Sorry to hear your $$$ woes Bob, but if it makes you feel any better, everyone's having $$$ woes dude, it's really tough everywhere....But, you're still doing the music thing & making it on that, so you really should be proud....Think of this: you're 2 miles in a fuckin' hole in the ground, it's only about 48" high (can't stand all the way up, you have to stay humped over to walk around...), there's mud & water up to your knees, & that's just the conditions, the work is yet to come....
Dragging electrical trailing cables as big as your forearm through that shit (some of 'em are smaller, but the one I have to fuck with is a 995 volt cable...pretty fuckin' big), pick it up high enough to hang it so another piece of equipment won't run over it & smash it, keep that cable out from under my machine while I'm running it, keep it out of everybody's else's way, plus watch the roof, watch the other idiots coming/going on other 20-ton machines so they don't run over you & kill you, plus cut enough coal to meet production so you'll still have a job tomorrow, for about 8-9 hours a day, for 25 years....Plus the dust & noise I deal with on a daily basis is literally killing me little by little...Plus, there's about 20 different guys at the mine wanting
my job everyday where the economy's so bad, & most of the work related to coal mining around here is gone....I could go on & on about what a prick my boss is, what a prick his boss is, & all kinds of other shit related to my job, but I'll shut up...
.
Yeah, I get paid pretty good for this shit, but, is it really worth it??? Sometimes I really wonder man, all these years of being a tunnel rat have taken it's toll on my body (I've had knee surgery, been in 3 roof falls that completely covered me up, the last one basically broke my back in 3 different places & took 'em over an hour just to dig me out from under the rock....these are just the 4 accidents that
really hurt me, I've had countless bumps, bruises, shit that really hurts that I never even went to the doctor over...)...
Sorry for the rant dude (and I'm being sincere too, please don't get pissed as I'm not throwing off on you, just letting everybody know what kind of shit I do everyday), just sayin' things could always be worse, even on my end....Hang in there dude, I truly envy you for what you do...I know it's tough, & the people you play for don't have a clue, but again hang in there....again, sorry for the rant....LOL....
Good news from my attorney today guys, all this shit will be final in just a few months, so I'm
officially able to get out & get a piece of ass with no consequences from the "warden"....she'd threatened me about other women the past few months, even though she was the one who fucked around on me while I was at work in the shit-hole (with all the things I described above too), making a living to keep her sorry ass up, kicked me out of the house I'd paid for the past 15 years, tried to move her new boyfriend in before he dumped her because he found out what she's all about (plus he's afraid of me...dunno why...but really, I'd shake his hand because he did me a huge favor really...yeah, I pretty much lost everything I'd worked for all those years, but I've got peace of mind now)...LOL....I think I'm gonna get one of these women I've been hanging with to give me a blowjob in my Jeep, drive up in front of her house (that used to be mine....) & let her watch me get my dick sucked....
....
Can you guys tell I've been under a lot of stress the past few months??? HAHAHA!!!!
Gonna grab a shower, some supper, & maybe work on a song, just depends on how I feel after the shower & some grub....
