Catch up.

Just wanted to post a quick update of my life. School is done and it is looking permanent. I have been thinking long and hard about my decision and will continue to but right now my heart is with the game. For those who arent aware I turned 27 on the 13th of this month. Last year around this time I posted some goals for my 26th quite a few were accomplished and others werent. I was quite pleased with my 26th year here and look forward to what my 27th has in store. Finally, I will be living with the love of my life and our beatiful son on the 1st of this month. A huge change for me, but one for the better. I feel Our lives will be much easier now that we all will live in one place, hopefully the change will be good for Marcello too.

I know I know the weight issue. I have been in major idulgence mode and packed some pounds abck on which I will be looking to shed by the end of June as I will be in Vegas and then follow Vegas up with Hawaii. Now that school is done I will try to make a few more positive happy hippy like posts which I am notorius for.

Love life!

Wholy fuck!

It has been like forever. I am still alive, are you still checking this thing? Life has been good for the most part and big changes are taking place too. The love of my life will be moving into our house in June with our amazing son. I cant wait. No more lonely nights. Fuck! No more lonely nights. Double edged sword. i was thinking about looking back on my birthday post from last year as I believe little came to fruition. i will do that in the near future. Anyways life is good. School is almsot doen and I have been accepted to SSU for the Fall. Yeah real college. Poker is poker. My game is evolving everyday and I try and not worry to much about the results. I makes money end of story. Friends? well I have a ton but I never talk or interact with them much anymore. Hopefully that can change. If you are my friend feel free to call me. later.

Amazing!

The weather outside today is fucking awesome. I love spring for so many reasons. Anyways just to catch you all up I am challenging myself to play a shit ton of hands of poker this month and am blogging about it on my Plus EV blog which is linked on the right. School is going well too. So far two tests and two A's find out about the third tonight. Just started yoga again and my eating habits are hopefully getting back on track. 200Lbs by mid april? It will happen!

Hope you are doing well whoever you are. Remember one thing. No matter where you are in this life you chose to be there and you can choose better or worse. If you are stoked to be where you are then you are most likely doing it right. Choose to be happy and enjoy every little thing you can.

Results

I just real quickly wanted to report that I got 95% on theb test which I allowed to life tilt me. How fucking stupid! I have no clue why but tests drive me mad.

Why my life RULES!!!

I am my own boss. I have the most amazing girlfriend who loves me unconditionally. She has also allowed me the privelage of fathering her son. He is the most amazing human I know and also loves me unconditionally. Even though my family is one strange bunch they all love me unconditionally as well. I have proven that I can be succesful at something I am truly passionate about(POKER). Though I am still unsure of the real reason why I continue to attend, school comes easy to me for the most part. That is I give little effort and get decent grades. As for needs I have everything I truly need to get by in this world. As for wants I have the ability to achieve all I want. I have a super chill roomate who is actually a very close friend. basically my life is like a million times better right now then it was 1 year ago.

Why I am having a shit day? I allowed myself to let my early test frustrate me and escalate into a really negative vibe. I then decided to dwell in that vibe and some how found myself playing poker. Thus attracting some sweet coolers which escalated to me really fucking hating myself for a brief minute. Its been along time since I have been this down. This is why I wrote this blog. Life is good. It really is for the most part. Of course I want to quit school and focus 100% on poker but something keeps me going back. Its like I feel I have to get a degree for myself. In reality I have to complete this semester and then I will see how summer goes. I think if I do decide to finish school I am going to try to do my last 2 years in 3 semesters.

Lastly I have faithful blog readers who comment.

Hi

Ok so life has been stupid busy and I havent been blogging like ever. Thought it might be time for a quicky. For those who dont know I am attempting to wrap up my JC life by taking the last three classes I need to transfer this semester. I am a luckbox when it comes to instructors so my work load is super light. I do fear that the tests are going to be harder then excpected though as two of my instructors grade solely on tests. I dont hate this method but it can be challenging for those who dont study and test well.

Poker life has been great but being back in school sucks. Its fu8nny as now that I am back at college I am enjoying and wanting to do all things poker that much more. I wish I was as determined when I took a semster off from college as I am now. If you dont read my other blogs then you might not know that last month was actually my best ever as a profeshional poker player and I have started my climb to higher stakes. Currently I am playing 200NL and 400NL, this means I buy in for 400 or 200 dollars at a time.

On life, things are good. The major bump in the road right now is my living situation. Its super hard not living with my GF and son. It pains me to not see them to bed and wake with them in the morning. Plus all the other dynamics of actually residing in the same house. Unfortunately for financial and other reasons it looks like the separate housing will remain till August. Only 6 months I believe.

Health wise I am doing quite well. Of course I eat junk now and again but I am down to like 213 and dropping pounds as we speak. I havent missed a gym day since I started back(6 weeks). As for the drinking I have only gotten trashed once(superbowl) this year and kept my consumption to a minimum.


All and all I have alot to be grateful for. Of course I would chamge some things but, fuck, life is good.

Life is...

...too short. I dont know why I typed that. Anyways as you know I am always reading and the latest book is the 7 habits of highly effective people. the 1st habbit is becoming proactive. I havent fully grasped the whole idea but it centers on realizing that you create how you feel and no one else. Think about that statement. It is true. "Ah that jerk cut me off what a dick." You created that reality. I am mad because... You choose this emotion. You are the creator of your condition. This is obviously dumbed down. Let me give an exert: "Look at the word responsibility-"response-ability"- the abilty to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstanes, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. their behavior is a product of their own concious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Because we are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by concious decision or default, chosen to empower those things to control us.
In making such a choice, we become reactive."
