Joey Arnold David Lyonz,
I want to work as a tutor like I am now, and continue to do that as a
teacher/tutor as my own boss and not for a school. I want to make sure I
can have a place where I can make my own videos, live streams. I may be
willing to live in Vietnam, the USA<
or anywhere. Where I live is not the most important thing. THe msot
important thing for me is the ability to maximize my ability to
broadcast myself the more the better. I want to have some kind of room
or office.... I want the convenience of not a lot of travel or daily
commute.... my goal and requirements in life is maybe just that.... I
want just a room where I can do the computer video wifi thing.... and
maybe teach online.... maybe teach some people that come see me.... I am
still thinking.... the details are very fuzzy......

David Lyonz Why
don't all you haters move on and find someone else to pick on. Go back
to your beer or your porn or whatever else you do. If you don't have
anything helpful to say, don't insult the guy. Joey's just looking for a
way out of his situation. You don't
need to be assholes. Unless insulting a homeless guy is how you get your
kicks in life. Your stupid memes aren't appropriate in this thread. If
you wanna help him, give him some encouragement, or offer him some work.
I'm sure he can operate a photocopier, sort papers, run errands etc.
He's not asking for much. But what he's not asking for is to be
insulted.

Bart Hamilton You overstayed your visa by 2 years. Dude, you're gonna get deported. Real smart posting it on social media

Joey Arnold Police
already know. I already talked to the police. They did not deport me.
They told me to leave. They already know. Everybody knows already. You
are not smart. You think I do not know that. That makes you very dumb.
You have no idea who I am and what I do.

David Lyonz He's
sincere. We all know Joey. He's just a down on his luck dude with a few
problems in life that prevent him from keeping pace with others
sometimes. He's looking for some sympathy, advice and assistance. What
he's not looking for is smartarse dickheads on Facebook to abuse him,
laugh at him and taunt him.

David Lyonz Joey.
You are whinging. I understand it. Anyone would feel bad in your
situation. But you are. If you want to pick yourself up and get back on
with your life, go ahead and do it. I respect you for asking for help
and being sincere, but this approach won't
work. When I was down on my luck once many years ago, I was down to my
last 10,000 dong, living in a small apartment in District 8 by myself. I
had a tough decision about whether to spend my last 10,000d on a can of
tuna or a bottle of whiskey. I chose the whiskey, (I already had more
tuna at home) but then I went home and posted on Phu My Hung Neighbours,
listing my skills, my career experience and asking if anyone needed a
photographer, a writer, a programmer etc.
I got two offers. The first was from a young Vietnamese guy. He said he just wanted to meet someone new and chat. He said he didn't have any work for me but he invited me out for a meal anywhere I wanted. I choose an Indian restaurant in District 1 and we went there and talked for hours about many topics. He told me he didn't have many friends because he was sort of busy with work and he didn't know many people here. I invited him to a pool party and BBQ that weekend hosted by my good friend Eduard Rascheur (Do you remember that night Ed ? The police came after some white guy stole his own motorbike out of the parking lot after losing his ticket) where we had a great bbq, mingled with girls and I introduced him to some of my friends.
The next day I got asked if I'd come and do some product shoots for a Japanese guy who worked for a big import company selling products like mosquito nets and other things. I made a bit of money off that. It paid for my food for a month.
The day after I got an email from a guy in the Philippines asking about some code I'd put online for free to fingerprint and identify similar images. He wanted me to adapt it to suit his network of image upload sites. That job paid for my rent for the next month.
The point is that I didn't go online saying "Life is hopeless. I'm a loser. Why don't you all kick me while I'm down ?" I went out there with a positive attitude, told people my skills and said "Is there anything I can do for you ?"
Sometimes people will offer you a job. Sometimes people will just ask for someone to hang out with for a night. People want to meet positive people, not negative people. I went from no money, to having a new friend and two new jobs that kept me going for the next month with minimal work, and then I went seeking other opportunities.
There's no need to cry about what's STOPPING you from putting your life back together, because the only thing stopping you is YOU.

David Lyonz If
you haven't worked out how to make your life work out here after this
many years then you need to consider going back to your own country and
getting a job at McDonalds. It might not be ideal, and it might not be
where you want to live, but if you haven't "made it" here by now, then
it's time to try and get home. Your embassy WILL help you, so don't lie
about that. You just aren't doing what they request of you. They require
you to make an effort to save yourself first by contacting family
members and friends back home to ask if anyone can help you fix your
visa problems and get home. When you do, you can get back to your
country and pick up a job and live again.
Maybe an English teacher in SE Asia isn't what life had in mind for you. It might be time to accept that and consider another life. Before you die.

David Lyonz This is called "How to make friends and connections" 
:)
I was still pretty new to Saigon myself at that point and I hadn't
quite worked things out. I left a couple of months after that to
re-group and re-think about what I wanted to do, and I changed my
career, ditching journalism for education. I'm now swinging back
towards journalism a lot more. Sometimes you have to make some evaluate
your life and think "Ok this isn't working. What else can I do that
might work better ?" and then you give that a try instead. But in the
meantime you keep living, maintain your support network, hang out with
friends and enjoy life. Maintaining a positive mental attitude is the
key to enjoying life in a foreign country. Something that a lot of
people seem to fail miserably at despite being otherwise successful
enough to feed themselves.

David Lyonz The
key to a successful, happy, fulfilled life is "Ikigai". It concerns the
four elements of life; passion, mission, profession and vocation. What
you're good at, what the world needs, what you love and what you can be
paid for. It's important to find a
balance in order to attain personal enlightenment. Mere money and
success will not bring you happiness. You need to have community and
personal fulfilment as well. This is how you life a full, rich life that
has meaning and that helps the world around you as well as yourself at
the same time.

David Lyonz Sometimes
what you love isn't what you can get paid for. But maybe it's what the
world needs. Other times you simply choose what you're good at so that
you can get paid and then you spend your free time doing what you love
and what the world needs. Only the rare few can ever achieve perfect
ikigai, balancing the needs of themselves, the world, the love, and
their finances.
Ganbarou, Joey.

Amy Lee I
have seen people were mocking you through comments and even their
posts. I know cause some of them they were my facebook friends. Those
who goes to cheap pub everynight, who rely on her boy friend for sending
her house monthly fee. Compared to them you are much better. Beside You
are doing a good thing to teach english to vietnamese people.
