A Great Equelizer

 Today I was hoping was going to be the days for me as far as my dating career goes.  I went up the escalator to the mezzanine level of NYNY hoping to see pretzel girl.  Much to my chagrin she was not there.  Finally I had prepared some opening small talk and had a confidence about me that I only have once in a blue moon.I have not heard back from any of the the three hand crafted responses I sent last night.  Tonight will be a light night of online dating searches.  Fortunately I was not kicked off OK Cupid, but a moderator read me the riot act.

    Last night I got involved with a facebook chat session with an old girl friend I had before I went in The Army.  She really opened up my eyes to my choices I have in life.  Well anyways she wound up drunk dialing me and I never got a chance to play poker online.  Before work today I played 1-2 NL.  Lost 60 dollars on a solid play, but standard deviation laughed at me.  I won the 60 back plus another 65 when I took Boston Celtics on the money line at plus 125.  Tonight I will play some online poker when I finish this post.

     Well have developed a love affair with assault rifles.  I am trying to figure out what has piqued my interest.  I now realize what it is.  I am 5'8' and 180 pounds.  If I were to get into a physical altercation with a guy who is 6'4" and 240 and chiseled I am a dead duck.  However if I walk away and go to my residence and get an M4 with a 20 round magazine and return to his house I can blow a hole in his face and there is not much he can do about.  Guns are the great equalizer.  Would I do this maybe, maybe not, but it is a nice option to have.

     I am taking my first karate class on Thursday.  In my opinion karate will help me over come my self esteem issues, social anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and lose some weight.  More importantly it will come in handy during my next altercation after a traffic accident or in my dealings with  over zealous government agents.
