This is a little bit of everything. I am sitting here playing 25NL poker and I am not doing terribly well. I make some bad choices on the all-ins but I am still learning. I love the game of poker, wish I had some more approval from my folks, but my Dad is one of those who firmly believes that you cannot be a winner at poker over your lifetime. I finished the last couple episodes of the WSOP coverage before the final table airs next week. I still hope to buy-in to the WSOP main event by age 30 which means i have 4 more years. I don't want to win, I just want to compete. I watch and see people bust out with 500k in winnings and I would be estatic to win just that small amount which I think is more than I have made total in my life.
Ultimate Championships are coming up this Thursday through Sunday and I have tons of friends who are playing in the various devisions. Now I am delighted at all of their success but it makes me look back on my playing career and wonder what I could have done if I had trained harder. I wonder what I can possibly do from here on out as I am 26 and perhaps have a couple years where I can be in true prime condition, but I look at people like Britt Atack and he is in rediculous shape and definitely not in his early 20's anymore. I hope I can change my path and come May I want to be playing for a better team. I love the guys on Downpour but I want to acheive something greater in the world of frisbee. I want to go to the big dance in Florida.
Two weeks ago I began a training program at the Seattle Aquarium to be a volunteer. I am using it mainly to get my foot in the door as I want to be a biologist there but as of yet i cannot even get a job interview. Whenver a position opens up they have close to 1000 applicants and it's just so hard to stick out on resume' andd job experience alone. It's going well and it's something I have been through before but I go through it with trepidation sometimes. I like the people and the facility is great, I just don't know that I want to put in 100 hours in touch tanks before I am allowed to do anything else. I did get to see an old friend (Becky) who runs special events so it's nice to still see the same old faces around. We'll see how it goes.
