Self improvement #7: Poker and Life

Poker and life are similar in the way that it’s always an adventure of skill versus luck.

Sometimes you mess up your alarm clock and you miss a class, or work. Sometimes you get fired, or lose a loved one, or you lose your wallet, or you have an accident. Sometimes you might get scared and do something you didn’t mean to, or maybe you get cold feet and don’t do anything at all. Sometimes you get unlucky.

But everyone goes through those things. Everyone has an equal chance almost of crashing their car, or losing their wallet or their job. If you keep working on yourself though, and you continue to humble yourself no matter if you just bought a new car, or if you just lost everything, and you continue to be honest with yourself and be patient, and be understanding and strive to be better everyday and you eat breakfast, and you get your sleep, and you go to the gym and you work on your art and you work hard and you look for happiness, love and success all day long and don’t sit around get angry about how you can be so unlucky and how everything is everyone’s fault but yours, life can be good. Skill and character in the game of life, just like in poker, win in the long run.

Wake up everyday and fight.

Drugs #3: Why cigarettes are highly debilitating and addictive

Cigarettes are essentially cocaines (stimulant) and heroins (downer/opioid) small little birthchild.

Cigarettes both stimulate the nervous system (less in those with a tolerance) increasing dopamine, and therefore eventually down regulate (decrease your brains sensitivity to) dopamine (happy chemicals) and also cigarettes stimulate opioid receptors (pain-resistance/calmness chemicals) in the brain, also downregulating them (decreasing the brains ability to deal with pain/stress), also making it almost triply addictive.

Upon quitting, both your ability to feel happiness AND tolerate pain/stress will be instantly, and noticeably/relatively reduced. Which leads to laziness: Nothing makes you happy, satisfied or motivated, AND everything is seemingly too stressful/painful to deal with.

Drugs #2: Cocaine comedown, explained (possibly)

Once you dose cocaine, both dopamine (happy chemical) and adrenaline (fight or flight chemical) skyrocket in your system.

Once the dopamine reuptake inhibitor (the forcing of happy chemicals in your brain) effect of cocaine wears off, the adrenaline still remains, keeping you in a fight or flight - overstimulated mode, but now, with relatively less happiness.

You are likely not going to fight anyone, so mostly you will be in “flight” anxious/fearful mode, and that is why cocaine, and other stimulants leave you feeling tweaky and generally “down” and anxious on the comedown

This is hard? Of course it’s hard. If it was easy, everybody would do it. I know that’s the most cliche thing in the universe to say but it’s true. If you want to do something great, it’s going to be one hell of a battle. If you want to walk into work and make all the ladies mad and all the men jealous, this is what is necessary; they’ll ask ‘Damn. Where can I get that?’ and you’ll know it, and you’ll know deep down, that you died to get it, and you’ll always be proud of it cause you’ll know you built something great. Something that not everybody else can build.

Dating #7

I feel like it should be obvious. But a relationship is a completely different beast from having a romance or just simply deciding to be physically intimate. To be in a relationship is to strive for perfect coexistence with someone one loves enough to be monogamous with; A life partner.

There has to be a fully penetrating sense of physical, intellectual and emotional intimacy and vulnerability before two individuals an even come close to deciding a life-long partnership.

Self improvement #6

My schedule for today, and some phat food for thought:

Won my first fight, went to sleep exhausted at 12 midnight.

•

Wake up 6:30, bright and early

•

Head to school for Student Senate meeting 7:20

•

Boom! Car actually explodes. Deeply frightened, but I alert my dad and then Uber it. •

Become friends with everyone at the meeting and tour. Really let everyone know that I believe once business is business is done I wanna be homies with everyone and have a family. They agree.

•

Walk next door to pick up a check from the UFC. Redo the whole accounting for July.

•

Walk to the bank, deposit check.

•

Text client and arrange cat-sitting services, get PayPal-ed cash.

•

Grab lunch at wingstop (pricey but screw it).

•

Bus/Uber home.

•

Play video games for an hour (last of us/fortnite) cause it’s my New Years resolution (the more i work, the more I suck, the more I suck, the less I play. So I gotta play and I swear to God my KD went from .69 to 1.25 in just a week of doing this).

•

Meet cat-sitting client. Go over poop cleaning, medicating, feeding and house access.

•

Enjoy the rest of my evening.

•

You would think that living a life of discipline, and choosing the right thing over the fun thing is a life of restraint. But actually it’s a life of freedom. Freedom of time and money whipping you all over the place since you can guide you day and your wallet and your energy instead of falling all over the place cause you don’t know what’s going on and you’re making the fun but irresponsible decisions. Let’s get it guys.

