There is something wrong with me. I’m constantly afflicted with this uneasy feeling. It drags me down during the day. It keeps me up at night. It is completely unhealthy and yet it is the one thing that keeps me living. How can something control my life but take it away at the same time? My life is imprisoned in purgatory in which ultimate triumph is within my grasp but failure... Read More

A little after one in the Morning.

I open my mouth and I watch as the smoke dances it’s way into the cold. It slithers and swirls as it serenades my senses. The nicotine numbs my mind as my body relaxes, joyfully digesting the dose. I close my eyes and lean my head against the wall, letting out a deep exhale as it pushes the rest of the poison out of my system. I am calm. My breathing is lethargic, and my legs... Read More

If there’s one thing any poker player can agree on, it’s that money comes and goes like water. Once we put enough away for a bank roll (and I know many of us don’t), it’s our natural instinct to go out and spend the big bills. Whip out that wad of Benji’s. Buy some toys.  One minute you’re going through the hottest run of your life where everything... Read More

Don’t Take the Girl

When I was young, growing up in good ole’ Texas, I listened to country. Who didn’t?  I never knew how to set my radio station correctly when I was younger, so my older sister, who was a “kicker”, a Texan term for country folk, would set it for me. My sister had it all. Country like a mofo. Even me. Cowboy boots and the hat at one point in my life. But anyways,... Read More

AC Trip Recap: 1/30/09

Scared money don’t make money. That’s was the first mantra I adopted when I begin playing cards seriously and competively nearly four years ago. No person, not just in poker, can make any money if they are scared to invest it. Poker is not gambling. It is a game that has statistics and skill, but most of all, the room for imagination and creative play. Any hand can potentially... Read More

Insomnia.

Here I am. Staring blankly at the clock as it reads 4:20 AM. I have to wake up for work in less than three hours, but yet… here I am.  It’s been another night of tossing and turning. I can’t sleep. These nights have become frequent in the last month and it’s finally starting to catch up to me. My sleeping is irregular. My eating is different. My eyes are... Read More

Love Bomb

I bought the N.E.R.D. – Seeing Sounds album via iTunes the other week after hearing Sooner or Later on Youtube for the first time. Then I heard Everyone Nose. Then I found this gem on the album that should be the next single. It’s fuckin’ HOT. I love it. Such a great song. I’ve been rocking out to the entire CD for the whole week. Definitely worth the money,... Read More

My Only 2009 Resolution

Nearing the end of 2009, I naturally began thinking about what I wanted to do in 2009. For some reason, I felt obligated to make this one of my biggest years. I guess that comes with starting my career, moving to a new city by myself, and turning 21. So, I sort of cheated. I thought about making a list. But that’s too definite. I don’t want to check items off of a list... Read More
