Hey guys!

I've been promising pics of our place and of my car for a while now and have yet to deliver! I'm writing this post with the promise that I will post it tonight after our first kickball playoff game. We're the only undefeated team. As the saying goes, in the land of the mediocre athletes the men who are slightly above mediocre are king!

I just wanted to make a post about poker for once. It's not something theoretical or that deep. I think that one of the most satisfying feelings in poker is putting in a long session, getting beat down after beatdown, JJ v QQ a million times... and coming out the other side to book the W. Better than that, I played so long yesterday that I enterred into some Rainman phase of transcending the virtual felt and experienced the inside of many player's souls. Every bet, the timing, the sizing, the board texture, the stack sizes, everything was just taken in and reacted to very well. It could've just been the fact that around 7am, my mind was telling me to stop by having these feelings, but I also crushed everyone I played during this feeling, so I'm going to choose the results oriented mystic feeling everytime. Has this ever happened to you guys? I think it's like when pro athletes talk about how they're in the zone or how the basket just looks like a hoolahoop from the three point line. Anyway, it was cool and I thought I'd ask around and see if others had the same feeling.

I'm off to food and kickball. I'll post some sick things ASAP. <3

-Reid

i think everyone gets that from time to time. right now i'm reading flow by mikhaly czxidspoit5jab (sp?), and it's basically about trying to cultivate that mindstate for longer and longer periods of time. really good so far (but i'm a sucker for anything psych-related like that)

Or as I think the more traditional version says, 'In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king'

Yes Barebase, that was the saying I was playing on.

Lostinthesaus, we won our first playoff game by going into the last inning down 3-2 and pulling it out with one out remaining. It was a clutch game with a close play at the plate, so we went out to celebrate which involved a shot wheel and lots of pitchers. Pix are up asap. I did take a bonus video of my room mate killing a spider that somehow got into our place. He uses a gigantic knife and talks it through dying, so it's clutch too.
