It's getting hot outside. And green. Summer will be here in exactly one month: June 21, 2026. Are you ready? Are you ready for today? Are you ready for this moment?

A new epoch can start on any day and in any moment.

I am just plodding along Reign of the Warlock. Got The Cube (Horadric) a couple of hours ago. Not sure if I'll play anymore tonight. I kind of want to start an assassin (my favorite class). We have to go with what we are passionate about. I am passionate about Heads-Up No Limit Hold 'Em. So, I'll just play The Machine when I feel like it and it won't be a big thing. I don't love it enough to escrow thousands to people to play people on Discord. That is a lot of fucking friction. 6-max online NLHE or PLO is kind of out too. I'm just not that passionate about it. I didn't like Ignition. I didn't like ACR. I don't get a good feeling about WPT Club Gold. I get a worse feeling about Coin Poker. There are currently no live options where I live. There will be plentiful live options where I move to in 1-2 years. So, basically I should stop ruminating on it and just table it until I move.

That is not necessarily the end of the story. There is a burnrate associated with GTO Wizard. Maybe some day I just get completely bored with that too then I cancel it and move on.

Magic: The Gathering

No local scene. Don't really feel like playing Arena. I've brought it up before but Slay The Spire 2 probably scratches that itch. When Diablo II: Reign of the Warlock loses it's luster maybe it's time for Slay The Spire 2 or maybe I get both at the same time. That should solve that. Maybe where I move to will have a strong paper Magic scene but again until then I gotta table it and forget about it.

Chess or Scrabble or Backgammon

Dark Horses. 3 classics that I've dabbled in the past. I'm not ruling any one of these out.

---

I would like some more room on my computer and I am not making any music at the moment. I'm going to keep all my Ableton Live files but get rid of Reaper and all of my VSTs. It's just too much crap on my computer and I am not using any of it and I just need to completely start from scratch when I feel like making music again. I will save the stuff I dig from Reaper and then that is it.

I guess I'll do that now. Peace y'all.

Fuck it, I deleted Ableton Live too.

Does anyone want a Boss OS-2 guitar pedal and/or a Crybaby guitar pedal? I will ship for the cost of shipping.

Robots and AI will overtake Earth. Will there really be a Universal High Income and cheaper and better medical care? How soon will this happen? What is the future for humans on Earth?

What should we be doing in the next 1-5 years given the uncertainty surrounding the future?

Yes. I am ready.

I'll be in the Philippines from June 30 to August 9. Can't wait for summer to start.

I remember I watched this documentary called like Minimalism or something like that. It was a bunch of software engineers that retired from their jobs and starting working in grocery stores part-time. I thought I would be EXTRA minimal and just work at a grocery store part-time. Bad idea.

I remember when I was working in a sales job in the steel industry my job was actually pretty interesting. There is something to be said for that. It's the same with poker. Sometimes poker really sucked. Poker isn't interesting when you downswung for 30k hands or something like that. Trying to play poker through a depression is fucking depressing.

I need to find some happy medium. In the steel industry I was getting to the point where I could take a technical product manager job before I fucked it all up. That is probably outside of my reach now a days but there has got to be something out there. Not just fucking retail bullshit or food and bev bullshit. That is why I feel trapped.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Robots will take over everything and the poors will get thrown into virtual reality prisons. The experience machine. I would prefer not to. I would prefer not to.

China has the manufacturing. China has the chips. China has the energy infrastrcuture and the future energy infrastructure. It's making me want to learn Chinese but I was learning Chinese and it's extremely difficult. It's also not particularly a passion of mine. It's just a matter of time before I get thrown into a USA virtual reality prison or a Chinese virtual reality prison. I'm rooting for the USA virtual reality prison. USA USA USA!

I was listening to Travis Scott one time and he was rapping about how his dick is the size of a Pringles can and I didn't believe him but then I was searching for some pornography with Valentina Nappi and one of them this dude not only had a penis the size of a Pringles can but it might have been bigger so I guess it's possible. That was a Blacked pornogrpahy. I think they are made pretty well but not really my thing because I don't have a fantasy of being a black dude with a huge dick.

