I went to the Northwest Arkansas Community College (NWACC) and signed up for an associates degree course in Zoology.

They said to me... in reference to me being currently disabled, living on disability benefits and refusing to use services designated for the disabled, because according to me, those services are tantamount to modern day Jim Crow, or Apartheid depending on which side of the American border you're on.
lol

They said...
Fine, you're 31 years old, you're an adult, we're not responsible for your decisions anymore, you're a free man...
And we will work with you, you will go out there and get what you're worth in this world just like everybody else.
But don't complain to us, when what you have, is just like everybody else.

Don't complain to us when you lose your benefits, and the government decides every February that they want a chunk of yours, and you don't qualify to for anything that you pay for, because there are people worse off than you who don't go get what they're worth because they can't.

Dont complain to us when you can't get Medicaid or medicare, and your Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance premium is not only 300 bucks a month, but more because of your Asperger Syndrome, oh yes..your private health insurance will be more....
especially with a degree in zoology.

Don't complain to us when you're sick and you gotta go to work still.

Don't come crying the blues to us when your rent is $1,000 or $1500 or $2500, you just gotta pay the damn bill and that's it, just like everybody else.

What did you think son ?
That you had all these things out of the kindness of corporate America's heart ?
You got all these things because you were entitled to them....

You go make your $60,000 a year... see what you'll be entitled to.


and I said...
Good, because what I'm entitled to, is going to kill me.
I need more, and I need better...
It's time to go to get it.

And they said...
Well I like your spirit about things.

I responded back saying.... It's easy for you to say, you take what you have for granted.
:)

They said....
See you after spring break... show us what you're worth.
Because you're in.

:)

When the Community College Career Counselor asked me how it is, that what I am entitled to is going to kill me, I said this...

For one thing, I live in an apartment that the government assesses through a very greedy process, that I "need"....
Not what sells on the market.
By Fayetteville Standards, I live in the ghetto.
And anytime I want problems, problems are one step to the left away.
There isn't anything going on in the way of random attack type street robberies... but The threat of burglary looms over my head every night.
But what I am in with, is drug addicts, drunks, and very stupid, low class people.
With Asperger Syndrome and super high intelligence, that is hard to deal with sometimes.

I should have better, it would be more ample.

The second thing is....
I only get $889 per month.
My rent is $400 per month.
My Electric and water is around $100 per month, if I'm lucky.

I am eating GMO, dollar store junk most months....

The only reason why my apartment is jam packed to the rafters with very good food now, is because I went hungry for a month and sold plasma..
and saved up, so that I can buy a couple of month's worth of the good stuff from Whole Foods and Natural Grocers.

I have no money for anything to go wrong... none..
and lest we forget, I did have a $553 water bill because of a broken toilet that consumed 47,800 gallons of water last month.

Shit happens... and I DON'T have toilet paper !

(they chuckled)

Number three...

No doctor is taking my medicaid..
and the few that do, are both few and far between...and very poor quality practitioners.
and they're a hassle because of the type of insurance and the type of facilities they send me to.

Number four...

I'm no longer the champion of the Yankee White background check pageants...
I now got some ground in Mississippi mud on my Navy white dress uniform.
lol
And that's exactly what the District Attorney just loves to hear.

Bottom line...
I gotta get my butt clean and out there doing things better.

Oh, and then I said....
And here I am eating just what I need to be eating right now....
The breakfast of champions...
Poppy seed bagels and chefs salads with poop seed dressing, and a nice effin' big bite of poppy seed cake...

Just what the District Attorney ordered,  right before an appointment at the Five-0
LMFAO !
