Today's news:
- Ordered a VAMPIRO at El Pastor, effing delicious. I had fasted up until 5pm, it was only $8, and I may be eating one of these a day going forward.
- I have an edge at The Wynn (1/3). I wasn't so sure I did prior to landing in Vegas, I had played there one year ago and felt uncomfortable resistence in-game. But now, for whatever reasons, I know I can beat their games with certainty.
- Predictably got into it with a pathetic reg at a different casino. I stacked him preflop AA > AK which caused him to hate me, bark at me, and now talk **** about me IN FRONT OF ME at the table. A true imbecile, I'm looking forward to verbally destroying him in the coming weeks.
- My poker game is likely at an all-time high. My mental health is also at an all-time high. These two work together. The Bad news: I still don't know how to play every hand in every spot pre-flop, luckily I know what I don't know (Immanuel Kant has nothing on me) and there are resources. Dog Polk's frequent strategy e-mails are excellent for learning how to play hands; I save all of his briefings in a seperate folder and will do a deep dive at some point.
- One of my very best friends is likely in Jail. It's been a week since he's checked his phone, and there is more concurrent evidence that is too private to share. Really, really, really sucks
.
- One of my biggest faults/deficits was sharing sensitive information. It appears I have adapted for the better.
- I bought a rectangular prism full of Halls breath mints, thinking they were gum instead I was quite disappointed.
- Vegas rules. I hope to make a few friends in the coming months... given I am not yet tired of playing Poker after 19 years of play, I don't really see myself burning out and turning to hate the town. I've been insulated in areas near my residence; there is SO much stuff to explore I'm actually a tad overwhelmed with thoughts of endless delight.
- There are six books I need to read, and around 15 that I'd like to. I want to learn how to read for 2 hours per day. I even enjoy it! ADD is a mother ****er. (really though, I'm still weak-willed in certain areas, always time for improvement...)
- The healthier I get, the more boring I feel. Not bored - I enjoy the **** out of life - just hardly anything inspiring or worth sharing. Having the crazies + some type of creative talent = endless thoughts of grandeur built into faulty logic. Now I'm more of a chill cat, online and off.
- It's 8:30 PM on a Tuesday in Las Vegas. I am still an absolute nobody, with no credentials, or anything to show. Yet I am secretly on top of the world...this city will know who I am before I'm done with it. That I am sure of.
- I hope to not come off too egocentric or arrogant. In reality I'm none of these so much, I just like using a badass voice to speakerphone my thoughts in writing.
I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow. Besides stacking chips and building an office chair, tomorrow events remain in flux and undetermined.
