Cage Combat
I am training ricky for a cage fight coming up on January 23rd. I don't really do much. Lift with him and stuff. Showed him a cool takedown I knew. But it is fun working out and practicing jiu jitsu stuff.
Newest goal for me: Win the $22 Heads up matches this week. Meaning the monday night tournament next week is my last shot.
Let's see

Oh btw, it's a new year
I specifically did not make any new years resolutions this year. Except to continue working towards the goals I've already set for myself. One goal is to keep this blog updated this year. As I expect that by the end of the year there will be people wanting to read it.
My 2 main goals are to make money and to lose weight. In no specific order because they are both the most important goal. I want to weigh 225 lbs by April. This will be a hell of a goal to meet as I am pressing 260lbs right now. However my current situation should be conducive for making it happen. Ricky and I are going to be working out almost every day the next 5 months. As well as we are both making it a priority to eat healthy. I've came up with a diet that I like. Basically, Eat a really big breakfast(1000 + calories) eat only fruit/vegetables for lunch(besides maybe a small amount of meat in a salad) and eat a normal portioned dinner (not a big dinner, maybe 2 chicken breasts and some vegetables).
My financial goals are pretty basic. All my income is most likely gonna be from poker and I'd like to make a respectable salary this year. Starting off it's a grind being staked by Primo. The good thing about that is I'll be able to play higher stake games and bank all of my winnings without having to worry about bankroll management.
Another goal is to get a 4.0 in school this semester. Doing that will even out my sketchy first semester 1.8 into an at least acceptable gpa so that I won't have trouble transferring when I decide to. I have History, English, Accounting, Intro to Public Speaking. Accounting should be the only class where I have to work for an A but I have the same professor as last semester so that is cool. Also have the same History professor. Got C's in both of there class last semester plan on "turning over a new leaf" this semseter. I'll keep track of any comments they might make about the new me and post them in here.
My friends and I have made the decision to actively try and live better. In all areas from Diet,Exercise,Appearance,Character, Sleep,School. Whatever. Just deciding to be better people. Better dressed, Better smell, Better spoke. So the beginning of this semester is gonna be our first stepping stone as we get out into the world of people at school and have tons of daily interactions. Like one thing we are doing is wearing nice clothes to school like dress shirt/dress pants combo's. We'll take some pics I'm sure.
More Later.

Short, Medium, Long
So today is my first day of Christmas break. I have been busy the last couple months and am just now getting back into playing poker.
I am fully staked by PrimordialAA now and am working through the limits. It's a pretty cool setup. I just have to prove I can beat each level and he moves me up a limit. I am at 11s now and will hopefully be moving to $22s before January. I plan on getting to 55s and grinding those for a while fully staked and banking some money from it.
This semester went pretty well I enjoyed it for the most part. Came out with decent grades so that's all good. I will be returning to GRCC next semester. My friend Ricky is transferring to GRCC for the semester and will be living with me for the next 5-6 months which is pretty cool and exciting.
I am planning on moving to North Carolina to live with my brother Luke after the school year ends. I'm doing this for a few reasons. #1 I want to. #2 I am not really motivated to go to any University next year. It's been my dream for a long time to take a year off and travel. So I am going to try it. I think living in N.C will give me a better opportunity to do so. As well as I just don't feel like I'm making much progress here and I think me and Luke working as a team will create sick things.

Round 2
Just went swimming for the 2nd time. Had goggles this time. Pretty good workout. I got through about 800 yards + warm up/down. In a lot less time then the 500 took me last time. I also mastered the flip turn. By master I mean when I do it I inhale a bunch of water through my nose and it hurts real bad. Then am about to black out by the time I am up for air. But I am pretty sure I look good doing it... So...
Poker has been really stagnant the past few days. Breaking even or losing a couple dollars each day. I am going to move down to 11 4's for just a little bit. I feel it will be easier for me to move down to 11 4's for a short period of time to rebuild myself to a comfortable $22 roll than it will be to continue playing bad at the 22's and be on a short bankroll before I know it. That being said, things aren't all that bad and I still have $700 in my account so. Dropping down to $11's is really just a personal choice that I think will be +ev for a few days. Hopefully.
