Lyric of the Day

"Daddy's ghost behind you 
Sleeping dog beside you 
You're a poem of mystery 
You're the prayer inside me 

Spoken words like moonlight 
You're the voice that I like..."
- Faded From The Winter by The Iron and Wine

Pokered Out

So Paul enjoys himself a game of poker, okay he plays a lot. From online to home games, he can't get enough of the game. It is always on his mind and he has the makings of a professional.He is cool under pressure, hard to read, skilled and tight with his money, play or real. I play occasionally with him. We play in the park under the trees, we play with chocolate coins, we play online. I never play for cash, he knows that. For me, it is a game, not a gamble. Winners know when to stop, haha. But I love him nonetheless and will support (if not watch) this habit. 


We edit poker, it's our job. We are surrounded by it all day. We learn from the best. It is like being in a poker school. Watching the bad beats, watching the folds, watching the body language... we learn. Thus our game becomes better even though we may not be playing. I can say that from not playing (a year ago), I would love to become a professional player, oh the pressures though. 


So I leave you with some wise words; 

"One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards..."

Lyric of the Day

This is easily one of the most beautiful songs ever crafted. It sings to the sappy girl in me. The music video is just as lovely. Just enjoy!

"There are moments when,
When I know it and
The world revolves around us,
And we're keeping it,
Keep it all going,
This delicate balance,
Vulnerable all knowing..."
- Existentialism on Prom Night by The Straylight Run

Take It or Leave It

" I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, 
a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound 
-- if I can remember any of the damn things..."