Self improvement #5:

Often, the people who repeatedly run back into people who abuse and take advantage of them without learning their lesson are likely people who don’t understand their value as people.

If one doesn’t see ones value, that person becomes much more prone to believing they deserve to be taken advantage of.

There has been much speculation about what makes Donald Trump’s supporters tick. But new psychology research suggests outside observers may be prone to error when trying to understand their motivations. The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that people tend to overestimate the importance of attributes with extreme values. “People frequently make assumptions about […]

I am the child of rage. My cries of pain will become the songs of death. My roar- the trumpet of slaughter. I will leave nothing but carnage and death before me.

To the people who think their racism is justifiable:

Looked at a lady who was running a janky-ass taco truck type stand near a big metro station and thought to myself: “Oh fuck off, you grumpy old ‘can I speak to your manager’ white opportunist mf.”. I was a 100% sure that if she saw a taco truck or some sort of street food vendor she’d be the f i r s t to call the cops and talk about some “rule of law” nonsense while she’s out here trying to do the same exact thing.

But then I realized I was being racist, and then I realized that there are some people who think I was right to be. And to those people I say:

What makes you think your philosophy of not-being-racist is going to work if you can’t even stick to it? Nobody really knows what her deal is. Any assumptions I make about her based on skin color is nothing but blatant racism. And two, what makes you think these people are going to give a rats-ass about not being racist towards us minorities if we are all standing around talking about white people as if they are some sort of sub-human? I’ve watched it, I really have, where we talk about white people disrespectfully as if they are some other kind of creature with all of their stereotypes and stuff that I’m not going to go into.

Don’t be racist. Period.

Philosophy #3: Where the fight really begins

As a semi-professional fighter I’ve come to realize that one of the most overlooked parts of preparing for the fight is not one’s ability to do the workout, to beat people, or whatever it might be. The fight actually begins when you’ve done the workout, or you did the beating or whatever, and you feel exhausted, and you feel like you gave it everything, and you feel like you can’t give anymore and are not only ready to give up, but feel like there is no choice but to give up and then in that state, to continue to bring your existence forward and bring growth and change by continuing and going forward. That’s where the real fight begins.

So in life, the fight isn’t when it’s easy and you did the work or you just started the work and you’re winning. If it was fighting would just be called winning. The fight in life that matters is the fight you have to fight when you feel thouroughly and completely beaten, and then you push beyond what you thought you were capable of, and thus, become reborn a more powerful fighter and person.

So when you feel like your relationships aren’t working out, or you grades aren’t showing up, or your work and finance situation is too hard and it’s all too hard and you’re too tired to care anymore. That’s when you gotta bite down and work one more hour, try one more time, change yourself one more time and push.

I can almost guarantee that if you have a genuine desire to push, you will get somewhere.

Cute romantic stories: Chicken soup for the soul #2

Me: “Well I’ll tell you this. If one day 2, 4, 7 years into the future I ask you to go on a whole lot of dates and we end up in a relationship I promise to take care of you forever and write pretty poetry for you everyday. You deserve the best, and as someone who cares: I wanna make sure you’re given everything you deserve.”

Amira: “You’re so fucking sweet. Oh my god; literally guy of my dreams. If distance wasn’t an issue. I would not reject you if you asked me out.”

Me: “That’d be another cute story huh? We just casual having flings every other season or year or whatever and we watch over each other and watch each other grow up and graduate and get jobs and eventually one day we’ll actually fall in love and get married.”

Cute romantic stories: Chicken soup for the soul #1

Amira: “Ew I hate spiders.”

Me: “How do you keep running into these predicaments. These p r e d i c k a m e n t s .”

Amira: “I don’t know if I should be impressed or terrified that you’ve once again managed to turn this into a dick joke. I’d be more impressed if you just got rid of the spider.”

Me: “I will always get rid of the spider for you, Amira. One day we’ll grow old and gray and be a cute old village couple in a little wooden house sitting on a porch and every so often you’ll find a spider in the house and just like you do today, you’ll panic. I’ll be an old man and I’ll hunch my way over there, and I’ll put it in a little paper plate and because I don’t believe in killing them I’ll take them outside for you. And everyone in the village will know what I’m doing and that you don’t know that I actually bring them outside instead of killing them. And they’ll think we’re the sweetest.”

How many times do I have to say “I don’t care.” to myself before I stop caring about people?

I honestly have the fattest crush on Dr. O’ Hara.

I strive to be as big of a cold, intelligent, openly materialistic and hedonistic, sassy and witty person as her.

I wanna whine to my best friend that I’ve had a sad day of work and then let him know I’m off to go buy clothes to feel better
