Ramblings

I’m going to ramble a bit here on various topics. I’m bored and wanted to write something poker related…not sure if anyone really checks this blog anymore, now that my south America trip is over…but meh.

Poker

I haven’t really played much at all the last 1.5 weeks. I went on my CO trip, which lasted 5 days, haven’t really played since. I’m fairly sure that I’m not the only one, either…each month, it seems as if more and more regulars (that is, in SSNL) are claiming they aren’t playing as much. I’m assuming they are somewhat like me, in that they don’t really enjoy poker much anymore. Like any obsession (especially one that involves heavy emotional attachment and insane variance), poker is one that gets fucking old. Unless you’re someone like durrrr who can play a billion hands at the highest levels (and one who obviously loves poker, and has for many years), it is hard.

I think all of us poker players hope to somehow rekindle the love we had when we first started. It probably won’t happen though. Reminds me of this song- Airplanes

/end bitching/whatever.

In other news, jungleman is playing durrrr in the durrrr challenge. Basically, durrrr has offered a sidebet of 3-1 for 500k (durrrr’s 1.5m to 500k) over a 50k hand headsup match of …100/200+ (I think?) of either PLO or NLHE. This is incredibly exciting and should make for great viewing. An older article on it- Cardplayer

Climbing and workout stuff

Has been going well…I’m still trying to get back the endurance I had pre-South America. I think I might go on another climbing trip west of here this coming week. I’m excited to learn more about outdoor climbing.

I’ve been doing martial arts as well, which has been a ton of fun. I’m afraid that I’m spreading myself too thin and not resting enough. I know that you’re supposed to give yourself a day or two between workouts (depending on extremity)- I’m having a hard time finding at least one day a week to rest. Today I’m hoping that I’ll be able to stay put and let my body heal…but we’ll see.

I think I’m probably going to quit the climbing wall next month and focus on martial arts. I still feel reasonably competent at climbing right now. The opposite is true with martial arts, and I need to focus on that a bit.

-Colorado is a very fun state, albeit a very pussy one. Hippy city galore, I couldn’t stand it. I was disgusted when I saw some douchebags sprawled out on the ground, chirping “donations for medical marijuana research?”…Part of me wanted to go over there and kick them in the face.

-I’ve been losing weight and I think it is due to my martial arts. As stated earlier, I need to work on resting more.

-College Football season is upon us and I cannot fucking wait…I plan on going to a few NU games this year, along with maybe a UF game.

-Inception is a must see movie and very good.

-Only a few more days until I finally get to pick up the last season of LOST on dvd…I still haven’t finished it due to being in South America. I might rewatch the entire show, thinking about it now.

-Moved my brother into college the other day. It depresses me alot when I think about college and how it is all over. So much fun…lucky bastard.

-Starcraft 2 has been eating up too much time. I play it for a few hours each day. Christ…

this is too long, so I’ll end it now. thanks for reading.
