For the past year or 2, my personality has definately changed. While I was always somewhat of a loner, I have been noticing myself being... nothing. Things that were once fun, while still sometimes fun, bore me very quickly. I cannot recall any activity that I enjoy. I went to a psychiatrist a few times a couple months ago and while it was just ( Read more... )

If my job in the future or something doesn't work out, I'll always have this fallback plan:

Live in Las Vegas and work as a magician part time and use that money to fund my card counting.

Yea, I think thats a great fallback job.

PS: Oh yea, and I made another 300 from Turning Stone Casino today. 500 up so far =D

With some influence from 21, my love of cards, and love for beating systems, I have learned how to count cards. And I've got to say its pretty cool. Ive actually gone to the casinos like twice with small min bets since driving for 2 hrs each way actually costs more than how much I would make from BJ unless I have more money haha. But yea. I've ( Read more... )

If you believe in God, I have already written a paper a while ago. Here is the link. http://legolas-i-haran.livejournal.com/131003.html#cutid1. Although I am fairly sure that it is stated in the Bible that free will exists, It was written for my Philosophy ( Read more... )

If we could slow down time, would our thinking slow as well?Warning: While I may have thought about this question extensively before, I am writing with no plans and therefore may seem random. I have edited this by recalling things that I have written and I have not reread this essay. I may answer the question multiple times, possibly in ( Read more... )

I completely forgot. Quite a big change possibly coming up. So, my mom's friend is on the Board of Trustees at Chapman University (which really isn't all that great of a school), which means that I have the opportunity to go there. So, as long as I am accepted, which is most likely, ill probably be going there. Its a big change and Im pretty ( Read more... )

Im watching the 2008 National Heads Up Poker Championships and I am loving it. I have always been a big fan of poker, as I still play it regularly whenever I am in Wayne. At first, it was friendly games between usually myself, Won, Dan Krause, Dustin Kucko, and Justin Huyhn. Later it got into late nights almost daily for weeks at a time with an ( Read more... )

Its been a while since I have posted in this journal, and still there is really nothing to say. Spring break was this week and I went to California. But this was no ordinary trip, this was a trick from my parents to try and convince me to be a lawyer. And to be honest, a lawyer sounds pretty ok. After some thought, I realized that I hate ( Read more... )

Back home from school. Going to Cali on Friday. Interesting issue with sleep schedule: While I can fall asleep in <5 minutes in RPI, can't fall asleep at home within 20 minutes.

So, ive been on polyphasic sleep for a little more than 2 weeks. And I found at least 1 side effect from it. Before polyphasic sleeping, the standard routine was: 1. Wake up 2. Do stuff 3. Go to sleep 4. repeat. One major part of it was that during the "repeat" step, a new day has commenced. So I got into the habit that goign to sleep meant ( Read more... )
