Ten favorite movies?

When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

Are we (America) going into a depression?

Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it?

Only the best,
Jesse

My favorite food is really difficult. Im a fat guy so asking me that is like asking me who my favorite child is. If it tastes good, i like it. Pizza, burgers, chocolate, one might say its all gravy baby....mmmmm gravy!

Ten fav movies,
1. Star Wars 1-6
2. The Princess Bride
3. The Usual Suspects
4 Star Trek
5. The Original Animated Transformers movie
6. Harry potter 1-7a
7. Spaceballs
8. Love Actually
9. Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy
10. Any Kevin Smith movie

I began playing magic with my two younger brothers when i was around 20. Soon after I began dealing just to support my cardboard crack habit. A year or two later I turned it into a full time business always wanting to open a store. I finally opened a store about a year and a half ago only to fall in love with my girlfriend and have to close my store down (she lived 3 hours away) to be near her. LIFE!

I dont feel like we are going into a depression. I do feel like we are in a financial downswing that VERY slowly we are getting out of. Its probably going to take a few years for us to recover. Right now the poor are getting poorer and the rich richer, there really isnt much of a middle class anymore.

Unfortunately there isnt any 1 thing we can do to solve our problems. All of our issues are related and they are all revolving around how the system is set up. We, as a country, need to stop spending money on stuff that doesnt better us and our people as a whole. The people we have making laws in this country are greedy, self serving people. But unfortunately the poor dont vote, the uneducated dont vote, the downtrodden dont vote. Until the system changes to where we do things because its the right thing to do and helps the most people we will continue into economic downtimes.

What to do about it? First, get the bottom 75% of the population to vote in people who care about their situation instead of the people in there now who care about the top 1%. Pay teachers more, ALOT more, but hold them to the strictest standards. Send the best teachers to the innercity schools NOT the well to do ones. Its easy to teach kids who want to learn.

2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow?

3. What would you like to do right now that is just outside of your reach because of one thing (money, people, other resources)?

4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL?

5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing?

What are your three greatest fears?
Closing your business to be with someone just seems like bad times to me. How has it worked out for you? What do you do now?
Your food answer led me to believe you have children, though I very well could have misinterpreted. If I am correct, tell us a little bit about them.

1. For both parts I would advise to do what you love. For me its always been dealing in magic cards. It doesnt feel like work to me even though its alot of effort. So whatever you do, do it because it makes you happy.

2. I would say my greatest failure was college. I learned alot by going to college but not by excelling at classes but more by failing at them. I had to try a bunch of different things to figure out that that wasnt what i wanted to do in life. Although I do have a Phys Ed degree(i love coaching) I dont wanna be in the school system currently. But i tried(and failed at) alot of things to figure out where i wanted to be.

3. I would love to be able to travel. Japan, Ireland, Africa, Australia, etc. Ive been all over the US and its a beautiful country but there are so many other amazing cultures and areas to experience. I would love to take my girlfriend and her daughter around the world one summer.

4. I would like to be a mod so I could ban all of the other dealers on the site making it so much easier to make money here lol...just kidding. Actually I wouldnt make many changes. Maybe have the ability to change your handle name but also give the ability to see peoples past handle names so you couldnt scam people easily that way.

I think it's safe to say that's the idea behind this series of threads. To that end, after nderdog posts "no more questions," and you finish answering what you have left, plus what I am going to ask you in a minute, I want you to come up with three questions you wish you would have been asked, and answer them.

Kids- I actually dont have kids. The saying i used is actually a saying from Wimbeldon. I just liked it so I use the saying.

My 3 greatest fears- great question
1. Probably one of my greatest fears is that I wont have kids either by medical condition or not in a stable relationship. Before you speculate NO I dont have a medical condition nor an unstable relationship lol. My girlfriend and I are in talks about starting a family but not at that point yet. To me, kids are the greatest accomplishment in this life.
2. Losing my mind. Ive seen dementia and Alzheimers first hand. I make a living and depend on my ability to think, remember, and solve problems. It would my personal hell to not have those abilities.
3. Spiders, I freaking hate spiders. *cringes*

Business - I did close down my store to be with my current girlfriend. I sold off most of it, paying off some bills, etc. I dont regret the decision for a moment. She was and is the one. When i moved I didnt know if I wanted to start fresh or continue in magic. I was interested in buying storage auctions and tried that for a few months and still do it on occasion but I missed magic a great deal so Im actually back to buying collections and rebuilding my stock. I dont think I will open a store here, the population just isnt big enough to support one so ill just do the interwebs thing.
