sam the man!

Was watching a re-run of pawn stars today and it was the one where the Dad and Son had a competition, whoever had the highest profit margin for the month won a prize. The Dad ended up winning, but this is all wrong, at least in my opinion. Although profit margin is important, it doesn’t maximize profits. Let’s say you buy/sell 20 items in their business at a profit margin at 20%. That is NOT more profitable than say buy/sell 50 items at a profit margin of 15%. I don’t know, but in my opinion, they are looking at things all wrong.

I already have a new crack in my damn car windshield, oh well. I’m loving the gas mileage, it feels weird not to worry about getting gas after 150 miles or so. And by the way, my car’s name is Paige. It’s my FTP name in case people don’t know. paige16 to be exact.

Bose headphones are the shit. Corinne got them for me at Best Buy, and they are amazing. I only wish I had bought them earlier in life. They make music sound amazing, and have made me want to buy more music. I would wear them EVERYWHERE if I could. I took them grocery shopping the other day. Yes, I have to go grocery shopping again now that I moved out of my parent’s house.

There is a link to a new set of basketball set to release in October, AND IT BEGINS. I am SO ready to buy every damn Jeremy Lin basketball card that I possibly can.

i feel like this is a very common trend w/ bad players, they make a big 3bet preflop with ak or aq, and bet out big on flop. i was planning to shove any flop without and ace king or queen, fortunately, he got there.
