Eng sent me $75 so i've been playing with that on PS recently. I was down to $40 and then sat at .25/.50 NL heads up and got it up to $135 yesterday. I'm starting to like heads up again since it's pure poker. The only bad thing is that it gets really draining really fast somtimes, if you let it. Any slip up and you immediately see the result. Nonetheless, i'm gonna try to build up my br from it.

Also what i've been noticing is that it takes me longer to adjust to online players rather than live. That shouldn't matter though since if im patient enough i'll be able to capitalize on my opponents mistakes.

Today is a pretty chill day. Parents are away at Brooklyn looking at furniture for the new bathroom. I smoked a bowl and found some photo albums. lol mad nostalgically cliche, i guess.
The pics were from when Me my mom and dad went to Florida and stayed at Club Med and Disney. I was around 6 years old, a few years before my brother was born.
I also found pictures of the road trip me and my dad once took. Mom ended up staying home and we went to DC, williamsburg VA and Busch Gardens.
That brought back tons of memories. I also saw this one photo of a tombstone of someone who must've been a relative but it was in russian so I couldn't make it out. I'll ask my mom about it later. The pic was mad eery. It was a graveyard in a forest with bare trees and flowers on every grave.

I haven't really written about anything other than poker in here, but maybe i'll start to write more. It's the best way that i can really reflect about life.

Nirvana Ukelele is amazing.
