience long and arduous but yet see it as money in the bank savings account, in that I will get 6 weeks of 78 dollar a week payments in one lump retro sum of about 500 dollars or so, which will allow me to purchase a iPad as opposed to spending my 78 dollars a week and not being able to save my money on my own to get "another" iPad. (For those who don't know, my last iPad was stolen when I lent it to a friend) Who needs enemies? Good things come to those who wait. God works in mysterious ways. Materially, other than beer, food and cigarettes, all I want is an iPad (To do work and listen to my music) and then I will be a happy camper.... I will bees goods ta GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) Happy Holidays!! ...Don't forget to donate to someone less fortunate than yourself. Praise the Lord and count your blessings.
