This will be short and sweet since I’m at work and on my lunch break. I just wanted to let my legions of loyal readers know that I’m still alive and well. I don’t know how all you other ‘ bloggers ‘ find so much time to write, I seem to never have enough time in a day to do everything I enjoy. However, that could be in part to my inability to focus one hobby at a time. I just have way too many. A new hobby for me ususally always starts with good intentions and then its not long after that when I find something new and possibly exciting to do that distracts me from whatever it was I was doing before and then the cycle repeats.

 More recently, this change in focus has been attributed to a mild burnout and bitter taste to the world of poker. As most of you can attest to, the game can become mentally and physically draining at times. Sometimes its be because you are losing or that you simply need a break from too much play. Either way, there comes a point in any serious players life, you just need to take a break. Well I am at this point….I just need a small break.

So what are you doing instead, you ask? ….Well…… I’m playing World of Warcraft.  Now I know most of you are fermiliar with this game or know someone who plays it, but in a nutshell, it is a computer based role playing game with 100% focus on multiplayer interactivity. You create an in-game character, travel a virtual world, where everyone has a common goal of ‘leveling’ your character to its maximum abilities by completing quests and killing monsters. Most of the objectives/goals you encounter are team based and require a shared effort with other players around you. Hence its alure.

The fun thing about playing this for me is that my girlfriend is also enjoying the game.  So we are able to both logon at the same time and persue our rise to the top of the virtual food chain together. It’s been a lot of fun so far and it has been a great distraction from playing online poker. I can honestly say, if she was not playing, I probably wouldn’t be able to dedicate the time to it.  I hope to continue playing it for a while but will again, no doubt refocus my energy as our seasons shift towards spring/summer. Im really starting to forget what positive temperatures feel like. Gosh its been a long winter.

To finish,  just a brief update about our Puppy Razz. ( 18 weeks old ).

For the past few weeks she’s been having a real difficult time in controlling her pee’ing, It’s almost as if all the training has been going backwards and she just goes whever she pleases. But I noticed that her pee had a really strong smell and was inconsistent in color going from really clear, to really yellow. Then on the weekend I happened to notice she had some blood down there……oh ….oh…….. So on monday I took her in for 2nd booster shots and to find out of if what was going on with her. The shots went ok and when I asked the vet if we should be concerned about her issue, he didnt seem too concerned and said that its not that uncommon for puppies to catch infections and that some antibiotics would probably clear things up. So we will see how that goes, hopefully its not more serious.

I can’t wait to take her to the beach for the first time! Her favorite passtime is playing fetch, so that will be a blast. She’s never even smelled fresh grass yet….very excited for her first summer.

I should be updating my photo gallery soon with some new pictures of her along with a mountain of older pictures I’ve been meaning to post. Maybe I’ll get to that this weekend…..if im not busy leveling my Night Elf Hunter…..I’m such a geek.

Anyways, I should get back to work.

Till next time.
