This is it, the final post.

As the rain falls softly outside i feel completly relaxed. Almost like prof Langdon in the final page of the da vinci code.

As i spent the last hour looking for mietners email, which i discretly tucked away in an unmarked text doucmnet i found a few other documents that really helped me confirm my decision.

The first was a thing from a personality test i did a earlier this year, when you understand yourself and how you operate you can begin to overide your personality traits, well control them.

I will underline a few, (actually i wont underline them specifically)

This test broke my personality down into three components...Good, average, negative. These are the negative ones...this isnt me totally (its rediculously accurate) but im a combination of the whole three...i.e some from the good, alot from the average and a few from here.

Unhealthy: Fearing that they have ruined their security, they become panicky, volatile, and self-disparaging with acute inferiority feelings. Seeing themselves as defenseless, they seek out a stronger authority or belief to resolve all problems. Highly divisive, disparaging and berating others / Feeling persecuted, that others are "out to get them," they lash-out and act irrationally, bringing about what they fear. Fanaticism, violence. / Hysterical, and seeking to escape punishment, they become self-destructive and suicidal. Alcoholism, drug overdoses, "skid row," self-abasing behavior. Generally corresponds to the Passive-Aggressive and Paranoid personality disorders.

(just finished my 'final' tourny which i had a ticket i wanted to get rid of...and i won. lol)

Another file i found was something i wrote (cant remember if i posted) but think i did, about me wanting to leave...this will be the third if not more time that ive wrote something which has ended with "im quitting etc" which is another reason why this is an excellent decision. The funny thing is im leaving because of a bad beat or or because i lost...becuase i didnt...im leaving for other reasons which some of you may not fully understand and thats fine.

My final exam is in three weeks and once that is completed im free! I cant afford to slip up and this is another reason why im bailing.

Feel free, infact i encourage you all to visit my myspace cause ill be jamming that heaps (i need something to replace this behaviour and im not buying a dog!)

my myspace is...myspace.com/popeye_007

Wow...dont really understand what ive said...im not going to proof read it cause its late and im tired. But yeah this is it.

Thanks again, keep in touch via the contacts ive provided so i can keep in touch with you!

6 months time, who knows...i could be back...but if i am ill have a different approach.

wink

Pops out.

As to all that negative crap -- that's what it is. I've known you a bit and that isn't anything like the way you come across.

I blog a lot about reasons to play. Most, I feel, don't recognize the real reason. You got embroiled in the scene--step back; take some time off; figure out what attracted you and if that is the real reason.

You can make poker into a lot of things; including a cheap SnG or MTT that is less expensive than going to the movies.

You are young and that is a scary time. In my era it seemed like endless wars and many will have that feeling today. If that wasn't enough we were taught to 'duck and cover' and I have a tattoo of my blood type on my left rib. Seems like they went out of the way to scare the crap out of us.

I had rhuematic fever as a kid and saw a sibling die. I figured I be lucky to make it to 21. We'll I'm three times that and the serious problems of that past ended up being a joke. Relax my friend. We've all been there; done that; and the scars healed.
