sooooo this is going to be a long blog (for my standards anyways). I have a lot of stuff I want to write...i'm in that weird type of mood and I haven't blogged in forever.
Anyways I began the school year (august) probably around 200 lbs. My roommates and I started to smoke the ganja constantly. In fact we became major pot heads. I'd find myself skipping all my classes daily to sit around the bong and play halo/starcraft/poker all day. Well as you can guess my GPA dropped a decent amount (=parents freak out). So we continue to smoke non stop and around thanksgiving I decide to make a life change. I went home for thanksgiving, bought a weight bench from craigslist and brought it back up with me to FSU. Turns out that it might have been the best decision i've ever made. I begin working out daily from the comfort of my own room and I drop a significant amount of weight (think like 40-50 lbs total now). I went from working out maybe 3-5 times before in my entire life to consistently doing it every day. Let me tell you that the change in your body is slow but if I showed you pictures from like 8 months ago it would be mind blowing. I know most people on here live a sedentary life style and I really don't want to preach but working out (at least running) can do so much for your body and mind. Now I joined a MMA gym and i'm taking boxing / jiu jitsu classes. Boxing 3 days a week and jiu jitsu 4 days. Like I said this change (not a huge one..just requires an hour a day and eating somewhat properly) will be life changing for anyone. I can honestly say i've never been happier with what i'm doing now.
School wise i've been doing a lot better and my GPA has re-stabalized haha. I stopped smoking weed (I mean i'll do it once in a while) and I no longer have that pot head feeling where everything slows down and you can't remember what happened yesterday. Girl situation...i went after one of my girl roommate's best friends. It was basically understood that we would be dating once she returned to FSU (fuck you distance). Anywho I completely fucked up that (I was running soooo hot). I suggest no one does the whole long distance thing. Although, it is slightly my fault but lets be real...all girls are bat shit crazy. I'll still never understand anything that went down but you live and learn. win some lose some lol.
And now we get to the fun part, poker. I've watched some good poker buddies turn pro while i've been chiefing on 25/50NL for like forever. And the story begins (about a year ago).....I had like a 6k BR on UB and I was playing 100NL. I had just gotten straate to agree to give me some lessons when I got to 200/400NL (wow I fucked that upppp). I cashed out my 6k in order to move to one of those sites that shut down and scammed everyone. Thankfully my parents stepped in and forced me to put that money in the bank (I hated having to do that but i'm somewhat happy I did now haha). So...after I cashed out I became a pot head and proceeded to never play. I think I lost my love for the game. I could play a session but I was so results oriented that i'd usually end up stopping 30 minutes in. I would play a session once every few days (...which is why I got nowhere). Luckily the whole get in shape thing put my life back on track and i've regained what I felt before I became a pot head. I've been playing for the past few weeks or so seriously and i've made like ~1k. Just moved up to 50NL and I feel my game is the best it has ever been. Working out has given me so much stamina and focus that I feel unstoppable at all the tables. At this pace i'll be at 100NL in a week or so. Damn i'm feeling good and I feel extremely fortunate.
Major shout outs:
MaxUT - dude has always been there for me. Whether we talk about poker or bullshit stuff in life. He's been such a good friend.
Oddeye - I remember when he was struggling with 50NL. Now he's a super baller. Thankfully he hasn't forgotten his roots and for some odd reason he still talks to me and helps me out (haha...just kidding ). He's also coming to hang out at the end of this month...we're going to blazeeee and play poker (open invitation to everyone...Tallahasse, Florida. Florida State University. Free place to stayyyyy). Did I mention he's an awesome friend, too? Also my love for zeppelin has been shipped to him.
Damn i'm running hot in life. I can't complain about anything (although I haven't gotten laid in a while...working on that).
Here's some music that I dance to while i'm dominating the tables:
That's enough for now..E.L.O is so badass. Amazing poker music.
One final note...i'll be trying to make a new post every week with some hand discussion, etc. I need to start improving my game again. I'm shooting for the stars.
It's all standard to give back and of course I'm so thankful that you showed me about the deep music of led zep. Keep rocking and I'm sure you'll be playing higher limits in no time. Peace! Btw I'm gonna take a look at those vids later time for me to go to sleep.
