I Write When I Want To
We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. W. Somerset Maugham Maugham obviously had never heard of blogs when he made the above quote. I haven’t made a post here at MDV since August 2nd. I’ve had plenty to write about, but just haven’t felt like it. And guess what, I’m fine with that. It’s my blog. I write when I want to. (...)

Self Improvement
I’ve written about being satisfied before and some of my recent posts have hinted at at the fact that I’m not satisfied with myself. In the last couple of weeks I’ve started more changes in my life than at any other time. I’ve attempted to make similar self improvements before and always ended up reverting to my old ways. This time is much different. (...)

Procrastination Quotes
Procrastination is the fear of success… Because success is heavy, it carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.

Can God?

Tim McCarver vs. John Madden
I’m having a hard time deciding which announcer gets on my nerves more. Tim McCarver “I got my ’splitter’ and my ‘plate’ mixed up and kind of called it a ’splate.’ It’s a new word I made up.” “A walk is as good as a home run.” “If the double play is a pitcher’s best friend, what is a fielder’s choice?

Faith And Doubt
I’m a spiritual person who lacks a vocabulary for it. Lance Armstrong - Every Second Counts (p. 96) Brilliant! I’ve always looked for the right words to express my beliefs and now I have them. Any account of my life begs for larger explanation: why did I live? I refuse the pat answer. God didn’t do it. (...)

Quotes From Rounders
I’ve listed some of the best Rounders quotes. There are quite a few I left out, but I tried to pick quotes that were meaningful even if you don’t know the context in which they were spoken. If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker. Always leave yourself outs. It’s immoral to let a sucker keep his money. (...)

Mike Caro University
I just finished watching a poker seminar video by Mike Caro University. Very good stuff! I think I’m going to start visiting his site for some good reading material. During the seminar he gave a lot of good advice. Most of which I’ve never thought about, but made complete sense after hearing it. (...)

Andy Rooney
Today I received an email forward from a friend with a bunch of Andy Rooney quotes. I’ve received similar messages a few times before and each time I read them I like Rooney more and more. Here are a few of the items from the email: I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. (...)

Back to Poker
During the Thanksgiving holidays, I played poker with friends and family a couple of times a day. It really wore me out from playing. So I decided to take some time off. Up until this past week, I had only played online once in the last month. It was a much needed break. When I was home for the holidays, I started to play online a little bit and have once again found my game. (...)

Opportunity
Just a couple of quotes that fit the day I had… “Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.” -Thomas Edison “Doors of opportunity don’t open, they unlock; it is up to you to turn the knob.” -Lily Taylor “Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it’s too late.” -Rita Coolidge Singer (...)
