As a child I was a little bit cocky about my personal achievements. I didn't mean to be, but I'm certain I came across that way. It wasn't because I felt my achievements made me better than other people; it was because I simply hadn't been taught the concept of modesty. Interestingly enough, it was a kid in my class in elementary school who first ( Read more... )

People love to watch me experience things. Some of my friends can't wait to tell me stories in person because they want to see my reaction. Some people want to see if tasting their favourite dessert will give me an orgasm face. Personally I've always taken it as a compliment. But what's surprising is how uncommon by comparison it is that people ( Read more... )

I haven't made a Livejournal entry in a year and a half. I had almost forgotten about it, but when I came to Hawaii 9 days ago I decided to write a journal entry for each day. It reminded me of this place, so I logged in a few days ago and read through some of my old entries. It turns out that some of my most precious memories are contained here, ( Read more... )

Livejournal seems to be pretty dead right now, so I thought I'd ask everyone a question I've actually been curious about for a long time. If you had a friend who won the lottery and started paying for you and your friends wherever you went (dinners, movie tickets, drinks, whatever) purely out of the kindness of his/her heart and a desire to make ( Read more... )

I just realized today that I had forgotten about Livejournal for a while. There seems to be a lack of posts from my friends recently, and I'm wondering how many of you still keep up with Livejournal (I'm pretty sure Bonnie, Marika, Steph, Bob, Juju and Liz do, but I'm not too sure about anyone else). I used to enjoy updating here (by "used to" I ( Read more... )

I came home to hear the news I had been expecting for a few days. My brother Benj's wife gave birth to a baby girl a few hours ago. I may not get to see her until the summer, but they sent a picture. She arrived a few days later than expected, so we've been waiting for the news for a while. I remember telling my friends in the summer around a ( Read more... )

That's why I'm the 11 time world champion.

P.S. Spotty yawned.

Today at the casino, I lost a total of $39 playing poker. I also found 73 cents in slot machines, and I won a hi-tech thermos and $60 in gift certificates for Superstore. So, I guess I came out ahead. =D ( Read more... )

Did you know that there is an American loonie? When I cashed out at the casino tonight, one of the loonies they gave me had the statue of liberty on one side and George Washington on the other. I went and showed it to the dealers, inspectors... none of them had ever seen or heard of it. It's the same size as the Canadian loonie, and its year is ( Read more... )

As many of you know, I decided to take time off from working a formal job this summer and play poker as a source of income instead. I thought I'd give one more update on how it's been going since my first update was during a time when my skill was still in its infancy ( Read more... )
