i mean im still here

ive also been trying to write some r code to create optimized lineups for betting on baseball on draftkings

so far i have lost like 50 bucks. i just have it taking whatever quantile from a sorted list of past daily fantasy scores tho the real analysis of actually parsing through not only past contest results but also baseball-reference stats to outperform random chance plus the house's cut is still ahead of me. its kinda fun. i guess

ive been learning how to cook i wanna start making a healthy omelette in the morning or some poo poo instead of eating cereal which is a vegetarian plot from the 19th century but im lazy

hopefully this weekend ill buy like ten ingredients and try this out http://www.tastyappetite.net/2012/12/how-to-make-masala-omelette-spicy.html

ive gotten acceptably mediocre at baking chicken wings, got my louisiana hot sauce and my yucateco (thats the real star) and advice from southerners who know how to cook, still lots of room to improve. but i also need to expand into other meals

and stop drinking so much

dc and uva are quite bitterness-inducing to really care about the sports teams of

especially when you get that umd is life undeserving of life

uva won college baseball that's kinda like winning a aa minor league championship so my enjoyment is somewhat measured. even i don't care about the loving lacrosse championships we have lol

idk i made a lot of e-friends on sas 10 years ago and i just kinda talk with them on twitter nowadays i dont even go in sas now

My post history is filled with my secret shame, which is that I love professional league of legends.

I watched a lot of mma because I wrestled in school but I've gotten bored by it as I've gotten older.

You should watch dominick cruz's fights, he's the best wrestler.

i didnt care about sports until the nats showed up and then i got it

its a way of developing and exhibiting raw human talent that organically generates storylines which are unmatched in what i hope it would be particularly infuriating to refer to as 'scripted media' i.e. every form of entertainment that's not sports

e-sports are just the korean form of pro wrestling tho im not defending either of those things. i have e-friends who like 'em both but nah

Baseball is super boring, but the tickets are cheap(lol Mariners) and the stadium has decent garlic fries so I go once a year.

Edit: I usually leave when the team falls apart and we are behind by 5+ points, so usually the 7th inning.

I've seen all of his fights except the two most recent.

I watched basically every UFC from about 100 - 170 or so, but then I got married and got an exec job and that was basically that for my free time.

His two most recent fights are really good, he's bantamweight champion again and just defended the belt against Faber. I'very been watching since Condit v diaz, and the first time I saw cruz fight was when he fought mitzugaki, and I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing, his style is so different from everyone else in the ufc.

cruz v mitsugaki was real cool. Cruz is awesome but made of glass. It'd be cool if he was healthy to hold the title for awhile again.

starting strength > stronglifts imo. i should probably ease back into things with that routine rather than the bodybuilding one i was using before, but whatever. fortune favors the bold and so does muscle strain
