Today was a pretty lazy day. I woke up at 11am which I was pretty stoked about because I haven't been up that early in a while. Part of that was because last night I was absolutely exhausted and got to sleep before 2. I don't know why I was so tired. In fact I've had a general feeling of tiredness for a while now. Today was no exception. I'm fairly active so I don't think it's that. Right now I'm thinking it's my diet (or lack thereof) so I'm definitely going to be looking at eating better/more/at all. I could probably easily go 2 days without eating just out of laziness. Often I find a glass of orange juice or water will tide me over. Coffee in the morning is also must. I had a huge plate of spaghetti for dinner tonight about 2 hours ago with a good meat sauce, but right now I'm starving again, but can easily ignore those stomach pangs as I write this. I don't really have much other food to cook up right now and don't feel like going anywhere at 11pm. Well now that that problem is identified, let's check in on my goals from the other day.

1) Wake up by noon.
2) Have a good breakfast Coffee, bagel&cream cheese, 3 scrambled eggs
3) Work out Good hour long chest/tricep workout
4) Get a haircut and sort out driver's license renewal Pretty sharp looking cut, and got my DL back
5) Get some groceries+protein powder I did this, but I did a very weak grocery shop. Need to go again
6) Get birthday present for Dad I know what I'm getting. I looked a bit online, shouldn't be an issue.
7) Speak with friend in Australia Time zone complications made this a bit of an issue, and she was working, but we had a few texts and will talk soon.
8) Complete profile on dating site - I feel like going out on date's with girls again, and am sick of trying to meet people at the bar. I've been meaning to try this internet dating thing out for a while, but have never got around to making a profile I have to do this tonight.
9) Watch one poker video This was such an easy goal. I did this, but feel like I should have done much more
10) Update this blog at the end of the day to track progress. Well I didn't do this yesterday basically because I passed out, but I feel doing it now is acceptable.

So I got most of what I wanted to do done. Not that any of it was hard at all. Yesterday was sort of a maintenance day. Today was sort of a waste of a day, and I partially blame that on myself for not setting any goals for myself. I was in the army for 6 years, and used to routine, and basically I feel when I'm not told to do something, I just do nothing, because you need to take advantage of your down time. Perhaps I'll share some war stories from Afghanistan in a future post.

So today I did manage to get a 45 minute back/bicep workout in. I also got Camtasia and recorded a 45 minute session 4-tabling 50NL. The internet at the hotel I'm currently living in is god awful and upload speed is about 10kb/s so I'm going to have to upload it at a friend's place.
I also 8-tabled 50NL for about an hour and a half and ended up down 1/2BI. I think I was playing alright. Never really got in any interesting spots. I think a few times I made a turn bet when I picked up either a straight draw or flush draw, and then got blown off it by a raise. Not sure if that was the best time to attempt to barrel.

There was one good spot on the video I made where I had AK and EP minraised, I reraised, button called, EP called.

Flop came Q68

EP shoved for $3.75. Pot was now $18.75. Button had $37.70 and I covered. I thought about raising but didn't really see the point since there was no sidepot and I was going to have to hit a hand to win the main pot anyways. I'm almost always raising FD+overs but because EP was all-in I wasn't sure what to do. Well, I called, button shoved, and now it's $33.95 to me with $60.20 in the middle. I pump fist snap call and lose to aces. I just found that hand interesting, results aside.

I gotta plan my day for tomorrow. I'm liking this 11am wakeup so I'll do that again. Maybe earlier if I can.

1) Wakeup by 11am
2) Have a good breakfast
3) Watch a video
4) Play for 2 hours, 4-tables ONLY! When I'm trying to improve I need to cut back on the number of tables so I can really focus and get better. I think that's been one of my main problems at getting better is I just grind, but improve. Post at least 3 hands.
5) Workout
6) Have a good late lunch

I'm going to a hockey game with my friends after so I'm not sure where the night will take me. I guess my last goal is

7) Don't come home drunk and play cards

----------------------

For tonight I'm going to get that dating profile up, watch Lost (so excited!!!!), and then watch a video or two.

P.S. Almost forgot. I got banned from 2p2 this afternoon. Someone was asking about AR15's (assault rifles) and I remembered some lyrics from 50 Cent - Wanksta. I looked them up and copied this verse in the thread:

**NWord** sayin' they gonna murder 50, how?
We ridin 'round with guns the size of Lil Bow Wow
What you know about AK's and AR 15's?
Equipped with night vision, shell catchers and
IR beams, huh

I didn't even write the n word. I asterisked out half of it, but that got me banned for racism. Ludacris.

G'night all.
