Good luck with this Mr Nobody.

There is, quite reasonably, a degree of thinly veiled scepticism about this thread.

I have no idea who "Mr Nobody" is, but I have had a PM from one of THE most highly respected & totally trustworthy blondes who knows who it is, is aware of the backstory & details, & he assures me that the while thing is kosher.

The individual in question would look somewhat incongruous on a camel, I fear.

A surprising turn of events, but it increases the appetite to hear more of Mr Nobody's story.

I'm not sure whether this is going to be horrific or epic.

Whatever, I'm subscribed.

My first night of training wasn't easy.  So many hours staring at a screen can really start frying the eyes. The cards began imprinting on my iris'.
It's like a foreign language to me, but I have no choice but to learn this one so I'm hitting it head on. I'm a little out of my comfort zone, but comforts boring, there's time for that stuff when I'm old and decrepid. There's no time for negativity, no time for weakness.
My trainer was very patient and with it being my first night, he kept his cool completely, talking me through every decision, even though he had to repeat himself a million times. A very nice guy.
I went to bed feeling run down and confused with a very sore neck and a pulsing headache, so much for no weakness!
Tomorrow's a new day so I'm going to get up early, have some decent breakfast before having a little nap and getting straight back to training.

I woke up late and missed breakfast but it was ok, I felt really good. I made my way to the pool, black coffee in hand and had my first cig of the day. The sun beamed on me which made me feel even better. This is such a nicer start to the day than sitting on my door step at home shivering.
I grabbed a quick bit of lunch and headed back to training. I'm going to smash it today!
I had a good one to one session with my trainer, I was still missing obvious cards and making stupid decisions, but I was noticing them as soon as I made them which was a good sign. Again, I've never met such a patient guy, hour after hour he sat there, complelty focused, which made me work even harder. Today was good.
It got to 3 oclock in the morning and he called it a day. I showed tiredness in the bags under my eyes and was told to sleep.
I checked my phone to find some messages from home. It wasn't great. A couple of days in and all I was really recieving from home were comments saying they missed me and how shit they felt that I wasn't  there. I guess it's part of the dilemma of doing this work when you've got a family waiting at home. Am I a bad parent? All I can think is that "I'm  doing this for them, it's going to make life so much easier, it's only short term."
Me and my girlfriend ended up arguing through the negative comments, its not that I wanted her to suck it up and get on with it, obviously I want to know what she's thinking and feeling but not constantly about the bad stuff. If you start to dwell on negativity all the time it will make anyone ill! I needed support as much as she did but we said our peace and called it a day.
I laid in bed feeling shit again. Even if i could have them with me, this is no life for a family getting dragged around for. I must remain confident in myself and my decisions.

Every morning seems to be the same. I'd love to sleep in, but adjusting the body clock after so many years of school runs is difficult.
Sat looking over the water shimmering was hypnotic and hardly heard the waiter stood at the side of me. I turned my sore, stiff neck to see him looking very cheery, he was a nice guy and spoke hardly any English. "My friend, what you want?"
I ordered my black coffee, which again, he thought was quite strange and proceeded rolling a cig and continued to think.
I never even liked black coffee at home but it was a nice 'pick me up' here. Thank you coffee god!
The first thing I had to do was sort out the argument from the night before, it wasn't fully resolved and I couldn't function with bad feelings. There's no place for bad feelings miles apart from each other, life's too short.
As soon as she answered, she apologised for what had happened, I apologied for being snappy and we got on with talking about the good times.
I felt awesome, especially after a little chat with my mentor at home. He always knew how to put my mind back on the right track and gave me more encouragment to keep focused.
I jumped straight back in to training on my own. I focused. I had my head phones in and went through each card slowly like I was reading it pixel by pixel. It was clicking. My errors were low, confidence sky hign and after two hours, I had to take a break, not from fatigue but from disbelief at how well I was doing.  Was I dreaming?
Another coffee and a cig, I headed back to my room to find it full. My trainer sat down with me and I explained my success. He looked really pleased and asked me to show him.......I fell to pieces like I'd never played......what's going on.....he looked at me like I had been cheating before. This isn't good.
We went out for some food, a change of scenery will help.
The food was nice but made me feel sick. Another few hours of training with pain in my gut had the same results. Not good. I put it down to being tired and then after more stupid mistakes, I put it down to being colour blind. And then shape blind. He laughed and just said I was completely blind.

The morning after I feel good, still keeping my positivity. Drinking more black coffee and thinking of happy times at home. Today is the day I impress. I'm the under dog. But I know in myself I can do this. I'm not stupid by any means, just a little careless, need to keep focus. As I thought this, out of no where, the sun broke through the clouds warming my shivering legs, I think it's time to walk. Back to my room I head. This is it. Time to kick some arse!

Peace and love.

Certainly reads more like a book in the making than a real life quest. Goodluck which ever it is.

I feel like this is the biggest tease ever... More info please.  How many people needed to do this?  Why are u the chosen 1 to be trusted with $500k of backers money?  If your training is on comp can u not just do the thing ur training for online?  How much do u hope to earn? Will u be sellin an e-book if it works? GL hope u get what u want from it, sounds an exciting time of life whatever the outcome.  Gl gl gl
