Does anyone have a copy of the COMPREHENSIVE TEXTBOOK OF PSYCHIATRY to interpret?
Coach El Diesel is "houseless" not "homeless". That's because "home" is where the heart is. When he is in his element (namely the poker environment) he is at home because he clearly loves the grind and the volume, and the overall atmosphere of the poker/gambling environment. He also is at home when he is in any hotel room because it is consistent with his identity of being a poker nomad.
On the other hand, the man living in an 8 million dollar mansion who would rather be elsewhere (because maybe he hates the people in his household; or he actually hates his house because the payments and costs are making him stressed and unhappy; or he may really be a minimalist nomad wanderer deep inside but is now living is his McMansion prison due to parental and societal pressures to be a conformist) is not at home. He may be "at house" but he is not "at home".
Obese? Lizzo, power lifters, shotputters, plus size fasion models, some MMA fighters, and professional sumo wrestlers are obese. Who cares. They are high performers. So long as El Diesel is no longer obese by age 50, he should be fine. He's still 32. If he starts his serious weight loss program by age 42, then getting to perfect weight by 50 would be no sweat.
What's wrong with eating chicken? It is a great source of protein and fat. And KFC's, El Pollo Locos, Chick-fil-a's, Popeyes, and others are technically located on parking lots. In fact, many have outside diners. And what is the purpose of takeout boxes. Isn't it for eating at your vehicle? By eating outside his vehicle, El Diesel is getting some fresh air. Nothing wrong with "tailgaiting".
Having a law degree is a sign that a person is capable of serious study and learning. Chip Reese, Vanessa Selbst, Kelly Minken, Greg Raymer and others have law degrees. Practicing law is optional. Doing something that one loves (and which also enables the person to utilize legal skills) is a OK.
Coach El Diesel's perfect mental health cannot be found in the COMPREHENSIVE TEXTBOOK OF PSYCHIATRY. Unfortunately for the jealous haters who are deeply and truly "homeless", obese in jealousy, stress, and emptiness..
