A quick update before bed

I had my blood taken yet again, this time by my family doctor who is very worried about high liver enzymes and my cholesterol. She also wants me to get an ultrasound done on my liver. I had one of these when I was 16 and they thought it was from drinking. Add 7 years of hard drinking and substance abuse and living a party lifestyle and your guess is as good as mine about the shape of my liver. I'm going to refrain from any and all alcohol because its clear there is something not right with my body. In my own uneducated opinion (despite 2 years of med. school) feel my liver is having trouble processing the alcohol. I think with a complete absence from drinking my liver enzymes and cholesterol will fall to normal levels (I hope). Kind of scary considering I'm only 23 years old and need a liver to survive. I guess you can say that I'm really taking this serious now. "Keep drinking and your liver will give out at an early age" is a quote my doc. used.

I finished reading The Game by Neil Strauss tonight. Good book and all that. Up about 5 buyins so far this week (Respect, in a Borat voice). Going to try to really rack up some hours in the upcoming weeks and months. It's simple Math really; play poker= make money. Sit on my ass and watch stupid movies on tv and do nothing = no profit (with potential for +lbs). Even the most uneducated Math reader of my blog should be able to understand this basic concept. It's just sick how much studying some do on their poker game and how little I work on mine. I need to start doing more of this to achieve my goal of playing really high stakes. I slept horrible last night and made myself get up at 11:30am to do some running around so off to bed I go in hopes of dreaming.
