I do a good bit of mind reading myself. Always nice. I think it was called Colonial at some point yes. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to induce free beers if given the chance hehe. There are so many diner's, I don't know that I could pinpoint. You ever play any of the underground games in the Schenectady/Latham area?

heh, that's the decision of the season. It's a toss up between Yale and NYU. Depends whether I get a full ride to NYU or not and whether I can stomach another 3 years in New Haven =)

what kind of law do you practice if you practice?

I'm a litigator at a regional firm in my hometown (not biglaw, but 100+ attorneys). I do a lot of labor and employment work. I'm not sure I'll be practicing for long, though. Thinking about teaching (and a million other things).

If you don't mind, I'll offer two cents on your decision:

If you know you want to use your law degree, and you know you want to do public interest work, go to Yale. They'll pay back all of your debt if you're not earning enough (something like under 80k), and you'll meet the most amazing people. I went to Harvard (also turned down a ride at NYU), and I had the most incredible classmates-- people who I genuinely feel too humble to call peers. Plus, for public interest and nontraditional work, Yale is on a different level than any other law school. NYU is good too, though, particularly for international stuff. And being born and raised in CT, I can totally sympathize re: New Haven.

If you maybe don't want to practice, and don't want your poker winnings going to tuition or loans to the tune of some serious $$, go with the full ride!

GL on law school Vanessa. I graduated this past year - it's a rough 3 years

Little description : Scholar system isnt the same the others.. I just have a little diploma in secondary study. I tried to be a biotechnologist, without really knowing what the job was. After that I tried 2 time to be accepted in a school to me a humorist but it failed, while I was working often.

Now im working full time for the army. Its well paid but I dont want to do this for the next 20-30 years.. so im actually working on my poker near full time when I dont work. I still live at my parent's home until my girlfriend finish her studie. I wish I could pay myself a part of house with poker. (Afghanistan isnt a option my gf like)

Btw, my 50$ is now to 850$ + and Messiah is my poker coach.

no way! you were in Rampage's house?!?! Oh man I'm very jealous. He's been one of my favorite fighters for a long time. Was he as funny in person as he is in his interviews?

Heah Guys

Been a live tourney player as a hooby for 3 years now and have a few moderate online MTT wins. Just before Christmas decided that playing late into the early morning for small returns (if at all) is just not enjoyable anymore. So, here I am gonna be a cash player......I hope.

If you need tickets are are coming to Mass this year. Let me know (dead fucking serious). I live in California but own season tickets. I've been to Fenway over 300 times in the last 10 years. If you want to plan a trip around tickets, I could tell you what tickets I'll have after we draft them out (yes, just like that silly movie, Fever Pitch).

Wow, very generous of you mate. To me thats just an amazing gesture on your behalf. I'm sure I'll be keeping you on the offer and the drink will be on me. My sorry ass reasons for not making it (ie living in Ireland) seem petty after seeing what you go through to get there.

20 days to Pitchers and Catchers......and it's killing me.

Fck you know what, I totally missed a season ticket holder pre-sale this morning. I'm actually on hold w/the Sox Ticket agent now. I'm dead serious dude, I think I live further than you from Fenway now (Southern California) but at this moment I will have 30 games at Fenway next year, 2 tickets to each game. The Sox tickets are in such high demand and low supply, it's become a business as you can imagine.

OMG, I'm in! What game do you want? (dead serious, add me to your AIM: joetallio, YahooIM: joetall or MSN: joetall@hotmail) or I'll just get some random game this summer.
