Thanks to Mr. Mike Wong aka FishingMonk saying my last blog entry was emo, I decided I'd wait until I'm in a good mood to post my next entry. I guess looking back, it was kind of emo, but I was upset about a lot of reoccuring things. Overall though, life has been good. This past week I had off for Spring Break and I can gladly say that I'm happy with how it went. I didn't travel anywhere per say, but I managed to accomplish a lot of little things and made progress on things that will help me in the near future. So what's up?

I'll start off with some basketball talk. How I love the Syracuse Orange. I haven't been this excited about a Syracuse team since the 2003 National Championship team with Melo and McNamara. They had a lot of holes in their team, but they played great 2-3 D , which won them the championship essentially. This years team is just as deep, if not deeper. They have Flynn and Devendorf in the backcourt with a solid frontcourt. Their 2-3 D is as good as I've ever seen it. If they can keep it up, they can go super deep this year. After watching the Big East tournament, I'm super excited with how they're playing and their chances. The 6 OT game got me pumped up.

With that said, I absolutely can't wait for the NCAA tourrney. It's by far my favorite time of the year. I don't sports bet much, but I do like to bet when the conference games come on and the tourney. So far this season, I've followed some good betters and made a few good picks myself and had a really solid start so far. If you'd like me to post my picks for the tourney games, let me know in the comments and I'll do so. I think I'm 14-3 coming into the tourney. I also am pretty excited because I managed to get some amazing tickets to the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney on Saturday at Philly. It'll be for two game (likely Uconn vs Baylor and UCLA vs Villanova). The event has been sold out for months, so I'm happy I have some connections. It's something I've always wanted to do and you could say it's on my "Bucket List".

Next, I want to say that Ive been busy working on Internship stuff. I'll start by saying that I took an unconventional route in college. I've transffered twice now, stunting my graduation time each time. I really don't care much , as I actually do love college and enjoy learning. It sucks to see all my peers graduating, but 90% of them do nothing after graduation anyways and I have a strong sense of what I'm doing afterwards. That does lead me to the point of this. I have a cool opportunity for an internship at the White House working in the Office of Maangement and Administration. I'm on the last phase of the process for this application and I hope that I can pull it off. I have an edge as the person who recommended me has a strong connection with the program and acceptance. Overall, it'll take up most of my summer during the day, but the price of having that on my resume is about as good as anything you can have. Hopefully I'll know mid April if I get accepted.

I guess lastly I'll talk a little bit about poker. As I said , I always love March. This month so far, I'm up a substatial amount for the amount I've played. I'm hoping it can continue and I'll be happy with the results. I've kind of took a break from PLO for the time being, as it's very frustrating getting it in good and getting beat. For an ego like mine, it's thought to constatnly get your money in as a huge favorite, only to lose. It really beats you down emotionally. This has however helped my NL game. Everything just seems to click lately and when that happens, it's dangerous.

Overall, life is good and I have a lot ot be thankful for. I don't have any real complaints as of now. I'm just hoping to enjoy the rest of this nice weather out and really just keep motivated while I work on wrapping things up. It's a huge burn out at times, but when results are close, you find extra motivation. So there it is. Happy Go Lucky.
