Voting Question: Confused... Depressed... Any advice?
I'm kind of at a loss these days...
I feel like every time I start making personal progress with myself, I tear myself back down.
I just got back from Hawaii, had a great vacation out there, went with a guy friend of mine that I've always had a secret crush on. He's straight so I'm not dumb enough to make a move on it or anything, and I'm kind of involved with a girl right now anyway (not dating but we're intimate frequently) I have experimented with homosexuality in the past (dated a guy for 2 years) but he's the only guy I've ever done anything with. I've been with plenty of women through the years, and dated 3 or 4 in long term relationships.
I find my self constantly questioning myself, my sexuality, and my values in life.
I don't know what my deal is, I have plenty of potential and I've built myself up from nothing since childhood. My family is poor and uneducated, kinda goes hand in hand with growing up in redneck South Carolina. But I'm fairly intelligent, I'm trilingual, in good shape, relatively good looking, have plenty of hobbies, a lot of friends, and a good job. But it seems like no matter what I do I'm not happy with myself. Sleep is an issue for me too, not that i have nightmares in the sense that I'm frightened, but my dreams are often times disturbing. Whether because of violence that I or my 'character' (so to speak) perpetrates or this odd recurring dream that I've had for years, since childhood. If not the dreams then I lie in bed for hours often until the first hints of dawn are creeping over the horizon before I finally succumb to the waiting, yet elusive clutches of sleep.
I dated a guy, and found myself fantisizing about women. I date women and find myself fantasizing about men. I get a good job and wish I did something else for a living. I do all these activities, camping, mountain climbing, surfing, going clubbing, video games, disk golf, and am on a local kickball team. I try and keep myself active and socialize and have fun. But even on the best of days for me, I find myself looking in the mirror when I get home and wishing I were somebody else, or even more often, wishing I was no one at all. That I could just go to sleep and never ever wake back up again.
Sometimes I question the importance of anything at all, especially myself.

Resolved Question: Suppose I punch out my soon to be ex-boss.?
Here's my story, sorry if it's a bit lengthy. At the tragic expense of my grandfather's sudden and early death, I've recived my multi-million dollar inheritence earlier than anticipated. He was an executive for Warren Buffets Berkshire Hathaway and bought up several hundred shares of stock while they were dirt cheap. My current financial situation is this: A 41 year annuity of $207'000.00 a year (Actually direct deposits monthly.) Also a secluded cabin in the Hawaiian islands as my permanent residence, and 1.5 Million remaining in uncommited dollars spread out in three bank accounts, that will be my retirement when my annuity runs out at the age of 61. As you can see, I'm a 20 years man and set for life. Further more, and you can correct me if I'm wrong about this, that's why I'm here asking, but it would seem that I have nothing to lose when I go in for my final check.
You see, a week from this friday, I go in for my final check. I am assistant manager at a golf course and absolutly despise the boss. She has made the last year of my life miserable, and instead of going out with a handshake, I'm thinking of going out with a literal bang. Because, I live in Pensacola county Florida, and my flight to my new life in Hawaii is 11am a week from friday in Tampa. So, two hours before the flight, I get there at opening at 9am, noone else is there, I get my check, rough her up a bit then high tail it out of there. This is my opinion: Even though Tampa, the location of an airport is a neighboring county, the process of extradition remains nonetheless. So, even if she can tell the police I'm there (Which I do not believe she would know), there would be way too much legistical stuff to be able to get me before the flight takes off. (Even if they did, i could pay my bail, then leave, and consider it worth it.)
As single mom collecting child support, we can rule out her suing. She would not only have travel expense that she likely cannot afford, but there's absolutly no way on earth she can afford an attorney who can take on the one I hire. Not to sound like I'm gloating, but I can afford any attorney on earth, she cannot. Expect her to not even consider civil action. I don't like her attitude, but she's not downright stupid.
Last but not least, this IS a repost. I'm asking again because last time everyone was talking about extradition. Consider it this way: The DA is going to pay out of his budget, provided by taxpayers, to have me extradited all the way back from Hawaii over a simple assualt charge. He's gonna cover the expense of my arrest in Hawaii, and pay to put me on a plane, and fly me halfway across the pacific just to get to the west coast, than transfer planes on or two times back to tampa? Simple assault charge? I think we can rule out extradition of that distance for 90 % of all crimes.
So, am I foolproof.

And, although a state wide warrant for my arrest would be issued (And as a person who interned for the DA in high school I know it would be only statewide) it would not affect me anywhere else. I can guarantee that the DA's office will not pay precious money out of their budget to extradite me all the way back from Hawaii over a simple assault charge.
Also, she's in no position to sue: My annuity
and my bank accounts except for one small one is all Swiss based. Will SOME Swiss banks disclose the accounts existance? Yes, but I'm not concealing them anyway, and they still will NOT aid any US court or IRS in freezing, garnishing the funds in any way. Plus nonpayment is judgement is not a criminal offense, it's civil. But even before that, she knows who can afford the much better attorney, and suing across state lines, plus the travel expenses of coming to the islands, simply costly to the extent that it wouldn't be in her udget. I hate her, but stupidity is not the reason. She's smart enough to realize what I just said.
Without lectures, without telling me to get over it and enjoy my new freedom (Believe me I will afterwards) am I foolproof?
A week from today I should say

PS: I should mention that the bank accounts are Swiss based, and while they now disclose the existents of accounts to the IRS, they will not freeze/hand over any money. Plus the State of Hawaii SC has ruled that annuity funds cannot be touched for judgements/law suits. So she can't collect on anything if she sues, and failure to pay judgements is civil, not criminal. She would quickly find that out and not even waste money trying. Plus I hope she has a very good attorney, I don't think there's one I couldn't afford.

Resolved Question: I found my girlfriend hanging out with 2 men at the pool.?
So a few weeks ago we were on vacation in Hawaii and I wanted to go golfing. My lady says she is going to do some shopping and then head out to the pool/bar at the hotel in the afternoon. I come back and get changed and head down to the pool. I end up finding her in the bar area with 2 guys. I ask her what she is doing and she says that she is waiting for me. Then I go to grab her beer and she pulls it away as they bought it for "her". Am I wrong to feel like she took this too far? Maybe to talk to someone is OK, but then to let them buy you a drink. She said she told them that was waiting for me, but still.

Resolved Question: How can we stop the Japanese from "taking our jobs and stealing our land"?
okay, there are only a few thousand Japanese in Hawaii overstaying their visas and working, but basically, I know many of you won't get this because you don't live in Hawaii, but I read alot of questions on how the Mexicans "steal all our land" there on the Mainland...
Well in Hawaii, it's different. here it's the Japanese who buy the golf courses, the condos, the hotels, and leave the residents here without affordable living options or places where you don't have to be "bilingual in Japanese".
so should we just stop the Japanese from stealing our land? Because they threaten us here more than the Mexicans do there. at least, here they actually have the economic clout to do some damage.
@immitated: I didn't mention the other couple thousand Europeans and couple thousand chinese, and all the Israelis who overstay their visa, get employed in organic farming or at Mauna Loa macadamia, and basically just live here.
it's a satire on the illegal immigration situation :P

@Justice: you'd be beaten for saying that here. most people can't afford houses or rent anymore because of the Japanese coming and buying fuckall everything.
@Justice: I mean Japanese nationals, not the race. there are many Nissei and other Japanese descendants who don't like how they treat Hawaii like a summer home while contributing nothing back.
