Irony

So being I’ve given up my job security to be a starving actor, I was unemployed for 3 months this summer. I have been attempting to get unemployment since June 23rd, 2009. It is now October 13th. This should be no surprise to me since California is bankrupt. However, I’ve paid my taxes and they should give me what is owed to me. Bastards.

Here’s where the irony comes in…so I also did a film this summer and was recently invited to a party at the Executive Producers house. Very nice, right? They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They live on an estate and have a pool inside their house. These people are so rich they have a bowl of money. Yes, that’s right, a bowl of money just sitting out. I think the reason has something to do with foreign travel as it was foreign currency, but it was a bowl of money, nonetheless.

So while I am fighting to prove to the State of California that I am who I say I am so they’ll give me my $142/week, these people have so much money they toss some of it in giant punch bowls.

…this is ironic, yes?
