Fall Seven Times Stand Up Eight

     I haven't given up on the "Something from Nothing" project at all. As a matter of fact I've won a few of the free rolls putting me at $13.03 in total winnings, but I've had to back off the bloging / vloging because of some personal issues. I would write about it here, but I covered it as best I could on my personal blog. If you're interested here's the link. My Road to Happiness - Medication Advice

   Still going, just with a few more hiccups. Next week if everything goes well I'll start some sit-n-go's or maybe some micro cash games... Anyway - thanks for reading, and good luck in the rings.

Farcical... That's All I Can Say at the Moment

Farcical is a fancy word that sounds like "fart," but means 'resembling a farce; ludicrous; absurd.'

While it is a big, funny sounding word, it's the only thing I could come up with to described how this entire project has become... 

From really cool highs (winning a few bucks, and actually making progress) to almost unbearable lows (mostly in the technology department; but also the striving for balance between doing this and remaining family focused.)

The latest setback - all but 3 of the YouTube videos have disappeared from the channel. I've requested assistance from the YouTube support department, but dealing with them for just the past few hours has helped me to accept the reality that those videos are gone. I have kind of an interesting video I finished today for the YouTube channel, but after I post it I think I'm going to step away from that for a little while. Too much headache, very little payoff.

All that aside there is good news - I placed in the cash for two of the free rolls I played today. Just a few cents for the first one, but I came in 5th for the second one, and bumped the bank roll up a couple of bucks. As of this afternoon I'm sitting on $10.25

It's not much, but it's getting there! I'm thinking about giving a few of the $1 sit and goes a try next week, but I'll have to wait and see how the schedule works out.

Anyway - thanks for reading the update! Have a great night, and good luck in the rings!

Not Just Killing, But Murdering Time!

Today was a waste of a day. I played 3 different tournaments, and busted out before the cash in all three. Two of them were within the first 30 mins.

Honestly I'm getting board with it. With everything going on in my life it's really difficult to get motivated about pocket change, but I also knew that this is what I was getting into when I started the series.

In the last 7 days I think I've placed once, and that was for 0.08 cents. That means the bank roll is standing at $8.83 - just under $10.00...

I hate how I know that I have to remain grateful for everything little bit, and I am when I stopped and think about what I'm doing on the grand scheme of things, but on ruff days it's easy to look at the accomplishment as worthless...

All things considered I think it's really important that I make note of how depressed I've been over the past few days. It isn't because of anything going on outside of me: it's completely internal, and that has always been a source of serious negativity in my life.

Right now it's a matter of ridding the wave out, and not making any sudden changes in an attempt to "cheer myself up."

I've earned $8.83 - Keep looking up and moving in that direction until you're standing up, or at least until your head is off the ground.
