QFTI'm lucky to be alive in the 21st century.
I've been talking to people about this lately actually.
To anyone doubting their luck at being born in America in the 21st century: We live in a modern renaissance of technology, communication, science and transportation.
Can you imagine what Darwin or Einstein or any number of motivated forward thinkers from the past could have done with the Internet available? The amount of time and energy saved and redirected towards other great projects? The medical treatments we could have to used to save the lives of brilliant writers like Keats (died at 24) or Poe (died at 40), or helped a genius composer like Beethoven live longer with all his senses. How many wars or miscommunications we could have avoided with faster and more reliable communication.
The insane metropolis of the future that is pretty much every major city. The unlimited possibilities to go out and accomplish almost anything you can think of if you want it bad enough. The understanding we have of the seemingly endless amount of space brought about by the advances in quantum theory.
The notions of equality leaking into every corner of social interaction. A black president less than hundred years after black people weren't even able to drink from the same water fountains or eat at the same restaurants. We're experiencing at current a nationwide movement against the unchallengable corporate political system through the organizational powers and the information flow of social networking. The growingly loud and aware voice of a public too often discounted in motivation.
The time to come will be bigger, brighter and better of course, but to think about how many other people who are alive now would kill to live like the lower middle class in America, about how many other time periods where none of us would have lived past our 20's because for 100,000 years we didn't understand tooth decay was killing us...
I'm extremely grateful and I suggest rethinking your perspective otherwise.
I guess you guys are okay too. <3

I could just give you thirty bucks.should enter imo =p
I don't travel outside of Shelby much because going to tourneys drains my money(or makes me break even after gas and food and such), but I'm only about an hour from him. If he ever wants to visit me then I can make that arrangement perfectly fine(and I think we have before).a quick question:
why isn't anyone going to Felipe's(DAflip) to smash when he sends out invites? am I missing something here because he gets fustrated when this happens and he really wants to play even though he doesn't have transportation ATM.
this is just the general idea I'm getting from all this, at least from Felipe's side
It's about the experience! =pI could just give you thirty bucks.
It'd save a ****load of time.
I just played with him last week, I know im the only one who plays with him now but yeah, felipe is a lot cooler since he quit taking the game seriouslya quick question:

My experience of entering tournaments has always been unhappy.I don't travel outside of Shelby much because going to tourneys drains my money(or makes me break even after gas and food and such), but I'm only about an hour from him.
