Thanks, guys.

I have generally learned a lot more things about different kinds of people, to the point that when I see someone do something weird in real life I'm not surprised anymore.

I also know how to solve every car accident related problem in the world.

I gained a lot of general knowledge that makes people think I'm smart.

Music, Books (game of thrones <3), and Movies that I would have never seen before, you could say I've become snobbier.

washing hair first - i don't even remember the reasoning behind or when this discussion happened, but i used to wash my hair last, but now i wash it first. I've never heard of anyone doing this.

cooking bacon in the oven is awesome. perfect overall crispiness, and stays flat.

you never heard of anyone washing their hair first, or washing it last?

If I ever find myself at Home Depot while there's ever a fight-to-the-death Battle Royale going on, I'm the only one coming out of that bitch alive.

+1 to the Wire and memes, as well as the great suggestions that people have shared and discussed in all the film/book threads.

Mostly baseball stuff, and the flipping sandwich thing I utilize as well.

2p2 is one of my biggest influences in my life lol. poker and 2p2 has exposed me to different cultures. 2p2 has people from all over and it really gives you a perspective on how life can be different. the most important thing was learning the concept of variance. it allowed me to not be results oriented and emotional over things i can't control. i think it's a really important concept to understand in obtaining happiness.

2+2 changed my life: I became better at poker and smarter as a person, I have met some of the most intelligent and funny people here, I have experienced a bunch of stuff that if were it not for 2+2 I wouldn't have, I have matured as a person because of my experience with other users, etc

I still dont shave in the shower tho

How do you shave in the shower? Do you do it blind or did you go as far as mounting a fog less mirror

I dumped the girl I was having an affair with. What really struck me was the topic created by ChadAces and the dilemma he was in. You know what I'm talking about - the guy that likes to pick ponies at the track. The old guy that was banging the Loch Ness Monster.

There's fogless mirrors but those usually suck, I've shaved enough that I can do it blind.

It made me a decent chunk of change playing poker and then made me realize to quit when i was slowly moving to become the fish.

It influenced me to go to Thailand, that was great; and to buy a watch that was very expensive, not so great.

Made me a little less dumb, a little more opinion-educated, and made me waste a ton of time but who cares.

So what's the deal with these two things again? I must've had to work those days.

Edit: ****, shouldn't have grunched.

H&F has been great for teaching me to work out properly. Also made a little money back when poker was easy.

In Nov 2002, PokerStars posted a job ad here, which I applied for and got. This led to me quitting my existing job and moving to Costa Rica. So, instead of living in the dull prairies of Western Canada working 9-5, I've travelled extensively and worked in one of the more interesting and fastest growing companies in the world for the last 8 years.
