mental: my thoughts in a frying pan on high

I've reached this fork in the road, so why does it cut like a knife? (stole that from Jemaine)... But seriously.

I saw one of those eHarmony TV spots today and thought to myself: you know, it's probably a good thing for these poor bastards to create profiles on these dating sites. Even if you're ultimately just like 99% of the people who get the cold shoulder from Cyberspace Cupid (let's face it, those who have all of the qualities we are looking for are not likely on the internet perusing dating sites for the right 1" by 1" picture to jump out of the screen and grab them by the heartstrings; they're out having fun with their successful, smart and otherwise remarkable friends in the real world), you've taken the time to lay out to yourself everything what you want in a mate, and what qualities best describe you.

The act of organizing one's thoughts alone would theoretically improve your chances of putting yourself in a situation that would bring you together with those who are like minded and probably most suitable for you.

I suppose it would apply to my career searching too, right?

False. I've created countless profiles on Monster, LinkedIn, Workopolis, CFN, personal resumes... but I am still quite clueless as to what I'd be best suited for right now. That's why I'm thinking that I'm going about it the wrong way and my eHarmony shpeel was all for naught.

I've got to tap into that ancient well of knowledge and confidence I once relied on, pull the knickers out from the crack of my ass, and stop being "such a pussy".

1. Pick a place to live and make it "permanent" by artificially cutting out the option of living in a different place 3-6 months from now.
2. Depending on the location (ie: tokyo, italy, toronto, montreal and vancouver vastly differ in terms of what I would want out of life) pick/make up a career and gung ho the shit out of it.
3. $$$ Profit $$$

I just need to decide on a place to live.

Back to our regularly programmed... programs?
