so i havent been around much. i wonder if i've been missed. i know there are a few people i need to get back to about some things, so this is my public apology for disappearing for a little bit. however, we can point fingers for this recent disappearance.

after grinding thru 3 exams in a short week last week, i went to have lunch with etown and he lent me all 5 seasons of the wire. this was last wednesday. now i told him i was going to hang onto it and get started on the show i have heard so much about in may or so. however friday rolled around and i wasnt really in the mood to play poker online so i popped in an episode of the wire.

well 5 days later im done all 5 seasons. im sure you can figure out what my routine looked like, despite the fact yesterday i did devote about 6 hours to doing homework. actually to be honest i finished season 4 yesterday and decided ok, we are going to watch season 5 slowly and savour it. once you get started though.....

cant say enough good things about the show. characters are awesome, well written, well acted, great humour. mind you, i am coming off a lost marathon that lasted about 7 days so the next show i dived into probably would have been the bestest thing ever in comparison to lost. i dont often rewatch tv shows, except for background noise, but this show might be worth splurging on again sometime in the future.

tomorrow is friday. i have all my assignments done for the rest of the semester. there are only 4 finals in the last week of april. again im hungry for the finals, if i could write them tomorrow all in a day i would just so i could have more time to do other things, but unfortunately things dont work like that. i'll probably hit the tables, making an ali-like return to the ring. i really enjoyed my time off poker, and while i did play like 3 days in the past 3 weeks. i feel refreshed and hungry for poker again. i guess after 8 years of playing the game you do get a bit burnt out at times and i think its great that i realize when im burning out and playing bad to just close up shop and do something else for a while.

in a completely random note, i was talking with a friend yesterday about how you picture people based on their writing style online. he was quick to comment that he definitely judges people on what he reads whereas i am more critical of how things are written. it makes me wonder, do people actually look at my current blog and go "god damn this random online poker palyer, i wish he'd learn to use the shift key and properly capitalize stuff"

so with that said, i'll be seeing some of you around more often starting tomorrow.
