Music, Booze and Gambling

...are you addicted to any of the above?

Keep that question in mind...

Once again, Idleness has engulfed my life. For many I know, this is a life-long dream. No 9-5, No Boss, and, most importantly, no mandatory sleep schedule.

Life can be easy and fun living this. But I am not happy with just easy and the small luxuries, I'm trying to live and live to fullest.

Occasionally, I have to remind myself that sitting in front of my Dell for 2 hours and making $30-40 a hour is paramount to sitting in the Scion, delivering beef.

I am happy with my life now. I have new found drive to succeed, poker is making me money on the side and is going extremely well, and I am my check-list of "to-do's" is dwindling down to the goals that take extra drive and motivation.

Therefore, I must set a schedule for my "sessions" as I would have to follow a schedule for work.

Forcing myself to play two sessions, consisting of at least one-thousand hands, 5 days a week would be more than enough for me to reach 100NL and start making $70-80 an hour, and it doesn't even seem like a dream to me. It's on the calender, I just can't tell which date it falls on.

Moving back on to my question in the preface,

Many think that addiction lies in the form of tobacco, booze and casino's. Well, I believe addiction becomes manifested into those forms. A means of outlet, a steam valve one's body must release. Now, I have not actually conducted any research into this but I am a curious: At what point is one considered an addict?

Remember, we make our living off of degenerate gamblers, what seperates us from them?

I mentioned this because I want to hear from those who read my blog regularly on there idea of what addiction is and how it becomes symbolized in our society and our personal lives.

I think I know the answer, more on this tomorrow. AKA, tthis is possible doctorate theory.I got big dreams.
