10-10-10

Recently I caught myself complaining about not having time to do things I enjoy.  My ideal day would consist of a multitude of activities that probably would not be possible if our Earth day was 48 hours.  Most people would not consider picking up another hobby to be a remedy for not having enough time for hobbies, but since I spend so much time in front of my computer I don't think this will be a bad idea.


Myself in a nutshell:  I'm 28 years old, I have 5 sisters, 2 brothers, a nephew, and a niece.  I consider myself very lucky to have a big, loving family.  I also consider myself lucky to have great friends.  I grew up in Rochester, New York, I lived here until I was 24 years old, at that point I packed up and moved to Las Vegas where I lived for two years.  I have always enjoyed sports, playing more than watching.  I play Basketball a few days a week, the majority of my close friends I met from playing basketball it's a good way to stay healthy, connected, and keep up the camaraderie with friends at the same time.  While I was in College at SUNY Cortland I learned how to play poker, that was a life changing experience.  I was caught by the simplicity of the game, the mystique, the adventure, but really I just wanted to make as much money as I can.  I know a lot of things I experienced in life would not be possible if I never learned how to play, although, almost every day I play I get annoyed with the volatility of the game.  I consider Poker to be the gift and curse of my life.   Although I enjoy playing Poker, I am not sure if it's something I am passionate about.  During my time in Las Vegas, I worked for a NPO called Success For Kids.  My time spent with this program helped me uncover my gifts relating to children, I definitely exuded a passion for helping children that is an unmatched passion so far in my life.  I think when the time is right, the ideal opportunity will present itself.

Back to the real moment: I've decided I need a forum to express how I feel about things.  The world could use my opinion, there are so many opinions out there I'm sure one more won't mess up the space-time continuum.  I also want to use this to keep people updated on my life, more for me than you actually, I thought that maybe if I took an interest in my poker playing it might help me perform better.  So as it goes on lucky 10-10-10 I make two final tables, and i'm still down 3,628 dollars on the month.  Gift and the Curse as I told you...
