Stupid People

I will never claim to be brilliant by any means and I know that there are things in this world  that I will never understand.  I am aware that there are many people who are smarter than me and can understand things I don't.  What I don't understand are people who have at least graduated high school, who don't have the common sense God gave little chickens (Dexter reference if you get it).

Over the years, I've seen friends, co-workers and neighbors come and go from my life.  There has been many of them that either engaged me intellectually or have driven me nuts by their stupidity.  Why is it that when I want the ones who make me think and use my brain, seem to disappear from my life?  Leaving the less stimulating, self centered, OCD, narcissistic twats - why?

How do I find those people who can challenge me on an intellectual level?

We've all had them, stupid people who don't know that they are - stupid.

Am I surviving?

It's been some time since I've posted anything.  Maybe it's time to actually something about what's going on in my life and about my finances.

After six months of doing nothing with it, the car is still sitting in the parking lot, not moving and not doing anything but rust away.  Is still worth the hassle to have it towed to the shop to be fixed?  No, it's still a piece of junk that I haven't bothered doing anything with.  The worse part of it is that I'm still paying for car insurance every month and the damn thing still isn't drivable.

Guess what's worse?  Six months of insurance money flushed down the toilet on a hunk of junk. And I'm no where close to solving what to do with the damn car.

Unfortunately, my Dad still seems to think that it can be fixed, even with my urging him to hear me say "it's not worth it".  I knew it last September the car and it wasn't worth the $1700 repair job that he paid for.  Only to have it "break-down" two weeks later and cost me $1500 (money, I didn't have to begin with).  That was the biggest hint that it wasn't worth it to begin with.  That's $3000 that could have gone into a new car.

Eventually, something needs to be done.  I hope I get something done about it very soon.  I would be thrilled beyond belief to be putting the "extra" money towards the line of credit.  If I don't do it soon, I'll be kicking myself for spending money on insurance for a broken car.
