Proud of myself

I just emailed my Senators about online poker, the stupid laws in congress, there poor voting on these laws (they are Democrats which is surprising how they vote). As much as it would pain me to actually go and vote for Obama I just might have to. I think he is unqualified, Muslim, and will give to many advantages to the poorest of citizens (non working minorities) which pisses me off. I'm a proud Republican but I'm sick of Bush. Although I'm sick of Democrats blaming there poor performance on him (I.E. Jennifer Granholm). I will make it the most important thing to do the day she runs for office to vote against her. I will vote for whomever runs against her (even if it's a green alien). Ron Paul would have been awesome for everyone. Instead my choices are a computer illiterate, easy swayed Republican and a Minority Democrat that is Muslim. Whoever the PPA advises to vote for then I will vote for. Making online poker legal is the only issue I should concern myself with this fall.

Poker has been going ok. I bought a few business books because I'm toying around with the idea of starting an online business through Ebay. Everyone seems so sell everything on Ebay so I figure I can unload some stuff I have around the house. Perhaps It will lead to powerselling and perhaps I will just make a few k selling things that are now useless to me. Be pretty cool if my gf and I could powersell and make like 40k a year on it working part time but my hopes are low. The books I bought have great reviews.

I also bought The Poker Mindset, Essential attitudes for poker success. It talks about the mind and how it reacts to swings, bad beats, winning, and basically playing well and realizing your bad play.

I've been browsing boats that are for sale with no success. I'm looking for a 27ft Sportcraft with low hours. I would of course love to go and drop 300k on the 31ft Tiara but it's not even close to an option. I would be very happy with the Sportcraft, it's a great fishing boat that is long and wide and can easily troll 10+ rods on it. Perhaps in a year or so I can buy a close to new one. For the readers that know nothing about boating, boats are expensive. A new boat typically costs (for what were looking for) 100-300k. So a gently used 27ft Sportcraft would be the nuts.
