This is all very complicated So I'm writing this down as maybe in time it will help me make a decision on things to come. I've been wrestling with a complicated choice and I'm not sure what to do. I've walked around aimlessly thinking it over. And I'm still not sure what to do.
Let me explain.
Metaphor #1I'm like Kobe right now. I like my team but I don't know where they're headed. I haven't demanded to be traded or anything like that but I could leave right now while my value is high.
Metaphor #2Another metaphor is that I just built a house. All I need to do is maintain the upkeep of the house, keep it clean, repair shit thats broken and keep it in good order. It's a nice gig, no pressure just maintain the status quo. But it isn't a big house with cool shit. Just an ordinary house.
But somebody has asked me to build another house. And this house is awesome. It's gonna be a mansion and its gonna be big. And I get to tell the builders what I want in it and they'll probably build it. The drawback is that this house has to be built from the ground up. Foundation is gonna have to be built, walls put up, roof, etc.
Do I stay in my little house or go make the big one?
Fuck. It's a complicated decision.
So much to take into consideration. So much to think about. So I've been spacing out of late. And I can't even seem to be fun to hang out with.
Well enough of that.
So I went to Atlantic City last week and played some poker. The recap:
Event #1 ($2/$4 limit holden): Won $74
Event #2 ($2/$4 limit holden): Won $33
Event #3 (Texas Holdem Bonus Table Game): Lost $200
Event #4 ($400 Sit and Go at Harrahs): Paid $65 buy in, finished 4th
Event #5 (Texas Holdem Bonus Table Game): Lost $200
Event #6 ($2/$4 limit holden): Lost $13
So to recap, I didn't come out ahead. But I swear I could have won that Sit N Go.
Blinds were catching up to me and I was semi short staked. Went all in with a Q10, dude called me with a KQ. I hit the rail when nothing flopped, turned or rivered.
But I'll win that shit. I know I can.
Some weirdness moments from being in AC.
-Vietnam Vets are weird cats...
-Roulette winners are odd
-Weird family moment when my half filipino half white nephews clashed with half filipino half white kids from another family in the lobby
-I get pocket rockets and somebody went all in and I was more than happy to call during the sit n go
Let's move on.
I do take a look at my log searches and see a lot of "half white and half filipino" searches coming up. I think I blogged about my nephews on this.
So I'll ask? Are there alot of half white half filipinos out there?
This is not uncommon to me. My entire family has crossed this racial divide. The younger kids are oblivious to this mix (they're 16 or under). They're just kids. Race isn't an issue. I'm guessing the searches are coming from kids or adults who pretty much are curious about being half filipino.
I'm not mixed myself but I think you've got to take the Tiger Woods approach and embrace both sides. There are generations of kids that maybe be racially mixed and want to know what it means to be Filipino. And I couldn't tell you myself.
There are Filipino kids who embrace their culture and their are others who do not. It's kinda weird what we all take pride in. I enjoy
Happy Slip is a cultural phenomenon. I like that
Manny Pacquiao is pound for pound the best boxer right now. I like how the country has a woman as president.
But I'm ashamed of the poverty, corruption and obsessive materialism of the culture.
I like the bizzare foods.
I hate the heat.
I've done research on this myself.
Here's a list of famous
Eurasians.Something on
Filipino Mesitzos.
List of famous
Filipino Americans.
I hope that helps.
