We Are Effectively Being Evicted

We are effectively being evicted. That greedy Buddhist bitch our landlady wants to charge us $200 for each cat. Why do landlords think their tenants have all this money?
My landlady at the place in Cupertino was the same way. She demanded $3200 from me for breaking the lease. If I had as much money as our landladies think we have, I’d never be evicted because I’d own my own home free and clear. Is this something they tell themselves to justify to themselves gouging their tenants for all they have? If one of you is a rental property owner or manager, please explain it to me because I want to know. I moved from Cupertino to Sacramento because I couldn’t afford to party $1630 a month in rent. If I couldn’t cough that up, how was I supposed to cough up $3200 for breaking the lease? The logic is just beyond me. If I could’ve stayed in the Cupertino/San Jose area, I would have. I knew my way around. I have friends down there. I miss that place terribly. But I guess landlords and landladies are pretty much the same no matter where you go; gougers, people whose sole mission in life is to milk their tenants for all that they have, and still not be satisfied, demanding more, more, more all the time, like blackmailers. It’s kind of a jesoid thought, but right now I’m wondering which circle of the Inferno Dante Alighieri assigned to landlords.

I thought of hurting myself last night. I couldn’t find my therapist’s card, and I sat there with my picture of Doc, a knife in my hand, and tears running down my face, wishing I could be with him in the Summerland. I’m serious you guys. What’s it gonna take to knock you guys out of your smug complacency? Am I gonna hafta go all Oral Roberts on you and say that the Goddess is calling me home? If that’s what it takes, so be it. If we got 6 million, that would take care of the problem. The way the housing market is right now, we could get a nice house for part of it, and live rather well on the rest. Then neither of us would need SSI. We could tell them to go screw themselves.

Want to help? Can you? It’s gotten to the point, as it always does, where those who want to help can’t, those who could help won’t, because they’re rich Republicans, who believe in social Darwinism. For them, you don’t exist unless you’re making at least a quarter million per year. Well, why don’t you just line us all against a wall, and shoot us then? It would be far more merciful than what you are doing; permitting this huge underclass of misfits and degenerates to live, just because you lack the courage of your convictions. Of course everyone knows that unless you own your own home, have at least 3.5 cars, a TV in every room, and a cabin on Lake Tahoe, you’re not really a person at all. Why do people gouge the poor? Is it because we’re here and vulnerable? Do you enjoy squeezing blood from a stone? When a government needs to make budget cuts, what are the first cuts they make? 2 places: services to the poor and education. The poor don’t count as people, and kids can’t vote. They’re only useful as political pawns. When a government wants to start a witch-hunt, “it’s for the sake of the children.” But when it comes to providing quality education for them, they’re strangely quiet. Oh yeah, and don’t suggest we sign up for any social services either. People have tried to help us with that, and there’s no help available. California is broke. The city and county of Sacramento are broke. So save your breath. It won’t do any good.

But I digress. If you are both willing and able to help, here are the numbers to call for readings and classes: Me: 916-457-7476 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. I can give you readings over the phone. I don’t have my webcam and headset set up yet, so can’t give you a multimedia reading or class as Stephen can. His number is 916-455-2267.24/7. He doesn’t have a bedtime. He just kind of takes catnaps all through the day. Plays havoc with his health, let me tell you, but he won’t change. $32 for a reading or a class. If you live here in Sacramento, you can come by the house for a reading or class in person. Since we’re leaving, I’m not going to advertise for a housemate.
