Thx bros.

Love everything you guys wrote… the support is wicked.

I’ve failed so many times and I believe that is why I finally won something major. I kept coming close but it was so many repeated 5th place or 9th 15th 20th place finishes out of massive fields it drove me crazy because I knew I could win. I went through so much struggle and thought about giving up countless times but my inner voice just told me to never give up. I genuinely believe that no matter what anyone says you must follow your dreams and trust your instincts.

I feel like I’ve always had a pretty good mindset but something major happened to me last year that was just awful… and what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger right? So… I reframed my state of mind because after all… Life is what you make it.

One day Peter, Nav and I were sitting in the Pete’s car just eating chillin after playin some AE. We were discussing random things in life when some shitty song came on the radio that was just completely trashy and I thought it had such a negative impact towards peoples mindsets and especially towards eachother. I told them that I wish they’d play a certain song when suddenly It started playing. I was so in shock that I started saying my thoughts aloud to make them come true. Typical things but things that matter and are important to me. Love, Health, Prosperity, Belief, Peace, Respect, Friendship, Food and Shelter for the homeless, For fucked up ppl to lose power, For greedy fucks to see what it feels like that instead of war we can provide great things for every single person on this earth because there IS enough resources! To live life is to remove suffering of people you love… I’m not good at this and I wish to improve no matter what. Even though what happened in the car that day was something so small it confirmed my thoughts and that helped me improve my state of mind immensely.

It sounds cliche however you NEED to believe in yourself in order to succeed. It’s so easy to give up… It’s so easy to wait and hope that someone is gonna get you to where you wanna be but only you have the power to do that. We must conquer ourselves before we can conquer anyone or anything!

I can’t stop here though… I’m aiming for a million from here on out.

Nice work Bro, after I saw that I decided to start playing poker online for real money for a change!!! All the best, hope you make a mil!!!

Dirgesong · January 21, 2012, 4:55am

I can make the drive down to edmonton but my car doesnt have winter tires or anything of the sort. I remember driving to edmonton around this time of year a few years back with Mike M. and it wasnt too bad. As long as the roads are clear it should be ok. Sang and Naav you guys can probably catch a ride with me if you want.

zakky · January 21, 2012, 6:01am

Anyone playing games tonight? I’ve been mixing paint all day and need a break.

Also, why can’t the ads on youtube be somewhat in line with what you’re watching. I don’t have any music on this computer so I’m just listening to songs off of youtube and it makes me so fucking mad when I’m trying to listen to 90s alt music and keep being bombarded with skrillex at five times the volume. Who the fuck is this dude and why is he on my computer?

street11 · January 21, 2012, 6:08am

In this year I’m going to beat Jamie and take his title while retaining my stylishness and parry. MUAHAHAHAHA

Jozhear · January 21, 2012, 6:10am
