Life's A Changin'.....
A funny thing just occured to me..... Poker's gotten boring! I don't see the thrill, I don't see the fun of it anymore when it's just to generate cash. Maybe I've gotten old.... Maybe not.
Tried to play for a bit...for like about 15 minutes.... and I got bored!!! I was making a fair bit from my usual game.... but it just seems like the sparks gone.... It just seemed like just a job.... a tough one at that too.
Well...you know what I did?.... I just pulled out all me chips and just got off the tables and decided that I'd just stop playing unless it's for fun and with friends or something like that. I'd say an occasional (and I mean it like a twice a year kinda thing), hand or two couldn't be ruled out....but I'd safely say that I won't be doing this every weekend now.
After awhile....I just kinda sat there and thought about it....why?....hmmmm.... maybe it's because I'm older?....maybe it's because I've been there and done that?....OR could it be that I got other better things to do now?.... I suspect it would be the latter. Could I also have entered some new 'phase' of life I keep on hearing about?... Growing up even?....(honestly I think I'll still be a happy kid at heart till I die.....looking at my dad and mum..that's where I'm headed).
Let's see...I kinda made a mental list in my mind about where I was at in life....what I've got..that sorta things...and I came up with the following (in no particular order);
1) I got recently confirmed in me job...so technically I'm NOW a formal employee...for the first time ever.
2) The job comes with a salary that I'm comfortable with...savings and all....
3) I really enjoy working with the people I deal with.... (more important than money this)
4) I enjoy the work that I do...(being slightly insane helps....or is that mostly insane.)
5) I have a damn manja dog that looks damn cute when he's missing mom.
6) I have understanding and encouraging parents....(yeah...nagging can't be helped once in awhile).
7) My golf is getting better.
8) I'm enjoying the new life experiences being thrown at me....(although nerve bloody wrecking at times)
That's about all I can remember for now....but hey...there are probably more reasons why I'm in such a 'chirpy' mood today.....
To end this rambling blog posting....there's a quote that comes to mind from Willy S. himself.
"All the world's a stage....and all the men and women...merely players"
-Jacques in As You Like It........i think...
I'm just happy......
or it could just be the flu medication

FurryFish's Song For The Moment 1
The number one song that's playing on me playlist at the moment is.....
it's got a great beat...
it's got great lyrics...
it's a happy song...
(And no...I don't have a new girlfriend for those of you who are wondering)
Cupid's Chokehold
(by the Gym Class Heroes feat. Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy)
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
(ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

The Lunar Eclipse....5.30am and I had nothing better to do.

New Years Resolutions....(a little late...I know).
It's been a lovely weekend of just chilling out, playing golf, yum cha-ing with friends and just watching DVDs. I would say it's been the perfect setting to take a look at life and do a little reflecting.
Sooo..... I won't bog you down with the details, but here are the various 'New' Year Resolutions that I've come up with. Yay!...more goals to achieve... (like the ones that the bosses give aren't enough).
1) Quit smoking .... again...
2) Think and speak happy thoughts about everyone and everything I meet.
3) Find balance in life again...
4) Get back discipline at work.
5) Start up aquatic landscaping again. (Yay...it's time for planting again!)
6) Play more golf...or some other sport.
7) Catch up with old friends (and new ones too) more.
8) Take weekend trips at least once every 2 months...hopefully once a month.
9) Start my DVD collection proper.
10) Take baby cousins out at least once a month.
11) Buy a shirt/ t-shirt a month (or any other external piece of clothing).
....I think that about covers it....besides the world domination thingy...but hey...you can't have everything in life.

General Musing....
Well...haven't had much to write about for awhile.....in truth, probably nothing much that I would LIKE to write about here....
Life's just been about work lately. Poker's even lost it's lustre, so I haven't really been playing.
The CPU of my mind has been busy thinking about other things.
Just for the sake of it, I'll just run down the few things that has happened in the past few weeks;
1) Guy at work has left the company....we're all going to miss him.... I'd say he was the life of the department....
2) My dog and I caught the lunar eclipse.....it was at bloody 5.30 am in the morning, so after a late night poker session (which I made a tidy profit), I decided to feed the mosquitos while I sat there waiting for the damn moon to disappear. I'll probably put up photos of it soon.
3) Emotional devastation for someone in the office... Poor thing looked haunted for the past week....But I'd think she'll be alright....
4) Office romance is in the air....and honestly, I do wish them the best...They're good people and I hope it works out for them...
5) I've been doing a lot of thinking about things and people..... decisions that have to be made....
It's been a roller coaster ride, but hey, isn't life always like that?
