This is a response to what was supposed to be Adam Gussows last lesson. I learnt pretty much everything from his videos so I had to make this 
St Louis Blues again! This time better than the last, much more groove I think, though not really close to the original Im trying to imitate 
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Thanks for the tip, Vinny from Germany.
Merry Christmas all you who keep up with me despite the lack of useful content in the blog 
Sorry for such a late reply, but thanks for the congratulations

Time to revive ze blog again with a post about... me. I guess. And manliness.
A while ago I found an awesome blog, the Art of Manliness. Some of you probably smile condescendingly when you read this, because manliness is a word that has a silly tone to it today. You picture some douchebag doing stupid things because he thinks it's manly. Winning drinking contests. Pissing contests. Slapping his girl around a bit. Being aggressive towards people to come out looking more manly. You know the kinda stuff I'm talking about.
Atleast, that's what I thought about first when I saw the link to this site. I thought it was going to be full of jokes about how to appear as manly as possible or do manly stuff, like learn how to break down a door (actually could come in handy though :P).
However, the thought of the perfect gentleman has always had charm for me. Now you're laughing again. Alright, I'm not going to walk around in a top-hat and bow to greet every lady I meet with "Enchanté" (if that's how gentlemen greet ladies). But there are certain qualities connected to the perfect gentleman that I admire.
Politeness. Calmness. Charm. Self-sacrifice. Posture. Striving for accomplishments without boasting of it. Being well-read. True to one's word. Speaking meaningfully. Being the kind of person other people listen to. Leaving a legacy. Et cetera
Perhaps I'm not thinking of a perfect gentleman, but of another rather pompous expression, a great man. Something that has occupied my thoughts lately is the thought of how to become someone that other persons might think of as a great man. I said don't laugh! I can't say I've found the answer, but a lot of the subjects Art of Manliness write about are subjects that deal with this issue.
I hate promising more posts, because I never really hold these promises. Something I must amend to be a perfect gentleman. Wait, that's why I stopped promising in the first place. Anyway, when I started writing this post I wanted to write about something completely different, and then I wanted to focus on some big philosophical topic from Art of Manliness... and now here I am without feeling like doing that anymore.
So I'll just leave you with one of the qualities I'd like to have. Commanding a room. This is a great way to start being someone people would like to listen to. Once you have the initial confidence in yourself needed to take the steps towards commanding a room, your confidence will continue to rise when you feel it working. I'm not that bad at this, and I can tell you if you aren't in the habit of commanding the room when you're delivering a presentation at school, or just walking into a room at a house-party, it really is a great feeling and a big confidence boost.
Alrighty. See you around, folks
oh and PERHAPS you might be seeing something from me video-wise in english in a foreseeable future 
I am pretty sure u r looking for 'superior man' as ur expression
Welcoem on board as a fellow striver(just made this noun up :f_cool:) for that goal
♠_smile: ..... hi
remember me?
any of you oldies hanging around still?
Well this blog certainly died a little.
Soo.. how y'all doing? Anyone curious what's happened to me? 
No matter if you are curious or not here's a little post. Did you think I quit or something? Nah, come on. Actually, I've sort of just quit... browsing forums :f_p:. Since school got slightly more serious earlier this year I've certainly played less. I've dropped down to playing nl200 and 100, between 10-20k hands a month. Nothing compared to what I used to that's true, but I'm still trucking along well and its little enough volume for most of the hours to be fun!
Why did I stop browsing forums? I don't have a lot of computer time now, too many things going on in "real" life. So basically when Im at the computer I just fire up some poker tables and then quit and go do something else, or if I have a coaching I do that and then leave. Not much idling around on the forum. I do miss coaching on PS though, I'm still pretty passionate about coaching (its so awesome) and still do private coachings whenever I'm asked. I've dropped down the rating to $50/session again since I'm not playing nl400 anymore.
Well, eh. I dont want to write a huge post about everything Ive been doing, cause honestly nobodies going to read this if its 2 pages long right. So perhaps I'll write something later, or perhaps I just came in to say HI
heres some feelgood music to make you wanna come back in
Yay, hi guys I'm definately still playing the harmonica! It's too much fun to put it down. I actually got hired as a session musician on a blues song a few weeks ago, and got to lay both a rythm track trucking through the whole song and the main solo. It was super awesome, and the producer said he'd call me if he wanted harmonica another time
I'll try to find an update to make sooner this time yeah!
