Planning on getting a good amount of games in today. Going to make another deposit on Merge for today but if I dont start moving forward I wont be making any more deposits for at least a couple weeks. I'm going to be extra careful in selecting what I reg for.

I feel like Saturday's fields are typically soft as a lot of good regs take the day off. Will Merge be kind today

Don't give up on Merge yet imo, get through the run bad and you will crush it just like before

UraJeRK · 06-24-2012, 09:33 PM

Fed Merge another $20 and still nothing new. I'm going to take your advice Juice and just keep trying as responsibly as I can. Making super slow progress but I already knew it would be a slow start and tons of work. I have a few bills to pay this week so things are going to continue at snail pace for the time being.

Today I went to Target and bought food to pack for lunch this entire week. I'm determined to get my spending under control and food is a huge weakness of mine. This week should show huge improvement in that department. Going to make sure I live each day with financial stealth.

Today
Plumbing: $0
Merge: $20
Revolution: $11
Expenses: $99
Total: $130

Total BR: ~$345

since start. -$30 on PeekaBOOO (merge) also.

Hard to believe Merge is real when my lines have never been so bad and I get it in good 99% of the time. Revolution on the other hand has good structures in specific tourneys and feels far more natural. Going to give Merge a bit longer before i give up on building on that network.

I'm going to start throwing L.A. Fitness sessions in this week after work. Probably ~3days/week. I'm looking to gain at least 20lbs asap. I'm not even sure of my current weight but I'm guessing its ~155'ish and I'm 6'2". I'm going to gain weight damnit!

As of right now I have no idea were I'm working or what I'm doing tomorrow. Hopefully I find out soon cuz im fkn tired! Definitely going to get in some PXF toinght. I need to start putting a lot more work into my game if I'm going to expect to make anything happen.

UraJeRK · 06-24-2012, 10:26 PM

Im working back at that **** hole Olive Garden. Will be chipping out sauna tubes and setting floor sinks pretty much all day. #bustagrape

To a better week and more crazy nights

PXFtime.
