"post something that everyone might not know about you"

it doesn't have to be interesting, and should be something that is not really expected.

before i found beer, all i did was play soccer. i was the team captain of my travel team from age 12 until i went off to college at 18. from age 11 to about 15 we were really good. we won every tournament we entered and always were first place in the league. after that other solid players just kinda scattered around the area and we never were that good again.

of the 8 years i was on the team (it was the same team the entire time), i was the only player to be on it throughout. we had coaching changes and some players left and came back, but i was the only one on it every season.

I want to be a cop or in some aspect of Law Enforcement. I think it is by far the most interesting day-job around right now which also has practically guaranteed job security, placement, and incredibly sexy retirement.

But I absolutely despise my Criminal Justice degree. Its an incredible waste of time, effort, and money. And its really not interesting whatsoever because out of everything I've been "taught" (and I use that word very loosely) rarely does any of it have any foreseeable, practical use.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

back in the day, before I started playing poker, I used to be one of the top madden players in the country (just trust me on this).

it was kind of like a bridge from starcraft to poker/internet business/unfathomable wealth which I'm still working on

If I used my actual bank account for my bankroll Id have over 4000 buyins for my current level ($25nl).

Also, Im moving back to TX from Vegas and I couldn't be happier about it.

Finally, I have no idea what I'm going to do once I get there.

This rocks pretty hard Miffed. How old were you? I presume it was blindingly obvious how good he was / might be?

I've met Alex James (Blur), Mani (Stone Roses/Primal Scream) and Andy Rourke (Smiths). Some sort of weird bass player thing even though I play guitar.

Ive played top flight bball in Ireland for Notre Dame for one year while pwning college leagues for 4 years straight. only one final win out of 10 finals played

the win was an All-Ireland final.

Since I have retired from Bball altogether.

Might start playing goalie in soccer next season

from 2+2 thread "your most embarrassing story ever." Not sure if this really fits the op for this thread, but w/e.

This one is from a long time ago, and its actually pretty funny I think. My mom is white and my dad is black, I dont look like Im either white or black, not really sure what race I look like. Anyways, I was with my grandma from my dads side, going to the park with a couple of my other siblings, some cousins and some neighborhood kids. Most of these kids are black. I was one of the youngest being around 5 years old, and naturally I was getting picked on. To this day, I have no clue where I got this from, but I just snapped back at one of them, "well at least god didnt leave me in the toaster too long to burn!" It was like time had frozen. I didnt get to play in the park, and when we got back to the apartment I had to go outside and fetch a switch. Yes.. I really had to do this...

I cried all the time about anything that upset me in my youth. Then in grade 6 I was crying about something and thought to myself "You better toughen up you little bitch those junior high kids will destroy you." So after that moment I decided I would never shed a tear again and I honestly haven't.

By knowing how, I mean I can use it as a transportation mechanism. Most people don't bother learning or can't learn because their balance isn't good enough, so I thought it's unique-ish ... Fine maybe it's not cool enough for you, how about I tell a story about how I hurt myself learning! I used to skate to the grocery store back when I didn't have a car and carry the stuff with my on my back on the way home. One time I was going down a nice hill and I didn't see a branch and didn't get out of the way quickly enough ... Lots of blood and to make matters worse, some people coming towards me on the sidewalk, lol. I limped away like nothing happened and went home to search for bandaids.

Anyway, I feel like Lukie now, telling uncool boring stories. I'll stop.

the only cheese I will eat is on pizza (which is my favorite food). I also avoid most white food - no mayo, tartar sauce, sour cream, etc. However, I drink lots of milk and vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor.

I was in a musical in third grade and did a duet with a girl on top of a piano to a song titled "Don't be afraid to be different." Probably the most embarrassing thing I've ever done.

My youth baseball team beat Joe Carters team for the state championship. Later in life I played softball with and against his brothers.

I also at one time had the drug free state record bench press for the powerlifting organization I competed in.

And at the dungeon style gym I worked out at we had a guy who went on to compete for the U.S.A. in the olympics. I helped spot him (along with 3 other guys) while he did 900 pound squats.

I'm old now
