Beat: mom owns me

[bruin]

so i get back home after playing basketball today to find this note on computer monitor:

"Jack,
it's fine to go to Morongo and have fun with your friends once in a while, but you need to heed my advice about gambling on-line. You know what is happening to the industry. I told you about the placed "ringers" in these new gamblin companies. And there is no new fish. You are now the chump. I know what you have is all profit money, but please put away whatever you have left in the bank until you decide on what you actually need it for, i.e. investing, a car or whatever.

We will help you with this addiction.

Your dad and I work hard for you and your sister, to give you a good education, so that you two can live a comfrtable life. THink about your dad going to work with one shoe and one slipper. Think about me with numbness in my hands going up to my neck. But we're plugging away. We are living in this rat-infested house just so you and your sister can attend one of the best private schools. You should be studying hard nad networking and making connections, not gambling away your time and sleeping through your classes.

Mom"


The sad part is that most of this is true. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

my hous isnt actually rat-infested... my mom just exaggerates [censored] like that.

my dad stubbed his toe on X-mas so bad that he wasn't able to fit a shoe on without excruciating pain.

[Oubliette]

omfg this breaks my heart.

[elrudo]

Wow, this story is hilarious, tragic, touching all at once.

Sell plot to Hollywood and buy your dad a new pair of shoes.

set wad of $100 bills on fire in front of your mom. Use it to light the fireplace to cook your t-rex egg. That'll show her.

can't wait for intervention trip report

When I realized there there where no new fish and poker was a waste of my time I withdrew everything but a few bucks to play microstakes. This really helps curb my desire to play a ton of hours, and I'm playing aginst worse players so I'm not the fish anymore.

Then when I play live, I play higher, because I know that I have an egde.

Do what you should. Don't let the cards control you.

kinda lame that she wouldn't just talk to you in person about this
