But, if his girl left him... More power to her, he's a fucking drunk who can't handle his liquor and gets abusive, whether just mentally or physically too.
And I could give a flying fuck if he goes to work for burger king, lives under a bridge, or becomes a millionaire.
If you can afford a flight, you can afford a hotel room.
Many of us aren't doing as well now, as we were in the past few years.
And I doubt many of the people here, you included, had worse luck than me in the past 6 months. My income dropped 75%.
But you don't see me whining on the boards, asking for help, or whatever.
I'm working on getting my life back in order, by myself, with the support of family and friends.
Not working on getting my friends to get my life back in order, with the supervision of myself.
dude, if he's asking GFY for help, then he can't help himself right now. if you're gonna offer advice or help, do it.
otherwise, leave the guy alone for tonight.

I offered advise. Get a hotel room with a connection.
A flight out of hawaii, in 24 hours, will probably cost $500+.
He can probably get a hotel for $75, and work for a week in the room, getting his shit back in order.
If you go to work for someone make it a tempory gig and one that still permits you to do your outside contract work.
Use this employment oppertunity to help get you back on your feet if you will.
I know how much $$ can vbe tied up into a house.
It is very possible that AMP does not have a cent and has it all tied up in escrow for his home and used for all the rest for their home. I know he was making a lot of big purchases. We were talking home shit a few days back.
If this is the case AMP may have nothing which is a very scarry time for anyone.
Like I said, ill make some calls, dont make any drastic decisions on anything. Lets just try to get you back on your feet bro.

i thought it was the best post in this thread. regardless of how this thread actually turns out.
I believe him... I've been in bad spots before... Hell I escaped Venice, Pasadena and NY twice... Sometimes you just get into a stale spot and it's time to jet... I always keep in the back of my mind a few escape plans... There's always a couple of jobs or contingencies going on in my head -- that's how I stay sane... keeping my sense of adventure going...
Amp if you are really looking for a job -- this is not the way to do it... You can't seem desperate -- that's no way to get a job... Take whatever money you have left and devise a plan so that you can get access to the internet -- remove as much luxury from your life as you need to... look for a job -- look for jobs that may allow you internet access... I had a computer lab security job once in college where I could use the internet all day and do my own shit -- my buddy Mark has the same deal -- he's a sales guy for a theater -- but while he's waiting for customers he can just surf the net... Just be resourceful and you can find something cool like that I bet in Hawaii... Or get a WIFI connection and just connect from Starbucks and sleep on the beach... there's all kinds of options man... but begging for a job in your time of turmoil just is not professional man -- you will end up somebody's ho...
You can't find a dirthole to live in there in Hawaii until you can get your internet biz stable? Everywhere now there are summer sublease deals with all the college students out of town -- I bet you can find < $200/month rents in various college towns across the USA... You have options! Don't panic...
Got a spare room and ADSL connection in Australia , bout as far away from anywhere as your gonna get ... how bout it? Gome chill down under for a bit and get your shizzle back together...
I agree with BoneProne on the escape thing...I think he needs a laptop and a long walk up the coast of cali...stopping at starbucks to upload and transfer paypal payments...
If you just need to get out of Hawaii -- seriously now is a great time to find a summer sublease in a nice college town... These students are desperate to recoup some cash for the summer while they are living with the parents... and the bonus is that usually there is no lease to sign -- and it's only for the summer so there's no commitment... Really it's the way to go! This is what I did last summer with a guy I met on GFY... he was going back to Turkey for the summer -- I moved in his place and it was great -- the internet and phone connections were already paid for... it was a breeze... and the pool was nice too! How much can you afford/month? If you want to browse some summer sublease deals in my town -- try http://www.alligator.org/

Fuck the noise, Enjoy the silence...
I've considered this too... the whole wandering thing has appealed to me since highschool... maybe it's just hormonal... hehe...
Yeah I mean with epassporte and wifi networks... it's almost too easy to live the nomadic fantasy... I'm still waiting for the technology to get a little better first tho before I consider anything crazy like that...
Sorry to hear this Amp. : (
If you want to come to Boston I have a room here you can have anytime you want it.
Tons of cute college girls here for ya and great nightlife.
I dont have a job for you but I have a place if you ever need it.
You know my email address.
good luck with whatever you decide

Amp, i'm doing the same thing as you do..... nothing left here for me so i'm taking the big step, i'm moving to A'dam tomorrow. Got a nice house near the sea with the beach in my backyard and gonna try to make it there. I got a spare room (if you promise to leave my gf alone lol) and we could use a designer on our team.
Anyway.... if you need help let me know man.... i know i wouldn't have come this far if no one had helped me when things where black. Time to do pay my debts to mankind :-)
