This vacation so far has not been terrible, tho probably not quite enjoyable. However, my stay at Cannon Beach (tonight will be the third and last nite) has been quite pleasant. I've grown to appreciate the beach more than I did when I was younger, and realize now how fun it would be to come here on a road trip with a group of friends. Tomorrow is my last day at the beach, and tomorrow night my last nite away from Vienna, Virginia!!! I'm so excited to get bak to a normal diet, normal sleep schedule, LOTS OF POKERSTARS GRINDING :) :) , and probably most importantly all the friends I miss. It's very nice though having a facebook and other mediums of communication to contact one's friends because when you're away for so long (in my case 3 weeks), it becomes quite lonesome to not have many people to relate to.
Food conclusion/Culinary Epiphone- eating out at nice restaurants constantly, even when the bill is not paid by you, gets rather dull and one begins to appreciate food they prepare themselves more than the food from skilled chefs. I've definitely noticed this with any food I eat at restaurants somewhat frequently. The list of foods- Chicken, all chinese food, steak, and really any other kind of food I've had even once before that I can remember the taste of. While out here, I was very happy I had Cajun halibut at a restaurant which I was quite pleased with. Unfortunately, due to guilt that would result from ordering it, I did not have crab or lobster. The crab and lobster dishes were pretty much the most costly on the menus, in the neighborhood of about $32 each. Anyway, don't eat out too much because you will lose appreciation and food just won't taste as good, not to mention your wallet will certainly become lighter...
As far as poker goes, I'm very happy with the overall way I've played when I did get to play at my Grandpa's retirement home. I'm so happy I got that money shipped on Stars, and I'm looking forward to grinding for fun at home WITH MY POKERTRACKER (!) and reviewing sessions. Poker is seriously a great game because it not only provides stimulation in that part of your mind that simply is unreachable without poker/gambling IMO, but also gets you thinking in a way that is so logical and not merely set in the present that it is truly a unique experience. Those who think about poker on a deep level get hooked because of it's seemingly simple, yet really it's got so many layers and thinking levels. Actually, the better you get at poker, the more you question even the most standard playing lines, especially when the stacks get deeper, and you're also most likely always playing versus different opponents almost every session. The best poker players are like aggressive chameleons, changing their play but always adapting to the situations. Definitely will update with PT stats and be completely honest about my sessions to come. To be honest, a blog is a very rewarding experience for a serious poker player because I can definitely say I've enjoyed looking at my past blog posts and how I've played hands. I've learned from different things, and especially after explaning the thought processes that went into the hands and the lines I took, I think I've become definitely a better player. I definitely feel very well right now that I will soon be back in VA with my car, friends/good times, and just grinding for the competition and appreciation for the game. Plus I hopefully will make some $$ to spend because I still have a bit of the summer to live out, hopefully in an exciting and somewhat lavish manner :)
