I'm completely SICK to my stomach!!!! Monsters like these should not just go to prison but they DESERVE the SAME treatment they did to these innocent children!! Cruel and unusual punishment is NOT the case for these mother fuckers! The death penalty is the same as getting the easy way out...no, hell no - they should suffer, they should be tortured every single day for the rest of their miserably life. They deserve it!

Today was bad...it's been stupid slow all morning. Then, I log off for a bit and when I log back on SM my placement goes from page 1 to page 6. I sat in an empty room for 15 minutes waiting for it to correct itself, which it never did. So I logged off and drove to the closest fast food place and bought a cheeseburger and fries...because at this point, this cheeseburger is the hottest thing I've done today.

^^ Right?? I have had the hardest time losing weight since that guy broke my shoulder.. and now I am in this CATCH 22 zone.. I make 10-20 bucks less an hour and I know it's because of my weight...and then so I just wanna eat or drink to satisfy my lack of happiness and lack of money and lack of hope... so then what?? any effort from exercise or dieting is just thwarted...LOL... 3 yrs of this round and round and round the merry go round...

09-25-2014, 11:13 AM
Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been putting on weight lately too...in turn, making me more depressed and wanting to eat more! I make horrible decisions when I have a bad day on cam. I log off and am like "FUCK IT!" and that's why I drive to get cheeseburgers lol. I should work out today...but I'm already mentally done with this day, so in reality I'll probably sit on the couch and watch TV the rest of the day instead. Thanks a lot Streamate, for making me fat and lazy! hahaha

egads, I try not to be negative and polarize, but I am so bummed. I'm fucking tanking on SM. Three weeks and I still can't make even 50 dollars in there (cumulatively). Every time I log in..... this sucks.

I know I should be putting in more hours, but man it's hard when I can be there for any stretch of time and NOT get any privates or gold. 0.00 comes difficult to see. I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

and what's even worse, I had a guy in my room all morning saying he used to be a model in SM and he will 'gladly train me for free'. I refused and it became more and more difficult with him telling me: so slow, right? no privates today? you should change your outfit/angle/makeup. I can help you if we go on skype. KILL HIM.

OMG you are bragging that you are making over 2 grand a week and you can't give me a fucking dollar?? fuck you

Was his name Heisenberg? If so, ban that asshole ASAP. He will post how much you supposedly make in front of potential customers. I have had to do damage control because of that asshole typing out that I make between 1000-1400 a week on SM. Which is not true. But yeah, so many people refused to go pvt after that. I picked up the pieces, but shit, that dude is an annoyance.

Debating if I should go back on or not today.. I mean I just got back from the service dept at the dealership and he said my car is in such bad shape I need a new one and I can't get one.. FML.. we are talking $8 grand worth of repairs if I fixed it all at once.. I have been super depressed and stressed the last few months knowing this... you wanna know what is even more upsetting?? I paid over 40 grand for this vehicle brand new and its 11 yrs old and I just got done paying for it last year.. YEA don't buy a car that expensive!... it was a fucking nitemare and now look

yes that was him. He WAS talking about money and I answered what someone else said around here, 'It's so crass to ask about peope income, don't you think?' but then he started on my outfit. I don't know what's worse. He got on my nerves and I think I will ban him if he returns. He's killing my vibe damnit.

First time on here. I am super pissed. Pissed at myself and pissed at the situation that my vanilla job has put me in. So my plan was to quit my vanilla job next year after my hustle challenge was complete. I would go back to correspondence school to get my second degree and have saved up enough to live on and pay for tuition without having to worry about what I made on cam or not etc. Problem is, my vanilla job just went ahead and fucking changed the dates of our pay checks, basically ensuring that I won't be able to pay any of my rent or bills timeously. Payday is next Tuesday, they told us this today. Holy fuckballs. This is going to carry on until whenever, so basically I will not be able to pay anything on time, let alone know when a paycheck will be coming my way. It is not worth the hours that I put in there to be working for a paycheck that changes dates whenever it wants.

So now, if this is how it will be, I will have to switch to camming next month, with zero financial backup whatsoever. That is not what I wanted to do, I was trying to be clever about this. I don't mind camming full time, but I do mind relying on a fluctuating income with nothing else backing me. I am pissed at myself that I didn't see this coming though and that I allowed myself to stay on at this vanilla job even when I knew deep down something wasn't right. I am pissed that I accepted things because of a "guaranteed bill paying cheque". Silly me.

The main reason why i am pissed I guess is that they say you call out to the universe for certain things and it gives them to you. a month ago I would have said yes, the fact that I will now be plunged into this situation is totally my fault, due to my irresponsible spending. Now however, I have done absolutely nothing but be the most responsible person ever. I have begun saving, cut down on the silly spending, made regular shifts on cam etc. Why the fuck is this happening!? Why now, that I am actually trying to get my shit together is the universe just going "no"? Fuck. I am ready to trash things. Hoping one of my regs can talk me down on cam today.

Streamate has been consistently bad this entire month. I'm making 30% less than what I'm used to and there have been a lot more trolls in my room. I hope things pick up soon.

Oh, and my super expensive laptop is already taking a shit on me, even though I bought it less than a year ago. I can't even use the warranty because I can't have it gone for two weeks. I'm better off just buying a new one if I have to lose two weeks worth of income. FML

Camming will pay, you now have more hours to make unlimited money in. The summer slump is over , so you'll be able to make great money. Not sure how bad winter is where you are, but do remember the whole no commute/ no driving in the snow perk of camming.

Thank you :) this does make me feel a lot better. I think I am just scared because I am new on quite a few sites so I'm not sure how it will be while I am establishing myself, but if there is one thing that is for sure, I will work the damn hours and do the time.

You know things aren't going well when you've made literally all your money in one night just on IMLive. SM is beyond dead for me. Literally 0 shows, no one will talk aside from like twice an hour I'll get a "hi bb." I'm only staying on it just in case a reg comes by to save me while splitting with IML and waiting for indy shows.

I'm working a set schedule now, so hopefully things will even out over the next few days.

I've been easing my way into indy camming over the last few months and clips sales make up the majority of my income these days so I'm just going to focus on those.

MFC was pretty slow for me today. Averaged about $10 per hour. -__- Hopefully tonight is better.
