I've had mostly the same issues for years but it's strange how some days those problems seem monumental and insurmountable and other days they are trivial and achievable. Today was one of the former.I wish I had more to say here but the repetitiveness is getting pretty old. I could almost cut and paste old entries because I still feel the same old ( Read more... )

I don't get a lot of chances to meet a nice girl to date. I sleep all day, work most nights in a male-dominated poker room. My days off I spend in Azeroth. But yesterday one presented itself ( Read more... )

So I was having a fairly shitty day. The damn Penguins won the Stanley Cup. Tips were uber shitty at work. Ok, no big deal tomorrow will be better. I decided that I was actually in a good enough mood to go play 2-5NL at the V. Played ok but lost $600. So it goes. Stayed calm and upbeat. Then I turn around and see Sabrinia dealing across the ( Read more... )

My parents were in town this week. Not to see me though. My mom's high school was a Department of Defense school in [West] Germany that no longer exists so she had a reunion in Vegas. But we had a dinner on Monday. When I went to get a comp from the poker room I saw Melissa sitting at a dead spread trying to start a game. I hadn't seen or ( Read more... )

So... I'm dating Melissa now. The Melissa from this post on Christmas Eve. We've texted a LOT since Saturday and we had a little date last night ( Read more... )

Amazingly I'm not talking about today's transfer of power but a rather bizarre sequence of events that happened early Sunday Morning ( Read more... )

Also having an alternative revenue stream available is probably a decent idea so I've been working on my game with an eye towards playing the $2-$5 No- ( Read more... )

There's a girl I've been... noticing lately. A lovely young asian lady with cute glasses who works at IT. I've been seeing her a lot in the employee dining area, usually sitting alone. I'm only in there once or twice a day at fairly random times and it seems like she's there on about 6 of the 9 times I'm there a week. Which is quite a ( Read more... )

Sabrinia is dating someone now. Hearing the news felt like a knife twisting in my kidney. Not that I have any claim on her affections and intellectually I've mostly accepted that she's not the girl I should be with. But she's at least 'my type' and I don't know anyone else that is. So when I feel lonely, she's the person I think about holding ( Read more... )

So I'm 26 now. Yay, I guess. Eh, not so much really. Because of all the things I want to be (wealthier, fitter, happier, more productive) what I'm becoming is older. Although I'm making some progress in the other realms as well ( Read more... )
