So here it is, saturday March 26th, 2011 and I have decided that this is as good a time as any to throw up a blog as it has been quite awhile. If you don't already know I am living in Vegas still with HemmaCuda and I will be here for sure until the end of the world series. After that I mostly feel that I will stay here but I don't completely know how I feel on that topic.

Over the past couple months I have ridden a pretty monstrous emotional roller coaster when it comes to poker. It makes me think about the future and how I am pretty sure poker is just a way to pass time until I find something I truly want to dive into. I have read a ton of things on start ups and entrepreneurial articles and it really makes me want to focus all of my time and energy into something like that. I am a project based worker and feel that creating something from the ground up that becomes successful is what I truly want to do. I am prepared to work extremely hard at it but I don't want to get into anything that I don't completely believe in and/or am even interested in. I don't know if any of you have really ventured into start ups... but it just isn't easy to get going when you don't have a starting point. But I consider options everyday and I believe something is going to develop and I am prepared for that day.

I have recently been spending time around people that are my age but just SO far ahead of me when it comes to many things that it just makes me think of where I could be, not that I could be where they are but I could definitely be closer. I need goals every day, I need to be accountable, I need to take advantage of being young, able and willing. I am taking this poker thing for granted and I shouldn't be. Blogging or watching sportscenter shouldn't be a goal. Searching for new ideas for startups, grinding x amount of hands or going on lunch and dinner dates to develop my network sounds way more productive. It's funny isn't it.

As for health, I have started weight training with a friend of mine who went to school with me and just moved out here to pursue a very sick opportunity involving golf and Phil Ivey and since he's in great shape and understands working the body and nutrition, it's a great partner to have. Nutrition has definitely been the most difficult as I have eaten like shit my entire life and have so much body fat that results take forever to see. I am looking at is as if I at least cut down on the random late night fast food, the burger and fries every day, the constant 4-5 nights out on the town and some other things, that it should add up and by summertime I may be able to be around 210 or a bit less. One goal I have is this new race I have heard about that is becoming very popular all over the country... TOUGH MUDDER ... and I think that the one in snow valley, socal or the one in Colorado would be really fun and a great accomplishment at the same time. If you guys have anything mental tips for eating better please post, this has been really difficult and I have only done it for about a week (eating healthy that is).

Becoming a Leggo Coach seems to be going well and by the feedback I have received I guess people have enjoyed the first few videos I have produced. I was pretty nervous so thanks for that and I hope it can help the micro guys dominate. I am about to take on a few students so I am fairly excited about that. Also the "Bankroll on Swole" series is underway and heAdstroMan's first dual commentary video with me should be released soon (10nl).

Summertime isn't too far away and I am really excited to see everyone again as last year was an awesome time. Atm bw0749082547820954 is looking into booking a Vegas house so i'll most likely be jumping on board with that and living somewhere in Henderson or Southwest Vegas and just lounging by the pool, grinding in the war room(s) and winning the occasional bracelet. If any of you are coming out PLEASE get in touch with me, I go out a ton, know a lot of great places in Vegas to party/eat/clubs/etc... and I always like meeting new people. Oh and trampoline dodgeball league sounds like it's going to happen so get ready to get owned in that regard, ainec.

Oh and I won a Venetian Deepstack mtt for like 14.4k but lost all that by two weeks after. Standard. Your welcome Vegas!

If you want to see a ton of pictures from in and around Vegas friend me on facebook and check out my mobile uploads, oh and twitter has randomly boomed so I am on there as well @jaymesrosenthal
