I have never had this problem. I used to could just get a job like the snap of a finger but this economy really sucks! Even McDonalds ain't hiring! At least, I was told that by a manager there. I feel so hopeless. FEMA paid our rent for a month and I have been submitting resumes, filling out applications, and just on and on. I think that God has forgotten about me. I am scared that my mother and I will be on the streets again. I have a clean record, but even child molestors get jobs. All the staffing agencies hire Mexicans only--those illegals and that is so annoying. I am so frustrated. If you are illegal, you get work, but if you are American, its like haha fuck you!

My boo and I made up and I am at his place chillin now. We will head over to Lenox to check out the fireworks later on tonight. I may take pics and upload them here. He is just going through some things. I hope he can get through them. I will try my best to help him.

We got help from FEMA to pay rent for a month and I start a temp job so I can get a Marta card for a month and have extra money for food and needs and save some for rent.

I am still searching for work. Meanwhile, I have some new art up on my Zazzle page. Here is a preview

My boyfriend is really sweet! Or was. Until he disrecptected my mom. You see, my mother was on the streets, and he, a GSU student, would help her, buy her food, and would be just so sweet. Then I met him, and fell for him, you know, and moved my mom and one of her friends in. I am glad I moved her friend in, he has been a big help and has looked for work alongside of me. He is not nasty or uses drugs or any of that. Enough about her friend, I am talking about my man. He is acting like a child all of a sudden. Its like he has been demonically possessed! And it scares me--not physically, but I am scared for him. I am Christian and he is--or was Hindu. He now thinks he is the Most High God--or is he just saying that to irritate me and get my attention? Then, he called and my mom picked up the phone. I was on the toilet. He accused of her lying about me being in the bathroom...WTF??? Why would I lie about using the bathroom?????? His sister apparently mentally abused him and he called me cold hearted when I told him that I did not appreciate him talking about how pretty other women are and about how he wanted them...then he tells me that he is mine and that I have his heart. He loves me a lot. If he did, then why all of this drama?? I have enough problems without someone trying to make my blood pressure go sky high! I am trying to keep my mother and myself off of the streets! I just don't know what to do except for pray. I have been praying. I can't just drop him, I care about him. As a Christian, I feel as if I need to do something to help me. What happened to the dude I met who did believe in God--even if his god wasn't my God? Now he thinks he is god. I am just left here scratching my head, and blinking in disbelief.

I am still hanging in there, my rent is paid up and we have food and I am just grateful to God for that. However, my Marta card expires next week so I will be walking from place to place. I hope I get a job soon. I have been plastering the city with my resumes so maybe something will come up. Here is some eye candy for ya!

If you are homeless and you love art--and you live in Atlanta, you should check this neat place out. Its called Common Ground and they do pedicures on every Monday, they have art group on Tuesdays, movies on Thursdays, and Bible study every day! They also serve food, coffee, water--iced cold water that is--danishes and pastries.

Also, if you want to donate art supplies or food or whatever, you can check out their website @http://www.commongroundatl.com

I was there yesterday and I worked on an art piece. Here is what I did:





That one is still in progress! Wait until you see the complete finished version.

Also here is some more new art that I am working on. It is on a window pane.

I went to Hosea Feed The Hungry today to get some food for my mother and myself. I should have brought a suit case. That fudge brownie/peanut butter cheesecake was fresh and delicious! That was one of the many things given to me.

I had an excellent experience there. We had to wait awhile because one of the social workers called out or something but we watched a video, were provided with coke or water and I killed time by drawing. The staff seemed to really care about each and everyone of us and, unlike most of the services I have experienced in the past, I can honestly say that I enjoyed my day!

I encourage each of you who read this to donate something to HFTH. When I get the extra funds, I will, and I will also donate some of my time.

My sweetie has me into yoga, here I am a really big girl and very non flexible doing yoga. My muscles are cussin me out--muscles that I didn't know I even had. My back locked up on me. I was in that accident back in September of last year and was diagnosed with arthiritus in the back. But its good excersice and Aditya, my boo, even tells me that he sees a difference in me every day, but he is my boo so of course he would be so positive and upbeat. This dude has a serious energy. I mean, he is speed. He is so energetic and I just sit there and go, "Huh?" just trying to keep up with him.

Also I got this cool book on celtic knots, and yes, I am drawing them. It is a very fun challenge and I feel great when I have finished one. I am still out of work, though I have been looking and just got my last check today and will pay for two more weeks of rent and two more weeks of marta cards for myself. My mother is doing better and even has a job interview this week. I hope she gets it. I am also reading stuff by a dude names Yogananda, I can't spell his first name and its hard trying to even pronounce it but he writes some seriously deep and interesting poetry...or should I call it literature. His writing style is very poetic and I respect all writers who can write images into our minds.

Wow thanks for all the comments on that last post! All of you are right. Right now I am just enjoying life for every moment and am putting my faith in God for him to worry about my future. As for art, I am getting more time to spend painting and drawing and it feels good. My paintbrushes are no longer lonely lol.
