I'm actually pretty happy with MY life, but I'm terribly sad about my education and the way the state treats its most vulnerable.
I didn't have a good extended family, but my immediate family are all pretty great, if undereducated, people. When I left for several years to see the world I learned a whole lot. I came back with skills that get me paid.
I really never got the help I needed here, but I got really lucky in a lot of ways that made it good for me. However, I certainly understand it's not a good place for everyone and I'm voting and volunteering to try to help change that.
Allred has a chance of beating our loudest idiot senator if things go just right. Tell any friends you have out this way that they can make a difference.
Hey good see ya again. Unfortunately I wasn't lucky. I'll let my friends know.
