    it has occured to me i am good at ~3 things in this life. pokers, video games and trolling. i have greatly neglected the former of those three due to life issues. i feel okay at the moment and moments like this are becoming more rare, and after reading this blog again i put a lot more effort into this game at one point in my life and i have to start doing that again if i want to be successful as my arrogance and entitlement have held me back.

    now ego in poker is an unusual thing in teh pokers. ego always results in you thinking you are better than most everyone else. and this leads into two trains of thought when you lose. either A) well they suck at got lucky but it's k cause i'm better than them. or B) welp they beat me and i'm better than them so how can i learn from this. obviously B) is the train of thought i used to follow and got side tracked into A) over the the last year in a half. gotta fix that and protect mah neck. wu tang clan ain't nothin ta fuck wit

    Ego and success go together, because lack of ego will prevent you from taking necessary risks.
    Humility and success go together, because lack of humility is the cause of stagnation and mediocrity.
    Even a fool can have great success if he can be taught these two things.
    ...
    But, more importantly:
    BIKES ISN'T GONE FOREVER!!
    I'm glad you're still posting, as I don't think we'd maintain acquaintance otherwise, and you've been cool to me. I have appreciated getting to know you in this twisted forum.
