People,

It is time for me to admit that I will never become a poker professional or, for that matter, even that good a player. It's been a few years now and I've had some good runs, but I think it's probably time to hang up the cards and acknowledge that I will never be one of the exceptional people on TV who make their living in a this non-traditional, totally awesome way. Oh what it would be like to be able to become fabulously wealthy by outsmarting people, earning a nickname like "Joe the Clever" - but it isn't meant to be.

Truth is, I'm running out of non-traditional, totally awesome career choices. Rock star didn't work out, poker pro was a dud, tv writer and actor both turned into turd piles. I think at this point novelist is my last hope before I completely accept fate and become a boring suit. Ok, well, novelist or lottery winner.

Lottery winner, that just might be the way to go.

You could also be everybody's favorite kind of person: one of those dudes that just sues people all the time! I heard about a guy who sued a bar after he slipped on the slime trail left by a man wearing pork chop shoes. True story.

You should buy a cool black van, and drive around fighting crime and solving mysteries.
