Here's your problem :
1) Sense of entitlement. Somehow you manage to keep the idea that you are special even though all evidence points to the fact you are a fucking loser. (But you don't have to stay one.) A sense of entitlement is deadly because it makes working for a wage or at anything less than "get rich quick" rates seem like a waste of your effort. I recommend you cultivate humility and grow up.
I was going to put some more secondary issues down but in actuality, it all comes down to #1. Without getting rid of #1 it all stops right there.
It's obvious to me by the way you pump yourself up that you have self esteem issues and the defense mechanism of propping up your ego is actually keeping you down.
I'll close with a couple of tips that I don't think you're ready to implement or even listen to, but what the hell.
1) The way to achieve something that doesn't come easy (even when you think it should) is to have a 'whatever it takes' mentality. This doesn't mean you scheme to kidnap someone or whatever other crazy stuff you have posted before. This means when you try something, you are then willing to go through the cycle of :
i) try
ii) evaluate results
iii) formulate a strategy for improvement
iv) implement improvement
v) REPEAT
2) It's a good idea to plan for success no matter the outcome. What I mean by this is, if you want to dream big that's fine, but you need to have not only a backup plan, but a realistic PRIMARY plan that gets you most of where you want to go. Even if it takes more work than you would like, or you don't think its necessary because your ship is going to come in one of these days. There's tonnes of homeless bums and working poor that wasted their life on the expectation something bigger was going to just happen so they should just wait it out.
3) If your mind is still open, by this point, congrats. Here's the secret that you are missing. Actually doing regular every day stuff (like a job for wages but doesn't absolutely have to be) and slowly getting ahead will give you a REAL sense of pride, will result in real gains, and will turn your life around. Your whole thinking will change. Even if you don't see yourself wanting to do XYZ job in 20 years, it's always worthwhile to be working at something that enables you to personally develop yourself, gain experience, gain perspective, and hopefully branch out into something that you really want to do. Right now you likely think the type of people that does this are suckers, but I guarantee you that when you are 60 and live in a SRO on welfare or in a piss-smell inherited trailer like Vjo you will wish that you put some effort into your life whlie you had the chance.
4) Doing nothing is always deadly.
