No poker today, in fact this month has been pretty bad in that regard, but I have some other things on my mind to blog about anyways. Good stuff though.

First, I reached a big milestone for myself today. Shot -1, and therefore under par for the first time in disc golf. I know not many people aren’t that familiar with this game, but it is something I have spent a great deal of time playing over the last few years and has always been a goal to get to those funny looking negative numbers. I was quite stoked to accomplish this feat. I donno really know what the next goal to set for myself is from here. I guess trying for a course record (donno what that is) or maybe some tournament play.

Almost burned the apartment down tonight. I was getting ready to cook some steaks and had a pan on the stove heating up to sear the meat. Well I suppose I had it heating on there a bit too long, cause it got really hot. I sprayed some Pam on into the pan, and the stuff basically evaporated in the air. LOL. So I decided to use some olive oil instead. I open the bottle and pour a dash into the pan. Boom, the whole pan goes up in flames. Like you’d see on a TV cooking show. But it kept going, getting bigger and bigger, and I was like, “Oh, shit”.

I grab the pan and kinda was holding it in the air seeing if it was gonna go down at all, but the flames were getting real close to the cabinets. I yelled to Kristen to open the fucking door, and few seconds later I was standing in the driveway with the flaming pan. The fire wasn’t going anywhere, but I managed to finally put it out by turning it over on the ground and cutting off the oxygen.

LOL, I was legitimately scared the whole place was gonna catch burn down, it was quite a scene. I haven’t really accessed the damage yet, but I hope the pan can be saved. We just got a really nice set from the wedding.

In other news, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about taking on a student with some kinda staking deal in poker. I staked a friend before, and while it didn’t really go anywhere, I was happy with agreement while it lasted. However, this time I want to do it a bit different. Last time I already knew my friend was a decent poker player, however because of the distance, I didn’t feel like I could do as much as I wanted to help him improve his game.

This time, I want to find somebody locally that I can spend a lot of time with developing their game. I don’t claim to be the best poker player in the world, but I do believe that I can teach someone the tools and fundamentals of the game to become a winning poker player. Hopefully in the ideal situation works out where I can make some money, feel like I am being productive, and change somebody’s life all at the same time.

I’m haven’t really worked out the details yet, but am going to be pretty particular about who I take on. I am considering looking around the college for students who I feel will be able to mentally be able to handle the game, are already semi finically secure, and have a lot of time on their hands.

Hopefully this works out.
