edit: I had to re-title my blog because apparently some words in the blog titles make it impossible to comment on blogs. Weird.

Oftentimes during the day something will happen and I will think about putting it in my blog. I'll try to think of how I would describe it to other people (not just my blog, but if I'm telling the story to a friend or something). Most of the time I forget that it's a story worth telling, or (more often) I decide that it's really just smoke and mirrors, me blabbing on about something stupid that doesn't need to be said. I guess if I take into account that anyone opening the Leggopoker website and then opening my blog to read my latest entry is someone interested in basically anything I have to say (for better or for worse), then I should just write a bunch of random blog posts. I could get to Probability-level of blog updating, so much that it would basically be like tweeting.

Anyways, lately I've been as much as possible about quality of everything I do. I want to make sure I'm giving effort, focused, relaxed, etc. I want to work hard and play hard. I'm trying to just not be a random sloth (overstatement) poker player who is content. The latter part is so easy to do that it takes quite a bit of concentration to overcome.

The last few weeks I've been in Las Vegas eating a lot of food and helping Chewy move into his mansion. I said mansion and not house because that's what it is, a mansion. We bought a bunch of nerf guns and random shit and went back in time a decade. I'm 23 (been that way for a few weeks now) and I realize that I've got a foot in so many different worlds. One day I'm a kid with nerf guns and the next day I'm a business owner and the day after that I'm one of the best in my field with dozens or hundreds or maybe even thousands of people wanting consults from me. Hell, sometimes it doesn't take days for those roles to change, sometimes it just takes hours. It's fun but it causes you to grow up fast (sort of).

I haven't been playing much poker (which is my usual as of late, once you can only get action from a very limited amount of people it just isn't that much fun anymore) but I have dabbled in some PLO. I think I'll get into HU PLO more in 2010, probably starting at 3-6 to 10-20. I may play whatever NL runs, but you guys know how that is at 25-50+ if you monitor the games.

Being alone with your thoughts is one of the most interesting things imaginable. I hate the adjective interesting, but I can't imagine a better word to use to describe being inside your own head. It can go so many ways-- it can be miserable, boring, exciting, enlightening. I have spent a lot of time lately just reflecting, observing, thinking. One day I'm going to actually think on something important or make some kind of big life decision while I'm just sitting there on an airplane, staring at the person's head in front of me, curious as to why he's moving so much and wondering if he feels my knee in his back through the seat.

I've got some things to do in the next few days sine I just got back to Indy. I'll be able to write a more in depth blog soon, hopefully, while I've got some free time at my parents' house. Until then, Happy Holidays.
