Fourth of July, hiking and poker
Fourth of July was pretty much boring till the evening. Although I got some grocery shopping done and had time to water my lawn (isn't that sad lol). The excitement came when goody_man made it deepish in the MSOP Main Event on Full Tilt. I had like six bucks of him so I anxiously railed. He survived three huge bad beats and finished 237th out of 5700 or so. It just wasn't meant to be. He made me about 13 bucks and my first cash staking people.
I went over to my parents in the evening. They don't really like fireworks so I went across the street with my sister in-law (Savannah) and we hung out over there. I didn't plan on buying fireworks, but Savannah wanted to go buy sparklers. Of course I got the guy at the firework stand to give me three boxes of artillery shells for $25 and that was a steal. So the rest of the night my old neighborhood friends lit off all our fireworks in probably safest, yet non-safest way. In my opinion, if you aren't in any kind of danger trying to light your firework than you aren't having enough fun. Three years ago a Rose Bloom (like the safest, dumbest firework ever and is just supposed to spin on the ground and give off different colors) malfunctioned and went off like a bullet and hit me in my leg and proceeded to still fly about 200 yards. I limped for two months. To this day I have a dark perfect circle scar on my lower leg.Â
So the night was fun, I reunited with old friends and actually interacted with people. It was awesome and the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. I'm in my element when it comes to fireworks.
Today I woke up at about 11:30am and my brother, his wife and I went up to Boulder Cave and hiked for a couple miles. Â

We took the river on the way back. It was fun, especially when Scott, my brother, fell in a hole and was up to his chest in water.

I got back home at about 4:00pm and went straight to poker. That's when the day started going down hill. I'm in a slump at the tables. It doesn't help that I am getting depressed about my whole loneliness situation. I'm finding myself texting my ex just to tell her that I miss her... I know that this is a bad idea. It's horrible because it's just making things worse. She totally ignores me. Today she finally told me that she is ignoring me because she wants us just to move on and to forget about each other. Well shit, easy for her to say... I'm miserable. I just broke down like 10 minutes ago cause I had pictures of her in my Pictures folder on my computer. I was about to delete them until I physically couldn't do it. I mean those pictures have always been priceless to me and still are. She is so beautiful. They hurt me so much to look at them, but I can't bring my self to just delete them out of my life. After how she has treated me through this whole thing, I still love her to death and she doesn't even want to talk to me.
Ok, poker results. I played 72 games. Lost 10 buy-ins. Blah. Over my last 139 games, I'm 22 buy-ins down. So hopefully I can turn this around soon. I feel that I'm playing the same, so I can't just keep dropping like this.
Tip of the day. Don't dwell on short term downswings. Just keep playing your game and brush it off. It's not worth the stress.
