Today is a good day. I'm finally starting to get back into the normal everyday grind again after a nearly three week hiatus. Last night I made sure I went to the grocery store so I could start eating right again, it's amazing how much affect that has on normal functionality. The past two weeks I've felt sluggish and dead to the world because of not eating properly. Not to mention I killed myself this past weekend with all the booze that I barely was able to function on Monday going to work. I'm not regretful of this past weekend because I had a great time hanging out with my buddies, hitting on waitresses, going shooting and playing the occasional game of Gears of War. However it's definitely time to focus on my goals once again.
I've already played a couple of tables tonight, $.05/.10 NLHE, and am up around $10 right now. I'm just waiting for the weekly Mookie to start right now so I can maybe try to get some damn player points for the Battle of the Bloggers. I haven't gotten any points yet and I've played in three or four tourneys so far; horrible I know. So wish me some good luck/skill tonight cause I think I'm gonna need all I can get.

Another Week
As I stated earlier in this blog I'm not much of an avid writer, hence the lack of posting here in the past couple of weeks. An old friend of mine came in from New Jersey for vacation and to see old friends last week and I spent some time hanging out with her and her friend that came out. The ladies mentioned before they came out that they would like to go wine tasting so I decided to take them down to the Temecula valley to hit up some of the wineries there. We ended up going to three wineries down there and we barely made those seeing as my friend decided to pound the wine she didn't like instead of pouring them out. So by the last winery she was pretty toasted which was rather fun to see although I think we scared out everybody at the last winery. The first two wineries we went to didn't impress me very much with their selections. The last winery, Stuart Cellars, gave a bit of fresh air with their award winning Viogner and a very interesting White Merlot. Now I prefer red wines more than white wines but I have a soft spot for Viogners, they have such a wonderful texture and taste to them that I don't get with other white wines. I think I may have to make another visit down there soon to pick up a bottle or two.
Saturday I hung out with my Jersey friend and her friends from Cali, which most of them are mine as well so thats makes it better. We went to downtown Redlands and hung out at a few of the bars down there. Nothing real special that night. On Easter she was having dinner at her best friend's house and I was more then appreciative to accept an invitation to be with them. My family doesn't really celebrate a lot of holidays together 'cause they're usually a bit busy to get together, so spending time with my friend and everyone there was real nice. The rest of the week my friend was taking in SoCal, going out to Los Angeles, San Diego and the usual. Luckily we all got to have dinner before they left to go back to Jersey on Friday. We all hung out at my place afterwards for about an hour, we said our goodbyes and then they were headed home.
What really sucks is that this will probably be the last time I will ever see my friend. She has been way too busy recently trying to start her life that it becomes difficult to even keep in touch. Hell, it's been three years since the last time I ever saw her, it will likely be even more now, if ever. Life sucks. I don't understand it. Ok, that's the end of my emo rant. I'm done now.

April Goals
Well it's the beginning of April and time to set some goals for myself.
- Gain 3 pounds, which means eat 2800+ calories a day
- Do week 6 & 7 of Couch-to-5K
- Bench 96 pounds in my workout regimen
- Leg press 375+ in my workout regimen
BBT Kickoff
Last night was the kick off for the new Battle of the Blogger Tournaments over at the MATH (Mondays at the Hoy) hosted by Hoyazo. Unfortunately my first attempt didn't fair so well, I think I was out in 32 out of 47. Not good at all I know, but I hope to play in as many of these tournaments as possible because these guys are really good and I'm sure it will help me improve my game significantly. Now I just need to get good enough to place in some of those $26 token tourneys, it'd make it easier for me to buy into the MATH tourney. I also played a SNG last night where I placed 3rd, with a horrible suck out for that place (shoulda had 2nd), but at least I placed and that's the important thing. I also played a cash game but was messing around too much and I ended $7 down at the end of that. Lets just hope that's the last time that happens.
