so does it look like my iMac is ok???
Byron,
your etrecheck report shows that you have clean my mac installed. That is very bad news. I will try to find someone's post on how to remove it (it is a little difficult to do it and I don't know the steps) - I'll post back when I find it or someone else may be able to post it. Make sure you follow the insructions.
while you're waiting, do a search here in the forums about clean my mac.
Ok, here are two discussions - read them both:
ok thanks
I would, also, disable the TechTool protection on your drive,
It really isn't needed and could be causing some of your slowdown issues, too!
The other big problem is that you have Genieo adware or at least some component thereof:
[loaded] com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
Please look at this web page and the linked adware removal tool:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
Genieo has an uninstaller but DO NOT use it. It will not fully remove all components. Use either the instructions in the article I linked or the associated removal tool.
You also have a lot of login items:

Determine what you can live without and get rid of them. Even with 8GB RAM you are preloading the system with a lot of dreck every time you start the computer. Set the goal of reducing those items to 1/3 of what is there now.
You have another known adware that gets bundled with stuff from some unscrupulous downloads sites--GoPhoto.it:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-gophotoit/
The SafeMac tools should remove it but read the article to avoid future incursions.
As Babowa pointed out, CleanMyMac must go. But you have so much 3rd party software installed it's hard to know where to begin.
Start by removing CleanMyMac and Arcana.pram (which is not supported on Mavericks). Then do a Safe Start and lets see if the crashing improves in Safe mode.
Byron,
I missed some of the other stuff other people pointed out (especially Genieo - bad stuff!) - you really don't need all those things, especially at startup. Everything you add will need some of the resources of the system to run and make it go slower. A computer only has so much power all in all, the more stuff you add, the slower it can go. And remember, yours is a 2009, so it's not the latest/fastest processor. That doesn't mean that it won't last, but you need to be a little careful with how much you throw at it - remember I told you a long time ago that you were installing too many things? Well, I think it's time to do a little spring cleaning, ok?
Now, both the clean my mac and genieo are not good - they mess with the system and tend to cause more harm than good. Those two need to go for sure - be very careful and read every link that we posted and follow the directions because those two are a little difficult to get rid of. The rest of the stuff - it'll be your decision, but most of it does not need to be a startup item - you can start it when you need it.
If you do all that, your computer should be fine and it'll help get rid of the freezing issues. If you encounter a problem uninstalling those two bad ones or don't understand the instructions, post back, ok? You can do this!
My iMac Computer keeps freezing
