Bad Christmas Present

Well, I thought I could get away with it, but they caught me! I didn't file any City of Detroit income tax. Now I just opened a 900 dollar bill on Christmas Eve morning. I am trying to not let it ruin my precious 3 days off.

I have a lot of resentment that I am getting hassled for this dough. I bust my ass off so hard every day at work, and already pay a shitload of the money I make to taxes. I also pay property taxes. Not to mention sales tax. I also realize they want to collect taxes on that old 401 k account I made a few years ago before I switched companies that lost all kinds of money.

Like I said, I don't want to ruin the Christmas spirit. The reason the country elected a Republican is because people are sick of other people figuring this out,

"Hey, if I plead poverty, I can get out of paying almost any taxes, get a free hand out, and not have to go to a shitty job that I hate every day."

Or they may think of something like this, "Hey, technically I only make 3.50 an hour if I don't include all the money I make in tips every night that never gets taxed. Technically, I can go to community college for free! While all the poor working class stiffs can pay 6 Gs a years of their hard earned, already taxed money if they want an education"

Well, its all my own fault, I admit it. At least the water department fixed the leaky pipe under the sidewalk of my house, and didn't hand me a huge bill. I guess I have some gratitude. I wish I could just pay the bill online and push it out of my mind, but it seems like they want me to send a check. I will have to go to the bank and have them make one up for me. Oh well.

My voice is being silenced by the liberal media

Some people may be aware that a group I perform in, the Ill Itches, will be having a record release this Friday at the Marble bar here in Detroit. The band has done several interviews where the interviewer emails the band questions and we each answer them. In one such interview, all of my answers were omitted, and I heard from the other band members the music journalist got mad because I didn't take the interview seriously enough. I feel like I am in high school again. Here is a link to the interview as published: Ill Itches DeepCutz Interview. It was partly this incident with this interview that inspired me to start writing my own blog again. I really meant no ill-will with my answers to these questions. I just felt like the questions were "leading questions". You know what I'm talking about, questions where the interviewer is really looking for a specific response from the subject. I know the interviewer wanted me to get all sentimental and retrospective ab...

That time I bought a Guitar for $1 at Guitar Center

Image
When I had just graduated high school, I was still working my job at a grocery store. I made enough money to go guitar shopping. I used to drive from rural Lenawee county to Toledo OH to get to Guitar Center. One day I heard a radio ad for a Guitar Center Labor Day Sale on September 5th, 2005. At this point in my life, Guitar Center was something I had only recently discovered. This ad was extra special... the loud demanding voice on the radio ad claimed Guitar Center was going to be selling guitars for just $1! The night before the sale, I drove down to the Guitar Center and arrived at about 10:30 pm. I began waiting at the front door of the business. I remember texting some of my friends from the grocery store I worked at, they ended up joining me about an hour later. Then, two other small town guys that went to my high school showed up randomly. The first 6 or 7 people in line, (me being first of course) were all from Lenawee county! I thought this was sort of funny because we a...
