Gassed Up at the Gas Station

I've written before about my exploits at the gas pump. And as we all know, times are rough these days. They're even rougher on those of us without jobs (that being me). I've filled my gas tank up the last couple times with change. In fact, I went in yesterday and put in 1.35. In change. Gas is currently about 2.35 in Georgia. The woman looked at me so stank when I gave the money to her. I think it was a combination of not wanting to count the change and not believing this guy just handed her a handful of change. Well, I don't know if this lady is reading this, but this message is for everybody else out there who's hatin': Stop looking at me foul when I put some change in the tank. Unless you're going to start chipping in on a tank, I don't want to hear it. I've got it rough right now. I went to college, then to portfolio school, and now I'm not working. I owe Uncle Same and Aunt Sallie Mae all kinds of money. I'm 27. I live at home. My parents tell me to clean my room and I still get asked where I'm going. I'm getting it from all angles right now. I don't want to hear it from cashier at the gas station too. Don't make me climb over that counter.

BALLIN' (on a budget)



I don't know if you can see this in the picture, but as usual, my gastank is on empty. There's really no joke here. Honestly, I only put about ten dollars of gas in my tank at a time. The other day I told somebody that and they were telling me that it is more cost effective to fill your tank up all at once. See, the thing is, I don't have the money for that. I put in my tank what I can spare (and by spare I mean change). I've literally counted change to see how much gas I can put in my car.
I think I'm going to make a rap video. Instead of calling it Ballin' I think I'm going to call it Ballin' On a Budget. It's going to feature Bobby Brown and maybe Keith Murray (I know your remember him) and some other old-school down-on-their-luck rap stars. The video will be complete with four door coups and hatchbacks. Instead of Moet and Belvedere we're going to have those mini bottles of champagne, empty of course, and Popov Vodka in the indiscriminate glass bottle. Maybe we'll get the guy across the street to direct and produce it. I don't think he's ever filmed anything before, but he does have a pretty cool handicam.
