Not the Most Exciting of Weekends

For the next 24 hours (beginning at 6:30), it will be Yom Kippur, the holiest of all Jewish Holidays. It's the nuts of Judaism for sure. Yom Kippur literally translates to "Day of Atonement," therefore it is a time to reflect one's sins and how they will be changed in the future. It will be interesting reflecting, but grueling to turn down social activities for this weekend... especially after a sorta strenuous week of work. I seriously live my life weekend to weekend, so this is sorta a rare blow to my weekend fun. I guess it's bigger than me...Oh and btw, from now until tomorrow at like 6:30 I cannot eat a single thing. Yea, sux. You're technically not supposed to drink water, but seriously I think that's a little far. The goal: to focus on your sins. However, this does exactly the opposite, so it's prob really for more of punitive purposes. At least I just had a delicious meal, consisting of 10oz filet mignon, asparagus, and french fries...mmm Ship it.

Other random things:

• Enjoying playing Counterstrike:Source. It was irritating getting everything set up at beginning, like installation, updates, and drivers, but once it's all said and done, glad I did it, because for sure it's a great game to play for 45 mins or so a day. It seriously never gets old at that rate :)
• Looking forward at least to tonight after my Synagogue services to where I can settle down and relax after a long week, and though really have no fun, I know I'll be able to enjoy Stinger's 5/10 nl video from CR
• Hopefully I can get my $1k Tilt roll this weekend!!
• Hopefully can get all necessary hw out of the way PERHAPS tonite but more likely tomorrow so I can have a fun Sunday, which is normally the designated work day. This will be an interesting change... at least I don't have much work to do this weekend! Just a powerpoint presentation and a bit of math review.

So to all my Jews reading this, happy Yom Kippur and let's grind this out with hopefully some of the thoughts in our heads that this holiday was intended for, tho for sure Saturday will definitely be a day of lots of sleep and trying to run on as little gas as possible.

On a side note, found out today that Matusow busted from the WPT Borgata in 6th. VERY disappointing, I was rooting for Matusow 150%. He's the best live poker player in the world IMO, and runs like fuck. This woulda been a sick win for him because it'd be his first WPT title(came in 2nd someone recently to online monster Kevin Saul), and right before Yom Kippur (him being Jewish as well) woulda been rele sick. $1.6m would pay off his debt, give him a nice little playing roll, and help him get outta his gross slump. Winning $290k tho isn't bad, but I'd be pissed for him for sure, because the WPT's structure makes u grind so long and hard and it's disgustingly draining, and he had the chance at that sick $1.6m. W/e, gg Mike, soon enough man.

Shout out to my boy Heir_Aparent... been runnin sorta bad recently. Hope he gets back into poker, and more responsibly (playing over his head and can be compulsive, much like myself). Hopefully he'll grind out a roll and be a college baller, so gl man.
