I just increasingly can’t shake off the feeling that I could be doing something more productive, both financially and mentally, with my time than trying to laugh off the bad beats of the low limit grind. I’ve just managed to donk off $470 while chasing a $500 bonus, which means for about 40 hours of toil I get a princely $30 added to my bankroll. Which sucks ever so slightly.
I have a seemingly continuous series of ideas floating through my head at one time or another, all to do with making money on the web, or at the very least learning some new technologies and applying them in some fashion: whether it’s profitable or not, I am starting to think it will be more useful than repeatedly flopping the nuts only to lose on the river.
In a way, I would miss playing, though. Partly because at the back of my head I just know I’m still a good player. I’ve become very lazy, though, and I’m possibly the only player left not making use of all the wonderful tools that allow even the most average of players find an edge somewhere, so maybe I have only myself to blame, but then again if it comes down to which toolset you use to get the biggest edge, then I’m just no longer interested. What I would miss most, perhaps, is the community at ITH, which I wouldn’t be nearly as involved in, and depending on which of my ideas I pluck out of my head first, I would have to offer to give up my moderating duties there too. I’d be like a normal poster again - can you imagine anything worse? 
I guess since I probably would then no longer talk about poker or music at all on this blog I’d have to find a new name for it. But maybe that’s no bad thing, really.

Chin up old boy! It could be worse… you could get slapped with a £200 fine for not recycling properly like this poor sod:

Wow. That’s just exactly why we don’t recycle more in this country? Makes me feel I got off lightly with my warning.
How exactly do they make out he’s such a villain in all of this? What is the logic behind them not being able to recycle anything in a bag if it contains just one “contaminating” item? Just take it out of the bag, you galumphing idiots!
I’m going to be a gun for hire in the near future if any of your ideas require extra firepower…
Excellent - how AJAXified are you?
To the MAX! I’m so AJAXified, that people don’t talk to me, they run my personality in their own heads and it makes http requests back to my brain.