How do y'all think all this robot, AI, energy stuff is going to shake out? Will there be a decent Universal High Income?

I am starting to get the urge to make music again. I had a dream where Pharrell Williams discovered me somehow and was urging me to make music. Dreams are strange.

I started drawing again too. I used to love to draw and I found out I still do. I can only do so many Countess runs. On my first Warlock I got a first run Tal and a second run Eth. I also got an early 10% FCR ring and a Nagel ring on my first Warlock. On my third Warlock I don't know how many runs it was but I have 5 Tal runes and now I have 1 Eth.

I have been thinking I want more out of life. What do I want though?

I want what I want when I want it.

I should probably get back into Buddhism or something. Read the Tao again. Study Chinese.

I think seeing a therapist can stimulate something. Maybe. Maybe not. I see a therapist because it is part of my treatment plan. I don't know if I necessarily expect revelation. It's nice having someone to talk to about whatever is on my mind.

I want what I want when I want it.

It's definitely just about summer out here in these streets. The magnolias are blooming. The local fruit is GOOD. I am listening to disco.

I'm dancing my ass off to some fucking disco.

I'm trying to keep myself adaptable and also human. The robots and AI will take over but we have to keep our humanity. There are a lot of idiots that compare apples to apples between a computer "brain" and our human brain. They are fucking idiots. We have a human brain and a human heart and a human soul. Dostoevsky was a human. That guy was definitely a human. I'm re-reading Notes From The Underground because some friends are reading it for the first time. Pretty stoked about that.

The big question mark for me is where does all that surplus labor value go to? Even if these CEOs are talking about a Universal High Income we all know they are going to grab for as much of it as possible. I'm all for nuclear and solar. Let's just do it intelligently.

But, man, sometimes it doesn't have to be so serious all the time. I have no jokes at the moment though...

I Want What I Want When I Want It

I could go for a blowjob by Vienna Black. I've said this before and I'll say it again I think women are pretty good at that kind of thing these days. Just as guys are better at locating the clitoris and eating a woman out properly. I am a jaguar, I am a panther, I am a tiger.

After my last post I went and watched some Tim Dillon, Bill Hicks, and Doug Stanhope. It's not so much that I laughed because it didn't really get me laughing but I did feel better about this existence.

I don't feel like going to sleep. I don't feel like going to work tomorrow. C'est la vie.

Like I'm going to come up with some revelation here... HA!

I just enjoy listening to some music and typing on the keyboard. It's better than playing Solitare.

I have to plan out my re-entry into music. I'm definitely going with Reaper but will see what else I'll go with...

Had a little Karaoke sesh by myself:

Thinking 'Bout You - Frank Ocean
All I Need - Radiohead

That was good.

I may be on the borderline of getting manic. Supersonic. My existance. Can't resist us. I've got to keep it at bay as much as I want to go full throttle.

Right now everyone is helping me. I am friendly with The Machine(s). Most apes are frustrated with the machines and have no patience. It's ok. All we can do is pray for forgiveness. For understanding, for courage, for strength. FOR GRACE.

Nietzsche said something about how you gotta dance everyday. "A day is not lived unless one has danced!" or some shit like that. I agree. I am a lot happier when I'm dancing.

So, how can I reconcile "God is dead and we killed him!" with "God, give me strength, give me courage, give me understanding, give me forgiveness, GIVE ME GRACE"

If I make it to Heaven I promise I won't laugh at the expense of people in Hell. I've been to Hell. It is no place for humans. That is why I have to keep the mania in check. Going back to Hell is a very bad outcome. I promise not to laugh at programmers that told truck drivers and coal miners to learn how to code. It turns out Karma is a mother fucker and The Machines will take their jobs first.

