the bawler on a budget.there are very few words that i dislike…

being a writer (read: blogger), i am grateful for the abundance of words that are available to me.

and being bilingual makes my appreciation double in size…

but one word that i simply cannot get behind is the “B” word.

and it’s not the one that i have been called numerous times in fits of anger and annoyance…

or even sometimes during moments of enjoyment and exhilaration…

it’s the one that contains two detestable syllables, two revolting vowels, and promptly sends me into a complete tailspin (see: anxiety attack) whenever it is uttered anywhere near my general direction, proximity or vicinity…

and that word is none other than:

BUDGET!

if there is one thing i take remarkably uncalled-for pride in, it is being able to spend my entire paycheck before it even clears via direct deposit…

i mean, i am insanely good at this!

it is one of the few talents i have that i hold very close to my heart…

and wallet.

however, as of late i have begun to notice the backlash that these kinds of irresponsible actions are having…

and i must say, i am in no way pleased by the consequences.

you see, i detest when people say that they are unable to do things or partake in certain activities because they are “broke”…

another ‘B’ word that physically pains me to hear.

at some point, i assume that it has to become an embarrassing excuse to verbalize…

and since i believe that the last time i myself had to use that explanation for missing out on something was sometime around five or six years ago, i really have to get my ass into gear in order to avoid it altogether…

but saving money is soooo hard!

and all of these apps and spreadsheets that are dedicated to aggregating my funds or telling me who, what, when, where, why and how all of my money is allocated, are doing nothing more for me than reminding me of what i already know…

i am quite aware that i have spent well over X amount of dollars on shopping in the last BLANK months…

seriously, why else would my closet look as though it is constantly upchucking?!

but honestly, how do all of these people do it?

i guess my reality check lies in the superpowers of my karmic credit and debit cards…

i just hope to become the hero in this story…

Bam! Pow! Crash! Splat! Kerplunk!

the first impression.

i say that i will do this every year…

add it to my long list of resolutions that magically disappear by January 2nd.

therefore, i believe in some annoying way i have become predictable in my manner.

and as much as i hate to have that lingering title of “predictable” floating gratuitously above my well coiffed head, i really cannot try to fight it…

nor do i really care to.

you see, this right here:

every word that you are reading and hopefully absorbing…

this is my therapy.

my diary.

public.

free.

i have to do this.

it is the one thing that i have complete control over…

and one of the few things that has managed to keep me seemingly sane.

i am not a writer.

i have never actually been published…

well, unless you count some poems that i submitted and for a small fee of about $100, i could have printed into a book.

or that one time i contributed to a website but due to “creative differences”, i opted out…

i do not hold an English or Creative Writing degree…

and i most certainly have never taken any courses or training in order to broaden my literary style…

and yet somehow, people continue to ask me to help them with essays, edit their writings, give them composition advice, or just simply do the work for them.

so i guess what i do have is support…

a tiny little fan base that i have collected through various social networking websites over the years and/or forced them to read the very opinionated connotations of my brain.

and i suppose i also have a slight belief in myself.

but most importantly, i have hope.

that one day, i’ll actually be discovered…

and i’ll finally be able to publish my memoir.

until then, you can find me here…

my very own website, 15 years in the making.

i will say what i want.

i will do what i want.

because this is who i am…

and as cliché as it sounds, i do not apologize for it.

without further adieu, welcome to shekardaneh.com!

blunt.

humorous.

outspoken.

raunchy.
