Trouble in Paradise

A little trouble today on several bike fronts, just makes it hard to focus only riding. Finding a 12mm hex wrench seems to be harder than expected to rebuild my Easton rear wheel, and apparently ordering a pair of race wheels was much more of a hassle than I had imagined. I'm conflicted on how I feel about that second one, as I don't want to be the guy who's just asking for everything, or feels like he's entitled to the world, but on the other hand, I do feel like asking people follow up on their obligations isn't a lot to ask.
All I really want to do is ride my bike; I need to find a way to facilitate that desire to a greater degree than the current situation.
Wheels, tt equipment, race or travel costs, any help on these would be better. Part of me thinks I should just try to go out and recruit sponsors for myself, most of me just wants to be on a team that has all of those already in place. I'd like to think that will be happening in the next year, but I have no way of knowing whether it will or not. How do I find a team with interest, how do we make those interests meet, how do I make it happen, MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
I guess the answer is that I can't make it happen, I just have to ride my bike the best I can and know that the rest will just have to fall into place, however it is supposed to happen. As may be apparent, I'm incredibly impatient and I'd like for things to be settled.
Race, ride, race, ride, race, ride, coffee (more of that between the racing and riding...maybe there should be 2 coffees between each race and ride).
