I stood 10 feet from this Masterpiece.

It still impacts me to this day.

I learned more from Doug's free youtube videos than I have learned anywhere else in the known universe.

Shoutout to Doug Polk. I think of him as The Bobby Fischer of Poker, kinda. He was the #1 heads up player in the world in 2013, which is the year that my life started falling apart for the 2nd time.

He also staked me very briefly in 2008, at 50nl, along with many other BBV'ers during the 1st great era of 2p2.

I believe there will be a 2nd.

This has been the best three weeks of my adult life.

I've barely slept, and barely accomplished a thing outside of this blog.

I am seriously giddy at the future's possibilities for me.

Everybody's been there
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy

Fallen for the fear and done
Some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
But don't run, stop holding your tongue

Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

One of the craziest dudes alive, a very dear friend of mine, was released from prison almost one month ago.

We are like brothers, and he definitely has my back.

He's also one of the best small stakes live poker players in the world.

No joke.

Having him in my corner has made me truly fearless.

I'm very tempted to write publicly on my experiences in Four different psych wards over the years.

But there is a, "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" kinda feel to it.

It's also not that interesting.

I'll summarize the four, and will consider sharing more in the future.

1) Tortured for two weeks
2) Felt like an awkard Summer Camp
3) Military Training with Three Other Heroes
4) Tortured for seven weeks

Some things I will not do for even One Billion USD:

- Jump out of a plane
- Deep sea diving, or really anything below snorkling, definitely anything requiring an oxygen tank

To this day, the scariest poker player ever is Brian Townsend.

Getting locked up for crazy (and then having to prove to idiots that I'm not) has always been one of my biggest concerns.

A little of both. I never aimed to end up in the tank. All technically involuntary.

1) picked up by the police
2) tried admitting myself to a lighter place, was sent to the summer camp
3) called the police on myself
4) arrested by the police

I am totally spent.

Mood and low grade anxiety have been mercurial this morning.

Possibly taking a few hours off from blogging.

I have 7 Ativan pills and 8 nights to consider.

That means I'm ahead of schedule.

My Doctor better be plussed.

What often brings me down:

Laying in bed trying to sleep.
Breathing pattern changes.
Anxiety over breathing ensues.

What always brings me up:

A good joke.
Adult films when the actors are having fun.
Speaking on the phone with friends.
Stepping outside.
A good Poker Game.

What sometimes brings me up:

Sleeping.
Weed.
Coffee.
Laying in bed.

The truth is I didn't know that much about what it meant to be a good friend prior to interacting with All-inMclovin.

He's the older brother I never had.

Shoutout to Mclovin. The most loved mod on 2p2.

It’s easy to be a good friend to you.
