I know that it has been quite a while since my last blog. I was a bit overloaded with all of the things that I wanted to do, but could not attempt at the same time. That and the fact that my 3 kids were all home in late May for summer vacation and you can imagine how much time a stay at home father of 3 boys has. My last post, from what I can recall, mentioned a bad live outing at the poker tables, both live and online. That was a cue for me to take a little break from poker and focus on some other interests in the very little free time I had. I was working on finishing the first half of my treatise on the subject of legislation of the financial sector v.s. that of online poker, but I became burnt out over the subject, so I took a break from that as well. I am planning on getting back to that and am giving myself an easy due date of 2013, which I hope will be before actual legislation of online poker at the federal level.
I do plan on getting back in to blogging on a semi regular basis on a myriad of subjects, but then again, I have set goals for many things in the past 16 months and none of them have fully come to fruition, so I won't hold my breath either. One thing that I happily stopped doing was Facebook.I was getting a bit tired of posting comedic updates and looking for responses, which was my form of entertainment given the fact that I don't directly interact with the outside world, except for going to the grocery store and other errands. I haven't decided if I will go back on Facebook at some point in the future, but I would like to spend the 2nd half of 2012, Facebook-free.
Another area of loss I am looking forward to is my weight. I have always been a skinny person probably more gangly than skinny, but you get the picture...I would like to ensure that I am healthy so that I am around to bug the hell out of my kids for centuries to come. I have started to eat more salads, drink less alcohol, not have bacon double cheeseburgers with special sauce as often and eat chicken that is not fried. The next step will happen in the fall when I have more time to start running again given the fact that all 3 of my sons will be in school for at least 1/2 the day during the week.
I have started to become interested in opera again and bought season tickets to the Lyric opera this next season. the subject of music or more specifically, singing is a difficult one for me because I aspired to being an opera singer and it was a major passion in my life. I guess you could say that it was my first love. I feel as though, opera and I are trying to become friends after the difficult and painful decision to break it off. I have never become friends with an ex-girlfriend, whom I was crazy for, so I am not sure how this one will go either.
Anyways, I hope to hear from any of you out there, except for the Russian bots that try to get me to their ad sites. I hope all is well and the next installments will probably be poker related once again, to be more specific, I will pick up in my poker history series which if I am not mistaken, is the year 2010. I also had an interesting interaction in the 2+2 poker forums with an old adversary, named Dragon1893, which would be a great beginning for a little post on the history between he and I as far as online poker goes. Have fun, enjoy the heat and I will talk with you soon.
