Back from the motherfucking dead. It's been 2 years that I've posted on this blog, and having rediscovered it I thought it might be fun to post an update. Any subscribers/lurkers?
I'm still blogging. If you're interested you'll find it here. Shortly after I stopped playing - and I mean completely stopped - I ended up going back to school. I enrolled at my local university to pursue a degree in business. As of this writing I'm half way done. Suffice it to say that I'm enjoying it for the most part. But I wonder to what extent my enjoyment stems from the fact that it is affording me a socially acceptable way to waste my time.
I carry my poker lessons everywhere. The parallels between the game and so many other disciplines are uncanny. I miss poker for its culture mostly. I have no plans to grind it out. I'll allocate some disposable income for recreational play when it materializes. Until then I get immense pleasure from continually destroying in the occasional home game.
The relationships and memories that formed around my time as a poker player are invaluable. I often catch myself smirking to myself when I overhear others sharing poker stories among themselves. Oh the stories...
See you 'round, and as always, gl.
