Fellow PJ'er needs help

Tenzing N.

I think- fundementally, people only give to others because of a promise of some kind of return. Either an actual return or at least an emotional return. One must recieve goods or a good feeling in order to be compelled to give.

Giving to your "cause" promises neither- even though you've thrown some things in the pot. So you're missing that component.

Secondly- we're all inclined to relate more closely to individuals with which we share a common experience. Although undoubtedly we have all been in a situation where we needed some extra money we have also most certainly been through that expereince without help.

You have chosen to take a different route- one that many of us can't relate to. So you're missing that component as well.

I thank you all. This is the truth. "We all Walk the Long Road". I get that. Just help me find "Better Days."

Why don't you look for more work to earn extra money? If you need money you need to work for it yourself.

Or could you ask your parents or a close relative for a loan? Or could you apply for a loan with a bank and pay them back after you've started your new job?

Interesting that you mention "karma". The idea behind karma is that one's good deeds and actions are rewarded by good fortune at some point in the future. Conversely, fortune gained by little action and/or bad deeds can be lost or severely compromised at some point in the future. If you're struggling right now, think of it as building good karma and do everything you can to push yourself toward your goals. Utilize resources, ask questions, research all the ways in which you might be able to get yourself to that job. And, if you can't, don't think of it as a failure. Think of it as a pathway to a new, perhaps more enlightening opportunity later on.

Right now, things are difficult and frustrating for you. They're not terrifying. Should you ever get to the point when you're sufficiently terrified for the well-being of your family and yourself, you'll be remembering (as I did), how "easy" you had it when you were poor and just out of college.

Eddie Vedder was recently interviewed about what he learned from having success and being successful. He touched on a few very good points you might benefit from.

He said, "What you realize, then, is that it's not about getting to this thing (the pinnacle of success), that it's really about the journey. It's really about the road traveled and the side roads to that. I know at the time, 'cuz I've been through it, that those are frustrating roads. You don't want to be on those roads. You want to be on the main highway and you want to get up in the rocket and you want to get to the (top), you know, just to see what it even feels like. Well, just having seen it, it didn't feel like much and I just wished I had maybe enjoyed the...the struggle. I'm saying, 'Enjoy the struggle' which is strange, but I think that's part of it. Because that struggle is exactly what you're going to use--all the tools in that struggle or all the muscles you build then are the ones that are going to, you know, keep you alive and in the game when you get to the next level of success."

There is a video of that interview, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it! In any case, it's from a documentary called "Off the Boulevard".

Good luck to you!

Sorry, but it seems kinda fishy. There's no personal touch to your story, and it seems like you could be a prince from a far off land. You just need to get yourself from NC to Indiana, and you already have a job lined up? You can't just get a lift or hitchhike? Put your stuff in storage and get it later? It seems weird to refer to your job with the federal gov as 'the big boys'. Sorry, not trying to be a tool.

Like anyone else on a journey into the next step of life I can only wish you luck but to be honest I find this kind of approach slightly offensive. There is no personal pride in asking for handouts and the personal reward for actually accomplishing something you have made happen yourself is lost. Have more respect for yourself and the people here and find a more creative approach, you will only thank yourself for it in the end. Honestly though, best of luck.

You are really going to start 2 threads; 1 asking for donations for you, and 1 asking for donations to "Chrons" (read Crohns disease). And out of the same fund, keep 85% and donate 15%...

Just stop making yourself look bad...

Hello all,

The name's Jared. A 2010 Graduate from East Carolina University and a huge Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam fan.

I used to work in the Journalism Industry but in the last year followed my love of Criminal Justice in the Corrections field. Now after a year in a county jail, I'm ready to go work with the big boys in Indiana -- and I dare say a move from North Carolina to the Hooiser State ain't cheap. And dealing with student loans...forget it.

So whether it's a nickel or a dime. Anything Helps. Thanks and God Bless.

For the Springsteen fans, "We Take Care of Our Own." For the Pearl Jam fans, help me "Wash away all those Yesterdays."

For the highest PJ Contributor...I have a couple extra backspacer tour tee's size mediums, a XL-DC 2010 shirt, and a couple various christmas singles. I'll even throw in the bootleg of your choice.

Quoted before the delete. Just stop.

Wanted to trade an "extra" ticket to EV in Florida for a poster. Maybe he wanted to unroll the poster and fly on it like a magic carpet to Indiana?

Hello all,

Name's Horos. 1984 graduate of VCHS and a huge Pearl Jam fan.

I used to only go to shows in Oregon but now this Montana show has come up and I was lucky enough to get tickets. Now after a summer of 5 shows I've over extended myself and am ready to see the big boys in the Big Sky State.

So whether it's a fin or a sawbuck. Anything helps. Thanks in advance.