I'm running with the wolves tonight. I'm running with the woo- ooo - oolves. I always say I come alive at night. I didn't even drink any caffeine. If the moon was full I'd be howlin'. I'm howlin' regardless. I wish people would respond to my blog and help me out with a lot of these problems. My personal problems and the problems of the world. It would be a lot easier for me to organize around this website than to actually go out and organize. I think for a lot of people this website helped in self-serving reasons to aquire dinero. Although a pretty decent community developed from that. It grew around the poker boom of 2005. It's crazy to think we would see action in 2026 when for me it's not even a sane move to put like $300 on a site and practice playing a game I love. That's fine. I'm better off not 1-2 tabling 20 NL. I just have to find things worthwhile. Diablo II is close but hackin' and slashin' some demons is good fun sometimes. MUSIC!

Late Night Lonely Karaoke II:

Retrograde - James Blake

We already know 2 of my pillars are walks and reading. MUSIC would be number 3. I'm drawing again. We'll see if that lasts. I would like some social connection not at work but there is opportunity for some connection at work...

Of course I want Vienna Black calibre blow jobs but I also want a human brain and a human heart and a human soul. I don't want Chat GPT and a fleshlight.

Freedom!

What does that mean today?

Our generation is the last generation to know what it was like without smart phones.

I am free from alcohol and drugs. That is a pretty good start. I need to put into place some long term vision type things so I know how to aim. I think high up there or at least the first one I thought about was not losing my humanity. Not losing my freedom but how I define freedom seems complicated.

What does freedom mean to you?

Now, I'm at the part of my blog where I'm really enjoying listening to music but the words are not pouring out...

Beautiful, Big Titty, Butt-Naked Women Don't Just Fall Out Of The Sky, You Know



How are you doing?

How am I doing?

I'm survivin'. I don't drink and drive anymore so far so that is good. I DJ'd this party one time and I got the girls going crazy. They were dancing on tables, dancing on me, dancing like the world was going to end (it is). That felt amazing. That felt powerful. The women were trying to help me hookup with the hot bartender. That was ideal besides the excessive drinking. I wussied out and left before I fucked things up. Probably had about 20 units of alcohol in me and I got behind the wheel to drive home. I casually stopped at a Popeye's Chicken because Popeye's Chicken is the shiznit.







??????
?????????
??????

When I look through the looking glass,
I see you, baby,
To climb a concrete castle,
I could make it in one leap,
If only I were more powerful!

If only I were more powerful. They appreciate power.

I felt powerful when I was DJ'ing. I felt powerful when I was making women dance on tables and dance on me and dance like the world was going to end (it is). I had 3 hot women wingmanning for me. I did leave at the peak which isn't terrible. I don't think I ever went back to that place. Rehab. Moving cities. Sobriety. 12 years. I feel the opposite of power working as a retail cashier. The clitoris shrivels up. The vagina dries up like the dry, dry dessert. Even my height and resonant deep voice can't turn things around. I mean we could have a fun time, a good time but no one is dating a retail cashier in their 40s. That is a story I tell myself anyways.

I want to live,
Let me see,
I hear the phantoms in the distance,
I feel electricity in my dreams,
I smell the magnolias in the late spring,
I wish to touch the outer boundaries of your soul.

What if I tried more at my job? What if I smiled more? What if I was more fun and approachable?

I have to spend a lot of time there. I am trying to figure out ways to make it better.

Another night, another night I'm looking to land smoothly.

Mirtazapine - Chk
White tea - Chk

Well, one thing I'm not doing is playing solitaire.







I don't know what is with this obsession with Grimes. What started with Visions (an album I loved and still love) can turn into this thing where she is like a spirit fairy angel of some sort even though now a days or maybe all of the days she's mostly incoherent.

I like concrete cubes.

I wish I knew Russian. My grandmother spoke Russian. She taught me some things to say but the Cyrrilic alphabet is a whole 'nother beast to tackle.

One of my sister-in-law's best friends is Russian. At my brother's wedding she came onto me. She gave me the choice of going to a nearby bar with her after the reception. I chose to go back to the hotel with my cousins. I actually had a really good time with my cousins but sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to party with the Hot Russian. Drink vodka and fuck. What sucks is after rejecting her she hated me. Not that I ran into her that often. Lol memories...

I'm tired man. It's getting past my bed time.

After looking into all these options of playing poker online none of them look apealling. I've really lost motivation to study GTO Wizard. It's basically fallen off. I already paid for this month so it's basically throwing money down the drain if I don't study which people predicted would happen including me...

