I just did my taxes. For some reason, I owe the state of Illinois 3 dollars... I can't quite figure it out. Turbo Tax hinted that I might get as much as $30 back, but my math doesn't make it so.
I didn't want to pay Turbo Tax $34.95 to e-file the state tax return for me in order to get $30 back. Make sense? So I did the paper arithmetic thing. And apparently, I'm not as good at paper arithmetic as I thought I was... I don't care any more. They can have their $3, or their $33. I've spent all afternoon looking at these numbers. I'm tired of it.
Other things I am tired of: Pakistani politics and politicians, especially those named Bhutto, Zardari and Sharif and anyone and anything associated with them.
Sidrah sent me this. It makes me happy and sad. It has English subtitles, for you illiterates.
Laal always has a powerful social message in its songs (well, the two I've heard so far anyway). Let's hope the message translates into action somehow... I feel like such a fraud saying that, sitting here in Chicago... but a brother has to get out of debt. And have a plan. In debt with no plan doesn't equate to driving positive change.
What does?
