Call me superstitous...

Not sure that there's been any real level of concern over my lack of daily entries... I was playing a shit load in October and November, but started to run cold. 
 
At first I started to blame it on blogging, kind of like having a shirt be unlucky... so, I did the SMART thing.  No, I didn't take a break, I just stopped blogging.
 
Kept playing, whittled my online account down a fair bit... so once December hit, I stopped playing online except for the random day to give myself a break and concentrate on finishing school.
 
Fellow player on here staked me a few times at live games, and that was the only way I was really getting money for rent and random out nights.
 
I finally got my bachelor's in Journalism in December and have been happily unemployed since.  I've been gradually picking up the online play more, but I'm reallllly encountering a lot of variance... both in my play and the cards.
 
Live I was running relatively well and getting paid off on semi-decent hands, so I kept getting staked... but the last three times I've sat down have ended pretty poorly... so, kind of on the look out for something part-time to fund the poker as well as kill time until I get a "real" job.
 
So... basically I stopped blogging because I blamed it for me running bad.  Smart, I know.
 
If you'll have me back, I'll eagerly run my post count up a ridiculous amount.

January 18, 2008, 10:30PM Posted by DeiYuo	Come and go as you please, your journal/blog is for your personal use.   But yes, you and your thoughts were missed.   Regarding superstition, we all have it.  I lean the opposite of you and think if I *dont* post I am lying to myself and then will be unlucky ;)   Personal note.. happy to hear you graduated and have work in your field.  From my exerience when you have poker as a sideline type of income and can play when and how much you please at any limit you are much more successful as it takes the stress away.   Happy to hear from you, a few of us were wondering.
