Fuck me? No no.. Fuck you!
What's going on,
Life's been pretty good, no real complaints. Playing a bunch, enjoying the nice weather etc etc. I'm heading to Guelph this weekend because Julie is having a bachlorette party here so I'm getting the boot. Trying to think what else is going on.. oh yeah, this is something that spun the shit out of me last night. In my condo we have a half court basketball which is pretty nice, I've never used it but I thought it would be a cool idea to organize a pick-up game once a week. So anyways we started last night and had a good time and a good work-out. During one of the games, the ball got loose, hit the wall and put a small hole in it. Yes they have a basketball gym surrounded in thin drywall, absolutely retarded. We finished playing, didn't think much about it, I went home had dinner, then I got a phone call from security. They asked me what happened, I told them the ball hit the wall during one of our games...and he says 'Ok no problem, we'll fix it and send you the bill'.
Now this guy must be fucked, because how the hell can he think I have to pay for the hole when it was completely accidental and happened while we were playing. He started blabbing about I'm responsible because if we weren't in the gym, the hole wouldn't of happened. He continued to talk a bunch of garbage and I really started to steam. I asked to talk to his supervisor and he basically said the same thing. I didn't freak out and start yelling (although I was really close too), but just told the guy there was no chance I'm paying for it. But he wouldn't shut up and he was starting to piss me off so I started to argue with him on the phone. And it was like arguing with a fucking 8 year old, the guy was mentally retarded. That spun me even more, because every time I came up with an argument, he would just go silent and say, 'yeah well you're responsible and have to pay'. I ended up just getting off the phone with him because he was putting me on severe life tilt. So now I'm waiting for the building manager to call me and I'll probably get into the same fight all over again. The funny part is, is that its probably a $10 job to fix the hole, but its the principle that I shouldn't have to pay for it because its not my fault they built a shitty gym with paper thin walls. If we drop kicked the wall and broke it, I would pay for it no problem. But they can honestly go fuck a goat because I'm not paying a dollar to fix it.
Ok sorry for being a bit ranty, but thats been spinning me since last night. What did cheer me up today was that I called Logitech because my wireless mouse stopped working. I chatted with the girl for about 5 minutes, and she said, 'Ok sorry for the inconvience sir, we'll send you a brand new mouse asap'. Now thats awesome customer service. I don't even have to send the old one back! They just trusted that it wasn't working, and are sending me a new one. Pretty nuts, because of that I'll definitely continue to buy Logitech stuff in the future and recommend it to anyone else out there.
Alright lets get to poker.... today I did something which was kind of bitter-sweet and a bit fishy at the same time. While I play during the month, I honestly never look at my results and progress. It sounds kinda weird but it helps me look at poker as one big long session, instead of immediate results. Watching your bankroll fluctuate during the swings can become very emotionally draining and can cause tilt. I basically check my results and bankroll at the end of every month. I'll go weeks at a time not knowing my bankroll is at. It is a bit weird, but it helps me.. so I continue to do it. ANYWAYS, today I had to transfer some of my hands histories from my laptop to my main computer. While doing that in my Holdem Manager program, a screen popped up giving me my stats for the month of March. The results were great and I actually won a lot more than what I thought. When I saw how much I won, I noticed I hit my monthly goal of how much I'd like to make. My monthly goal is a pretty high number, so when I hit it I'm extremely happy but when I don't I'm not too pissed because the goal is much higher than it should be. The problem with this now is that I don't want to play for the rest of the month because I don't want to lose and go below my goal. There's still 4 days left in March and in 4 days if I run bad I can completely erase my huge month and turn it into a decent month.
I know this is very fishy mentality to have. I have to think of the long run and not be results oriented because I had a good month. But I just love thinking wow I made x$ in one month. At the end of the day its all about being positive, and if taking the next few days off as a reward for having a great month, then I should do so. Start April fresh and motivated to do it all over again.
Like I mentioned I'll be in Guelph chillin this weekend, and will start playing again when I get back.
Talk to you then,
