Lyrics:
Kanye West - I Wonder
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
[chorus]
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
[chorus]
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
[chorus]
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

so here i am, in a computer lab... after a longggggg day...
preparation and meeting with team on marketing presentation for 3 hours followed by the marketing presentation... followed by an IBM info session.. followed by the studentpokerchampionships at mac... just finished that... came in 25th out of 104... alright i guess... bad beat to end it... held A/J all in against the chip leader with K/9
flop comes Q, 9, 4, then blanks all the way... what can ya do.. played the odds... but didnt go my way... not hanging my head on this one... didnt get many cards though... too many ppl try to impress though... like when a girl comes over, they immediately raise a signifcant amount... or there was someone at my table with some poker site shirts and hats, and wearing sunglasses... please.. i want to laugh, hahahaha... oh wait, i just did... ya know what i mean.... thats alright, they're coming back 3 more times... top 2 each time get to represent mac at the canadian university championships, LOL... oh right, forgot to mention, we win nothing... free entry, free winnings.. unless we somehow win the university championships... we get... maybe a hat? maybe a scholarship? maybe a snowball, hahaha...
i think ppl use the word 'skill' too loosely or just plain incorrectly... here's what i think 'skill' in poker is.. the ability to guess your opponents cards.. by this i mean, if you're holding 8,9... and your opponent goes over the top on you, if you're able to guess that he's holding overcards, or a low pair, or a pocket pair, then that's skill... and skill is not fluke... you gotta be able to do this consistently... winning on the river is NOT skill.. bluffing ppl out is a skill because you have to detect your opponent's weakness.. wearing sunglasses definitely isnt a skill... being able to calculate the odds and knowing your outs in a particular hand is a... semi-skill i guess.. but winning isnt necessarily a skill... it's just an outcome of chance?
so take off your sunglasses.. just play poker, not mr. potato head or mr. dressup
