About sweepstakes for Xbox360 thing

  • #1

    I just want to say that it sucks that I can't enter to try and win this special xbox360 minceraft edition for my kid for a few reasons... one I am unemployed meaning I am broke I can't afford the paid member so I think its unfair to everyone that can't be a paid member it should be open to anyone... I am fighting for disability and have been for five years now the lawyers say the appeals can take another three years so its not easy or fair...to her or to me we don't have TV we don't have a game player the one we had apparently broke... it was a very old PS 2 anyhow...we have old computers that I have gotten from a friend of a friend that don't need them anymore so they have lots of issues it took me a month just to save up money to get minecraft for her for her birthday... I don't normally fuss about anything so sorry for the rant I am I just think its a little unfair that its not available for anyone to try to win I mean ... I can't even afford internet its in my rent so the line sucks...so playing games is not easy for us we don't get many of the good ones and a game system like this would be great... even if it took me three months to get the money to get her one game ... but I can never ever be able to buy her one so I was looking forward to being able to try to win one for her... even one of those alienwares would be awesome... but it will never happen cause I can't even afford your lowest price... cause I don't have enough money each month in my bank account for it...hell I am wondering where I will get bus money...to go to doctors... its not something I am happy or proud of and frankly its the worst situation I have ever been in but its just me and my daughter ... I have raised her done the best I could worked any art job I could find for the lowest wages you could imagine ...then I am at her school and fall and break my knee in a freak accident after being on unemployment for a year cause I was let go after a greyhound bus hit me and I was making mistakes cause I was in pain and missed too many days of work... they didn't care one bit... that I am forever on nerve and pain meds and have to use a cane and can't walk a block without being in pain ... I can draw anything in the world at the drop of a hat but no one will ever know my talents or see my skills but local friends and little things here and there... cause I just can't do it full time any more and can't find anyone to let me do graphic work or fine art work or for that matter anything... I have lost my car, lost my wife she killed herself this past march cause she couldnt take it anymore, I have lost two of my other kids to CPS cause they weren't legally mine they were hers so I will never see there faces again and one is five years old now...I moved five states to come to this job that fired me a year later and didn't even have to tell me why and I never did a damn thing bad work wise I just missed some time off cause I had kidney stones and chronic pain and migraines from the damn bus hitting me and jarring things I didn't know I had...and causing issues that I didn't have before...so I am away from my mother 1000 miles from all the people I grew up with and cousins and such... all cause it paid more than any job I had ever had before I thought I had finally made it where I belonged... now my kid is in 11th grade she has anxiety issues and ADD issues and wants to be a game artist or animater but I can't get her the new programs she needs to learn to be what she wants... she has seen so much that she is tired of the school system tired of the work system tired of the real world and she hasn't even gotten out in it yet because she has seen what it has done to me...she looks at her mom with three degrees that can't even make ends meat and she tells me mom I want to quit school I want to drop out so I can just draw all day so I can make clay figures and make videos and make art and sell them on the internet... I am like but then you won't finish the Digital Media Tech School you are in you won't be the Game Artist you won't go to college she tells me what good did it do you mom... where did it get you... I am like what do I tell her... how can I get her undepressed when I am depressed myself in a world that wants money here and money there and I know you have to make a living too... but its just a sweepstakes to win something that might make her happy and a little less depressed in a world of bull and messed up stuff... sorry for the rant not sure what came over me...I have to let it out ....it just got to me... all this fighting to make a better life for her and she wants to give up before she gets started... .... well I will go now  I don't expect and answer I don't expect anyone to understand  I don't expect anything just had to voice how I feel that is all...

    As stated in the rules of the sweepstakes, we allow mail in entries.  You would need to mail in your full name, address, daytime phone number, date of birth, and Curse.com username to our office stating it's for the Minecraft Xbox contest.  You can find more information here: http://www.curse.com/sweeps/minecraft-xbox#entry-info:entry-rules, under "3. How to Enter".  The second paragraph will contain more information.

       If all you want is a gaming system it shouldn't be a big deal at all that it isn't the minecraft one.  If you're really going through all this then you have my sympathy, but it seems if your story is true, going on minecraft forums to talk about it over an xbox would be the least of your worries.  I'm positive there are sweepstakes ending every-single day for you to have the chance to win a regular xbox360 console. I'm pretty sure you have to be prmium due to the fact that this console would be a great luxury due to the fact there is only 3 of them made.  above all, if you have internet access then you could post your art to websites for art and get noticed that way, there is plenty of websites and companies looking for great talent just get your work out there.
