Hey lately I've been doing a lot of looking into of conspiracy theories after seeing Zeitgeist. While some of what you see in Zeitgeist is obv bullshit, there is definitely some truth to it. The key message is to question everything, seek knowledge, and make up your own mind. This is a series of 7 videos I found on youtube about a place called "Bohemian Grove". Watch and make up your own mind.

Ok so for the past 4 months or so, I haven't touched the game. I decided I'd focus more on uni and take a break from poker. Exams finished 3 weeks ago, results came out (I did the same as I've done previous semesters =/ ) and since then I've returned to playing. Deciding that FTP really is RIGGD, I decided to put $500 on stars and grind up from 25nl to ease my way back in. I've noticed the games on stars are fairly soft, there are quite a few fish but then there are also quite a few multi-tabling nitty regs. Not only that, but most of the fish don't really get involved in big pots without the nuts. So, while its easy to make money, it takes a lot of diligent grinding and disciplined play to do so. Here's the graph of my run at 25nl: (Note the first 6k hands I donked around really bad, playing like 28/26 and trying to run stations over...obv failed haha).

Holidays only last for 1 more week, but I don't return to uni: I'm doing research in a lab at a hospital for a year. Hopefully it's not too full-on, and I won't have any commitment to it at home, so I can continue playing poker for the coming year. In non-poker related stuff, I have a long to-do list of games to complete: On XBox360 I have to finish Lost Odyssey, GTA4, DMD mode on DMC4, Ninja Gaiden 2 (this is fucking hard) and Gears of War. Also, I'm going to go out and buy a parts for a new computer in a few days. While not finalized, the setup seems to be: Core2Duo 8500 ATI Radeon 4850/4870 (undecided on which card to get yet) 4gig DDR2 ram Appropriate case and PSU 22" LCD My friend made a detailed list of the exact parts and costs, it should be$1.2 - $1.4k Australian dollars. And ready to kick ass in SC2 at max settings (hopefully) when it finally comes out. Finally, some funny youtube videos which bag creationists (if you are a creationist, lol @ you) There's over 20 videos in this series, but these 3 are amongst the funniest. I suggest you listen while you grind, it's good entertainment and tilt relief (unless of course you're a creationist, but in that case you probably think poker is all about luck and suck).

So I had my jaw surgery yesterday, it was 3.5 hour operation. Thankfully, the surgeon only had to adjust my upper jaw, so my lower jaw remains unscathed. I still feel the effects of the general anesthetic, although it is very mild now. The nerve blocks they used during the surgery are wearing off, so I am beginning to feel dull throbbing pain. However, it is far less severe than I imagined it would be, so I'm very relieved. My face is massively swollen, I'll post photos of myself later if I can be bothered. I'm very tired and have a headache. The most frustrating thing is not being able to eat anything except for complete mush, and I have frequent nose bleeds. I'm told these will go away soon, and within a week I should be able to chew soft foods. I'm very tired, but I can't sleep properly because I favor positions where I have my face buried in the pillow: Obviously that's not possible because it is painful to touch my face around the mouth area, so I have to get by on fragmented sleep on my back :(. Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery!
