I dunno, at some point around 2005ish I wanted to perhaps play poker professionally and maybe, considering the boom/available money/what ended up happening, I should have went for it full force and moved out to LA to play every day at the Commerce or something. I did a summer between jobs out in LV, but that was pretty much a vacation with some poker involved. I had the cash to make a real run, but for whatever reason just never did. Maybe it was a fear of failure ....
I had a really good LSat score and thought I was biding my time till I went to a top 25 type law school by working a 9-5 which allowed me to live fairly decently as a single guy and play poker all weekend/on holidays. Just kind of spun my wheels and never did either. I did do some other semi-cool stuff till the economic downturn ended that, but I really can't complain given the lifestyle i've been able to lead since the end of college.
I tend to think most people are like me; oh well, I guess I lose at life.
Now I just dream of being an old, miserly and heartless landlord with enough properties to keep me happy in my old age. That dream is very much alive.:woot:
