David Cong's Lazy Space

So for the first, maybe two hours or so, the kid upstairs wouldn’t shut the hell up, and kept crying. I think this is the result of being locked up in the room, which is probably due to the fact that he wouldn’t shut the fuck up.
Then I thought, “Great! Another kid who’s gonna’ grow up with a fucked up life, thanks to fucked up parents, or lack thereof.”
Then I thought, “Damn! Glad Kammy isn’t the mother of my child!”
Then I contrasted with myself, and to be honest, when it came to helping out my parents in taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, I wasn’t that much better. I’d like to think I learned enough from my own mistakes that when I helped out my mom when she was baby sitting other kids, they turned out to be fine little buggers.

This in turn, got me thinking about the dread of going back to LA again.

1. I’m going from a 500 sq. ft. apartment to something barely twice as wide as a coffin, with two more feet worth of leg space.

This is small shit to complain about, because I just need space to sleep on. This only means I will have to not use my queen-size bed, because it won’t fit. Other than that, I’ll have to cram everything I have in my apartment currently, into a space of that size, and it sounds more like a “challenge” in “space management” –maybe I can form a consulting company based on that concept.

2. Although I’ll be giving less rent than I am here, I’ll be dealing with two other tennants, who have purportedly not paid their share of the rent at my dad’s place. Not cool at all.
3. This highly increases the possibility of my “parents’ eldest daughter” coming in to live with us. Not cool. Sometimes, I honestly think it is worth the extra money just to shove her off into a space that no one cares for. If she actually does move in, this means she won’t be paying any rent either (and that’s a definate “no rent”, as opposed to the ambiguous “maybe next month” tenants my dad’s dealing with currently). I hope this doesn’t mean she’ll put her projects out in the common spaces.

Then of course, there are the many other things that I can’t even think of at the moment…

I really need a high-travel job like George Clooney’s character in Up in the Air!
