1st ever Weekly Update

Ok I have only decided to start keeping notes in this last week, very poor note taking at that... I am sure it will get better as I progress in my journey. This week I paid $2500.00 to get a new computer for myself and my children. (It would have been a sin to give them my old crappy computer) So my dead cat reminds me of all the effort and cost being put into my new journey so stop being a chicken and JUST DO IT! He also reminds me if I lost all 100 tournaments at the $3.30, 90 man SnG's and never claimed a bounty it would at most cost me $330. So yes I am gonna listen to my dead cat. This weekend I will write and submit a poker resume to SNG Nick for the opportunity of a lifetime. I will begin this coming Monday on the 100 tourny challenge. I have also been neglecting playing enough at the proper levels to give my bankroll a chance to grow, recently playing a lot of free rolls. I will include bankroll updates in future updates. I also do not have any poker software at the moment as it wasn't an option with my crappy old computer, but not with "Bertha", I expect I will be in full use of programs by years end, for now just one step at a time.
Alright this is my attempt at tracking my records of games played in the past week, all done on post it notes and now transferred here to able myself to track my progress.
Legend to understand placings:
1,2,3,- any number indicates the exact place of finish
ITM- in the money, I got paid but didn't record place as it was not worth it
0 - not in the money and not recorded the finish
MTT- multi table tournamet
Freeze- no rebuys or addons

Hours spent training and improving my poker game: average of 3/day

Hours spent watching PokerVT pros in online play: 2/day for a total of about 50 tournaments, on and off, some lasted 4 hours, with myself and my dead cat witnessing 22 ITM's. I am proud to be able to say that these are my coaches for my poker journy and am pleased to tell you that Jason, Jcarver on FullTilt won a team title for a side bet in the FTOPS events recently and a 1st in the singles side bet for over 20k, not bad for a weeks or two of poker playing. (not to mention the cashes in the individual tournaments). My other coach is doing extremely well atop the MTT leaderboard and in a close battle for the SnG High limit leaderboard. Not to mention all the many other pros with training available and of course Daniel N who was the reason I attempted to play and win the tourny, after 2 attempts mind you, that got me a free year of training with PokerVT.

Hours spent working on blog: 1-2/day, this will change as soon as I have felt like I got it all out and will only have updates. I am sure to the point I am updating, at times, only weekly. But don't you worry I will make sure all of the content is as dull and boring as possible so after reading part way through it you will fall asleep or click to leave never ever to return...

Day off: Tuesday and most of Wednesday, spent watching horror movies, vacancy the begining which was ok but not as great as a good zombie end of the world type horror movie. Yet it does show a simple plain pervert who stumbles upon becoming a murder and how it could easily happen... right? I also took some time to watch Heroes, Lost, Biggest Loser, Survivor, the new amazing race and some stargate re-runs. I sure am anticipating the continue of Terminator The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Boy do I love lost, it is 1 of the few shows I don't find myself thinking about anything else... until the commercials. Which is also why I buy the entire seasons of my favorite shows on DVD and watch the whole thing back to back. If any of you enjoy a good show with action and suspense with a little drama and you haven't already make sure you checkout the 3 seasons of DeadWood, one of my personal collection.
