I love Canada. I've seen numerous moose, deer, beavers, wtfeversmallerthings all throughout my life. However, I now live in a fairly suburban area... this surprised the hell out of me this morning.
Cheers guys.
ps. Actually, a huge beaver den about a 5 min walk from my place.. I'll take pics next time I go
Again. I've always loved this movie... and I know there's a fair amount of movie buffs on this site. Anyways. Enjoy.
Last Of The Mohicans.
For the non-believers -
In other news? I dunno. I actually watched quite a bit of joe's podcast. I always thought he was a flaky fucker... but really, none of us know anyone until they hang out. Benj's bullshit is inspiring me (to play more plo). Actually started watching instructional videos again (it's been a solid ... fuck... 6 years since I've done that?), and sometimes when I'm walking around town I'm thinking about the game again. I used to be a sponge, then I turned into a brick. Props to all of you who are still thinking/learning/etc. I wanna join your crowd.
I guess plo is making me think about poker again. Also making me play better at nlhe. I was (still am dammit) an autopilot sorta at nlhe for ages.
What else. Bro moved in. Awesomeness. Found a wicked ass spot to hang out/drink/swim on a lake. It's about a 15 minute walk away. I'd link pics, but I'm not very good with my phone. Why am I boring you assholes with my life. We all eat eggs. Except for gotunk... he probably eats turkeys for fucks sake.
Cheers guys.
Tldr? Sweet video. Yes I'm inebriated. Wow, I also spell well.
If some of you guys listen to it, I'd be curious to know if you found it inspiring. I used to be a high-level hockey player, and I found slow kinda songs more inspirational than the normal lah-de-dah bullshit, so it would be cool to see what you guys think.
For some reason I'm thinking of freaksir(sp?), that guy has been handing out golden advice lately. Props to him. He makes me realise I'm so bad at this game... I love it though.
In other news, gonna give hyper husng's a whirl, see what that's like (sup fuji! Adding you now, just been hella busy regrinding this week).
I also dabbled in plo a little bit over the last week in between my marathon poker sessions just to change it up a bit. I'm considering taking that up. I think a good plo player would make $$$ much much faster than nl players.
Sup LP. Tons of news. I know you shitbirds don't like to read long-winded posts, so I'll try to keep it short.
Skip down if you don't give a shit about personal stuff (I wouldn't). I wonder why I write this shit from time to time. I blame it on the beer in my hand.
POKER -
hahaha, was doing great, until the last 6 weeks. Summers been so hot, lakes have been so beautiful, fucked the dog there - had to swim and read in the sun. Found out last night I have to move soon (either out of the city with my bro, to the city with a buddy, or some other place with another bro. Yeah, I love my brothers), so I got hammered with my current bro and played some plololol HU. Drunk Devon isn't good, nor is sober Devon haha.
Anyways, I'll continue that rant later.
LIFE -
Wowwwwwwwwwww fellas. Some of you may know I'm joining the military as an officer (put this piece of shit ~$60k degree to use), and the recruitment centre in Halifax is notoriously incompetent. I basically have to do their job for them. Anyways! In the medical, I had supremely high blood pressure... got that all checked out, had to wear a machine for a day - turns out I'm good in that department. Had to get my eyes and my right ear checked.. good and bad. Turns out I hear like a ninja, but high octaves (5khz-7khz) are foreign to me. Anyways, I'm good on the heart, eyes (perfect candidate for lasik), and semi-ear front. High blood pressure (for me) is often attributed to 'white coat syndrome'. Basically, you get a bit anxious cuz you're getting tested in a doctors office.
Man guys. I don't want to write much. First time in after getting my first blood work done, doc was all pausing and shit... talking about hepatitis, saying I gotta get checked for all three "just to make sure". I was shitting bricks man. Thinking stuff like "How am I going to date girls in the future, when I have to say "Sup, I got the hep ", anyways. I lost sleep for a while. I'm CLEAN. That required a party or two at my buddies place.
Right. Turns out that was all due to an over-active liver. Have to cut down the drinking sometime. Tomorrow.
Oh yeah, moving soon. Right when I got comfy in my current place. Fuck it. I was super pissed off (oh yeah, I blew my bankroll last night due to the drunk session cuz of it haha), but realised, whatever. Worry is the most useless emotion ever. Do something or shut up.
