	Why I Currently Hate My Life Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I cant get a job up here in Barrow so Im stuck with nothing to do 24/7. It has been this way for over a year now. (with the exception of two months last summer)

Without a job I have no money. Without money I am entirely reliant on other people for everything from food and clothing to getting my hair cut and renting movies(which I cant do anyway).

Without money I cannot leave Barrow unless someone else can spring me, like my mom, who sprung me out of here 2 days ago, well not really because my sister had to go and be pregnant and go into false-premature labor and be sent out of the village down to anchorage and now my mom says I should just wait until after my sister gives birth before going to NM with her which could be tomorrow or in two months. (or most likely wont happen, since its all code speak for "son I dont have the money to send you down here")

I cannot whore myself out to the military like I always wanted. I have medical problems that would prevent that, its just always been a dream of mine so I thought that maybe just maybe when I turn 18 it will all be magicaly ok and I wont have any further problems but nooooooo.

And no I havent gone to the Doc about it. The hospital up here has a horrible reputation and I wouldnt trust them to correctly diagnose a rash. I do however plan on visiting the doc down in NM, if I ever get there. If it is a fixable problem then maybe I can whore myself out. ( I doubt it though )

I have no drivers license, and I have no one who can teach me to drive.

And I have an overdue library book that I'll end up owing over $10 on, with no money to pay that off with I wont be able to check out anymore books.

So much for getting my GED and getting out of this **** hole early.

worst of all Im starting to give up.


On the plus side I just got over the flu, and am feeling much better.

How have you guys been?

Well I am sure you remember my escapades in the North of England where I had no joy with getting a decent job, and vowed to move to the South...well I have done so and have no regrets. So get out of there dammit! Oh wait, how old are you?

Why don't you try Anchorage? It's certainly cheaper to go there than in New Mexico, and I bet Anchorage already provides jobs, quality doctors etc.

The only way down there is a $400 plane ticket. Not to mention I would have to get an apartment which would be another $500-$1000 just to move in.

I hate money, I think Im going to become a Communist.

In October/November. Last year it was a little under $1000. Unfortunatly at the time I got it I owed half to my sister for rent and I spent the other half somehow. I wasnt thinking "Hmmm I might never get out of here", I was thinking more "Yay money, yay!".

You've yet to learn the balance of life. Don't worry, most of these people in here don't know about it either!

The balance is, on the other hand you have no control over things, right? ON the other hand, you have control over your things. It's a bit of a mush mash right there and a proper ding in a dangleboard.

Find the balance between those, and you have found yourself. First off, you must change your position on this spectrum like an juggler. When you feel down, you must gain that control. Do something that inspires you. What is it young man, what do you want to do! And then **** off and do it!

When you're about to take a risk or planning, then you move to the other side of the spectrum. Then you take into account you really don't have too much control over certain things.

So now what you need to do is shut up, sit down, eat a good meal, take a comfortable position on the couch and think what you want to do. You can do this for couple of days but you need to be ACTIVE on it. just breath in and out, if you know how to meditate, do that. IT's just simply concentrating, getting all the useless stuff out of your mind and then you have more clear picture of where you need to go.

So you get that picture first. And then you figure out a way to do it. Remember.. this is important... now listen; there's always a way. Always. There just is! If there's no way, it means you just haven't figured it out yet. So you need to keep thinking. Then you gain the confidence, and you go and *WHAM* success, glory, presents, happiness. That's it! It's simple.. keep it simple.

Just a few options: Start an online web store for employment, go fishing so you don't have to buy food or borrow a rifle and hunt, sell the skins for money, learn how to prospect for gold, breed sled dogs and sell them, volunter to work for free at one of the local employers that way when a job does open you're first in line, write a book & sell it, learn to draw & start a web comic, become a hunting guide for stupid tourists, offer to shovel snow for cash, make home brewed beer and sell it, learn a musical instrument & join a band, join a church and go on a missionary trip (but don't come back), get a government job, hitch hike to Ankorage and live in the homeless shelter, find a cute girl and become a house husband.

Just a few ideas but if those don't work you could always start selling drugs or become a man whore.

Yeah, yeah...that is true, but I think we are all constantly formulating. I have things to balance up in terms of opportunity but as you say, you have to juggle...never slam a door shut because you don't know when the others are going to be closed without you doing it. If I get this current job situation sorted out (minor stuff) it could result in a very lucrative future...

I'm in a similar situation too, in that I'm currently living in a complete craphole with my dad, very little money coming in, can't afford to learn to drive, and I'm looking for work but never seeming to get anywhere.

Still, I'm looking to 2005 with fresh optimism, a new start and all that jazz.

Well you live within commutable distance from London although somewhere else around the area could be problematic without the car and would involve a move. But if things are a problem, throw your CV in the direction of some agencies and they should be able to find something for you...
