RASSENFRAGIN ^$*$)(W(*&$(*^%*&)E)(*&$&W$$!OPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sorry I have to vent a bit!
Well guys, here it is. The IRS is seizing my assets and I’m a very bad man!
I came to Panama city to get my health stuff done and now I’m sitting in a $15.00/night hostel (not bad/cute girls) with $4.19 in my pocket (not enough to get home) and 4 cold beers. Luckily I bought a baguette and a wedge of cheese earlier and threw it in my backpack.
The IRS put a hold on the $312.00 in my bank account and I don’t even have access to the 7k a year or so I pull down with Project BlueSphere through paypal. They say I owe them over $12,000, where the hell did they come up with that number? This is ridiculous. I’m so poor if I file they will owe me money with the “Stimulus” package. I don’t take welfare, food stamps, or anything else. My whole thing is I”M NOT A DRAIN ON THE SYSTEM, THATS THE F’N POINT!
It’s my own fault, i didn’t file for a few years because I didn’t make any money. I spoke to an accountant when I was in he states, explained my situation, and he said don’t file now you’ll just throw up a red flag for an audit. Being an expat I’m actually allowed to write off the first 80k a year I make abroad.
I don’t own a credit card or owe anyone a dime. I was going to borrow $500 from a buddy last month to get my dental stuff worked out and didn’t do it because I just don’t like owing anyone anything, even friends. I’d rather let the teeth in my head fall out then impose on my friends.
I agree with investing in the system (community) one lives in, really I do. I help ever poor SOB of a sailor that crosses my path. When my buddy Roger gave me the water maker in exchange for work on his boat I gave my cat pump ($1,200 hi pressure pump) to a friend who wants to build a water maker. I think I’m about as far from a greedy miser one can be.
I’m so flaming mad right now I cant see straight.
I don’t know what to do. I may ask a lawyer friend to call the IRS for me, I don’t think I’d be so good talking to the man. I’m really good at telling people what I think of them and that might not be the best thing to do here?
I’m going to the store to spend my last money on alcohol and borrow $20.00 from a friend in the morning. I have a grand stashed on the boat so I’m not in absolute panic mode. Maybe I need to sail back to the states and get a job?
I just spent $190.00 getting a bio-mechanical and hearing test for my job in April but I’m thinking not to go and do it now. They pay me through payroll and I wouldn’t have access to it. I think Id be better off doing a few backpacker runs and putting some cash in my pocket. Is that wrong? I guess I just don’t know anymore?
If I’m a dirty rotten SOB tell me, I just don’t get it. Well actually I do get it, I just don’t want it!
Peace, Love, and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
