Cupid and his tricks

^This is what dating feels like to me^

I have bad luck when it comes to girls. I've only had 2 girlfriends my whole life, and about 4 dates... maybe 6. But still, I've found that if other people can blame their dating life on cupid... then why can't I?
So I decided to start re-evaluate my dating life and have realized that Cupid hates me. I feel that he really does, but you know what, Cupid is running out of tricks on how to screw me over. He has played just about every card that he can with the girls that I've liked, because of this I've learned to move on quickly.
So lets start at the beginning.

My first crush moved away, this only happened once.
Then my second crush thought of me as a brother, this happened once more.
Another girl won't date me because I'm brown, this happened a total of 2 times.
Another girl thought I was gay, I stopped it at 1.
2 Girls already had boyfriends.
One girl I like (a lot) went out with my friend and got pregnant (they're getting married in a couple of months; I'm the baby's godfather!). It didn't end up too bad since we're all still best friends, but this happened with 2 other girls. (how screwed up is my life that 3 of my crushes have ended up pregnant by my friends?)
And then when I have a moment of glory, Cupid just lets me look like an idiot... twice.

So the way I see it is that although Cupid screws with me and total rips me apart, he is running out of tricks. I can only him to repeat the whole girl moving away thing and for a girl to think that I am gay. I think at this point I can handle it, but I should give myself credit since out of 13 crushes I've had... I've paired up at least 6 of them with their current boyfriend/fiancee.

I think I am blessed with a matchmaker ability at the cost of my own dating life... Kinda like Will Smith in HITCH... oh man.

Dating is harsh.

Toenails and Kids Meals

Ingrown toenails suck, and they can come from many different sources; It can come from wearing shoes too tight, genetics or just bad luck. Well I had ingrown nails several years ago and still continue to have them. Its partly from my genetics and wearing shoes a bit too tightly. Well, I had the ingrown nails on both of my big toes on my feet and had them removed about 3 times. Well, this time around they came back and with a vengeance. I went to Dr. Taylor, an awesome pediatrist, and told him I wanted both nails removed... only this time I wanted the whole nail gone and permanently. Well, apparently it wasn't possible this time around because of an infection form the wound. Well, he numbed my toes and took out both of the nails in their entirety (even getting his assistants to take picture while I recorded it on my phone). When he was done (which only took five minutes, max) he told me to return in about 3 months in order to get the permanent procedure.
For those of you who don't really know, I've had the nails for about 6 months growing progressively more and more painful. In the last two months the nails starting growing almost hook like and started to cause bleeding and infection in the toes. Well, I was also so busy I couldn't afford being out of comission for 2-4 days. So I decided to get this done before winter set in and I couldn't use sandals anymore.
Well, after the whole event, I was going home ready to take some pain killers for when the anasthesia wore off and decided to stop by McDonalds to buy a Mighty Kid's Meal in order to get a Star Wars bobble head... I got Boba Fett... My day was complete. I will post videos or video links at a later time for your viewing pleasure.

How much can a child do to help the world?

So at about october 2007 I made a free website. Mind you, I still hadn't decided to make websites for my career, So the quality of the website is not reminiscent of my true ability. The website was a donation website to help a small girl named Kasandra. She was deported and had lung cancer and her family could not pay for the chemotherapy. It was truly sad and I did what I could, make a website. We had it linked to information about her, about lung cancer, and a link to donate money into an account for the parents to access and pay. I was never told how much money was made and how many treatments she received, but she didn't pull through. So I decided to pull down the website (not before taking some screenshots for my portfolio).
This got me to thinking... how much can 1 person do? I don't really know, but sometimes I don't think I do too much. It's not because of my own ability, but because the people around me. People like Glen, Raul, Nick and several others. Why do I let them decide what I do or how much impact I can have on the world?
If I had not made that website would Kasandra have died earlier? would she have hurt more? I don't know and I don't really want to bring up the topic to her parents... but the question still arises...

... How much can a child to to help the world?

Because afterall... According to everyone (or most) I am still a child.

This is a series of screenshots that I took for my portfolio.
