Do you think it's possible to skip something in our stream of consciousness? Like when we attempt to deliberately block something out it shows up the very next thing in our next sentence. If I think, "I won't go to the mall today, but I don't want anyone to know, so I won't mention it." Then my next sentence will probably involve something mall-related at a considerable distance.

It seems almost impossible to do anything other than sublimate your avoided thought into the next impulse. I suppose some people are better at this than others. If I had the perfect range-finder I'd probably excel at conversation, but I rarely hit anything other than aces. I guess that means that I'm quasi-autistic, like I have the same function but not the disorder.

I was pretty good at poker. I got to around $40/hr at NL50 back when things were pretty juicy. Dunno how they are these days.

$40 an hour was considered good back when you played? It doesn't seem good when you add in all of the time spent in front of a computer, stress, and whatever else comes with grinding poker.

I was proud of it, lol. I realize now I probably wasn't really a stellar player but I was pretty disciplined. $40/hr. might even be great for me now.
