Its been more than a month since my last post and so many things have happened. Obviously, the very sad death of Sean Taylor figures prominently in this area. As does the DC Tax department fraud case. I'm up to my ass in Christmas gift baskets and parties. And there is no end in sight to the madness. So lets get on with it.
Here's the thing that hits me when I think about this young man, Sean Taylor, dying protecting his family and home: 24 years old. Let me tell you: I HADN'T DONE SHIT WITH MY LIFE IN 24 YEARS. Went to a little bit of college...that's about it. I hadn't decided what I wanted to be when I "grew up", hadn't had a child, wasn't married, didn't own a home nor a car...hell, even life's real dramas hadn't even begun.
So it saddens me that yet another young man is gone over greed. Isn't that what car jacking and burglary and stick-ups are about? "I ain't got shit, so I'mma take their shit?" It pisses me off!
Now, you want stupidity? Lets look no further than the dumb-asses at the DC Tax office that have been embezzeling millions upon millions of dollars for the last 7 years (that we know of). The total at last count? Something like 30 million dollars! Who the hell did these women think they were? Ocean's Eleven?!
The media has made much out of the fact that the ring leader dropped at least $1million alone at Neimans. Have you ever been to Neiman Marcus? Uh, yeah...not unbelievable to do. Not even over 7 years. But I digress...
My question to the cyber world is this: WHEN WAS IT EVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH? Just keep lining your pockets and lining your pockets and no one will ever catch on? You are a mid level manager making about $65,000 a year working for the fuckin DC government and you bustin up into your office on North Capitol Street (thats the size of a Timberland box) in prada, gucci, louis vuitton, and louboutins? all at the same time? blessing your co-workers with gifts from tiffany's? *tsk, tsk, tsk* YOU DID NOT KNOW IT, BUT YOU WANTED TO GET CAUGHT.
Not sure who said it originally but one of the truest statements I've heard lately is along the lines of this:
Its almost impossible to hide WEALTH or POVERTY.
If these ding-bats with the get rich scheme would have know that, do you think they would have tried to live somewhere in between? ie. flying under the radar?
Not likely.
Maybe you'll hear from me again next week...maybe I go cruisin into the holidays and when I turn around it will be 2008. Who knows.
Be safe out there...
