Balla Constitution

2012-01-21 04:32 AM

We, the grinders, for the purpose of effectually robustoing it up and ballin’ til we fall, and as the best means of ensuring an expeditious and easy journey do ordain and establish, “The falseness of an opinion is not, for us, any objection to it. The question is how far it is life furthering, life preserving, species preserving and perhaps species creating.” – Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good A ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/85141-Balla-Constitution">(continued)</a>

2011-12-25 07:52 PM

I made a Twitter account yesterday. There are no plans to use it socially, however; it’s just a realtime news ticker onto the pulse of online poker which, hopefully, by the grace of fsm, I can avoid checking very often.  So to commemorate my entry into the world of Twitter, here’s my favorite aphorisms (or tweets whatever) from the always interesting yet sadly defunct Nassim Nicholas Taleb acc ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/83641-A-Talebful-Tweetmas">(continued)</a>

I yam what I yam

2009-12-08 12:59 PM

I’ve been looking at my game lately, and how I’ve played in the last 2 months. I’ve compared it to how I’ve played previously to how I’ve played lately, and something hit me.
