Win A Date With ForchMan!!!!

Depression is a bitch-mistress to which escape from is completely difficult.

I should know. I have been coping with depression for quite a number of years, more so in the last year (And for obvious reasons) I have had to attempt to elevate my depression to a level that I won't sink below. I have had a very difficult time staying afloat (Both financially and personally) in the last year, and I think that I am about sick and tired of it.

It's funny. Those of you who know me, know me as the ultimate pessimist. And I am. I always look at the worst in things. I've always lived with the motto: "Expect the worst, because that way, when it happens, you're not disappointed." I live my life that way in virtually every aspect of my life except 2.

The first is my relationship with Chloe. She keeps me afloat emotionally. She is the one thing in this world that I ever did right. Everything else that lead to her being here may have been wrong, but Chloe is the one thing that I had done right, and I am very proud of that.

The second is when I meet someone. When I meet someone that I really like, I always try very hard to maintain a positive frame of mind. I am nice, I may crack jokes that are not always appropriate, but I always try very hard to be a good, and positive person.

Until the first "Chink in the Armor" appears.

And then after that, yeah. Forch becomes the same Forch that he usually is. Weak-willed and pessimistic. Someone who's going to expect to get screwed over (And usually does) because he knows what lurks in people's hearts. Why I am speaking in the third person, I will never know, but the fact remains that my life, when it comes to most things is a miserable failure, to which very few people have reached that level. Dating, is right at the top of the list.

That is why I started writing my book: "You're a nice guy, But.... (Finding Success In My Failures with Women)". It was a way for me to not only get some self-analysis, but as well to maybe help get the word out, and perhaps help a few people along the way. Lord knows that I have enough material to fill a book, and at the rate I am going, it appears that the amount of material is only ever-increasing.

So I have decided to have one final, last ditch effort at realizing my dream, which is to just find someone and be in love with them (I don't think that is asking for too much, but apparently it is).

I am bringing back the "Win a Date with ForchMan" contest.

Is this a sad, and pathetic gesture? You're damn right it is.

This is my way of basically giving myself one last chance, before I completely give up. And yes, I know that I have said that before, but this time I REALLY MEAN IT! How do I mean it, you say? Let's just say that, I have something planned to signify my end of searching for love, which will be unveiled once this is complete.

The Details?? Simple.

Part 1. The first part of the contest, is going to involve you commenting to this very blog, stating why you'd actually want to go out with me on a Date/relationship.

Simple Enough? No. Because there is a catch. First. There has to be at least 100 words in the comment (I will count) and in addition to that, there has to be no references to "How nice of a guy I am" or anything to do with my looks. I am sick of everything having to be about my looks, so if you want to go out with me, you have to find some non-superficial reason to.

The Top 5 (Which I will be lucky to get 3 responses to this drivel) Will be awarded points. The best one getting 50 points, while the others getting points ranging from 40 for second, to 10 for fifth.

Part 2. Is going to involve the utilization of the website: FACEINHOLE. Basically, I want you to FACEINHOLE a picture of you and I together, it doesn't matter which picture, but the points will be awarded on creativity, and originality.

You then have to mail them to me at forchman@hotmail.com

Same Point Structure applies, only the most original, does get a 10 point bonus, and that doesn't mean that the first place one will get the most original...

Part 3. The third part of the contest will be, for some, the most difficult. It involves you taking a picture of yourself, making grilled cheese. Once again, point structure is the same, and this time, the best smile gets a 10 point bonus...

You then have to mail them to me at forchman@hotmail.com

Part 4. The final part of the contest will consist of a quiz, consisting of 26 questions about me. Point structure stays the same, and there will be opportunities for bonus points, and offers for answers to be offered up as a bonus.

You can get the quiz from me at forchman@hotmail.com

So good luck.... I await to see the results!!!

But that's just my opinion... What do I know???
