Hoping I can expand my role towards the business side in the future though. I don't want to be a code monkey for life.

Highlights that I remember include:

A group consisting of 2-3 members of 'slipknot' and 2 DJ's, I think calling themselves 'biohazard' (or something like that) comes onto the main-stage and plays crazy hardcore music. I jump into a giant mosh-pit, rolling so hard that when I take a full-blown haymaker to the face, I think it's the most awesome thing that could have happened.

Steve-O and the other crazy long-haired guy from Jackass come out, and do some stupid ****. Steve-O tells the crowd about ODB smoking dust with his pants down back-stage. They bring a guy and girl on stage, blindfold the guy and tell the girl to kick him in the nuts. Girl kicks like a pussy and Steve-O tells her to try again, but pushes her out of the way and kicks kid in nuts himself. I swear I can hear his testicles pop. They want someone to come up from the crowd and chug from a bottle of Jose Cuervo. A kid gets up and pounds a couple good swigs. I'm impressed but Steve-O calls him a pussy and asks if there are any real men in the crowd. A guy gets on stage so ****ed up that another sip of alchohol may kill him. He pounds the ENTIRE bottle of Jose. Later reports claim he was seen being taken away on a stretcher with blood coming out of his eyes.

ODB comes on stage, and thankfully he has his pants on. He proceeds to yell "Whhiiitttteee peeeeoopllleeeee" over and over into the mic. They send out some other rap group to try to cover, but ODB refuses to leave the stage and continues to yell into the mic about drugs and white people.

The party gets shut down early because it's apparantly too out of control. Police on horseback push the mob down the street with their horses. We continue to party with some people playing music out their car. When the sun starts coming up we smoke a blunt in central park.

Good times . . .
. so much awesome here, I've forwarded this post to a couple buds already!

Why would you look forward to it?

It's hard to describe how I was feeling. I guess "caged tiger" comes close. Or that speech in every gangster movie where the gangster considers going into protective custody somewhere in middle america.

I'm sure I'll get used to it but in time but right now I'm feeling pretty morose about the whole thing.

Paul Valente for President.

I had to wiki ODB because I don't know that much about him. Here are some interesting items.
1. he is dead
2. He died of a drug overdose from cocaine and tramadol.
3. He had 13 kids
4. He was the first felon convicted in CA for wearing a bullet proof vest.
5. His FBI file was released in 2012 and he was connected to 3 murders, a shoot-out with NYPD and a RICO investigation against the Wu-Tang Clan.

Damn, he was an ol dirty bastard.

A bunch of reasons. BF destroyed most of my roll and the games where I made my money (bumhunting hu lhe). It doesn't seem likely that poker is getting any better so I don't fancy my chances at starting over and making it to mid-high stakes again since 6-max lhe is dying fast and I didn't spend enough time getting good at that. I tried mass multitabling NL for a while, was break even before RB over a few hundred k hands and hated every minute of it.

Like Danny Glover said, I'm too old for this ****.

A job offers me way higher hourly, financial security and some sort of long-term plan.

And now to lighten the mood (probably nsfw):

You really need to ask this? Do you want me to insult your intelligence by answering it?

Re: ***Official SSSH LC/NC Thread for April***

And I really appreciate people who actually think about statistics and analyze them instead of just spouting them out to prove a point. Bellatrix did this well to the "50%+ marriages result in divorces". You can make statistics do whatever the **** you want and not be lying, but not really paiting a true picture of what you are implying.

Quote:
And even if so, it doesn't mean that 50% of PEOPLE that marry will end up divorcing. That figure is much lower, like a third. It's the serial wedders that really drive the percentage of marriages ending in divorce up. Not a real insight that people that suck at marriages will continue to suck at marriages. People marrying for the first time will divorce about 33%, people marrying for the third time will end up divorcing about 75%.

I believe he was also shot in the back on several occasions totalling over 9 shots. He refused to move out of the ghetto despite making a ton of money.
