Hiatus

For the past week I have been in remission, not having a real care in the world and slacking off when and where possible. I started the week by playing hooky from work Monday and Tuesday because I just didn't have the motivation to go. Waking up and having a feeling of utter disappointment that the job you have is a retched demon slowly sucking the life out of you day by day can cause such actions. I keep asking myself if this is what I really want to do with my life and the responses so far aren't pleasant. My job isn't necessarily hard, it just lacks the challenge and structure that I need. I know I need a new job, that's undeniable, but my problem is if I should continue in the same field or should I try to find something else with which I have more of a passion. This is going to take some time to figure out.

I didn't play in the weekly blogger tourneys this week because I was just trying to make the most of my free time this week. I took time to hang out with friends I haven't seen in awhile and even took my dirt bike out of storage to clean it up and make it ridable again. I was glad to see it was able to start up with relative ease and it still ran well. It's also fun to piss off Mormons walking down the street as you ride a bike right next to them, haha. Sorry about that fellas.

I do plan on playing in the blogger tourneys here again. Maybe I'll make it out to Katitude's donkament tonight and have a little fun. Depends on when my parents plane gets in from London tonight tho. They're coming back from a nice vacation and I have to go pick them up. Well that's about it for right now. I know there wasn't a ton of poker today but hopefully that will change soon.

Back Into It

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.

My First

Well I guess I should start a blog seeing as it's the cool thing to do and I want to be cool too. I've been reading more and more blogs recently, mainly poker related, and starting to get into the whole blogging thing. So instead of just being a lurker feeding off the thoughts of others, I thought I'd at least participate a little. I really don't have a lot to write about usually, so I guess the main portion of this blog will be dedicated to poker and other miscellaneous ramblings of mine; first of which should be introductions I guess.

For the main part I am a HUGE nerd and after many years of denial I am quite happy with that fact. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science and am currently a web developer at a real estate service company. Not the greatest place to work right now but it's a start and I'm learning valuable things right now. I live in the armpit of beautiful Southern California in the Inland Empire, or IE if you're from around here. It's more commonly known to many Los Angelenos as the valley of the dirt people. I don't mind it, most people around here take pride in it, which shows you the mentality of the people here. But at least living in SoCal allows me to do lots of fun things when I get some time off: snowboarding, dirt bike riding, off-roading, and recently surfing. I'm not so good at the surfing, only been a few times, but definitely enjoy it and want to keep learning. As of recently poker has become a major time consumption of mine. I can't really call it a hobby because a hobby is supposed to be fun. I swear sometimes being kicked in the groin would be more enjoyable than some of the hits you take in poker. Currently I'm just playing low limit sit-n-go's trying to improve my game and try to move up thru the limits. I know I'll probably never make it big with poker but it's always fun to dream. Well I think that is mostly the gist of it. Hope I can keep this up, I've never been really good at sticking to goals.
