he heh, should be

geez, high expextations... :(

if i am still playing competitively come nationals ill have to 1) get the invite 2) do very well in constructed 3) get a good pull in sealed 4) do very well in sealed and 5) hope others havent done 2-4.

with all of that said, i still dont think im good enough to make top 8. Xy's beaten me 2 of 3 now and he "only" made number 7. Then weve got guys like Corle and MechThran in the way... not to mention the Will63's, Engineer's, Devilsfury's, Noeticists, yada yada... out there.

Besides, my exposure is very little and, as i learned last week, theres a few tricks that ive never even seen before :(.

So, will i top 8 in 2005, i doubt it. If i go will i do well, hopefully.

Xy probably has the best idea of how i stack up to "the others." At this point hes my only real gage(sp?) of how I stack up to high end play right now. Not to mention i dont even know if hes REALLY playing me when we face off. Sure i think our games have all been tight, but does that mean anything?

anyhow, if i end up going to nats this year it will be more for the people than the game itself. I definitely like talking and thinking about it over playing the average game.
