The mission

I've come to the realization that this blog has gradually veered from its original purpose - to make me into a better person. Now, I'm not saying that the blog is entirely to blame. But I'm pretty sure it's mostly the blog's fault. I mean, come on, it is the blog's mission. Isn't it?

Anyway, I'm going to use the upcoming NaBloPoMo to get this blog back on track because without the proper guidance, most blogs will deteriorate into narcissistic ramblings about how certain things suck and certain other things rock and will often dedicate lengthy passages filled with deep philosophical ruminations on the greatness of America's Next Top Model. So my first post of November will be a revisiting of the list. I will track my progress and update the list where necessary. Then I'll throw myself back at the list because I've been straying from it for a bit now. And that's what you, my deardear readers, have in store next month. Yay.

On a different note, I'm good at poker. That's not just my opinion either. I can now cite a second source for that information. So I was playing in a sit-n-go (a small tournament that starts whenever a certain number of players sign up for it) and it was down to just me and another guy. After I made a play to build up a pot for myself (I'll spare you the details), some observer chimed in with a "your good." Now two people think I'm good at poker. I'll try to forget the fact that one of them doesn't know the difference between your and you're.

I'm grateful for a random stranger's validation of my ability to do something I probably shouldn't be doing in the first place (20).
