Yeah, i know. I suck.

You don't suck. You're just new and made some novice mistakes.
You focused your attention on effects, and neglected your focal.
I suggest only doing this with landscape, smudge, or abstract pieces
If you are new with Ps you're doing ok, just observe tutorials and pick up anything you can.
