What can you do Punchinella?

I am living in a never-ending nightmare….

Did you ever play that game as a kid when a group of children would form a circle, and someone would stand in the middle of the circle, and the kids would start singing:

Oh look who’s here Punchinella Punchinella, Oh look who’s here Punchinella from the zoo.

Oh what can you do Punchinella Punchinella, Oh what can you do Punchinella from the zoo.

Oh we can do it too Punchinella Punchinella, Oh we can do it too Punchinella from the zoo.

The person in the middle of the circle would then have to start showing off her talents when asked “What can you do Punchinella”.

I just remembered that game as I was sitting here trying to figure out if it is the case in reality that I am completely unqualified for everything under the sun, or if I’m just beating myself up because of my inability to catch a break. Am I just completely talentless and is that the real reason for my unending financial struggles?

I still can’t figure out how I got to this point. A few years ago my web development business was thriving. I was landing $10,000 projects. I had a software product on the market that hundreds of people were using to build their online dating business. Cut to the present and I can barely manage to make a $5 per week. I’m having one of those moments when my mind is telling me to drink strychnine and get it over and done with.
