is this the end?

this week ended up being a really revealing week for me which has some good and bad news.

this time i'll start with daygame. i started daygame a little early this week because i had a rough day at the poker table on thursday so i went home early.  there was still a couple hours before the mall near my place closed so i decided to go out for some daygame. i only ended up doing 1 approach right when i got there mainly because the interaction was pretty lengthy. i approached the girl and after talking to her for about 5 minutes i suggested going for some frozen yogurt. in the pickup community they call that an instant date. anyways we went and got some yogurt and talked for another 20 or so minutes. this girl was hilarious to me because she was so materialistic and fake. i laughed plenty of times in the interaction because of how fake she seemed but she was probably to thick headed to think i was laughing at her. none the less she was pretty attractive and i got her number. we have already texted a little bit so i am going to try and set something up with her in the next week. by the way the only reason i would get involved with this girl is for sex because she is so not my type because of how materialistic she is. friday came and i put in a pretty decent daygame session i ended up getting 3 numbers and for sure felt like one was really solid but they havnt text back yet. i plan on texting all my numbers here in a little bit so maybe some will reply and i can go from there.

saturday turned out to be pretty interesting. just like last week i was a little drained from the daygame on friday but i still wanted to try and put in some effort. i did a decent amount of approaches but the interactions felt mediocre at best. i think i got one number until this little gem happened. so i approach a girl while she was walking and she wouldnt stop for me. i told her i wanted to start a conversation with her and she said if i wanted to then i would have to walk with her. usually when girls want you to walk and talk with them it goes down hill because they dont make eye contact and the interaction goes nowhere but this girl wasnt going to stop. i began to walk with her and she wraps her arm around mine. (first time that has happened to me) we talk for a bit as we try to find a restruant that she is meeting her family at. we eventually find the place and we talk for a bit more and it feels like there was a bit of chemistry in the works. we exchange numbers and i go on my way.

about an hour later i get a text from her and we begin to exchange texts over the next couple hours. she asked me what i was doing later tonight which is pretty much a green light to meet up with her. i told her i was hanging out with her later down at the pier and she agreed. we met up later that night and hung out for a little while and walked and talked before we went down to the pier. we were holding hands and hugging each other so there was a lot of physical connection. i tried pulling her to the side for a kiss but i pulled away before touching her lips. when we got to the pier we went on the ferris wheel and enjoyed each others company where again i went for the kiss but pulled away before touching her lips. after the pier we went back to my truck and i drove her home. before she left we talked briefly and this time i did go for the kiss and it went smoothly. she has already text me today and mentioned hanging out again so i think she will be a lot of fun.

today i tried going out but i just couldnt get motivated to approach and just decided to just be lazy and just drive around. i also had a date on tuesday from a girl from last weeknd that resembles marilyn monroe. she turned out to be really sweet and i like her a lot. she also suggested hanging out again so im going to try and meet up with her again sometime soon. tomorrow i actually have somewhat of a date planned. when i first got her i went on a date with and older girl. i wasnt really feeling the connection so i told her and we didnt really pursue it after that but we stayed in contact. she texted me a few days ago and i told her we should met up again and so we decided on going to the zoo since i want to go and i havent been yet. if she comes on to me than i'll go for it but if not ill just leave it as it is. thats pretty much all the daygame this week which turned out to be a pretty fun week.

poker was a little bit of a different story... i only played 3 days this week and came out slightly losing. im not sure if im winning or losing this month but im sure its close to either and as it turns out im not sure i really care anymore.

i realized a few things this past couple weeks with poker that im not to sure will be good for me in the future if i continue to play. after moving to LA i realized how much im not interested in trying to be  "rich" anymore. i never really was trying to be but thats really the only way i could describe it. when i was 18 and i got into my career and then soon found poker i was money hungry. i wanted to have a lot of money and i didnt really know the reason behind it. but over this past month i think i found the reason for my drive to have a lot of money and i think it was because i was always afraid of not being financially stable. i didnt come from a poor family but money wasnt really around when i was growing up. i paid for a lot of things that i wanted while i was growing up and had a job since i was 14. i think my past just made me want to be able to make sure i could survive with enough money and still be financially comfortable to not care about money. well since moving to LA i just realize how much money this city is revolved around. the city is sooo materialistic and plastic which is why i dont like it and after i realized that i found out that i didnt need to worry about my money.

right now i am really financially stable and really comfortable. im so not materialistic or worried about having the new thing which cost money. then it dawned on me that the reason i played poker and was so driven to win was so i could win money so i could achieve my goal of being financially stable. well... im there now and it felt like as soon as a realized that i stopped caring about poker and my interest has almost gone to nothing. im not saying im going to quit playing poker but i dont know if i will be putting much effort into it. i will be playing it for a slow income to keep things going but i just dont have the desire to play it like i use to. maybe it is because i had a pretty slow season with it so far or maybe it is because of what i said i guess time will tell though.

so that is where i sit. it is kinda sad but at the same time im not going to force myself to do something im not enjoying and instead im trying to focus on improving other aspects of my life. im sure next week i will have more on this topic and this post is already too long so untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