There is a new waitress I have a crush on. She's down the street at the local Italian joint. Beautiful, big titty, butt-naked women don't just fall out of the sky, you know. I mean whatever. More importantly this place has really good fucking food. I don't have the power to pick up waitresses and bartenders or at least that is the story I tell myself. She's probably too young. That's another story I tell myself. Whatever. It doesn't fucking matter. I'm not going to flirt with this poor waitress trying to make a paycheck.

I wonder how many blogs I've written talking about some lost opportunity in the past with women or the waitress I have a crush on?

I think I can be a really lonely guy sometimes. Then, other times be oblivious. All I need is Chat GPT and a fleshlight. It seems like a waste but all those hours last month studying GTO Wizard was super fun.

Meh, my tea is almost done and I'm past my bedtime.

Improv was cool. I think that was a unique way that I was good at expressing myself. Then, I was doing it like every night and started doing paid gigs. I burnt out. Haven't done it since. That is a shame.

I am still figuring out ways to express myself. Nothing quite beats killing at improv. I've never tried stand-up. But, honestly, just drawing in my room alone is a great form of expression for me. Painting.... Fuck, I miss painting. Singing, dancing, making music. I need it all I think. I think I have a low tolerance for boring and ordinary. Like, I want aliveness and intense aliveness more than the average human. It's like nothing is ever good enough. Except for sleeping in, drinking coffee, lifting, and post-workout nutrition. Although I ate at the local Italian down the street. It was delicious. Got the same waitress as last week. She didn't have her tits out. What a shame. She is too young for me. She has a cool name. Whatever. The food was delicious. I love Italian food.

High tops in the summer. Don't be a bummer babe. Be my undercover lover babe.

There is no such thing as authenticity. I find that liberating. I don't have to fret over it. It's just there or not there. I can buy some high tops and just say I'm human and persuaded by Lana Del Rey. Or, I can wisen up and say fuck it I don't need high tops. That's why I need lifting though. Do you know how good it feels to get a Street Fighter II Turbo PERFECT in the weight room?

Protein shake

The Dostoevsky is unbelievably good. Walks and reading are the cornerstone of my existence.


RiKD    United States. Jun 02 2026 01:24. Posts 10018

I'm just sitting around waiting for a friend to call me back. I'm in that kind of weird space where I am just sort of setting up a clean landing for sleep. It doesn't really matter what I do besides not slamming an energy drink and getting involved with something activating. I'm just sippin' on a white tea listening to some music clicking and clacking on the keyboard.

I don't think I have any revelations to share. Life is generally not like that. I had a pretty good day though.

"In the land of Gods and monsters, I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard." - Lana Del Rey

I don't know if this friend is going to call me back tonight. Which is annoying to just sit around doing whatever but I already did enough today and doing whatever is exactly what I need.

One of my walks today I went through the forest because I couldn't bear to walk through the suburbs again. With all of their houses and lawns and cars. I am a product of white suburbia. Maybe I'm a little strange. Maybe I've gone through some fucked up shit which made me stranger. I don't really know. Truth has dissapeared. Reality has disappeared. Authenticity was never there to begin with. Motion within collapse. Is that all that I can hope for? Entropy, inertia, it's all fucked up. Wouldn't it be better to meditate in the middle of the deep forest by a waterfall?

But, I decide to drink white tea, listen to music, and write write write.

I enjoy it more than playing solitaire.

I enjoy it more than playing solitaire.

Just typing out "I enjoy it more than playing solitaire" is more enjoyable than playing solitaire.

Shit, I am restless all of a sudden. Time for another walk.

Afterhours by Groundislava

That is what is capturing the moment. Instead of drinking Red Bull vodkas and taking ecstasy I drank some water and took some Mirtazapine. I want a hot bitch to use her vagina and her body and cum in her face and fall asleep. Fuck making love. That is for nerds.

I'm definitely winding down for the night. Maybe I'll read some more Dostoevsky and crash.

So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth - Art Mix by Grimes is kind of lovely and dreamy at this point in time.

