ALOHOLLA- Day Off
April 8, 2008
so I took yesterday off from poker to give myself some much needed time to relax and have fun via physical activity. I woke up at around 9:30 and immediately went to the pool with my girlfriend and swam laps for 15 minutes then laid out for another 15 before going inside and making breakfast. after breakfast I went to the Ala Wai golf course and walked the back 9. I was paired with a group of 3 older asian people. for the record I am HORRIBLE at golf but I thoroughly enjoy being out on the course in such a serene and peaceful environment while challenging no one but yourself, no to mention it’s a nice little workout when you walk the course. After the 4 hour round of golf I went home devoured some pasta and smoothie before heading out to 24 hour fitness on Kapiolani where I worked out for an hour then shot around for a half an hour before playing a 5 on 5 pick up basketball game.
As some of you may know I used to play college basketball at HPU before multiple knee surgeries ended my career. since thenm I have been a lathargic and lacadaisical slug and have become WAYYY out of shape in the last 2-3 years. as such I have recently decided to get back into “game shape”– being able to play 3 consecutive full court basketball games to 15 without feeling too winded or cramping up. the first time I played was about a month ago in which after 4 points I was winded and cramping up and lagging back on defense, I was quite embarrased. yesterday I was able to make it a full game, jogging back on both ends of the court, playing D and actually being semi-effective. It was a VAST improvement and I honestly am feeling good about my progress.
after basketball I showered up, caught the end of the NCAA championship game and a crazy memorable finish. wow what a finish. then headed to my IS 6000 night class for 3 hours of good times. when I got to class I was surprised to find out we had an exam which I was unaware of and unprepared for. however I am a BEAST and I CRUSH tests so it was not a problem as the test was on quantitative research and answers could be found via deductive reasoning, basic logic, and knowlege of basic statistics. I’m expecting an A when I get it back. after class I came home w/ my beautiful girlfriend and smoked a night ending J before watchng TV for a while.
overall yesterday was a GREAT day and a much needed time away from poker.
today I have classes with a 3 hour break in which I’m gonna teach my friend Enis how to dominate and crush MTT turbo sngs on pokerstars. I’ll be back later with updates.
MAHOLLA
