HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA....

Ship it can also be used in a variety of other ways such as when you are sending someone money online you are “shipping them money” or when you are ordering food you can tell the fast food employees to “ship the food”.

Im totally gonna tell the next mongrel I encounter @ the drive thru window to shipit...i dno why, but for some reason, this is pretty damn funny..

That's actually me: Middle, right.

I arrived in America about this time yesterday. My flight from Sydney to LA was probably the best international flight in economy that I've ever had. I had an aisle seat and there was someone sitting in the window seat - we had the middle seat empty. There was nobody infront of me and nobody behind me so I had my chair reclined the whole way the whole flight. I was right at the front of the plane so I was one of the first people off. I slept for about 10 of the 12 hours or so. So great.

I had about 5 hours in LAX which I spent about 2 of getting re-checked in to my flight to San Diego and the other 3 or so hours reading my books/magazines on finance and investing and shit. I'm starting to find it really interesting and just want to keep learning. I have taken $20k 'out' of my roll (I say out but if I ever really need it it will be easily accessible) and put into my online investing account to play around with. I've had it there for about a week now but haven't bought anything yet - partly because I want to read up more before I buy anything and partly because there is supposedly going to be a correction in the Australian market soon.

I'm going to be very very aggressive with my investing as I don't really see any reason not to be. As of right now I'm only going to be investing in the ASX but I'm really going to try and see how I can set something up to buy international shares soon.

It's my niece's birthday party tomorrow so today/tomorrow will be spent help setting up for that with no poker. I am thinking of coming to vegas for a week or so next week - I never did end up getting that fake ID that I was hoping for but I assume I'll still be able to play as they almost never card from what I hear - and if they do - I'll say that I left it up in my room and excuse myself. I probably won't play any higher than 2/5 for this reason incase they hold on to my chips as this way I can't lose $5k or something if I were playing 5/10.

Anyway, we'll see. I need to find someplace to stay as well or find someone to share with. On that note, WTF is Baldy?!?!

I'm planning on going to the gym every day that I'm here - I will do weights probably 3 times a week and ther other 4 times work on my abs/cardio/getting more fit. 3 months of this should have me in better shape than I've been in in my life, which says something about the state of my fitness the past 19 years.
