Please stop doing this.
Please stop with these desperate "pay attention to me" posts.
Every week or two, you find some way to post this very same "look at me" thread.
Just stop.
When someone who is older and wiser than you offers criticism, don't automatically asssume you know more because, most of the time, you really do not. And, even if your point of view is correct or more productive or more constructive, you will always learn more with your mouth shut and your mind open.
You are only 26yo going on about fifteen. Even if you were a mature 26, your mind is slammed shut like you're an old man encased in concrete. Understand and know this this right now: that fact will be your downfall. Its your biggest fault and probably the reason why you cannot succeed as a political pundit/blogger. (Unless, of course, you want to be Alex Jones when you grow up.) Read another poster here - @Corvus Rexus. He's 15 and, like you, he thinks he knows it all. It might give you some insight as to why some here are so turned off by by your insufferable swagger that is backed up by nothing much at all.
Everyone has been where you two are now. Everyone once thought they knew STUFF and later learned they knew NOTHING. Open your mind to that. Open your mind to learning.
(I wouldn't bother with you except that I think you have potential. Others here think the same about you, that you are smart dumb kid who should be acting the apprentice instead of the Huffing and Puffing Honcho Know It All With A Cardboard Sword.)
Anyway -
Get off your fat butt, grow up, get a job, make your own way, lose the weight and post here like its not your whole life. Let days and days go by without a mea culpa thread. Don't ask for advice about how to do it, don't whine that you didn't do it right, don't make excuses, don't posture and strut, don't pretend to be self-sufficient adult, don't pretend you wrote something you didn't, don't pretend you have even a effing clue what you're going to be this time next year because kid, you don't even know what you are right now today.
Just do it because that's what people do. That's how you grow up. There are no short cuts, no one who can do it for you, no one to blame or take credit.
Just you.
And TK, it was just a message board thread. You don't get any more inconsequential than that.
As for me asking you how the job hunt was going, it was you who posted the request for help. If you do not want people to ask, you should keep it yourself. If you don't want people to know your underwear has holes in them, don't post pics of your bleeping underwear.
Get it?
That's it. That's my Rant du Jour. Take it or leave it.
