Before I herniated two lumbar discs (badly) a couple of years ago, I was a hell of a basketball player. Now, even though according to MRI's I'm fully healed, I don't have the confidence in making lateral movements to start playing again seriously. I'm 39 though, so I guess it shouldn't matter to me too much - but it does. I was an elite athlete in general, and even am now at my age - I just don't have the confidence in my back to move how I want.

I'm also one of the ~10-15 best phone app Boggle players in the world (Ruzzle, Word Streak/Scramble with Friends etc.). I also work out 3-4 times per week, strictly weight training. I enjoy reading, but I end up reading analysis/essays online (usually science/tech/politics/philosophy) more than novels, despite enjoying novels immensely.

cool dude, i'll have to check it out and brush up on it. It's amazing to think Bobby Fisher was a f*****g rockstar when he was playing chess professionally - i can't imagine a chess player being that famous in today's world. it's pretty sad - sh*t was so different 20-30yrs ago it's unbelievable.
Yeah man people today care about useless sh*t, but no one pays attention to the real arts now and chess is one them. Check the chess website out it's the best in the world and i'm sure you'll enjoy it there. If you've not played for so long just challenge the computer for now, but be careful because after level 4 the computer will finish you in a minute. I've never won against the computer before.

damn i got rekt by the computer
i suck at chess haha, holy sh*t that was horrible
LOL. I told you the computer wont go easy on you, but i want you the challenge it, just to remember the game. There's the coach mode which is very important because it tells you the wrong moves you've played and what you were supposed to do to never do them again.

Have you watched the videos when Trump was talking about f*****g Ivanka ? This guy is not right in the head. There's something wrong with him.

No and I don't plan to do so.

One thing I actually did for fun tonight was watch Dunkirk. It's a magnificent film, with Nolan again proving what an incredible director he is.

i heard the musical score was outstanding for that movie but the storyline was a bit lacking - is it worth a watch?

Nolan did make a smaller, tighter story. It's under two hours in length, it does look like he's addressing the critiques of TDKR and Interstellar. The story works though, it's just very focused on Dunkirk which is not the epic scope we're used to with WW2 films.

The music was amazing.

He was fine. I don't know why that casting bothered people, haven't a lot of people have gone from music to acting?

Mark Rylance had the most significant role in my opinion. Really though this was an ensemble film.

Also, this may be the first Nolan movie with neither a dead wife not a threatened wife. Lol.

No man i was just wondering because he haven't made any movies since the one direction movie which sucked very hard, so i was just worried if he ruined the movie. And Hans Zimmer is the sh*t, like seriously this guy's a genius when it comes to music. I'm glad that Nolan chooses him more often to make the music in his movies. Nolan's creativity with Hans's geniality, it must have been a great movie !

Drawing and painting mostly but lately my passion project has been making Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Pandemic) tribute maps through a game called Disney Infinity 3.0. The game is directed at kids but idc because it is sooo much less restricted than EASWBF2015.... in fact my disgust with what dice did with the franchise was the catalyst for GALACTICFRONT (my version). I currently have made over thirty two maps, including new locales not in the original games. On top of all that, i broadcast gameplay on twitch... alway5offline is my address if you want to see my work ( dont forget to follow me)...Dante.
