I'm going to try something new and delve into politics for just a sec. As you all know, the House Republicans in congress have introduced a new bill that will replace Obamacare. Many on the left are furious, some on the right feel conflicted about the new bill, but here are my thoughts.
1. Obamacare was a complete disaster to put it kindly, premiums went through the roof, people that did not want insurance were forced into it, and insurers left states in droves. 2. Obamacare was the single biggest infringement on peoples rights since FDR confiscated everyone's gold in 1933, It as said previously forced people to buy insurance or pay a fine, regardless of whether people wanted it or not, the government also pressured businesses to stop putting trans fats in their cooking grease so insurers would lower their prices ( much like the government forces you to wear a seatbelt for the same reason)
The new replacement gets rid of the individual mandate, and to be honest, that's good enough for me. The individual mandate was really the only thing I had against Obamacare, and now that it's finally gone, I'm completely satisfied.

Today is a new day
Last night I had a chance to calm down from work, after posting yesterdays post I started playing Outerra and couldn't stop thinking about the blog knowing I wrote a very short one. I wanted to do something, so I started researching how to make a better blog and found out about tags, I just thought they were for YouTube videos. So even though I didn't write very much yesterday, I did spend quite some time adding tags to my posts.
Anyway, today is a new day, and a chance to put the past behind me. Sundays I have off, but I promised my co-worker I would help her and her brother out, so I took her to work, and her brother to GameStop, and I got my gas tank filled up as promised. Then, I went back home so I could get some sleep before the Nascar race today. The race was fun to watch even though Kevin Harvick dominated for all but ~20 laps and would have won if not for a speeding penalty with ~20 to go. Dale Jr. didn't do so well due to tire problems and came 30th. One of my other favorite drivers, Chase Elliot did well all day and finished in the top 10.
Later today I went and picked up my co worker, had some food, and started typing this blog. Hope y'all enjoy!

Not a good day at all today
Today I had a very bad day at work. I'm not in the mood right now to talk about it, because I'm very upset and don't want to say anything out of anger that I will regret later. Sorry for the short blog today.

Fridays blog
So today is Friday! Today before work I mostly messed around on YouTube and found a cool free to play game called Outerra. Outerra is a 1/1 scale model of the earth that you can explore by foot, car, boat, or plane. I was really interested in it, and decided to download it after I got home from work, because it was a big download. Instead I watched videos of people exploring it on YouTube.
So around time to go to work I went and picked up my co-worker and she said her brother wanted to talk to me. So I went inside and he wanted me to take him to GameStop on Sunday to pick up some newly released games. He said that he would fill up my car with gas if I would do that for him and I agreed.
Work went pretty smoothly today now that I have caught up with everything from yesterday and even had a chance to sit down and take a break in my special hiding spot that no one knows about lol. I'm a terrible employee, I know but I get everything done no matter what and my boss is usually satisfied with the quality of my work as well so, :P
I also got paid today, which is pretty cool, my hours suck and I only make minimum wage so I'm not going out to paint the town red anytime soon lol. I got home, had some microwave meals, and started writing todays blog. Hope y'all enjoy.

Daily blog
Today is the day I finally got my tax returns! I slept in this morning, and by the time I woke up, it was already time to check the mail and found it. So I rushed to the bank in hopes of getting it cashed but they would only deposit it in my account and they would have to hold it for 7 days. :(
After coming home I had some homemade burgers and downloaded Tube Tycoon. It is a free to play computer game that tries to emulate what it's like to be an up and coming Youtuber. I thought being as I am going to try to make money from blogging and eventually doing YouTube, I would play it since it was free. I got hooked immediately and played until time to go to work.
Thursdays are the hardest day of the week for me at work because I'm off Wednesday, and nobody is there to do my job while I'm not there. Also we get our shipment of soda on Thursday so that takes extra time to fill the drink cooler than usual. Today I got an hour behind, so for most of the day I was scrambling to get everything done, but by the end of the day I got caught back up and finished everything I had to do.
When I got home, my mom had steak prepared for me just in time for me to get home :D So I eat my steak and then got set up to write this blog. Hope you all enjoy!

Todays blog
Today is my day off from work. I woke up today with a phone call from my co-worker who lives across the street, she has been filling in for another co-worker for the past 2 days and has to do it for a third day in a row, she doesn't have a car so every day I give her a ride and she gives me some gas money. Unfortunately for her, she has been working behind the counter 12 hours a day for the past 2 days filling in for this co-worker and she's sick and tired of it, but I get a little extra money so I'm ok with it (Although I would never tell her that lol).
After I got home I waited for the mail to get here. I'm waiting on my tax returns because I don't get paid a lot at my job and every little bit helps me out tremendously. Unfortunately my returns didn't come in today, although they are supposed to sometime this week. After checking the mail out, I went out and got me some hot wings and brought them home to eat and watched replays of the Daytona 500 on YouTube.

My meal today :D
After watching the video ( it was a video from Kevin Harvicks prospective. Couldn't find one for Dale Jr.) I played Pokémon Emerald Version for a while and defeated the 3rd Pokémon gym in that game. Not long after that, it was time to pick up my co-worker and get paid, I brought her home, and that was pretty much my day today.
About Me
My name is Robert and I am just a simple country boy from the deep south. Currently I am working as a janitor for a gas station, my job is ok, but from the part of the country I live in, I'm lucky to have a job, so until things get better I have to make do with what I've got.
Some Of my interests are; video games, football and Nascar. I'll probably be posting about those three topics a lot especially when I've had an uneventful day or something really exciting happened with one of those things.
I will also be talking about work a lot since It's a big part of my daily life. Also I will probably have to go into more detail about my job so you guys will have somewhat of an idea of what I'm talking about when I mention something that happened, but that will be in It's own blog.

My First Post
My First Post
Today I am writing my first ever blog. I have no experience whatsoever and have never even read a blog before, I don't know if I will even be able to make money off of this since my AdSense account was disabled from a previous YouTube channel I had a few years ago, so this is a complete shot in the dark for me.
Primarily I will be writing about my life, my thoughts and my big picture plan for the future, how I am going to pull myself out of poverty, and how I am going to make money on this blog by getting an AdSense alternative on my blog and eventually prove that I can be trusted with an AdSense account again so I can also make YouTube videos for some extra money.
I hope you all find my story interesting, and if you have any suggestions on how I can do things better, I welcome your suggestions and constructive Criticisms.
