I really hope I spelled that right, or else I just look like a douche. It means I Speak A Little French! That's right, I'm learning French with Sarah. She's gonna need to know it for the Peace Corps in Africa, so I figured this was a perfect opportunity to learn another language. I've been thinking about it for a little bit and even considered making it a new years thing, but it didn't seem as possible until a great situation arrived. I'm really pumped and hope I can learn to speak it fluently!
Hmm let's see what else is new. Don't know if I mentioned this before but I'm now in an office instead of a cubicle! Kinda by default rather than promotion. New sales people needed our cubes and my boss was moving offices so it just made sense to put me and Nikki (the intern) into his old office. It was pretty cool to move and I feel like a big shot even if I'm really not. ;) The best thing is I can listen to music at a low volume cuz I'm not out in the main area with all the other cubicles. Makes the day go much better.
Poker's going well. I've done well in a couple small tournaments, with 2 final tables and one cash at 50th/17,000 or so. all small amounts due to the small stakes, but enough to move me up in my challenge. I'm now playing at $.05-.10 and playing very well, IMO. Branching out into other games too, instead of just NLHE. I'm really loving 2-7 triple draw limit, and no-limit's not bad either, just haven't played as much. And, as usual, trying to get in as many mixed games as possible. All in all it's a lot of fun and I'm happy that I'm really enjoying poker again.
Other than that I'm just enjoying life and absolutely praying for no more snow. Ever. I know Mike's gonna say "just move out to San Diego bro," but I'm sorry i just can't do that. But I will try as hard as I can to convince the big boss to expand and build a nice office out there, and selflessly volunteer to help him set things up in sunny Cali. :)

That's some awesome shit all around, sir. Learning another language feels really great, doesn't it? I am getting pretty good at my spanish, and if I ever go back to school (seems very likely at this point,) I think I would seriously consider trying to pick up French, as well. Being able to speak 3 languages would be unreal(and of course, gonna try to learn portuguese as well, eventually, as it's so close to Spanish.. haha.) But honestly, that's really great that you're trying to improve yourself in that way. Bilingualness (don't think that's a real word, in any language) is a great thing.
Great job on the poker, dude. I think you're definitely an all around better player than I am at this point.. which obviously makes me want to get back into it, and improve.. wish it were that easy, haha. Keep up the great work. Also, good shit on getting the office.
I won't tell you to move out to Cali, as I don't like to be THAT predictable.. but what you stated would be a good start ;-). If you do come out here, you can teach me French and I can teach you Spanish! It would be awesome.. Sorry.. haha. Keep up the great work, dawg!

Thanks mang. You learn any portuguese before? I think a couple dialects (South Brazilian I believe) are a little smoother, replacing the harsh st's with more of a j sound. But yeah it can be a beautiful language. Good luck. Oh and my poker could definitely be better. Cashed yesterday but donked off my chips in the last 100 people and got KOd
