I am having fun with this. Being marked for annihilation for having a low credit score is exhilarating once you accept things and make a plan of how you want to spend the time you have left.

First I bought a small sword. I have always wanted to be a warrior and this may be my chance. So they come, beware for I will be your reaper. To hell with the Buddhism I studied finally my true nature will reveal itself.

There are so many people and companies in our economy that will try to exploit and make a buck at anything. Now that I am a pariah I look at life ruthlessly like the successful half do. Where I am going with this, and I no longer feel the need to justify my base motives, is over twenty companies and institutions are looking to extend me credit against the $3,685.29 remaining on my credit card balance. I can have companions, young beauties from Vegas [ i kept the pictures], or sports betting, wine or fine cognac[ i am weakening] or what I do plan to do; I can have a 3,500 credit line down at the West Virginia Casino.

Thinking rationally If I can win enough to pay off the credit card in full, catch up the other bills and maybe retrain for a new career I can make something of myself. I feel optimistic and lucky. Scraping up dimes and nickels for gas I thrust forth to challenge my fate.
