You don't need the HTML here. Just put in double spaces instead... good luck on your hunt. I'd stay away from odesk and try to build up your personal relationships with folks. Find some local meetups if possible... even if you have to drive to a larger city.

Edit: Go re-read your resume. The opening paragraph is too long. Focus on things you have accomplished. You are too self depreciating... remove the stuff about IRC and how you had to break your bad habits. You are not selling yourself well. More self confidence in your presentation of yourself will go a long way.
