Bitch I'm on my grind!!

LIFE:

Been really good and I can't complain. John Mayer was good but he shorted me on songs I wanted to hear. SXSW was super sick fun and the whole week I was hungover every morning and out of the gym. I had a freaking blasty blast though with so many good friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Highlights were partying with Meriweather at an open bar party at the Driskill hotel. Barcelona 2 nights in a row and telling them how much I loved them while drunk. Muse in the lawn with a bunch of people and the poor girl who scaled the wall only to jump back down to help her friend who fell. Minus the bear right in front the night before I left. I'm actually heading back to Austin today to hang with J0hndayt0n and Neil_Rick and just bring it! They decided to do the Velocity Diet that I had done and I decided to go train with them and help them out and stay focused. I will be dieting and training sick hard with them which I'm really excited about. I'm going to do a harder version of the advanced velocity diet. Will be good to have us all dieting and training hard helping each other stay focused and motivated. The diet is not easy and I have mad respect for them doing it! So Austin for me will be working out hard, no drinking, no cheat food, reading, hiking and grinding sick hard. Been working on my 100 things to do list and here are 25 of them.

1. be nicer to my loved ones and friends and make an effort to treat everyone fairly
2. say what I truly feel in the moment, there's not much time left
3. make a minimum of 150k this year playing poker.
4. meet with the artist in Austin this week and get my sleeve done before my birthday
5. get to my ideal lean state and not be so hard on myself about eating/drink
6. skydive
7. get back into some form of martial arts and/or Yoga
8. purchase a home/condo and pay for the mortgage with money not from my playing
9. become an ebay powerseller again and maintain a steady side income from that
10. coach poker and help others become better players
11. find her and start building something together, whatever it may be
12. get back into music and recording (must play a show or record something this year)
13. redo my digidesign pro tools certification
14. take guitar lessons from a beast
15. volunteer my time to help and/or teach people
16. give a homeless person money and/or help when they actually need it
17. start painting/drawing again
18. read before bed and try and read a book a week
19. try to be more humble and kill the ego (hard being a leo and a poker player)
20. hire a cash game coach
21. celebrate my birthday in Vegas with her and close friends (bellagio/venetian suite)
22. invest 1/3 of my profits every month in something (gold,stocks etc etc)
23. get involved with real estate, I know too many people in it not to.
24. do it right in Vegas this summer and grind harder, less lighting money on fire
25. smile at people who walk by and who look like they could use one

POKER

I have worked really hard on my game since coming back from bfizz11's house. I review hands daily, think about spots and try and focus hard and learn from my mistakes. I didn't met my 10k in a month goal but we did really well and will take the current results. Below is my updated graph of slightly under a month of play. Including some live tournaments I pwned, I'm up a lil over 6k total in 27 days. I ran pretty bad last week but kept my head up and stayed on my grind. Once in Austin I will put in even more volume as I will have no distractions and plan on making sure April is a 10k month even with taking off time for Coachella. Also while in L.A. for the festival I plan on playing some live cash and checking out Commerce and after that head to Vegas for a wedding and grind some there. Sky is truly the limit and I'm so on my grind!

Happy Trails!