I'm sleepy but I can't sleep. I wish this damn friend would call me back. Sometimes on these Mondays and Tuesdays I get lonely. Maybe I don't want to use up a cum dumpster and kick her out of the crib. Maybe I want to cuddle and talk about dreams. Smoke a cigarette. Be quiet. Lie there. Be OK. Listen to some Radiohead. Make some breakfast. Make some pancakes. Make some coffee. Talk about who knows what?

I think my last image trifecta (quadfecta?) might be my favorite. At least that was my mood at the time.

My electric guitar setup is so money but my bass setup is so shit. I need new strings on both. It starts to get expensive with lessons and everything but it's probably worth if if I can get closer to what I want to do. I fucking love GTO Wizard but if I'm not actually playing any hands of real poker there just doesn't seem like any motivation there. I can get with studying like 2 hours a day or so for 2 months to then go on to mixing it up with the real thing but there is no real thing. If I can spend $99/month on GTO Wizard I can drop GTO Wizard and study the guitar for $200/month. Of course, there are restringing and setups which cost more. I don't know. It's not something I have to decide on at 10:17pm on a Monday night.

I don't actually want to start smoking cigarettes again but people are naive if they don't think there are benefits to cigarettes. Of course, there are benefits to cigarettes but there are also a lot of negatives. For me the negatives outweigh the benefits but I do miss smoking sometimes. Just as I miss drinking and doing drugs. I miss fragments of time. On the whole it's a disaster.

Listenin' to Bon Iver and chillin'. I'm grasping on to being awake because it feels like I don't actually want to sleep yet. I've been having good dreams lately too.

There is something serene about taking a shit in peace. Work shits are always rushed and in public bathrooms. It's nice to just take some time to have a bowell movement at the pace of the bowell movement.

Well, well, well, another night I am just kind of hanging out doing some laundry. I've taken the Mirtazapine but no white tea...... doh.

I was at the DMV today. That is a pretty brutal experience. Especially, with the traffic around here. I won't go into detail. I survived to write about it.

I had another mediocre leg day. A mediocre leg day leads me to feel shitty about myself instead of good about myself. I need to sit down sometime and really ponder about how I can put some good leg days together. My glutes and calves need the most work.

I miss the steel industry but I don't miss the steel industry. I want to go into solar energy but but but there are a ton of stories I tell myself about how it wouldn't work out.

The world's largest operational single-site solar farm is the Midong Solar Farm in Xinjiang, China. It spans approximately 200,000 acres in the Gobi Desert, boasts a massive capacity of 3.5 GW (3,500 MW), and features over 5 million bifacial solar panels.

China plans to be the global power by 2049. I wouldn't bet against it. I try to learn Chinese but it's really difficult. Chinese is more beautiful in a film like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon versus someone yelling at someone in Chinatown, NYC. The calligraphy is quite nice too but difficult to memorize.

I don't like to sleep when I have off work and the day off the next day. Except for now I want to sleep but can't. I don't have much energy or attention left so here I am. Damn, that steel slab above is sexy as fuck. I'm just chillin' in the crib listening to some Clams Casino.

Now, I'm listening to some ELIZA. Good late night chill music. I was pretty horny today. Usually, masturbation solves the sleep problem and the horny problem but it didn't. I wanted a wank but what I really wanted was sex and I still have both problems but I don't feel like going through the motions with pornography again.

God is dead and we killed him but I'm not so sure that is a good thing. It was inevitable. Politics as God is pretty brutal though. It makes me a bit nauseous. The dissapearance of ritual and community is the real problem. Hmmmm...

