Nuts | The Habitation of Justice

I think I’m turning into a hermit

Lincoln Adams | June 30, 2009 @ 7:28 pm

Recently I’ve had an epiphany about myself: I hate people.

I’ve never been much of a people person, but lately it’s reaching the point where I don’t merely prefer just to be alone, I also want the lot of humanity to be dropped into a supersized vat of boiling vegetable oil.

Almost everyone these days (except for a select few) tend to put me in a mood where I’d like to rip their tongues out with wooden tonsils and then smack them around in the face with it. My God people, at least make some sense to me when you try to engage me in conversation. I don’t begrudge a dissenting view on topics of any flavor, but if you’re going to be more incoherent than Paula Abdul after she’s had 10 bottles of whiskey, then don’t be surprised if the next thing you see is me launching a coffee mug in your direction at 90 miles an hour just so I can get you to SHUT THE $%& UP.

I’ve been stewing over this for some time now, but it seems like the more I befriend people, the more it occurs to me that either I am some kind of magnet for the batpoopie insane, or the world really has gone stark raving, cracknuts mad. I’m betting it’s the latter.

These days I’m ready to toss in the towel, buy up a crapload of first person shooter/adventure games and immerse myself in another world completely just so I can get away from this freak show called real life. At least for say, the next 10 years.

I may be sick, but at least I’m not nuts

Lincoln Adams | February 19, 2008 @ 2:16 am

The Valentine demon found me hiding under the bed and gave me a virus, so I’ve been pretty much out of it for the last few days. I’m feeling a bit better now though, so I went to check my email and found this little jewel waiting for me, sent by some girl on PlentyofFish.com who was interested in my profile. I think.

:blink:

I think I’m gonna start deleting my dating profiles from these sites. I’m getting scared now.

How I Won By Losing: learning to be independent by depending on God alone

Lincoln Adams | September 5, 2007 @ 8:00 am

Tonight’s chat with a dear friend of mine reminded me of a lesson I learned a few years ago, when I went ape nuts clicking every blue link I could find at iWon.com in a bid to become independently wealthy and attract me some hot gold digging babes. I was on a mission to win something, ANYTHING from iWon’s site, so I could pay my bills, quit my job, and at long last tell my boss to go blow it out his own arse.

I also signed up for these gaming sites too in the hopes that I would become some kind of gaming master and win hundreds of dollars in cash prizes. Instead, I would win $1.50… then lose $2.00, win $4.00, then lose $5.00, and on and on.

For three weeks I was at it, playing games, click click clicking, playing some more games, then click click clicking, then play iWon’s slot machine, then click click clickity click click clicking, until my fingers started to sprain. By the end of the third week I was a few dollars in the hole and my fingers looked liked they belonged to the Elephant Man. I wasn’t getting anywhere. As usual, luck was never a lady with me, and in the end I finally gave up.

The next day I went to work, and as I was signing in, somebody handed me an envelope.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“That’s your raffle prize.”

“My…. what??”

“Every year we raffle off the profits from the soda machines, and everyone is automatically entered. You were one of the winners, so that’s your share. 25 bucks.”

I just stood there, blown away by having finally won something, and especially at the timing of it all. I had spent the last three weeks trying to win every prize imaginable at iWon, and failing miserably at that, and now came this, a $25 prize for a raffle I never even knew existed. I still have that envelope by the way, with the money still inside.

There’s an old joke where a man prays to God to win the lottery and the Lord tells him to go buy a lottery ticket first. In my case even that part had already been taken care of. It was a sobering lesson straight from heaven, and one I had sadly forgotten over the years. As much as I’d like to believe God to rain His blessings on my life without requiring any effort on my part except to receive it, I still strive in my own strength to create my own success, and no matter how many times I fail, that lesson never seems to fully sink in for me. It’s been especially true these past few weeks, as I try to cram as much knowledge as I can find into my poor little brain so I can utilize it all to make money off the Internet, whether through my blog or elsewhere. There’s so much information to sift through, so little time to digest it all, and not enough brainpower on my part to take what I know and transform myself into the self sufficient man that I’ve always longed to be.

And yet I seem to leave no room for God in any of this. I’m trying to do it all on my own strength, relying on the world’s wisdom and philosophies, when instead I should be casting these burdens on Him, and trusting Him to once again provide that envelope of blessings when I truly need it. That’s something no professional blogger or Internet mogul will ever tell you either. But it’s the secret to real success, real peace and freedom from worry, learning that it really is all under His control. If I succeed in this new mission I’ve made for myself, it will not be because of my talents or skills or luck, but only, and ONLY, because God is gracious in His blessings towards me.

By the way, I do intend to use the prize money I won someday… specifically for when I finally meet the girl of my dreams.
