Day 25: Halting the Hustle

Day 25: I'm beginning to wonder why I even try. Even though I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, I still ended up in the position I was trying to avoid. In trouble with the law. Yep, I found out I currently have a warrant for my arrest.
I created my problem back in 2009 when I was driving without a license, no insurance, expired tag and when I did get pulled over I decided to add providing false information to an officer. Of course I went to jail that night, it was the first time I'd ever been to jail. My girlfriend bonded me out and at court I set up payment arrangements for my $1300 in tickets. I've been paying $50 a month since then. Last month I asked a friend who lives close to city hall to take my money and pay my fine. This wasn't out of the ordinary, he had taken care of it several times for me. But not last month. When my girlfriend went to pay my fines the other day, she was notified it wasn't paid last month and I currently have a warrant for my arrest. I'm sure you can understand on so many levels why this has me angry beyond words. I stopped selling drugs so that I would never have to worry about my kids not having me there. Now until this gets paid, I once again have to worry about that constantly. Not to mention, if you missed it in last blogs....I'm broke. So coming up with the $300 to pay this warrant is about as possible as winning a million dollars. Of course the friends says he's sorry and he's going to fix it, but knowing his situation, I don't seeing this getting resolved anytime soon. The worse part is I only had a balance of $250 left to have the fines paid off. As I've mentioned in the past, I'm beginning to question if friends really do exist. It seems the ones I trusted the most and never would have expected anything like this from are the ones that have screwed me the worse. Lord, a little help on this one, please......
