Had my biggest month last month since restart at nl5
some $1400 or sth across the limits
All felt great, ignoring results completely doing sports etc. Met a pal from Scotland in Prague, did Spartan Race, loads of good stuff.

I started doing some heavy reading thinking about philosophy and science - I picked up this book

history of science and how different branches were discovered from astronomy physics, geology etc. thinking about all that. Meditating as well quite a bit.
started watching dota2, game of thrones (seen all of em in last 2.5weeks YEEZ )
learned shit ton done math on many hands, crawled forums,skype a lot, started playing zoom (moar volumes, that thing's crazy bad for my slow brain. I beat it pretty well tho 25 and small sample 50)
basically overloaded my brain shit loads, and my concentration started deteriorating, I started caring about results again and couldn't force myself to stop. Plus they closed down sauna over the summer except the weekend so there went a big part of my Monday off.
Soon enough I just kinda imploded one session and had -13BI in 1.5hrs total spewage and my brain told me to stahp.


The next day I went to the gym to buy 10x entry pass, and bough a monthly pass by accident.
I've been 5 times in 6 days since
Also I went to a cafe on Saturday to relax playing some dota.
I've played 47games since then
http://dotabuff.com/players/120361733
didn't play the game for 9 months, yet was given 4k MMR right away so was getting hammered but picked it up since then had some 22-2 viper and 20-0 SF games, no big deal


Oh well random rant over.
I've uninstalled Dota again, and shall bid it goodbye until TI4 which I simply have to watch, it's a HUGE thing 10mil+prize pool is just sick. I sure love the new kid, Excalibur his Tinker and Meepo are out of this world, seeing him rape Alliance with both was awesome.
But as for me playing - I simply can't. It's way too addictive and although it was awesome when I needed a break from poker, I can never do both at the same time unfortunately. I mean 40hrs in 6 days with 10hrs of gym inbetween come on bro


Going forward
Tomorrow I plan on keeping up my gym regime - go at least 4x per week. I focus on sprints and large muscle groups.
And most of all Keep shit simple
I don't have to read duper heavy books that tax my brain so bad (modern physics is a HUGE CLUSTERFUCK for example. Just read some of the stuff. The people must be doing drugs.)
exercise, family, friends, poker.
Spending a ton of time on LP is counter productive too but it's where I shall keep trying to break down my ranges. I played a short sesh only to find out I'm too emotional still (fear mostly) but I realized I don't know what my ranges are in loads of spots nor what I really do with the edges of them - I pretty much click buttons, so instead of learning anything new at all looking at what I do already and tinker with that shall be my focus now. There's no need for new ideas for maybe a few months - just watchign vids to see what other people's ranges are really.


Well thanks for reading guys. If anyone actually has I'd be surprised I had to get it out and get ready for a massive restart - mandatory blog saving ladies follow. I'll be opening Skype tomorrow too so sorry for being AFK

that book's so sick man I didn't finish it yet am at oceanography now (p400or sth)
but it's really well written but really hard on the head - you really read a few pages and can think about that stuff for hours.

I read some 4 books on buddhism.
also this one - it was rly cool.


I got some textbooks, history of psychology and another on philosophy.

Also, don't laugh, but I read Watchmen graphic novel - dr Manhattan's parts are some heavy stuff

I've got a book "next fifty years" and "30seconds for science" and they have hawking's books at the library as well so yeah I could get lost in this easily and the more you think about these things the more questions arise and it becomes a huge clusterfuck in your head.

Add to that game of thrones and loads of poker and no fucking wonder my brain overloaded.

After I finish that book I'll try go back to nice relaxing novels, if they won't feel pointless

Red haired girl with the yellow top is ridiculously smoking. Favourite one by far.

Dunno why people would laugh about the watchmen, that movie was awesome. And books are always better.

Cheer Sir Lemonge, hope you have a good July sir!
