Firstly i know i am a lazy prick but hey its never going to change, or is it? Thats really the question i am pondering at the moment. Once a poker and gaming degen always a poker and gaming degen? Is it possible to ever settle into the 9-5 working day life? Or will it be a constant battle of late nights gaming and endless cans of redbull? Going on each day just looking for that next gaming hit or chance to see a deck of cards like a junkie? Some say that gaming is an addiction and i have heard or clinics that treat this. Is that going to far? Is this something you can grow out of?
Now lets get some important things straight here, its not a case of not having the money to do these things yet the time. Time is worth more than a dollar in your hand, well for me anyway. Even as i type this i am considering giving up an hour or so in sleep for an extra game on the PS3 or a SNG on stars.
Harness this passion or addiction or fight it off to live a so called normal life...

Almost forgot how to type...
Yes its been a while since i have sat down at a PC for something that isn't work related and i have only played one poker tournament in about a month now, which was a small cash.
Its been an interesting few weeks to say the least. Two weeks away on job training, then smack bang in the middle of real world work. I must say i am not the biggest fan! I sorta got used to having the days to waste away as i pleased. Although in saying that i think the hours i have been working are against all international slave labour laws. Its getting ridiculous to be honest. But it has tough me one very important thing. Life is too fucking short to waste it away doing something for the wrong reasons. Whether it's for money or just because its easy, if it's not making you happy and not what you want DON'T DO IT! Do what you want in your one shot at life. Yes i am taking my own advice and am making plans to change my career in the direction that i want it to go.
Enough serious stuff it's been a nice for weeks for sports bettors with a lot of different things to bet on with the AFL Grand Final coming up tomorrow and the Brownlow medal, the NFL season kick off a couple of weeks ago and the up coming T20 series. While the Brownlow wasn't too good to me in the old sportsbet account, the NFL season has been rather friendly. There are nice odds for Seahawks to beat the Bears at home with the current odds $2.08 for the Seahawks, after they have won the last 5/6 games and 6/6 against the Bears.
Pokernews cup upcoming and i don't think i will be able to make it to contest any events let alone the Teams event, but the 2010 Aussie Millions is still on the cards, well for now anyway...

This, that and the other
Its been an interesting time since my last update here. I have go a new job and will be starting within the next couple of weeks. It all starts with a couple of weeks training over the other side of the city. But hey no worries they shout for accomodation, breakfast, lunch and a bistro meal daily! Shame its only for the first two weeks huh?
Its starting to look like the old PS3 will be gathering some dust just like the many before {PSONE, PS2}. So to make up for this i have been logging a few hours. Clocked 2 more games {Red Alert 3 and Prototype for anyone who cares}. Trophy count is now 199 and way out in front!
I am getting really sick of the radio options here in Vic at the moment. One plays only 4 bands! I swear its all i hear no matter what time of day. Now i like all but one of these bands but come on i want some vaiety. They only play ACDC, Pearl Jam, Kings of Leon and Nirvana, now your all going oh he is talking about Triple M. So i swicth to Triple J, ah thats better. Only problem there is your likely not to hear the same song twice... EVER! Well theres that rant for this week.
I guess i better get some poker into my life before i get my nose back to the grind.
