Worst Week Ever

This has been perhaps the worst week in my entire life. A lot of you know that I have bi-polar disorder. Last week I was going through a slight manic episode, and on Wednesday my brother, my girlfriend, and my doctor and I all decided that it was time to get some hospitalization. Mental hospitals are not fun. I finally got out today and my girlfriend decided to call it quits.

So yeah... I don't even know where to begin. Gianna was the coolest girlfriend I've ever had. I'll still be seeing a lot of her because we work together on this Intervault project. We'll try to be civil, and I don't think it's going to be hard to remain friends. It really sucks, though, to spend a year and a half with someone and have the relationship disappear. It's going to be a very long time before my heart heals.

The one good thing I can see coming out of it is that I'll probably do a lot better at the WSOP this year, as not having a girlfriend is going to give me a lot of time to train. I'm going to approach it like I did in 2003. We're going Rocky-style all the way. It's my goal to win the main event, and watching Dan Harrington and Marcel both do so well two years running makes me think it's not the crapshoot that everyone says it is. It's all about getting into the zone and staying there for a week straight. I can do it. I HAVE done it. I will do it again this year.

I also disabled comments. I'm tired of assholes like Neal Ross ripping on my life. I'll still get comments, but they won't be displayed. So Neal... you can go back to RGP with your negativity. Maybe I'll see you in San Diego, but I seriously doubt it.

This is where I'd probably usually put up a quirky little picture, but I'm honestly not feeling it right now. Time to focus on business and poker and hope the rest falls into place.
