.. here is my little hit, triple double bonus poker, 25 cent level, at mirage - nov/dec 09 trip

.. part of my on-going therapy sessions ..
. ., years ago, i tried to aleviate my boredom condition via self-induced alcohol therapy.. and failed miserably, although i tried with all my might .. moving forward, i tried sword swallowing, pineapple peeling, lawn dart throwing, self mutilation, and even grave digging .. even excelled slightly at several of these type activities and reported to myself feelings of euphoria every now and again.. continual moderation of my involvement in such "games", among others, have yielded a growing disdain for such activities, though not entirely composed of absent interest .. really .. , eventually i was introduced to video poker , and combined with alcoholic beverages .. all these haze-filled sessions has caused me to realize, as most responsible folks would (or maybe not-so-would), that this peculiar brand of behavior ... can be aptly classified.. as nerdiness or geekiness or even outcastedness, to the point of comparison to an octopus with one bad tentacle .. my failures in most vp sessions can be blamed on "bad luck" rather than lack of proper coordination or miscalibrated mechanical ability per se (darn it, i missed the hold button due to uncontrollable shaking of my paws) .. noticing the shapes of the card symbols can also be an issue. .
.. as such i may very well have ended up being even more unpopular and better suited towards predictable fields like opera, the ballet or the performance of carefully preserved selections of antiquated classical music as the world at large, or small, or perhaps even "super sized" .. consider those, or some semblance of a like-kind, to be highly practical fields to endeavor. ..
, maybe
