Good Morning Seekers of Alms,
I have ambivalent thoughts in just about all themes or categories. I apologize in advance, but honestly this feeling of worthlessness comes each year at tax time. There’s nothing like filing taxes to reinforce what a fucking loser one has become. The fact we’re not alone is of little comfort. Birthdays…piece of cake! Drop smoking…nothing if not a sense of triumph! Artwork, professional recognition (zero enumeration), both of which are things important to me; but pale when compared to the I.R.S. and its handiwork. Have you accessed the I.R.S. website lately? If not, I’d encourage you to hit the ‘forms’ link. There are at least 1,500 forms representing all manner of tax obligations, explanations, penalties, as well as payments due! While there are a few of you (they know who they are) that can afford competent professionals that understand and keep up with current tax revisions. But for the unwashed making payments to the I.R.S. we can’t afford such trust. Do we REALLY need 1,500 tax forms and addendums? I think not!
God I hate to sound so ungrateful, I do appreciate the freedoms and opportunities that avail themselves to those of us willing and prepared to receive them! But you have to understand! I’m the victim in all of it! Please bear with me because I know this is the seventh (7th) annual spewing of distain and contempt for the tax system we’ve adopted as law. However, in spite of my willingness to pay my fair share, I must “Rage against the machine;” nothing less than you would expect.
The above certainly explains my rational but doesn’t really get to the heart of the matter. Finishing off the Ketle One and Pinot Noir in the same evening, thrust me into a state that could only be described as a mix of blind hate and self pity. The act of accounting for the year serves as the “Oracle’s Eye” revealing the raw truth both ugly and odd.
DAMN IT!….I REALLY MEANT WELL…THIS SHIT HAS BEFALLEN ME INSPITE OF MY BEST EFFORTS!
Okay, I’m sorry for the emotional outbreak, but it couldn’t be helped. Roger the ‘Hairdresser’ has been beside himself over his alleged $15K tax bill making everyone’s life miserable in the process. If I take on similar countenances please choke me out. No charges will be filed.
I think we’re all familiar with the scripture regarding how “the truth will set you free.” I’m here to tell you that’s a load of skid marks! Hyperbole wins most times. I can hear you mollusks now,…”zuki isn’t what you’re saying is that your best efforts are a lie?”…WAIT A MINUTE…not so fast! What I’m trying to tell the two or three of you still reading this post mark is absolute truth is not always beneficial! It’s difficult to gage the right mix. Never-the-less, it seems times have changed and it’s become necessary to secure someone better at it than I am.
