So far, today's been productive. I'm up $60 in cards, winning a tournament this morning. So, I'm up to nearly $700 in my bankroll.
I have some things to do today...nothing that interesting, or worth mentioning, other than this mere allusion. I COULD make it interesting, but I doubt anyone wants to see me do these things in a thong that doesn't fit too well.
Who am I to say what the masses want and don't want, though? Maybe they DO. But I'm crowd-shy...I only show the leopard-print for the private parties right now.
Okay, that got too weird. I think it's because I'm hungry. Screw this not-having-money nonsense. I have a Damon's gift card. I guess I'll use that.
I also have a tournament tonight. So I'll participate in that...gotta defend my title from Friday night!

I live in poverty, despite my splendor
I live in silence, despite my candor
I live a coward, despite my honor
You feel my pain, despite my pleasure
I'm stuck in a river that holds no water
and am shaded by negative color
Por favor, senor?
I have a boat but no oar
and of this, I can't take much more
My head is rich, my heart is poor
ripped from its socket, thrown on the floor
stepped on twice then kicked into the door
Living out of love is such a fucking chore
and of this, I can't take much more
I live in silence, despite my candor
I live a coward, despite my honor
You feel my pain, despite my pleasure
I'm stuck in a river that holds no water

This has been an interesting week, in retrospect.
At least, poker-wise.
Sunday: Win the $500 Guaranteed tourney on Set. Take $125 and double my bankroll up to $250, the highest it had ever been.
Thursday: Sit down and play $1/2 PL hold'em for the afternoon. I had never played higher than 50/1, and I mostly played .5/.10 PL. I win a $366 pot, and finish the day up over $400. My bankroll sits at $625, and I'm enthralled.
Friday: On a day that I should be very upset and unable to concentrate (Em was moving out), I win a tournament down at Bourbon Street Saloon. About 25-30 started, and I took it down by having a Rounders moment (flopped the nuts and the guy bet into me, and I strung him along. He was inexperienced...good, but inexperienced, and that worked out for me).
Saturday: I won a tournament at 1:30 in the morning. Only $45 for the win, but it was a $5 tourney. It makes a WSOP tourney a freeroll, should I want to play in one (I do). I'd have played in one today, but sun poisoning made me deliriously itchy. Ick.
Anyway, I have to start figuring out what I want to keep, and want I want to sell/throw away. I committed to VA, as it's just what I have to do. I don't know when I'll tell the coaches, or Good Shepherd, or the Motion...or the boys. I'm really, really, really upset about that. But, for maybe the first time in my life (outside of getting into coaching so I could do something I love), I have to look out for myself, and go for something I need.
Tomorrow, I'll go through the closet. Maybe I'll inventory the crap I have, so all of the non-people who read this can laugh at me.
Maybe.
