What do you do for a living?

[Ghost]

Warehousing and Logistics Manager for a small company.

Also a Service Manager / Tech Support for the same company.



And no, I do not get paid enough.

[Spicoli]

I rearrange the chairs, coordinate events and handle staff affairs on the deck of the Titanic

I hunt armed men...Considering leaving active duty for a job in Texas and a sweet National Guard gig. I have a BA in history and am working on a master in military science. Prior to the military I ran a bar and before that I worked for the school district with at risk youth.

And what is the topic of your master paper?

I just started after the new year and AMU had some course requirements I had to complete first so I haven't started my paper yet. I have put the program on hold during my deployment. I had been doing some research on the characteristics of successful and unsuccessful counterinsurgency throughout history. I may decide to go with this topic or a variety of it but I am also thinking strongly on the failures of nation building by the west from a military point of view.

That would be fascinating to research and to read.

And do you plan on focusing on a specific time period to compare the failed/successful counterinsurgency or you want to compare more or less some famous of these moments through history at large? That is an interesting topic indeed, let me know once you start to write it and at some point, I would be interested to read it, military history so to speak has always been one of my lecture's hobby.

[VictorCharlie]

I was going to use some examples throughout history.

Jewish revolts in the Roman Empire
American Revolution
Soviet experience in Afghanistan and Chechnya
IRA
Vietnam
Mexican rebels in Chiapas
U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq

maybe more, maybe less

I own souls. That means, I take people's money in a systematic day to day mathematical way. In short, i play poker online and am pretty good at it.

I just recently took a pretty bad hit though from the United Stated Dept. of Justice. They confiscated all mine, along with many others and their own countries people's bankrolls. It seems they like to want to tell people not only of their nation what they can do with their own money from their own homes, but the people of the entire world.

The tally was upwards of 150 million+, likely closer to 300 million when they shut down Full Tilt Poker. I made the mistake of having too many funds on there at the time. No one expected them to try to force their liberty taking bs upon the world, just American citizens. But alas. they did.

I still play on various other sites, but it was my main place and I lost a shit ton of money. Am a very sad puppy. It would be the eqivalent of say working for 6 months, and having every penny you worked 10-12 hrs a day for, simply taken from you.

There is a hearing going on next week, involving the owners (who were crooks), the licensing committee in Aldernay, the United States DOJ and a potential buyer of the company. We should find out then if we get our money back, or basically are all fucked. It doesn't look good.

You really are testing yourself out lately hey Young fella!

You should come out wiser and stronger and be able to help others not fall into the same traps at the very least. Good luck with it all.

I belive if you have an air about you,(a feeling of yes its going to happen) of winning, it will come to you.

Ive seen it first hand many times ,even in poker with Joe Hashim the night before he left to win that 20 million some 5 years ago, I was already putting a marble fire surround in his bedroom (his family were already doing it,celebrating and happy like it had already happened)! When I'd finished the job I wished him luck and you could just see he had ticked every box possible,that dude was already half way up the home straight.On another note; I belive also that when you try to keep it, the flow stops.

This last year has probably been small steps here for you, a side path to a road to something better. And shit happens along the way too mate,you just have to get back up and go on and leave it behind you. Ive just had some nasty stuff go down here thats going to cost me and stop me doing other plans for a while, all cause I took a chance and didnt insure for my daughter to drive my car. dumb risk, it didnt pay off.

If you want I can send you something thats an old path, made into modern words called the three keys to life. its an exersize (that you have to do mentally and physically) in knowing what you want, faith to implement it and control of the mind through the mind into feeling it. Then you can own it. Its a bit like setting up all your magnets at what you wish for.

ha yea, it's been a hell of a year for sure. I know lots of people are going through hardships so I don't like to go on about it. I mean, I'm just a single guy and my troubles are my own, so pale in comparison to those with families and stuff. But yea, I'm trying to look at it as a learning experience, all of it.

And sure Andre, I'll read anything you want to share with me. Would appreciate it.
