Poker Ponderings

I was playing poker the other day on yahoo. Ever since Starr taught me to play I've been doing it on an off for my own amusement. I ran into something interesting. Another fundamental difference I think between civilian kids and army brats. These people were talking about starting college and how they were going to start new since no one would really know them or know anything about them and how everything was going to be great. I started thinking about it and realized I had no real desire to do such a thing. I think its because I spent the better part of my life having chances to reinvent myself. Its like WD-40 (you know on the 40th try is how they got it). I think that's the way army kids are. You have lots of time and opportunity to see who you are and what works and what doesn't and really you eventually do whatever.

I think the civilian kids they've only had once chance. They've known the same people since they started school and theses people know all their stories and what they did and all this weirdness. So really they can't just change because everyone will go wft. So...basically I found it interesting that people are...so unhappy with what they are.Wait or maybe unhappy with what people think of them. I'm not sure it simply seems odd to me.

I guess everyone has a moment where they wanna be someone else...I'm just rambeling
