Just feel like blogging May 26th, 2007

Well, my life is pretty crazy lately.  My roommate came home today, and I hope he is going to do better this time around.  For those of you who don't know, I am not going to tell.  Let us just say some people need a few bottoms to get it right.  So I am trying to start packing up the house.  The house goes on the market this Thursday.  On a different note, I won a couple of hundred bux last night at the casino.  It was my mom's boyfriend's birthday.  So I went with them to the casino.  I put 5 bux in the first machine, and I never looked back.  I made about 350 bux in the first 20 minutes there, and I ended up staying there until 5 AM this morning.  It was wild and I had a great time.  One of the few times I played the slots.  Tomorrow is another Texas Hold em tournament, and I am going to keep doing those until I get good enough to go pro.  I would love to be a professional card player.  Travel and gambling, sounds perfect to me.  Not to mention since I don't drink, I am usually one of the few sober players playing at any given time.  I finished the big tournament 28th out of 88 players on Wednesday.  Last Sunday I finished 3rd in a small tournament.  I am getting better, but I haven't played in about a year or so.  I quit playing Texas holdem after they outlawed internet gambling last year.  Now that I am in the groove again, I am going to ride this out as long as possible.  Once I start winning some of these tournaments I will be only gambling with my winnings instead of my own money.  It is a process, but I am good at what I do.  I can bluff and play the hands.  It will be interesting to see how this all plays out by the end of summer.  I am tired today because of the late night, I am catching up on the house chores.  Some good ol' fashioned house cleaning and laundry.  The weather here in Chicago is rain and cool temps.  I don't mind it, it is peaceful and relaxing.  I realize that I have just enough stuff for an apartment.  I like knowing I don't have to move a bunch of shit like my mom has done for years.  Carrying things that you don't need makes no sense to me.  Well, I just thought I would write down some thoughts that were going through my head.  I am in a good place, yesterday I was really pissed at my roommate, today, I just don't give a damn about other's peoples problems.  Maybe it's better that way for me.  I wish everyone the best, but I cannot concern myself with everyone elses chaos and drama.  It is just to much work to deal with that shit.  Well everyone have a great holiday weekend, and remember all those soldiers and patriots who gave blood, sweat, tears, and lives for our freedom...
