Hey dude,
I am reading all of your posts and first of all I think you are an awesome dude.
With your caracter you are going to be fine. But first things first. Fuck the OKcupid. Online dating is useless.
The number one priority is finding a job and get some money in your pocket. I see you are trying to get a job allready. But with everything, you can try harder so try harder. Try everything to get a job. Ask your friends. the local paper boy, anyone. The job will take off your mind a bit of thinking to much and get you some money so thats a win win.
Beside your number priority: getting a job ; you will have time to work on yourself. IMO stop with smoking and drinking. Fuck that shit. Its not helping you. A drink once in a while is OK but you dont have money for it I guess and its only something you use to escape. Are there any other ways to make money? And make a list what you like to improve. For example: want to improve your inner self, there a lots of books online for free PDF. Go read that shizzle man! It will make you stronger. Want to improve your knowlidge about something specific, body and health etc. Make schedules what you can do to improve and follow the schedules. And dont get me wrong ofcourse you can chill sometimes. Escapism and stuff. Everybody needs and does that. But balance that shit.
You have to think about yourself. If someone is disrespecting you, like Hayley who isnt trying so hard for you you shouldnt keep trying hard for her, cut the bullshit off. Dont contact her anymore. You dont have to be mean, just be honoust with her and the situation and to yourself.
After reading your journal I really belive your a cool dude. Things will be better man. Im sure. And if they are getting better you will appreciate it even more. Trust me man, just go for it. Fid the spirit. Thinking positive, fucking force to laugh about everything and smile. Positive attracts positive.
Im just blurring things down IMO. I hope it will help you;)
Cheers VincentVega
Online dating is what I use when, like today, it's freezing outside and I have no money. Generally I just briefly look at a profile and if the girls cute I sent a copy and pasted messages that says...
"Cute pictures

How's your day coming along?
-Nick"
It wont do much harm, not wast much of my time to do this.
Jobs... they make me think about shit more. Like my last job at Home Depot. Sean, one of my co-workers, would always ask me about my girlfriend. I didn't have one. He'd point out every girl that walked in the store and say "There goes a girl for you." or mention girls I worked with and say they're my type. At some point when I went to Cleveland to visit friends and family I was hanging out with Amy and I took a picture of us together and next time I was at work and Sean asked about my girlfriend I lied and said it was her so he's leave me the fuck alone so I could just do my job and go home and not think about girls.
I didn't work. Now everyone kept asking me about her, where'd I meet her? What's she like? It was impossible to go a day without someone reminding me that I'm alone. I was still glad to have a job though. Cause hey, MONEY! I like money.
smoking: Honestly I smoke Cigarettes cause my life sucks and I'm not happy. I haven't been happy since I was about 9 or 10 despite trying to force myself to be happy since then. I don't enjoy life. Cigarette shorten my life. Essentially it's a very slow form or suicide. I've quit from time to time, which isn't so difficult if you actually want to quit. I've gone a year and a half without smoking... then I got depressed again. I started smoking again, as a slow form of suicide. I don't enjoy life, nor do I know how to enjoy life.
Dinking: It's just something that's fun to do. Not really an escape. It's been over a month since I've drank anything... well almost. Which isn't a big deal to me. Same with getting high, just something fun. So, in the event where I'm annoyed with something going on and I walk off and go get drunk or high it's, to me, the same as if I was annoyed and walked off to play Soul Calibur, or work out. I'm just leaving an annoying situation to do something I enjoy doing.
Hayley. I really want to stop talking to her. Each day I tell myself I wont text her and I wont talk to her on facebook. Most days I don't. I really like this girl and understand that she doesn't seem to give two shits about me. I try to do things to get her off of my mind. Most of the time it's really difficult to stop thinking about her. I haven't found anyone else either, which makes it even more difficult to stop thinking about her. Sometime I end up trying to talk to her... and I end up wishing I didn't.
As far as a list of shit to work out, Right now I need to unscramble my self and figure out exactly what I need to work on. So next time I go out and talk to girls I'll record it in this blog and evaluate where I fucked up and where I succeeded.
