original career plan after the military was to go full-time poker after finding success grinding from 1/2 to 5/10 NLHE and 5/5 PLO

I was so nervous about not being sure if I'd be able to finish my very first marathon that I ran a marathon on my own the weekend before the actual event
-
A friend from Alabama took me gigging once in the middle of the night in Missouri; i'm not sure if anything I've experienced comes close to that one...
-
One Piece is the only manga I still follow only because I'm too committed at this point after starting it back in 2008--I don't even know if I even enjoy it anymore.
