Great follow up to watching "capitalism, a love story", it explains very clearly why the U.S. and a lot of the E.U. countries are fucked up financially, narrated by Matt Damon
I recommend you guys download these two at torrents, decent quality rips out there
- have a business idea, probably better than the last one i had (didnt make shit since i sold it to a VC before) -> also not the website idea which was lol and out of my area of expertise tbh
- funding is meh (can cover like 40%, and that's like i dont eat till 2012
- unlike before this business idea will require a lot of legwork and talking to people which I like
- obv risk of failure, but Im pretty sure it is at a minimum and +EV
- time is always a factor, but if i rush and expose or do the wrong thing i might fuck this up
- the idea is scalable , meaning if it does extremely well, i can make bank
- I am getting old, cannot take risks like this, since this alienates me even more from poker, which i am doing terribly at the moment tbh, but what can i do right?
so now my question is?
Poll: Funding for Project
(Vote): Family, Relatives (harder and slower)
(Vote): VCs, People I dont know(high variance but faster)
(Vote): Fund it myself(sell shit - risky as fuck) more monies for me
If you have some insight that you think can help me weigh my options that'd be great, I'm a person with an open mind and will absorb and process any inputs, I posted here since LP is full of smart young aggressive people
*finally going into business soon(hold one time)
*using the fail website and convert it to webvertise, showcase and hopefully process some payments within the coutnry thru paypal
*going to learn a martial art called filipino kali, a.k.a arnis
*playing poker but just going to try to limit playing time to 1 to 2 hour daily
started going to my first class last night. pretty interesting martial art this filipino Kali, it has southeast asian variations like pentak and some krav maga, i wonder why no one from this discipline ever competed in MMA, seems like fucking awesome incorporated with boxing, jujitsu. its basically what jason bourne and steven segal use lolz
it's basically not a stick based fighting style but weapon-based, which is quite unique since you are always taught to get a weapon first before using fists and usually pure standup is considered as a last resort in cqb.however it is by no means pretty as how it is shown in videos and movies, but a good practioner can kick anyone's ass in streetfights or situations. So we start with sticks and eventually end up using our bare hands and even have grapples called "dumog" which is sort of a similar style to greco-roman but always has emphasis on strikes. if i go to prison someday knife fighting will be no problem for me lol. just look at these fine filipino gentlemen
forgot my FTP pin, how do i recover/get a new one?
whamm!, Feb 01 2011
so ijust realized i forgot my ftp pin, i tried to search for details how to get it back but it seems i only get unregistered to any tournaments but have no clue or directions how to get a new one or reset it, god i love ftp lol
Well Poker seems to be more and more attactive for me again lately since the site isnt going nowhere anyway. People are so sick and tired of classifieds and that type of thing and since ive been so out of the loop it was first and last error - which further drove my obssession to make it work by spending more money on it lol. I might go for the retarded route and grind vpps (not even sure if that'll give me profits). Going to start tomorrow with it and try to maintain supernova if i can. 7kvpps is tough when u play 50nl fr.
Anyway a 2p2 midstakes solid winning FR reg msged me on skype that he wanted to move to the Philippines with his GF whos apparently a Filipina born in the U.S., they plan to stay here and study and needed a local to keep them safe and show them the ropes here in the city where i live, he wants to pay for my services but im willing to take live coaching sessions instead, i hope it pans out.
So good luck to me and this time im taking a break from website bs for now and not going back until I have some really solid plan and idea before trying it out, learned the ins and outs of the whole trade but was just cash strapped to make any sort of additional changes.
Before you make a website about anything I haves ome tips:
-Idea should be unique, or at least target a specific demographic, anything very broad and vague without a solid base of registered users is rarely ever going to take off
-Site should be coded well and should be very SEO - friendly, I mean if you can't be seen, how the hell can they know they like your site
-Spend money on the site platform, don't use wordpress, smf, mambo or other free shit that's out there, No one will ever take it seriously, no matter what your content is, people take a look and just feel its made of some free crap, without coding theres nothing much out there for you to use on those free platforms anyway, if you plan on making it profitable spend. gone are the days where u get "lucky"
-content is king, if content is just copy/pasted stuff all over the net, people will know it.
very sick coolers just as im starting to get comfortable playing again.
money's getting to me since my diminishing life roll is getting coolered left and right as well.
cant play on a stake since ive lost two stakes given to me last time.
cant risk any more uploads (refer to 2nd sentence)
ditched website plans for now, learned new stuff that can buy me a pair of shoes at best
wasted time taking a break just chilling, zero income for 4 months, past mediocre poker game is now below par and close to vinniepooh status
i got more kids, less money, no skill less time (im 38 atm)
I'm Catholic (non-practicing), but this is how it usually goes when I go on life tilt, I only return to believing God just to piss him off lol ,
