thanks for the shout out man, the feelings are very much mutual!
would like to challenge this bit: for those who don't know me so well this, put simply, means I'm seen as a wild degenerate and people sort of expect me to portray a wild, but lovable :P degenerate
I kinda believe that this was the main reason you started this blog - a place where you could be all parts of yourself - the sometimes degenerate & struggling bigA as well as the one who's quality at poker and has epic stories/insights to share with the readers.
I personally feel that this blog is more than 'just a blog' for you - it seems like an outlet to share some of your demons into a space (the 2p2 community) that expects nothing in return. I've never read what you've written as a way of judging you, (of course I can't speak for others) but more of a pretty vital 'off-loading' space.
Hopefully you can find that space elsewhere if stopping posting in this thread is really what you wanna do. I wouldn't want you to isolate yourself.
Sad to see the end of the Blog but totally understand it's for the best. Hopefully will bump into you in the Vic someday (preferably after stacking you at 10/25 )
+1 to Bena. It's true maybe a thread like this isn't the best place to engage with those sides of yourself especially since you have a knack for theatrics, like, you might be encouraged to interact with it in that way, but it's still good to be able to express it, perhaps with closer friends and so on.
That said I'm mostly miffed I don't get a shoutout. Probably just salty I'm up on you the past 2 months for once.
