No real commentary other than I've been insanely busy with school and work. Last week I didn't even finish a whole block. The week before I put in a good (but not leaderboard worthy) performance. Monthly totals at the end of this one as well.

I'm just not sure WHAT to make of this mess ( Read more... )

The year went really well, all said and done. I made my goal. $0 became $100, but only barely. I don't have data from more than six weeks ago, which I feel was a mistake.

I've heard from the forums on FTP that he's working on making $1,000 out of $0 by playing freerolls to win his ( Read more... )

The War on Drugs was designed to cut the drug flow into the nation, essentially to starve junkies of their drugs and force the nation to go cold turkey. Any rehab clinician can tell you what the success and relapse rates are for this manner of treatment, but Congress is the last group of people on earth who'd listen to people who know what they're ( Read more... )
