God, it's good to be the King
Hey, CrossFire people,
I just felt like updating you on how amazing my life is.
1. I speak 3 languages already (Spanish, English, and ASL), and I'm learning my fourth currently (German).
2. I've been sky-diving twice now.
3. I've been SCUBA diving three times, now.
4. I placed 2nd in a national martial arts competition (I was young though, so it probably doesn't count).
5. I've been sailing in the Mediterranean.
6. I've ran a marathon (considering training for a triathlon after CF is over)
7. I've maintained a 4.0 GPA while double majoring through university, in maths and English.
8. I'm better-read than many of you will ever hope to be.
9. I have perfect health.
10. Starting thus Summer, I'll be working a job making 70K a year. That's not too much, but I live in Indiana, where 30K a year is middle class.
11. I have a Masters title in chess.
So, that aspect is going pretty great!
How are your lives?

do you have brain damage? -
Good for you, man! And please don't read that in a sarcastic tone of voice. It's not meant to be. You've done good in your life so far, and that's worth something.
As for all you haters, the only reason I can see for you trying to put him down is jealousy.
irman, I don't know which women has wronged you, but I hope you don't really believe that. At the very least because it's not at all true.
I'm at a 2.1 GPA with a double major in mech. engineering and german. I applaud your 4.0
I too have gone sailing and swimming in the Mediterranean, and I encourage everyone who has it within their means to go to travel there.
As far as you being "the King", the only king I know of is my Lord and savior Jesus Christ

Its good that you have wonderful life, and to be honest I really do envy you. But there are many of us that doesn't have your "quality" of life, and I get that its you that work hard for your lift but please, don't brag about it. "God, it's good to be the king"? Don't brag about it and keep it to yourself. -

Hmm you seem a little hurt, for one, that post's context clearly was comparing people who play games for money versus someone who puts the same amount of time into education and a professional career outside of gaming. I clearly stated that there was nothing special about me and that basically you have a better chance of doing what I do than becoming a professional gamer. Yeah sure, you can take things out of context and to try to troll but for someone like yourself who went to one of the best areas for k-12 education, your comprehension skills lack. That certainty wasn't an attempt to boost myself over the internet when I clearly downplayed my success..

please, dont brag about school, anyone with a brain knows that your school marks rarely transfer over to anything relevant in the real world, i mean, you will have to write an essay and do advanced math calculations every week?
math, maybe
but hey, you dont see me bragging on a gaming forum

I lost 100k in bonus. Company cut our bonus by more than 75% per day. Then again with the blood bath in oil and gas right now I should be glad I have a job at least until late spring 
I was thinking Ann arbor since it wouldn't be too long of a commute. Their Tauber institute of operations aligns with my ideal career path.
Also I'll be in Detroit Friday/Saturday of next week for NAIAS if your down for some drinks Friday night. -

You give me the same impression that those college kids/ young grads who call themselves "bros" and wear backwards flat-rimmed hats give me.
"do more drugs"? I hope you realize sooner than later that anything out there is only stopping you from being really happy.
I like to think that terms like nerd/geek were made by men of smaller intelligence to belittle the achievements of their more talented brothers and sisters.
