Dear members,
As you can see, this is my first post and I sure will enjoy my time here in this wonderful forum with a bunch of great guys. Simply just to say hi and briefly introduce myself. Well, my name is Gary and I'm in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where the then World Pool Championship was staged in 2005 and I had great memories because I hung out with the U.S. players everyday during that time. Earl, Johnny, Gabe, Corey, Mike davis, Danny Basavich, Schmidt, Rodney, Charlie Bryant and Williams... And I feel proud because they all recognized me and I bought a nine ball for Earl and Johnny to sign on it and that's priceless to me. Them two were my idols as I grew up playing pool so that really mean a lot to me, as for the rest, they all signed on a Q-ball too. I'm 37 but going to be 38 very soon, not married but have a girlfriend who got a great heart, personality but just ok looking. So my first question is, should I marry her because she's not consider "pretty"? Really, I really want to know you guys opinions, especially those who have experienced marriage. Although it's not pool-related but hope you guys don't mind. I'm working as International Sales Representative in this toner cartridge company and I'm a huge Giants fan because I use to live in New York, that's American football in case if you're not from the states. I'm very happy that I now can watch football through internet for only USD200.00 for the whole season, it was USD300.00 last season... For some reasons Taiwan's ESPN or other sporting channels don't broadcast football at all. I also like good songs and good foods but have been on a diet for the past 3 and a half months and lost 25KG, but I'm not done yet, still a few KGs to go. Well, so far it's pretty much non-pool related but just to make it more pool related, I was a pool player a long time ago and engaged in a lot of local tournaments. Although I don't play anymore but pool is always in my heart and I'll always have the pool players mentality in me. If there's anything you would like to know about Taiwan's pool, or other things, I would like to find out and inform you. So once again nice to meet you guys and you can tell me a little about yourself too. Later guys!
Yeah, I read that. At 54 I hope I'm not that aged yet, and actually not so sure on the wise part either.

should I marry her because she's not consider "pretty"
Gary,
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

It's easy to fall in love, just make sure it's what you want in life because it's your life and you only live it once.

Advices from an aged wise man should always be taken into consideration. But set her free? I'm not quite sure about that... She kinda likes me a lot, so I'm not sure if that'll be a good thing for her... And I do like her just not love... Maybe I'm confused? But thanks anyway.

WOW! Isn't it amazing? I've been away for only a weekend and now I have to "search" for my thread in page 4!! This family is HUGE! As for the weekend, I spent most of the time with my ok looking gf and yes I was fat, I was 103KG for a while but my gf didn't care about my look, I guess I was a good looking fat guy? But I was in my best shape when I met the players in 2005, I think I could finish a marathon at that time. Anyway, let's move on with my weekend, watched my Giants got beat by 1 point, can you believe that, they went for 2 point when they only needed 1 to tie, no wonder they called it the preseason. My man Eli would kill them in a real game and excuse me if you're the fan of that team. And watched olympics including Usain's crew beat the U.S. Dame! He was fast!
Anyway, truly thanks to you guys for welcome me and the advices, I will sure slowly digest them and take them into heart. I can't reply everything in details cause I'm at work, but it's very good to know that they're some important pool-related personnels here in the forum. As for my fellow Taiwanese who lives in Atlanta, it's nice to see you here sir and I suggest you to pay a visit to Archer's poolhall, you can also see Shawn Putnam there and he's a very polite guy. Except for that he may be chewing a McDonald's cheese burger. Johnny is very cool of course but you can sense that he's got the killer instinct in him. My point is if I were in Atlanta I would visit Johnny's place sometimes, and they got great foods too according to, again, this website. And I'll be rooting for Matt Ryan, but he's nowhere near my man Eli but that's not the point here. I suggest Mr. Helfert to ask my half-Chinese, Half-Pinoy friend here to find out the true causes. Well, he knows Taiwanese players very well and I once talked to my favortie Taiwanese player Lee, he won the Challenge of Champions once and he told me that he had to hire a "secretary", which was actually a translator to accompanied him to the states for that trip. That included the plane ticket for 2, that's quite expensive man, and of course all the costs for that secretary. I forgot how much he paid for that secretary but it shouldn't be cheap. So if he didn't win that event, he would actually lost lots of money instead. Although you offered them free rooms but the plane ticket is expensive, and if they have to hire a "secretary" then forget it, their English is truly bad I'm not kidding, they can read from A-Z and that's about it, they definitely don't know what's "billiards." I once heard Kuo, Po-Cheng pronounced "foul", "four"... they might have to made it to the semis to win something. And probably they can't really get use to the foods too. So, if you can offer them a translator ( and it'll be better if the translator is Taiwanese too so the person won't set them up with unfair gambling actions), and guarantee them there'll be lots of gambling actions, then maybe the good ones and the confident ones would give a try. But that's just my opinion. But it is a pity that the Taiwanese aren't in the U.S. Open or else it'll be the greatest event in pool. All the U.S. pros and strong players are in, the top Europeans are in, top Philippinos are in, it seems like only Taiwanese is missing.
And to Mr. Blue Hog, Come on, I'm sorry that I offended you but 54 is a bit aged. I'm almost 40 and I have to call you "uncle", see? Just like college kids have to call me "uncle" too but I don't feel shy about my age, some people don't even lived up to your age, you know, there're 3 million ways to die according to this rap song, and the rappers rather die smoking weed...
Anyway, thank you guys again and I'll come back tomorrow and jump straight to page 2 or 3, take care.
still no pics of the girl in question?
thats a rule on other forums...
Bosoms or exit?
It seems to me that if every new member made a thread announcing their arrival, this forum would be filled with nothing but "Welcome to the forum" posts.
