I can tell you've got potential, but it's not coming through much.

A few things:

1. Most importantly, be much more concerned about the subject and composition than the "look" of the photograph. You seem focused on portraiture; a good portrait either says something about the person or somehow lets them address something to the camera and ultimately the viewer of the photograph.

2. Drop the borders.

3. Make your pictures primarily in the camera, not in Photoshop. I don't mean at all not to use photograph or not to post-process, but a boring photo about nothing or very little will be a boring photo about nothing or very little no matter how cool it looks. Learn about exposure, depth of field, and so on (Wikipedia will teach you the basic technical side of all this in under an hour, seriously) if you haven't already and buy a manual camera so you can put this into practice. It doesn't have to be expensive; most of Canon's Powershot line has manual controls and all of them are good cameras for whatever sort of camera they are, and Panasonic's Lumix line has three stand-out cameras (The FZ-50, the FZ-8, and the LX-2). I also understand Fuji makes and Konica-Minolta made some really good cameras, but I know less about those.

4. Study the works of great photographers and other great visual artists- painters, etc. Composition is vital, and the only way to really develop a talent for it (which it seems you might have) is to study other people doing it and go practice it yourself.

Your best shots are:

All of them, however, except http://flickr.com/photos/thefuturefight/447967305/ are hurt by over-processing, and that one would do much better in black and white. You want people to notice the photograph, not "OMG PHOTOSHOOPED COLORS 'N CONTRAST."

and

have the most potential. Try doing subtler editing on the originals. Black and white would help both.

Good luck.

the car looks more interesting than the model...more of the car pls!

but seriously, try to make her look a little more enthusiastic about standing on a broken car in a field. work with your models and make them more dynamic!

Mostly what I see is you don't have very interesting models. I think you have a lot of decent concepts in mind, but you get lost in trying to develop a "style". Work on composition and finding somebody who will play around, or just take pictures of objects instead of people. I think you're getting to the right idea, though.
