I’m sick of it. Whenever I feel the greatly needed motivation to grind my fingers to the bones and I’m just about to start fulfilling the perfect plan of becoming a real poker player who knows what he’s doing and can’t be stopped, something must happen. In September it was a trip to Bulgaria, in October it was moving into a new apartment, in November I just preferred spending time with my girlfriend, in December I spent 3 weeks in the US. This time it was relationship issues that I’ve already managed to fix. But now, after almost 2 weeks of drama and a couple days of sunshine, love and rainbows and stuff, I don’t feel the legendary motivation that I mentioned before. For the last couple of months I have been struggling to get on track with everything I had planned for the gap year and it still seems impossible to me to get things done.
I can’t win, I can’t grind, I can’t analyze, I stopped watching coaching videos. I know everything I need is a couple small steps away but I need to make them in the right direction and focus damn hard on it. I thought I’d start with this short blog entry. It is supposed to be square one of the right path in the game I want to play and finally – win.

Nice blog man, like the song and gl with poker. I seriously want to take a year off from everything as well and travel/poker as much as I can. As for the motivation, that's a tricky subject as I can't really call myself a motivated person (quit 3 studies within first year). But, whenever I feel like more motivation is needed I watch 'The pursuit of happyness' - you've probably seen it but if not, give it a try.
Btw, nice quote from Karma :D
Look at his hand and equities, what do you expect him to have here, uno cards? - TianYuan
I'm taking this year off to try poker full time too, and I am sick of it aswell but I'll give it my best shot for sure
Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol

man when you said "something gets in the way" I was thinking more along the lines of death in the family, car accident, hands mutilated by dogs, etc. But lets see... two vacations to Bulgaria and US, moving to a new apartment (takes a week at most), and then in november you just wanted to get laid more often...
lol i dunno, i don't see a problem.

I take it back. I do see a problem, but it is 100% self inflicted.
You're 100% right, it's all my fault and that is why I need to change my attitude and get better at DOING things instead of complaining all day long that I can't find any motivation
