Hello livejournal. I forgot about you. :)
Life is wild. Took the semester off school to play poker full time. It's been good for me, both financially and emotionally. I've learned a lot about myself and about where I want to be in 5 years.
I've been working for Bank of America for almost 2 years now. Career prospect? Maybe.
I've been dating a wonderful girl, Whitney, for about the same amount of time. Wife prospect? Maybe.
I'm starting my last semester as SVSU in a week. Will I finish? Maybe.
Cheers kids.

First Ari practice today. It's going to be amazing, trust me. Think Pinback meets Sufjan.

been doing a lot of thinking, and ive been making some pretty big life changes as of the last few weeks:
I'm playing music again, and thats about the best decision I could make right now. I talked to Jason on the phone today for like an hour and it looks like the original Ari Thanos will be playing again - Rex, John, Jason, Jess and myself. No shows or anything, just writing great music and making some good recordings. We're getting together this Wednesday and I couldnt be more excited. I'll also be playing and recording for a project with ex-Red Racer keyboard player Daniel Jordan. He's living in Indianapolis, and I'll be spending a week or so down there writing and recording an album with him and two other musicians. I've heard some of their demos and can't wait to write the drum tracks. Look for links up soon.
I'm not going to be playing poker anymore. The emotional ups and downs are too much to deal with, and its taking its toll on me. I've had a good run playing the last two years, and I've made quite a bit of money, but I can't keep doing it. The lifestyle is just not for me. I'll still play some small stakes home games, but other than that I've got to be done.
I've got a new girlfriend, and she is amazing. Her name is Whitney, we met on our trip to London. She's going to Saginaw Valley Pre-Dental, she'll eventually be an orthodontist. Shes a great girl, extremely smart and has been treating me very well. This is by far the most mature and healthy relationship I've been in. It's funny how you can trick yourself into thinking youre happy as a kid - I'm coming to realize that's what I was doing when I was with Ashley. I heard from her for the first time in a long time the other day, and I must say it was an interesting conversation. ;)
I'll be done at SVSU in about a year and a half from now, and from there it looks like graduate school. I'm not sure where yet, but Purdue and the University of Michigan are both contenders. I'm loving the prospect of my future in the field of Communication.
Other than that, I'm learning to enjoy life a bit more. I suggest you do the same.
Cheers.
