What To Do, What To Do?

It seems like I'm at a crossroads in my life where I need to figure out which direction I need to go. I've seriously been thinking about moving to Vegas and getting a job in a casino. I love that city, and I really think it would fit me well. I also know it would be easier to try to make it playing poker, but I know that I still have a long way to go in that, and I'm not going to try to rush it. I mean, how could you pass this up?


On the other hand I could stay here and try to save money to buy a house. If I do that, I have to find a new job. When Ozzy Osborne wrote "Road to Nowhere", I think he was talking about my job. It is such a dead end job, and everyday I go in there I feel like such a sucker. I look at it as I'm losing money not having a better job, rather than making money. To put it in poker terms, this job has me "drawing dead". So if anyone knows of any jobs, give me a call and let me know about em'!

On the poker front things are looking about the same. Had a rough night last night and dropped $60, but got most of it back tonight. I got a sweet bonus for referring my dad to Bodog, so I'm trying to play enough hands to clear that. I also used my money to deposit for him, so I'm playing that to clear his bonus. I don't trust him to play it...he's not very good!

Well...that's all I've got. Til next time, keep dreamin!

Life's Been Pretty Boring

The reason I haven't posted in awhile is because I don't really have too much to talk about. Life has been pretty boring lately, so there has been nothing worth sharing.

I had a good weekend this weekend. Got to hang out with some friends I don't normally get to hand out with, so that was cool. We played in a softball tournament, but we got SPANKED every single game, so that sucked.

Haven't really made too much money playing poker online, but I've been slowing creeping my way back up. Hopefully I can get a big score in a tournament, but that hasn't happened yet so I'm not holding my breath.

I just finished the book "One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey "The Kid" Ungar". It was a great book, and made me wish that I had the natural talent for cards that he was blessed with. It also made me sad that someone with that talent couldn't defeat his personal demons, and ended up paying the ultimate price. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes poker.

That's all until next time...cheers!

So Much For Posting More Often!

I've been so busy I can't even see straight. I've also been really tired. I think I might go to the doctor for a physical, I shouldn't be this tired. I did get a chance to read the new book "The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King". It is terriffic. I recommend checking it out if you even remotely like poker. Reading that book makes me realize how much I want to be a professional poker player and live that lifestyle...but it also made me realize how far away I am. I'm still not going to quit trying, but we'll see what happens.

Well, that's all for now. Don't really have much to say.
