San Jeronimo, Costa Rica
?That?s why you fucking went bankrupt.?

I was feeding my girlfriend?s dogs today. I started thinking, how many years would a dog or cat shave off the end of it?s life in order to receive the ability to operate a can opener?

I feel some weird sense of?caution that I don?t normally feel writing. For those of you who never followed me on Random Thoughts From A Seattle Poker Pro, my original blogspot, I pretty much just write what I?m thinking. I literally don?t reread what I write. TranquilChaos calls it free association writing. I really just feel like it?s mental vomiting.
I wrote for a living before poker, and by living I mean as a teenager I got enough money to buy Adderall and beer by selling video games I reviewed.
I said things before that got me quite a bit of hate mail. I cared when I was younger, because when you?re young you?re stupid like that, but eventually I realized hate mail was pretty easy to delete.
That and I started making more money than a teacher does in the states, and most of the people around me seemed to not be too annoying. This seemed like a place to be somewhat appreciative from. Although all humans are wired to want more.
Now though these blogs go up on Pocketfives Training. Damn, if I wrote what I used to write on my private blog and just announced to more than my small reader base, that would be pretty damn gutsy.
I?ll do my best not to water myself down.
Unfortunately I seem to be quite dull these days. Wake up, do lessons, work out, grind cash, grind tournaments, hang out with girlfriend, write on my website (www.pokerheadrush.com), study Spanish, read, drink a lot of coffee.
Yet I should really be working right now. I feel like my game is so much more stable since I sobered up and got medicated. I really do believe online poker is going to be legalized again in the next couple years. I mean, look at what all the sites are doing, lining themselves up with stateside casinos. That can?t be an accident.
I?m delirious as I write this. Been a long good day. I did road work through the country, and had some cows walk with me down the road. I got to watch the sun come over these rolling hills in the country of Costa Rica. It was real nice. Till this jackass came stampeding by on a horse that kicked a rock into my face.
For all two of you who care what I do during a typical day I copy/paste my Twitter notes at the bottom of blogs. It?s really just a record for me. I like to see how I?m allocating my time during a day.
I?ve donated money to this charity which I?ve had interest in. They essentially build houses for poor families in third world countries. Real simple but nice places for hardworking people. My boy and I pitched in to build one of the houses. Before I started promoting them I wanted to go down and watch a house being made, meet the people in the organization.
It turns out they?re opening a youth center on one of the dates discussed. The guys running it invited us to it, even though it?s a semi-exclusive event. My friend and I said we would go then.
It seemed like an awesome plan till I realized...
