[Transcript] - Doug continues, "So, cruelty to animals... kinda hard to tell if "Baaaaaahh" means 'yes' or 'no', isn't it?"
"Nothing like that, asshole."
"Joke.. y'know.. funny.. So, what'd you do?"
"What business is it of your's?"
"I'm just curious. We'll be here for a while. I'll show you mine if you'll show me your's."
"Let me preface that this has been the worst god-damned year of my life."
I told him about my adventure with a college student at a local bar, and the unexpected meeting with her ex-boyfriend.. but his story was far more interesting.. He said that he worked a shit job in a factory and could barely make enough money to cover expenses. According to Sallie Mae, he wasn't poor enough to evade.. uh.. defer his student loans, and he thought he was being responsible by paying his bills on time. This meant that grocieries were the last thing on his list..
In Iggy's words:
Of course, at the end of the week being a responsible American left me $9.00 for food. Since I counted on things getting better I stayed with peanut butter and rice. As the weeks continued I began to feel stange...
It seemed that everyone around me had food, drink, happiness. Most importantly, they had food. I kept telling myself, "This is America. Nobody starves here!" |
