Haven't posted a blog before on this site. Granted it's pretty self-explanatory, but most things are - and it's never stopped me from fucking up in the past.

It's been a year or so since I last played BW. I'd intended to quit beforehand because I developed a ridiculously severe case of CTS (the nerve condition, not good poker play), and I didn't want to travel to the poorly organized WCG regionals. I was offered a last-minute opportunity to qualify online, but without any time to practice and with the CTS leveling my apm at like 180, down from 300, not to mention idra, artosis, skew, nyoken in my bracket, I just went out and got hammered the night before. I woke up late for the qualifier, got hammered by nyoken, hammered artosis, and was ultimately hammered a final time in the crucial match with idra. Anyway, I'm sMi.failsafe from starcraft.

I'm leaving for China tomorrow at 3 a.m. CST to study economics, the culture, and Mandarin Chinese. My flight leaves from ATL to LA or some Cali city, then from there to Ghuangzhou. From Ghuangzhou to Kunming. Hoping my million to one against crashing holds one time. I've been adjusting my sleep schedule hardcore, partially because, with the end of the semester, I finally can, and partially to mitigate jetlag. Quite tired as of now as a consequence of a lot of pool and drinking last night at my parents' house with my friends from high school, and from being awake a long time at a stretch.

So I'm testing this blog, and I've got a camera for the trip. I'll test it now as well so that I have a before and after China picture comparison. I plan to relentlessly grow my hair and beard while in China as I have no desire to pack a razor or shaver.





These pictures confirm my suspicions that my parents' cocaine addictions played hell with my genetics. Granted, I'm adopted, so it's all speculation, but the massive assymetry is pretty damning.

Once I return from China, I've got a surgery scheduled to repair my wrist. If all goes well I'll be able to play poker and starcraft again in about four months. Staritng to feel nauseated from lack of sleep and food, and I've gotta move fairly heavy stuff today, so good morning, and good night.
