OH. HAI!!!
Got back from the trip with mah friends two days ago which was a super-awesome week that in hindsight was much needed.
This week was originally gonna be a test week to see how much time I put into various things like studying/playing etc. but since I got back from the trip at 4 on sunday, went straight to a friends 21st beach-party which went till 10:30 at which point I was totally destroyed, I decided not to set an alarm and catch up on the ludicrous amounts of sleep debt accrued over the past week.
So I was meant to post the blog yesterday morning (monday) except I made the crucial mistake of closing the browser window because I'm a boss like that, losing a good hour of progress. Instead of being spurred on to write it up again quickly, I was in "can't be fucking bothered at all mode" instead went out for lunch to catch up with a friend! That turned into an afternoon and by the time I got home it was time to start preparing dinner for a couple of friends I had invited around, then straight onto choir for an evening of practice for our Mozart's Requiem concert.
At this point I'm ready to go to sleep in my car (it's 9pm), but then someone mentioned those magic words, "Carls Jr.?" and I just couldn't say no. It's this epic fast food/burger place and I felt like I hadn't seen my choir peeps in forever, nek minit I get home at 11:30 after dropping what seemed like 17 people home.
PIX OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN
Aight, aight... So there was some of this....
...many of these ;)...
...SO. MUCH. WIN....
...a metric fuckton of sweet, sweet this...
....and a short but sweet amount of this..
All in all it was a one fine holiday. See if you can spot a wild chenny8888 in those pics ♦
What now, eh?
Well, since I didn't allocate the time for it I never concluded my last work week. I managed to nail all the goals I set out and even though I didn't allocate any for friday I managed to get in a solid work day and go for a run etc. anyway for BONUS POINTS!
Country music club was tons of fun as always, although because it came so close after Joseph finishing I had so little time to memorise the lyrics and had to rely on the crutch of having music in front of me. Regardless, I felt I delivered a good performance anyway and will be going again TOMORROW after another couple days of cramming lolol.
Since the inception of this blog, a few things have become apparent:
-Setting standards to reach each week increases quality and quantity of work done by a huge margin
-Daily exercise is sooooo important for my both focus and general mood levels. I never feel more pumped than after an hour of kickboxing. My toe has been given enough time to heal and I should start back next week to see how it goes.
-Ties into the above but everything is just better when I'm eating healthy. The habits that have been ingrained in the lead up to Joseph as a result of the abs challenge are here to stay
Non-poker wise I've expressed interest in starting a youtube channel and also playing...
...which I've been anticipating for a looong time. It's installing now and I'll be damned if I'm not clocking in several hours of sweet, sweet gameplay today.
This week
Okay, there will be work done this week, but my main focus is going to be getting the groundwork for this youtube channel settled which will be mainly getting familiar with my recording equipment and software as well as practicing and singing a lot. Also, SKYRIM!
I will play poker in the mornings and sing/experiment in the afternoons. Probably will end up putting in some good hours in the evening too poker-wise.
-Morning walk

-Pre session ritual of study card review and either reading learning material or reviewing other people's forum hands

-Review my hands post-session and either forum them or save them for coach

-Afternoon run

-Not sure if this is going to be possible but...have first youtube video uploaded by sunday. There's a crazy amount of work to be done for this one, but mainly learning so it's easier in future.
