I know some of you have probably been worried I left you alone on this earth but I assure you that isn't the case. I've been busy lately, and I don't even know where to start, but I made a deep run in the bellagio 5 diamond coming in 8th for 67 and change. The tournament was a blast and if I could have not gotten unlucky in some big pots at the ft I would have made big things happen. I really do feel like every time I play live poker I improve in one way or another. It's funny that playing a tournament like this for 5 days and getting super close to the gold but busting late only makes me more motivated to play live tournaments because I know winning is well within my reach. I guess I should feel fortunate that I react like this.

On unrelated notes, my brother sent me the song acid raindrops by people under the stairs and I love it, typed it into pandora and have a new go to station. For those of you who like lyrical rap I'd recommend it. I'm very excited to be going to aspen on monday to do some skiing before heading back to NY at the end of the week and then attending the WPT at Borgata right before christmas. After the holidays are over I'll be heading to PCA for some drunken tropical fun. I've only been skiing once before and fell on my face trying to get on the lift the first time. Once I got the hang of it I was gunning it down the mountain and my friend who has been skiing in the swiss alps and has a good bit of experience told me, 'You were going so fast that I would have been scared if I were going that fast.' I guess I'll try to learn how to stop or at least slow down this time around.