Just another night alone listening to some music writing a blog post on LP. That is a lot of nights. It's better than playing solitaire I suppose. I would like to get into the Solar Energy business. Probably a lot of people would like to do that. I think by putting it in writing it makes it feel like maybe I could take some actions that would lead me there. Talk is cheap mother fuckers. I am a sum of my actions. I always liked that one from Sartre. The Existing + The Lacking = The Lacked is pretty good too. Existence precedes essence is another one. Also, Radical Freedom and Authenticity. It's powerful stuff to gobble up as a broken 26 yr old going into sales in the steel industry. I'd say Sartre + (Kant + Rawls) gave me super powers. I don't come across stuff as impactful as that although I suppose Baudrillard is quite a force. Some combination of Heidegger and Baudrillard kind of destroys Sartre but I will always have a place in my heart for Jean-Paul. I haven't really come across anything that destroys Kant + Rawls but to be fair I haven't looked for it. Groundwork For The Metaphysics of Morals and Theory of Justice should be taught in high school. I think it's probably better to believe in Free Will. To delusionally believe in Free Will. The same goes for agency and Radical Freedom and Authenticity. I guess in the end it's not good to be delusional but Truth has dissapeared along with ritual and reality. Where is the North Star?

I keep getting these pangs to join Twitter again. I don't think it's a good idea but maybe I could craft it in a way to make it work. I would look at it as a keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer type of thing. The algorithm would probably demolish me. I don't think I actually need all that information. I would like it here more if there were a handful of people that actually posted. I have been considering trying to find some weird, really small communities on Discord. My Discord is pretty dead at the moment. I don't particularly like Reddit and I don't think it's good for me. Even though I am mostly belonging to weird, small communities. The algorithm and the infinite scroll I am too likely to come across psycho hazards. I don't want to completely cut off the internet though. I can only walk so much and read so many books.

Liquidpoker.net is never going to be what I want it to be. I got back on Twitter and that's never going to be what I want it to be. Discord is never going to be what I want it to be. An AA home group in the city I'm currently in is never going to be what I want it to be. Going down to a local coffee shop is going to either be the Starbucks in a strip mall or the Dunkin' Donuts on the highway. There are no independent bookstores. Well, I know of one but that's like 30 min. away. Thank God I have books and walks in nature.

I joke about it but there is no resurgence for LP. It's a shame too because I know the posters here. Even if it just had 10-50 posters it could be promising.

Boredom got the best of me and I gave in to the pangs. I'm running a trial on Twitter. The first post on my feed was Elon Musk re-posted a news story about an immigrant beheading some Northern Irish guy. So, my first post back was a picture of some guy getting beheaded. Exactly what I need to see at 11:20pm at night when I am trying to land the night softly. Now, I am activated and can't sleep. It's my own fault. I haven't deleted it either. Like I expect it to change overnight somehow........

Maybe there is still some hope with Discord. Currently, I am just not sure what I am looking for exactly.

I just got off the phone with a buddy that goes down to a local independent coffee shop and then heads over to hang out at an Anarchist book shop. He has actual good AA meetings to go to. I can't just make these things appear in my city. I have some more thinking to do and hopefully some actions to take.

Here I go again.

I found a connection with this recent search for a digital social panacea and my recent search for the "perfect" strategy game / video game. It doesn't exist. I am on some good discords. One for music production that is right around the right size except I am currently not producing any music. There is a philosophy chat that may be too many people and most of them are academics and I am not reading any philosophy currently.

Twitter is just too much at night and too much in the morning when I am just trying to enjoy some coffee and some music. It's probably too much at any part of the day. I can see how people can spend a lot of time, energy, and attention on it. I'd rather walk to an independent coffee shop, an independent book store, and go to a good AA meeting. I can't do that in my current situation so I loop back to strategy games / video games and social media panaceas.

The problem with Reddit is that it is "infinite" or at least limitless. I couldn't even tell you the name of one other user.

Twitter is not a local village where everyone knows your name. It is also "infinite" or limitless. I have a feeling if I just followed all of my enemies that I may start agreeing with them over a long enough time period. That would be weird.

LP could be great with 10-50 users. There have been some pretty shitty users here though.

I have to take this shit serious because work has not been great and I need my off-work time to feel more meaningful.

I feel a little out of place on X.com. I don't live in Austin or San Francisco and I'm not a tech entrepreneur or engineer. I don't really know what I'm doing on there besides just trying to temper some boredom. I think it is doing some vicious things to my time and attention.

The For You page on x.com is brutal. I look at hundreds of posts and 100 more show up. That's like God's inbox or some shit like that. Humans are not built for that.
