Every Day is Saturday and What Constitutes an Emergency.

When you have been through life changing events your perspective on life changes.  When you are forced to make life and death decisions and attention to detail is critical in a very intense situation and you have only seconds to do so you are not the same person after.  You tend to trivialize things that most people would lose sleep over.     Afghanistan changed my life in that way.  I had the abillity to allow a B-52 to to unload 96 500 pound bombs on a target.  That is why it is frustrating  for having to put a clock on a man who is facing 40 dollars into a 600 dollar pot on the river and he can not be raised.  At 15-1 I would call from the Excalibur with two pieces of card board.
     I was watching Hawaii Five-O tonight and I spent alot of time thinking about my failed marriage. The reason this got into my wheel house was I saw a gold for cash commercial.   It brought me to thinking about these people selling wedding bands of gold  for cash.  Now I have lost two wedding bands in my life.  The first one I lost over Sicily DZ when I came out the left door of a C-130  jiggy bounced off the the side of the aircraft twisted up and had to bike kick till about 200 feet.  The second won I sold almost a year after my divorce.   I had bought it after I lost in on the parachute descent from hell cost me $80 in a Fayettenam pawn shop.    Now i was solvent when I made this move.   I had unburied myself from bad loans of $ 6000 at 8 points a every week.   I now had thousands in the bank and two CD'S working.  At this time in my life I did not sell it for the $20 dollars I got for it.  I did it for closure.  I now wonder is 8 years of my life worth $ 20.
     Sorry about venting,  the next thing I will discuss is my every day is Saturday concept.  When you are single in Las Vegas you can do what you want when you want,  but the trade off is you go home to an empty house with nobody who cares about you.  It seems like fun doing what you want when you want for a while, but when you start your weekend off for 13 months in a row knowing full well you are not getting laid you will change your tune.

     Tonight was a light night of online dating.  I did  a few searches and a few winks.  Poker wise I will play my one and  only SNG tonight.  You do not get to back over $600 by sitting on the bench.
