man.

My tank is on empty. Empty.

I am just physically incapable of having an honest job. I try - oh my god do I try. But falling while other people are rising is just too much for me. I've seen too many awesome things to be just barely fighting for survival. I keep telling myself that I'm about to start getting scrappy, but when? When will I turn into a pitbull again? Maybe if I wait tables and pretend that I'm grateful for life for the next what, 2 - maybe 5 - maybe 15 years? Knowing the whole time that I'm full-time suppressing that greedy instinct, putting on a show for everyone just so they will feed me - like an adopted, abused dog?

This is not me. I am a bank-rapist, a money shifter, and a derivatives trader. These things will never change. I can do other things, but I've already had a taste. The question is: when will I rampage again? I lead a pathetic existence right now. a lot of people think life is beautiful, but I don't. I think indulgence is beautiful. I will commit suicide before I find myself really just "chilling" and being like everyone else. I can't "chill." That cool stuff doesn't work for me, and my patience was as thin as it gets two years ago. Something's got to happen, even if I have to force it. A little more than 5 months before I turn 28. If I'm still fighting for table scraps at that time, then this material will have to be archived somewhere because I'll be as gone as it gets.
 
Sounds like that fire is on the verge of manifesting itself. Its REAL discouraging now with the job market (you know this, though) but it sounds like you are going to stand and get it sorted by the passion in your post. Once you get rolling, I'm guessing you'll be unstoppable. Its just hard to get that spark when nothing is materializing. It'll happen

That is an inspiring response and exactly exemplifies my attitude. There is only one life. I'm not going to spend it with the goal of mere survival. That's never what I've been about, and I really don't care if "reality" doesn't mesh with my viewpoint.