Anyways, getting into the military is slow as fuck now, since everyone is starting to realize what a good gig it is (private sector sucks for 90%+ people up here in Canada), I'll be making ~80k in 6 years. Not gonna get rich, but it'll be stable. Want to be a logistics officer, but it's CRAZY in demand, and my resume is fucking balls - am broadening my 'choices'.
I realised that, after the last few months that I make rent/bills/cell/wtf.ever that all I do is make my MINIMUM and then get totally fucked up and piss the rest away for the rest of my 'time off'. Last month I pissed away 2 weeks. This month I'm already paid up.
Fuck this 'getting by' nonsense. I want to travel. I want to rock the fuck out.
I'm done with getting hammered all the time. I want to make a 'fund' that I can go rock the world with.
I have a tendency to be long winded. I'll try to do the opposite. Before I go on, props to spets for his beautiful contributions to the community.
So. I'm trying to get into the military. I'm applying for a highly demanded job (logistics officer), and I may have had a few minor brush ins with the law in the past. No convictions or anything, but the CSIS agents (ummm, CIA I guess for Canada?) track all that shit down. So that's gonna hurt my chances a bit. Or more than a bit. I'm living in a tiny city in Canada, told my bro I'd live with him for a year, so I can't bail and move out west - where all the money/jobs are. Time out, Break.
In December/January, I applied like a crazy bastard to allllll kinds of jobs in the greater city area. All I got were offers to sell credit cards and likewise shit things at grocery stores/walmarts. Fucking degrading. Spent 60k+ on a degree, graduated on the deans list, can't even get a fucking secretary job due to my work experience.
I'm sick and fucking tired of this poker life. All I'm doing is getting by. I want to pull ahead. I've been told by numerous people I should bullshit my way into my first job - aka, fake my resume/work experience.. I'm hesitant to do it, it just doesn't feel right. I have an uncle who owns a decent sized medi-vac business, and a couple friends who said they'd vouch, but I just feel funny doing it.
Anyways. I'll figure that shit out.
Started working out again. Used to be an elite athlete, I'm now a soft piece of fucking shit. Luckily the gym I joined (close by, cheap as balls) has a tiny ass weight room, was empty. Holy fuck it was self defeating trying to find what I can do for shoulder raise, simple bench, stand up curls.... fuck.... hahaha. For those of you that know, I settled at 30lb dumbbells for free bench. didn't even attempt incline or decline. ffffuuu. I look forward to the challenge, I know it comes back fast.
What else. Girlfriend and I of 4+ years broke up. Big hit, not gonna lie. I was a bad boyfriend. Luckily all of life is a learning experience.
Keeping in theme, I finally recognized the fact I have a drinking problem. It's my escape. It also makes me sweat ridiculously throughout the night, get hot/cold flashes (hello menopause), shit liquid permanently, have semi-fuzzy brain functionality, and all around fuck with my way of life. This is a tough one to overcome, but I'm slowly battling it.
Diet. I've lived off of sandwiches for basically the last ~4 years. With some other dietary nutrition thrown in here and there. I'm actively working on this. I'm in the midst of making some sort of 'plan' that I intend on posting in the diet thread on LP. I hope the gurus will bash my plan into smithereens, that's why it'll be posted.
As for poker? I've found, when I don't drink, I fucking rule. I know it's micros, but really. There's literally one dude who I dislike playing against. Sadly, I drink and get a foggy mind more often than I should. Fuck I want a real career, I lack the self discipline to ever become a real contender in this game we call vice.
Here I am.
long winded as fuck. I didn't really go into detail. I think I may have OCD hahaha.
Bit late, but just got back from a family reunion type thing in Montreal. FU 14 hour drives back and forth, FU. Was a hell of a trip, got to see many cousins and aunts and uncles that I haven't seen in literally 10+ years. Really inspired me to get out to central canada more often to see my family.
Anyways, started the month at nl25. I've started a new system where I immediately lock myself out of pokerstars as soon as I finish making my first drink, or have my first beer.
What I was doing since April was cashing out anything in my BR over 1000, then decided to move up to nl50, and continued doing that with everything over 2000. Hope I don't hit a massive snag and have to move back down to nl25, but who knows what's gonna happen.
Nice upswing at the end of the month, gotta like them.
If I have another good month, I'll think of padding the BR up to 3k - then start cashing out everything after that. Unsure yet.
GL everyone, since I'm unable to play poker after late nights of drinking, I'll make certain to continue posting dumbass comments from time to time.
project! spilt a drink on the laptop last night - lost the letter after l and the next two keys - conna and period
