Life Is Good

I am really enjoying life and since I have been getting older it seems to go by so fast, I can't believe this year is nearly up.

I love the whole month of December, my favourite month of the year. People seem extra happier and I love the fact I get to spend the majority of it with my family. For me family is the most important thing in your life, I feel sorry for some older people who don't have much family and get lonely. What I find special about Christmas is getting to spend quality time with your family and from my 20 years life experience it's always best to play a board game, that's when the fun comes out, a little tip from me is try playing monopoly, I have to admit I'm pretty swag at the game just for the record.

Over the last few months I have been really working on my poker game, luck wise not been going well but I have cashed in a few tourneys and been losing in cash games. The game has got a lot tougher in the last few years due to the number of players discussing strategy and online has helped players learn the game so much quicker, I mean I know guys that play 20 tables at a time something I wouldn't advise, I stick to usually 1 or 2 but if a lot of good tourneys are on possibly 4. I managed to qualify for the 10th Anniversary Sunday Million through a $40 sat. Loved the tourney, you start of with a very deep stack which is much better as you have more time to showcase your skill. I had played really well and was 2nd in chips at my table and ended up getting into a big hand with my opponent who was chip leader at the table, blinds are 400/800 he has 50,000 and I have 40,000 he min raises to 1600 and i 3 bet to 4800 with AK, he then pushes instantly and he was a tight aggressive player so I felt I was on the lead I called and he AQ, I was in great shape to have a lot of chips but on the flop he hit a queen and that was that. I will hopefully get to play the Sunday Million again soon as it's a great weekly tourney. In January Pokerstars are hosting TCOOP which stands for Turbo Championship Of Online Poker. I shall be playing some of those, not exactly sure which ones but I will have another blog with a schedule on that.

My Youtube channel has been going for over 2 years now. I'm very happy with how it has went, it all started with me deciding to a video so my little sister has something to video with her new camera she got for Christmas. When I put that video up people started asking me to do more and since I was having fun with I thought why not and then it just went from there. I had no idea I would get that amount of subscribers and followers on my Twitter page, I know I still have a long way to go though but the main reason I do my videos is for myself as it's a lot of fun making and also to you guys who support me and get my views up. I have a lot in store soon and for 2012 I am hoping that one of my videos can hit the 100,000 mark, that would a very special moment.

My relationship with God is going really well. I have found peace in myself and I am at a happy place. Happiness comes in two ways, one way is by being a good person and the other is by doing things you enjoy. The first one is more important as it leads into the second one, if you are being an all round good person you will feel content with yourself which in turn you won't have stuff on your mind so therefore it's a lot easier to enjoy things. Right now I am happy with both parts. I find that most people you come across in life are usually nice, everyone has their own views on things but I think that's a good thing because if we were all the same it would be a boring world.

So my plan over Christmas and New Year is to go and see a movie tomorrow with a few friends, I think we are going to see Arthur Christmas, then Christmas Eve I will watch a few movies and relax with my family. Christmas day be having dinner at my house with family and then visiting family and same goes for Boxing day. Then I will be going to the cinema and playing poker and I might go ice skating a few times as it has been a while since I last went. On New Year I will be going to Irn Bru Carnival and then off visiting more family and then I make a trip to Londen on the 3rd. So pretty busy the next few weeks.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year:D
