ATM....AuToMated Reality

If for some odd reason your in search for a few moments of depression and you can't think of anything, go to your ATM and withdraw some cash. Depending on where you are financially this might not be the case but for most of the people I know--this ATM activity can really sour your spirits and act as a 'downer' for a person that may be looking to keep their motor revving high and strong

There's really no way around not visiting the ATM; you can do all your business online or go inside to a teller, but still, you're going to be in position to look at your remaining balance on your accounts and that can make most of us sick to our stomachs

There is a quick-intense moment of REALITY that smacks you in the face when you're standing at the ATM and those digitized #'s on the screen are glaring back at you and you see that big ole $28.16. And you say to yourself "Really?! is that all i got in my account? 28 dollars and 16 cents!...I'm a grown ass man and all i got is a got damn twenty eight dollars and sixteen cents--matter of fact I'm about to take out 20 dollars so all I really have is 8 dollars and 16 cents and I have to stretch this till next Tuesday...Come On Man!" (a fake tear drops down my cheek as disgruntled impatient customers continue to line up behind me waiting to use the ATM)

REALITY is a Bitch and it bites....hard!

...in addition I don't appreciate people that leave their ATM transaction receipts behind without throwing them away or taking it wit them...to me that's showing off..."Hey buddy, yeah you with the to-tight Ed Hardy dragon t-shirt, you wanna take this $188.00 checking account receipt with you, you requested it during your transaction, no showing off here, this here is the broke ATM, for entertainers, weed smokers and laid off-collecting unemployment folk, your kind is not wanted here!"
