Marriage lost my social life. Poker keeps me sane.

Even more standard than the loss of social life from poker.

Well, you made it a point to link to Masters of War lyrics and made the association in the first place. That's what I was responding to.

Genso,

I didn't take offense at your comments. In my last post, I just tried to reveal my discomfort about the subject. The reason of my mentioning Bob Dylan's song is because Mr. Govman reminded us army songs and the recruiting slogan of the U.S. Army, "Be All You Can Be".. I thought it would be very sarcastic to send a link to "Masters of War", that's all.

Thanks to your respond.

i thought the reason we all played poker is cause it's a super easy way to make lots of $$$; so we should have loads of free time to do [censored]?

instead we spend all day reading 2+2 and grinding [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Standard

I make more money doing less than at any point in my life. I don't have a commute to work. I don't have to get dressed up.

Yet, somehow, I do less other stuff than I did with a full time job and little free time. Seems all I do is eat, sleep, play poker, and think about playing poker.

To the OP: I just moved to a new city where I don't know anyone or speak the language very well. Instead of trying really hard to meet people or get better at German, I end up just playing poker all day in my apt.

German chicks are hot! Most of them are into very kinky stuff as well.

With all my respect for Govman's efforts, i think he takes advantage of every opportunity to evangelize his political opinions.

I LOL'ed at this.

1) I'm in Iraq now and hate it.
2) Anyone who joins the Armed Services now is crazy
3) 15 month deployments and not a guarentee of a year home.

Joining the Armed Services is Problably Silly right now especially if you actually studied for more than 2 hours a year in high school.

BUT

1) In this forum we have nothing but addictive personality disorders.
2) No Order in their Life
3) No More Money left
4) Possibly suicidal because they are retarded and think they have no way out.

The armed services will provide a solution to most of those problems.

If I had to join the service I'd join the coast guard or something not the Army or such.

Iraq is a craphole and it's too freaken hot right now.
I dont' suggest your ordinary joe to sign up.

Just the people who spam this forum with their suicide notes. Busto with no way out notes. And how they just can't stop gambling notes.

Joing a Service will solve their problems.

If you suck at poker and lose 300 bucks a week but are making 1000 bucks a week and poker just makes you miserable.
Or you had a bad week or blah blah then yes you dont' need to change your life around. Take a few shrink pills and talk to Dr. Katz
