I hope that once you get to know me and see how big my heart is and hopefully you'll overlook all the physicalities of what you see, like that old saying goes "You can never judge a book by its cover!, Just check out my websight located @ http://www.beatmaster1.com and while you are there please check out what i feel is a cool gin league, where everyone knows your name and they glad you came, It's Buddies4fun of which I wouldn't have been a part of without the help of a couple friends who met me when I had first started on the net as Cardshark38 yrs ago, And they was (Sman and smans_wife) They both thought i was crazy trying to bring a league into the hamsterpit then but saw what i was serious, dedicated, and how I was failing miserably, and they also remembered and missed those good ole days when everybody played gin all night long until the sun came up and believe it on not we would still be playing!! so after several attempts to build a gin league sdad and his wife came to my rescues and we created a good league called the-wildones, Well that league was created in 2002 and lasted almost 8 yrs, Then we started losing members so we thought about merging with another league so we merged with ginlovers in may 2010 that was a mistake and our downfall, we just could not work together and I just couldnt handle it anymore and my attitude along with my mouth got me kicked, so i had to find another league that would let me keep my td status , and league was Ginparty which is an appropiate name cause i love to play gin and i love to party and have a good time!!!! Well like all good parties do they have to end and in that league the fun fizzled out so now im a part of a new league called Buddies4fun and hopefully its the last league i will ever have to join Now I wanna give my thanks to the staff and all the members for allowing me to keep making tourneys and doing what i love the most and thats by giving people a place to get together have a good time and for allowing me to share what i have learned as for as html, and for making me feel like a BUDDY, and I would like to give a special THANKS to roll.tide_dad for giving me the chance to practice this html stuff, and if he wouldn't have came and bailed me out with the Wildones, i just would not have had the drive or the ability or the patience to learn html, i would also like to thank chris aka( Spiderpaws) from YGIN in ladders, for giving me the insperation to atempt this HTML stuff, and i wanna give thanks gloopy who is a part of myleague.com who i about drove crazy trying to the very my veryfirst league (Y.G.J.F.F) established, well after the wildones merged and folded there was just to much involved with trying to build a league and that wasnt giving me much time to do what i love doing and thats makeing and playing in gin tournaments, hopefully this new league Buddies4fun will just be as good and last as long as the wildones did...If not longer!
