Some lighthearted talk here plus this will make sure that I can read this again sometime as it's a good story, at least for me. If it wasnt for posting all those apartment stories I would forget almos

I debated posting this, because I might be overdoing this topic this week, but I made a sort of personal promise to myself that I am going to promote more positivity and try to never be negative or pu

Danny.... Thats a great attitude to have, and you will be amazed at the progress Owen can make with that kind of attitude and persistence on your part. On Feb 4, 2003, the diagnosis I got was that

small perk from FCP is that the publisher sent me the book a few years ago. I haven't seen the movie but I did read the book and I highly recommend it. Toby Maguire was in most of the games and is a big winner and a dick. Ben Affleck was an occasional player.

 

Edit: the book uses all real names

My sis said the "rumors" were that Maguire was the consensus "Player X" in the movies. Makes sense.

 

Might have to go find that book now.

 

here's the conversation that we had in the general poker forum when the book came out

I could not agree more. That was a heart wrenching, really moving doc. I guess I started to watch because I felt a sentiment for the songs of my youth, but the doc on its own was really well done.

 

For those that follow me on twitter, I rt'ed the go fund me page, something I rarely do, but felt compelled to.

2 really good documentaries that I watched on Netflix recently:

 

The Barkley Marathons: About a grueling amateur bush race. considered by some to be the toughest race in the world. Only 10 or 11 people have even finished it in the 25 year history of the race (40 entrants each year). Really interesting, entertaining doc.

 

Icarus: The director sets out to make what would have been a mildly interesting but forgettable documentary about doping in the cycling world, but he ends up embroiled in the Russian Olympic doping scandal.

I assume she is doing her program here in Toronto. CMU = Central Michigan University

I remember back in the day. If you wanted to meet Allen Iverson, all you had to do was go to Subway across from the hotel the night before the game (in Toronto). He would be sitting there eating dinner. Just pull up a chair and he would talk to you.
