I went to bed late last night, I mean really late. Only one think raced through my mind…did I win? Did I win? Did I win? It sounds like an obsession…no I didn’t win. I woke up in the morning, got me some breakfast, okay enough singing now. Anyway, I woke up in a happy mood, thinking I did win though. Everyday, I feel guilty e-mailing Special Reserve when the rules tell me not to. Even though it’s not regarding any complaints about me losing, but I still feel guilty disturbing them so many times. I just read the latest GAD winner for every GAD prize. My wish one day (like many others here) is to win on every single GAD Prize there is; film, discussion, game reviews; everything. I know, I know, it sounds greedy and selfish…but it’s true and besides, many of you feel the same way, I am sure.
This is not a complaint, but actually a topic to let out my steam for not winning. I don’t smoke, so I am doing this instead. Here it goes…AAAAAHHHHH! There, I feel a lot better now. No, no I don’t. Oh man…I feel much worse. Oh well...

I recently went through many users info, finding someone who has been here near enough the same amount of time I have. I found one (not mentioning any names). NO! NO! I'm not going to mention names, you can forget it, its wrong. No! Oh okay, if you insist...actually, forget about it. (Humour...sir) Anyway, that particular person has one twice and has only done around 29 reviews, mo cheats and not posts in the forums. Well, in fact that is very good. I mean he/she has been here a little longer than me. 29 reviews, I guess that’s reasonable enough, don’t you? I wish that person all the best. Regarding myself, just look at my info. Go on…click the on my ‘stats’ link. Don’t worry it wont bite, lol. You see that, you see that! It says…what the heck does it say anyway? Oh yeah, it says that I have been here of for almost 40 wonderful, wonderful days now. No wait, scratch the second wonderful, it hasn’t been that great. I didn’t win. It also says, that I have won a GAD prize, which I am most greatful for SR, thank you. It shows that I have made almost 14,000 words to become a regular on the site which I am not yet, and shows that I have submitted cheats and even hints. Now tell me one thing, pleeeaaaaase. What is wrong with my reviews? Is it my loyalty to Special Reserve, for being so polite to them whenever e-mails are sent? Is that the reason I don’t win? Because it seems that I am being too polite because I want to win? Well…I am a polite person and I just can’t help it ooooweee...I'm so excited oh no no no no! LOL - Yeah, no is the right answer isn’t it? HAHA! Enough singing now, lol. I am polite because I want to be polite, not because I am expecting miracles and 100 prizes or something. I personally think that most of my reviews are great. Coming back to that person who one twice and like me has been here for around 40 days now…he/she has some good reviews. Yes…I read them…I read them aaaalllll. But what about me, what about my reviews? The magazines like them, and they are the people who specialise in this stuff.

UKchatforums.com: 80 posts, 13103 words.
UKcheats.com: 5 cheats, 1 hints.
UKreviews.com: 26 reviews.

See that…that’s all my stats. Just look at how beautiful it looks. Yeah right, HAHA! Beautiful? WOW! Do I speak a lot for stats or what!

Anyway, hopefully when I sleep tonight, I can sleep in peace, now that I know that I lost. Atleast it’s reinsuring to know something I waited for day, after day…after day.

Sometimes I feel that I only won on my Burnout review as a welcoming to the company as a new user by the people responsible for reading reviews (no offence directed to anyone at SR whatsoever)

I am not expecting to win this one, but if I did, I would feel the same way, as if I only one because of my sadness of not winning. Nevertheless, I would appreciate winning more than anything in the world…besides good health and happiness of course. But winning leads to happiness, don't you agree?

Thanks for stopping by everyone and the best of luck to all of you as well.

How can it have a point if it's blunt? Eh? EH?

I have successfully contradicted myself twice in the above statement.

Sometimes I astound myself.
