Things have been a little too normal for me to blog about. I haven't been playing poker for the past week and a half, since I've been trying to cool my head after my 2/4 downswing. I've also been very frustrated due to the fact that I've been way overaggro, and slowly leaning away from my A-game the past 2 weeks. I'm frustrated at myself, but I'm the only one to blame.

I hope to start back up with poker when I get my $500 in rakeback by mid-late December, and I'm getting $2k from a friend on Tuesday (I think). I had to cash out my $3.5k roll because i didn't wanna tilt it off after a bad 5 days or so at 2/4. I thought I had my personal management problems worked out, but I guess I don't. I'll go back to 4 tables of 6max NL only, and that should do the trick if I'm playing lower limits and all. I will miss the stimulation of higher limits though....but hopefully in due time things will come. If I get to NL$200, I'll stay there. When I move to NL$400, I will have my friend beside me to keep an eye out for me and spot leaks in my game- that should make ALL the difference.

Everything else has been goin okay; pledging THANKFULLY ends a week from today (actually 6 days)! I cannot wait until all this stress is relieved; I can have more time for studying for finals, as well as just free time to fucking relax (which I've barely had ANY of).

Thanksgiving break has been fun. Had a very normal Thanksgiving, though the break has been sweet itself. Gotten to party with a large variety of my friends here at home for at least half the nights I've been here. BP tourney tonight to go to as well...maybe I'll provide pics? I'm not bringin my camera cuz I'm not a fag, but if any of the girls take pics, I'll put them up here haha.

I've found a weird problem with myself: I don't want anything anymore! I was looking through Black Friday ads, and I couldn't find shit I wanted for the holidays. Even my dad made a comment to my mom earlier, saying something like "w/e he wants he can easily buy himself or already has." This is true :-( I fortunately purchased Guitar Hero: World Tour with 2 wired controllers from RedOctane.com for $60- WHAT A STEAL! Also got a DVD upscaler, cuz I'm WAYY into getting 1080p quality (or as close to it as possible). Fuck buying a blu-ray player and changing my DVD collection to blue-rays...for now. But ya, this holiday sucks because I don't want shit. I think I will just buy clothes and have my parents reimburse me?

Anyway, been sort of ranting, but figured I had to make a blog post about my thoughts and what I've been up to. Once I get online moniez, I'll obv post HH and things will be much more interesting.

BTW, found a legit place that I'll give some money to- go to amazon.com/xo. It's the one laptop per child organization. Gives these durable laptops to kids in shitty countries. Pretty sweet idea, considering giving food is great and all, but it doesn't solve shit. Laptops will educate them on how to fix shit themselves. They're $200 per laptop and have wi-fi capability. Education is prob the #1 thing in fixing fucked-up countries imo. I'm going to buy 3 laptops for kids fairly soon (prob around holiday time). Took me forever to find a legit charity!
