Ok, so I know there has been a severe lack of updates over the past few months. I’ve been trying to stay low key. I’m playing lots of poker again, and doing well, but I want to keep the name I use and the site I play on anonymous for now. I seem to make more money when people don’t know my identity.

The Big Day (TBD) is in 2 and a half months. That’s when I FINALLY turn twenty one. I seriously feel like I’ve been waiting fifty two years just to turn twenty one. I’ll prolly spend a week in Vegas during the WSOP Main Event (even though I can’t / won’t play since it’s before my birthday), but other than that, I won’t be going to any tournaments until TBD.

So my birthday will take place in Aruba again which is cool. After that I’m gonna instantly go into full swing. Here’s the schedule of events I’m looking at for this year:

Needless to say, I’m very excited.

Even forgetting poker, I’ve been really busy. I’ve been to four concerts already this month (Counting Crows, Brand new, Pearl Jam x2), and there are still two more to go (Muse x 2). Two friends of mine, Lydia and Sean were in town from the East Coast. They were kind of like my concert buddies back home, so I went to those shows with them. Then my step sister is coming into town and is gonna chill here for a week. LA is such an awesome city that everyone wants to visit and most of them wish they could just pack up and move here.
I haven’ been home in since January, so I’m planning a trip home mid-August. I really miss my friends back home, so it should be a great trip.

So all-in all, everything is great. I’ll try to do a couple of updates the next two months, and I’ll really pick up again when I start traveling to tournaments.
