Searching for Bobby Fischer

Ok, so I have been a bit lax on the postings lately….. I know, I know, you live for this stuff….yea, right. In any case, I have given up my old hobby of drinking until I pass out for a more frustrating one - chess. Yep, I am teaching myself a game that will drive you to drink. Since I was not very good at drinking (I never won that game either) it comes as no surprise that I am not that good at chess. I know, most of you would say that someone that has only been playing chess for 2 weeks is going to stink like last weeks garbage, but I am different. I expected to be able to play on a grand master level in at least…..well, I thought I would be there by now. I have however been ever so slightly disappointed. You see, as it turns out, chess is a game that takes years to master, or at least that is what the internet says… Had I known this before investing so much time into it, I would have just had another drink. Unfortunately for me I did not know this two weeks ago. So here I am, sitting quietly trying to remember that white should open with E4 and that loosing is a learning experience, not a devaluation of your manhood. I guess that would be good advice, but for someone that can’t beat a retarded three year old, I am starting to get a complex. I suppose that I have to remember that the road is long, and in the end, it is really the journey, not the destination that counts. I may be learning to play bingo if this doesn’t work out…
