Hmmmm 6k is not gonna happen for a while. Hopefully something better will show up at Cache Creek when they open their new room. I grew up near Jackson Rancheria so I have places to stay near there, but if the game is crazy I definitely can't afford it.

Guess I will just try and run it up for a while longer on Full Tilt.

In sporting news today, I set a career high with 6 points on 3 of 7 shooting, including the game winner, a leaner from the baseline with 12 seconds left and our team down by 1 point.

meh quick update before i go to the hospital to get stitches for my lip. i caught an elbow from this dude playing hoops and bit through my bottom lip and into my fvcking chin.

I was raised a Christian, and went to church essentially every Sunday until I was about 16. At this age I was finally fed up with all of the politics and closed-mindedness of my particular congregation, and with the religion in general. I had trouble with the carrot and stick ideas of heaven and hell, of a religion based on - to quote David Reese of www.mnftiu.cc - which is hilarious by the way - "A vengeful being that rewards you in the afterlife?". Anyway, I'm not trying to shit on anybody's religion, but it wasn't working for me, and still doesn't.

So the more I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion that the only things that matter are what you decide matter. And I don't think these have to be earth shattering things, either. If having a big SUV and a nice house in the suburbs matters to you, then I guess thats cool.

In my life, the things that have really mattered have been spending time with people that I think are really interesting and fun to be around. Other things that have been important to me include having enough money to support myself, which I am just scraping by with at the moment, and playing music.

I just talked to one of my best friends, and we are thinking of putting all of these things together sometime in the nearish future, and heading on a music roadtrip. The idea would be to just hop into the Subaru with a few changes of clothes, a few guitars and a bass, and go busk/play bars/whatever and see where life takes us. I will have a bit of money saved up by then, and hopefully internet poker won't be totally fucked so I can still make a bit from that to keep us in whiskey and beer.

I honestly can't think of anything I would rather do, so I am going to put everything I've got into making this happen. I figure maybe take off in either August for a couple months, or wait until next Spring.

I wonder if I am too old to be screwing around like this? I guess if I don't feel like I'm too old for it, then it doesn't matter.

Anyway.

Bankroll = $1269

March = $180

Moving up to 50NL at 1500

I KNOW TL;DR

Paging EP9...

Well since MVP dunked in the gimme alleyoop (congrats there cheifo), i will just say that if you dont want the whole idea to end badly, you a) need a better plan and b) need to have it rannup more than you do, like ALOT more before you try this. Furthermore c) yes, your too old for this shit and d) Paging EP9...

Beleive me when i tell you that shit like this sounds much easier/better/titer in theory than it ends up being in practice, almost always. FFS though, if ya try this, try and think it thru better than just 'hoppin in car and takin off'

PS this applies twentyfold if you sound anything like lets go bowling, cuz ska (ESPECIALLY INTRUMENTAL SKA) aint attractin too many new followers, methinks..

Quick session today. Quick because I managed to win a little money, running extraordinarily hot, and am a little drunk. So I wanted to quit before I fugged it all up.

Bankroll = $1305

March = $216

Hourly rate at Full Tilt 25NL so far (lol only 4500 hands 5 tabling) = $20.12

Race to $2500 with PZ = $1566

Road to Nowhere Report

Well, me and my buddy are getting together to scheme on this soon. If we go in a year, I should have a pretty good bankroll to play poker (if online poker doesn't die oplsoplsopls). A conservative estimate for bankroll by then is 6k, so i could play 100nl really easily, maybe even 200nl. That is based on like 500 bucks winnings per month, which shouldn't be a big problem. So anyhow, I don't think money will be a big issue for a 1-2 month roadtrip.

We will not be playing ska of the instrumental variety, or any other variety. We play country/folky/bluesy/rock music. Cross Neil Young with Willie Nelson and Muddy Waters, and then divide by the fact that we are amateur musicians.

Anyway

Bankroll = $1331

March = $241

Race with PZ to $2500 = $1591
