Now I am in Charlotte, NC but I'm originally from Queens, one of the 5 boroughs of New York City. There was always something to do there, any hour of the day or night. And yes, we have an interesting and unique accent! Mine isn't that intense, but people here in the South know I'm not from these parts as soon as I open my mouth. :P
I enjoy some gambling, mostly Poker, but the concept of sports trading is something I am researching, and I will certainly read the basics of lay back trading article you linked.
If you want to read something from me, I would appreciate it! I won't link to my stuff on your post, but you can find my #IntroduceYourself post on my blog, as well as a short story I called "The Thought Experiment." If you like the latter, I would love an upvote, as I wrote it for a contest here! Or even better, don't upvote me but enter the contest! :D
