For every situation or emotion you feel in life, I can assure you that I can give you a poker situation that simulates that emotion or situation pretty well. After playing poker as seriously as I have I realize that it teaches me quite a bit about life and how everything is so unpredictable. You may feel as though everything is secure and you have ( Read more... )

I kept telling people that going to Play! a video game symphony was going to change my life. And I honestly feel like it has. It was the first time I ever saw a live orchastra and it gave me a lot to think about. I noticed that a lot of the people that were playing in the symphony were older. A few of them looked like they were in their late ( Read more... )

I spoke to one of my co-workers the other day. The dood is twenty-five, is married, has two kids, works two jobs and always seems to tell stories about how he got drunk the night before with his buddies.

A friend and I were talking about notebooks and I thought I'd give it ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up and thought I was ahead already. I had a half hour before work and I was dying to jump on my bike and bike around for a little bit before work started. I smoked a bowl, went down stairs to the garage and realized I left it at a friend's house the other night. Fucking huge buzz kill. Later on during my break I thought about it ( Read more... )

Today I had another one of those serious talks with my Mom. Somewhere within the conversation, I realized I simply don't have the money to go to Indonesia in November. So I decided I would just save more for Hong Kong in April. That's what I will do. Somewhere else in the conversation, my Mom managed to slip in the pot addiction and believe in God ( Read more... )

From the angsty days of high school I knew that my mind wasn't that good of a thing for me. Being alone with my thoughts is a pretty dangerous thing for me.

The only solution ( Read more... )

I remember back in high school, I traded music perferences with a friend of mine. He gave me a CD with a band I thought I'd never really like. But as I listened to the CD over and over, it gripped me so tightly and I just let it. To many people, this band makes nothing bunch a huge pile of noise. All the screaming and yelling seems to be ( Read more... )
