breather

I had to just make myself take a break from UB for a little. The gambler's "gotta get my money back" mentality is comin on strong right now. Man what a tough couple of days i've had on there. I was up over $400 a couple days ago but I have hit a massively bad streak that it seems I can't get away from. I can tell i'm startin to worry about the money too much, so it's gettin tough to have every set I flop be beaten by a rivered straight or flush. I'm only down to 300 but still I was expectin to keep goin up. Whatever i'm still usually havin fun and i'll break the slump soon.

I can't believe I'll be goin back for my last semester in less than a week. I wish i got more work over the winter break. I was hopin to have a nice chunk of change saved up for books and what not. UB needs to help me out quick lol. I made an account on Monster.com the other day. I'm kinda skeptic if that'll actually help me find a job or not, but I gotta give it a try. I wanna get one as soon as possible so i'm not stressin out about that after I graduate. I know it's not imperative to have a job right out of college, but that's the plan i've set for myself so I wanna try to stick with it.

I guess I'll go back to watchin Everybody Loves Raymond. Very funny show.

update

It has been a veeeerrrryyyy long time. Strangely enough i've had plenty to talk about, I've just been kinda lazy. O well i guess you guys will just hafta be in the dark about the last few months of my life. For an update, I am greatly enjoying the month off after the worst semester to date. I passed all my classes :) so I just got one more teeny semester til I graduate! I'm playin online poker again, but not live after a bad situation in which I punched a hole through the wall in my basement after a loss. I'm really ashamed that I did that. I never let myself get out of control like that and if something is gonna cause me to get that angry I figured I should take some time off. I had already put money online, so I figured I'd just play a really tight game online and play for the fun of it rather than a source of income. I think that's the best way to look at poker and I didn't realize that until I blew up. Playing like that, I'm also doing very well, already quadrupling the money I put on there, spurred by a 6th place finish last night in a field of 548 players. I'm playin some amazing poker and it's just a lot more fun and a lot less stress. So yeah there's your update and i'll give another fruitless promise of writing more often. :)
