Throughout my life I've always done well at school (e.g. graduated #1 last year from undergrad Math faculty, University of Waterloo) and work related things, but my main regret is that I've been way too reserved. I'm pretty open with my friends, but I used to find talking to new people a chore. I also tended never to get involved in things, skipped most of my classes, and generally missed out on a lot of things due to laziness. I've been consciously trying to change that, open up, and get more involved, and it's been moderately successful. I started a software company with my friend a year ago, and we're doing customized business systems for small/medium businesses. For me that's a big decision, because it means that after graduation in a few months, I won't be getting a stable job. I interned at Google before, and deciding against their reasonable pay, free awesome food, and other perks was tough. But I really believe I can learn a lot more (especially non-technical things) by starting a business, get more job satisfaction, and hopefully eventually end up better financially. Oh, and our company is called Archon Systems Inc., cuz 3-3-3 archons pwnallwtfwtfomg Might as well plug. Our preliminary website is http://www.archonsystems.com/. If anyone's in a position to refer some businesses interested in custom systems to us, PM me, or e-mail through the website. We've been mostly focusing on supply-chain management systems (SCMS), but are open to other things too. We'll give you a commission if it leads to a deal, so you could earn some decent money, depending on the size of the project. oh and anyone from the Toronto area wanna meet up downtown for some drinks to mourn boxer's retirement, maybe on Oct. 9th? i was thinking of creating a thread for this, but it kinda fits here too. | ||

(I've had the same kinds of problems for years, but am just now recently realizing what exactly the problem is. PM me if you want to keep it private.) Just want to help. 19, college sophomore, currently living in new orleans. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep right now from noon to 3pm after pulling another all nighter for no reason at all. I'm an insomniac, i can't sleep and it's ruining my life. For the past year or so, starcraft has dominated my life. I'm addicted for the only reason that I wanna be "good" but it has made my life hell. I live in a piece of shit frathouse i get overcharged for with thirteen or so other people. Everyone down here thinks frats are gangs and love drunken drama. Everyone wants to emulate gangsta rappers. Everyone is white jewish kids. In the house right now five people are selling drugs to college students only to make money. I want to, everyday more so, get out of this shithole. I grew up in china and connecticut. I want to live in a cold place and meet less rowdy people. Right now I'm not in school, trying to find a full-time job to make ends meet, cut off by my parents, and basically living a shitty everyday. The only thing that consoles me is that I love most of the people I know no matter how different they are. Hopefully I'll be working soon, that's my only goal for now. And besides that if I have money i'll get wasted. At nights when I can't sleep I stay up and play starcraft till morning. Then again in the afternoon. It could've been a lot better if I had motivation but I have none. It's only when shit hits the fan that I actually do something. boohoo i know. I'm unsatisfied only when I type this. Otherwise I get by well enough. I love teamliquid and starcraft, I'm glad to have met all the people ive met through it.  | ||

24 years old. Sunnyvale, CA Work part time at Beverages & More, part time with GGL. Hopefully fulltime at the office in Santa Monica, soon. I don't game much anymore, since my RSI doesn't allow me to for long periods of time, which is why I run console events at WCG, I've been on the Xbox/360 for awhile now. I've flown to 10 different places in the past 2 years for gaming, next month will make #11. <img src="http://www.rickjsanchez.com/WCGUSA2006/PuertoRicanWCGUSA20062.jpg" align="right"> My job in gaming is to further it's growth, especially when it comes to making money. I moved back to California this year, 2006, one day before E3, which I worked at and ran a console event. Currently trying work on the big plans that GGL has with AmeriCup 3, which will probably have another lan final, TAS, hopefully with Starcraft this time, and will include more countries this time. Trying to finish up the damn Wikipedia page I've been working on for GGL, but it's been over a month and the GGL site hasn't updated what I need, so I can't finish the Wiki page. I'm still undecided whether I want a girl or not, I mean I get lonely at times, but for the most part I can't be bothered since I'm busy 85% of the time. My next trip will be to New York, on October 10th - 16th 2006. I will be there working at the DigitalLife event. If any of you are in the New York area, feel free to stop by and say hi, I'll be with Orlandu working in the Warcraft 3 section. | ||

Hm, I'm Rob, 19, 5'9", ~210 lbs. I'm a second year undergraduate psychology major. I'm the same typical nice guy that gets pissed on daily by society that you've all come to know love, and I'm actually quite shy and quiet in real life, whereas on here I'm quite outspoken and just don't care. | ||
