Silly Infatuations

Those of you who have read my blog over the years know that every 6-8 months or so I get this infatuation that I end up thinking about 24 hours a day 7 days a week for about 2 weeks straight. These infatuations usually take up all of my free time, even to the point of me making excuses to try a create MORE free time to waste on these silly little things.

These are usually games of some sort, either on the PC or on the Playstation 2 - and even though I have a butt load (which around here is ALOT) of stuff to blog about, they take a back seat to whatever crazy thing I have bouncing around in my head.

This time it's poker...again.

This is not the first time that I thought I am the poker worlds newest and brightest star. Oh no. I have written blog posts about how while I only have a mere $20 in my poker account, that I have the skill and the ability to turn that into thousands of dollars. Hey, it's not my fault the poker worker world has yet to find this undiscovered talent!

Sigh.

It started last week when I somehow won around $21 playing online one morning - practically doubling what I had in the account and sending me on this path of ridiculous obsession. One silly morning where I lucked into a great hand and some fool who had probably been up all night hits a wrong button thereby making me think I am this poker phenom.

Thankfully reality has a way of splashing some nice, icy cold water in my face. The reality of the fact that since that $21 victory, I have since lost that money - along with about $5 more. The reality that I have wasted a too many countless hours of my vacation playing this silly little game and getting absolutely no where with it.

The reality that I suck at poker.

I will be back tomorrow, trying to get caught up on all of the good stuff that happened over the holidays. Thank you for being so patient with this little kid.
