  1. Find a way to get what you want, without doing illegal stuff. Its going to take some effort and time, and while you're in a nowhere job, think about what you can learn, do, or build to improve your life. I never saw any job as my future or way to riches and wealth. They were all temporary. Just a way to get by for a while, and move on when it was depleted, like mining an ore vein in the ground. At 55 I am looking at how much time I might have left where I am functional, and its maybe 15 years. There are things I want to do before my expiration arrives, and my mind sometimes keeps me awake at night chewing on if I will get the important ones done. Mostly its car builds... Maybe it was how I grew up, essentially alone in a family with six kids, I and the second and was always the outcast, my family tolerated me is the best way to put it. Maybe it was growing up ion a farm in the 70s and 80s. Going back to when I was 13, I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and it wasn't a job. Jobs merely paid for what I wanted to do. I wanted to go drag racing, build cars to have fun, and drive the stuff I built. I never had the opportunity to make racing my life and source of income, I was always held back or prevented from doing it by someone else. Not blaming others, I mean they were doing what was best for them, and its just how it was, only a handful were malicious towards me. It was my circumstances, and it was rare anyone gave me a hand up. At 5 I learned that anything can happen, when my older cousin's husband had a tractor roll over on him. That guy used to take me around and do fun things, he could probably see that my family didn't really want me. You can go at any time. There have been more times than I can remember or count where I came close to not being here anymore. Military, farming, other people causing car accidents when I was a passenger, all sorts of things... including recurrent thoughts of sewer slide because of horrible things that happened when I was growing up. I have very few regrets in life, other than getting married.. and not buying that 1969 GTO Judge for $1200 in 1986. Technically I had earned the money, but my dad took what I had earned and said no when I told him about the Judge. He said it would never be worth more than $2500 to justify it, but I would have never sold that car. I haven't sold many over the years, which is how I have so many of them now, including a 69 GTO, well whats left of one. Live for you, because its the only life you're going to get on this planet, and what a wonderful planet it is.
