The Ev Of Love

[Clay Aiken 6]

Hi Gang!! I thought that since I had been a member of the FCP community for a good while now, and I have become friends with so many of you, it was time I contributed with a strategy article!! Wonderful!! Mods, you can move it to strategy if you like, but I feel this article is general enough that this is the perfect place for it. Feel free to include it in the next FCP newsletter!!Let me first share with you a story. It is about an old man and woman, who have been married for 50 years!! One day, they have all their kids over to celebrate a birthday and they are having lunch. There is a nice loaf of fresh bread, and the old man cuts off the end, and eats it, and then proceeds to cut some bread for his wife. This same thing had happened for 50 years, everytime the couple had a loaf of bread, the old man would cut off the end and serve himself first. The daughter, realizing this, decides to ask her mother about it. Her mother says "I have loved this man for 50 years, and for 50 years I have put him and his desires before my own. The end of the loaf of bread is the best part of the loaf, and your father loves it. I don't ever complain because I know he loves me, even if these actions suggest otherwise."The son, also curious about the situation, confronts his dad about it. The old man replies "I have loved this woman for 50 years, and for 50 years I have put her and her desires ahead of my own. The end of the loaf of bread is the worst part of the loaf, so I take it for myself before I serve your mother."The illustrates my point beautifully!! For you see, both the man and the woman are accepting -EV situations, and they are doing so needlessly. If they would talk about it, the old woman would get the end of the loaf and take the +EV, and the man would not have to eat the end of the loaf, and would avoid -EV. But we have forgotten one thing!! The +EV of love!! The love between the man and woman, silently expressed through this situation repeated day after day, year after year, has created +EV!! Is there anything more beautiful than this?? Our lives are often receptacles of tempetuous and furtive feelings, so live strong, but live with love!! Let us never forget that at the poker table, we will often confront situations where it is unclear what we should do. Tough decisions have to be made, but if we could view the situation through the eyes of the Creator of the Universe, we could find +EV in the most amazing of places!! "Never stop looking, always seeking, never despairing!!" This quote, given by me in latest issue of Playboy, summarizes my feelings perfectly. And remember. It is never wrong to call an all-in of love!! Wonderful!!

What motivates you to spend 20+ minutes typing in a ridiculous a ridiculous article that you know will be flamed? I am really curious.

Taylor who?? Ha, tsk, tsk!! Just kidding Taylor, your performances are energetic and beautiful!! Ford is lucky to have you!! But I do have a warning. You remind me of me in my younger days. Young and innocent, seeking fame and fortune in all the wrong places. I too desired attention and would stop at nothing to get it!! Remember who you are Taylor, a marvelous creature designed by the Creator of the Universe, who is now gazing upon your harmonious being and considering you a trophy of his, to show off on his mantlepiece... of love.

Fear not, though you do not understand now, in time you will come to see the importance of my work on this forum. My 50 posts here represent all the good that this forum, and the world, has to offer. In times of doubt and fear and anxiety and sadness, I suggest you come back to my posts and seek to learn from my words. But my time is up. Though you can still reach my via PM as many of my fans often do, my public work here is done. I have taught you all how beautiful this life can be, but you were not willing to listen. So, my final words here will be spoken. Aiken Out!! Wonderful.

So does the Atkins diet become +EV or -EV in this couple's life?This reminds me of a story from my life with deep meanings and truth.At the 50th Annivesary party for my grandfather and grandmother, my grandfather sat in a corner crying. Everyone said how beautiful it was that he was so choked up.I went to my grandpa and asked him why he was crying.He said: "When your grandmother and I were married about 15 years, I hated her and wanted to kill her. But a good friend of mine told me I would spend the next 35 years in jail if I did that.""I would have been a free man today"
