• Didn’t fail or drop out of law school after two semesters.
• Helped defend people’s First and Fourteenth Amendment rights with the wonderful folks at the ACLU of Nevada.
• Lived with a great group of friends in the best Vegas poker house yet.
• Developed a slightly-greater-than-cursory interest in watching (obviously not participating in) MMA.
• Played three live donkaments.
• Won one of them.
• Lost ~$26k in about 209k hands of online cash.
• Won ~$10k in about 209 hands of live cash.
• Went through the motions of interviewing for 2010 summer jobs with big law firms.
• Failed to land such a summer job for 2010, perhaps due to being an awkward, inarticulate interviewee (for proof of this, you need only type my name into YouTube).
• Enjoyed most of the third semester of law school (exams pending…c’mon B-minus average!).
• Read at least one novel.
• Watched several dozen movies.
• Listened to 50 Cent’s “I Get Money” a few hundred times.
• Had needles jammed into my upper back on two occasions.
• Whined uncountably many times (insert diagonalization joke for Derk) to JCarver about poker despite being up way more on the year than I anticipated or deserved.  If there were justice in poker, one could posit that his most recent heater is a karmic reward for patiently absorbing all those whines without once threatening to beat the shit out of me.  You’re welcome, buddy!

I suppose I’ve done other stuff too; perhaps that stuff will merit mention in future blog posts.  And yes, there will be future blog posts, once I get the proper motivation to write ‘em up.  I guess I’ve always been a pretty private perfectionist, which obviously hampers my blogging abilities.  After all, if I’m unwilling to share my innermost thoughts with the world, and unwilling to churn out posts that consist merely of uninteresting poker whines and brags,  then obviously this blog’s output will suffer.  But for the love of money, I’ll shower you all in blog posts.  Until then, I’ll do my normal cop-out and list things I plan to write about.  Maybe, just maybe, I’ll get around to doing so this time.

So, dear reader(s), what would you like me to write about next?  The 10k WSOP Heads-up tournament (what little I can recall of it; I was very “in the moment” throughout much of that tournament, which I guess contributed to my success)?  Breaking even over 350k hands of internet cash games?  Books?  Movies (I’m definitely going to write about District 9 at some point, which, despite its flaws, is one of the better films I can recall seeing in recent memory)?  Law school and the law generally?  Politics?  Salacious details of my personal life?

I guess this is a call for some input in the comments.  I see those comments as proof that people actually read this; while it might be a nice personal exercise to write out my thoughts once in a while, it seems a bit pointless to do it on the internet if there’s no audience out there.  I hope at least some of you are interested in the fucked up things that bounce around my dome.  If you are, let me hear it, fuckers!  If you’re not, well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.

There was a chop, and the two played for $100k and the bracelet.
