"I had to hit a point where I wanted to win. I had to WANT it again. I had to reignite that desire that pushed me in the beginning. I needed fuel to start that fire, and my current frustration and disappointment were exactly what I needed. It sent me to a point where I reconnected to my game on an emotional level. I learned that if I am not connected to my game on an emotional level - I stop caring. That's not only applicable to pool, it is applicable to everything in life. If you don't care anymore - if you disconnect from anything emotionally - it starts to slip away from you." ~ Blackjack's Random Thoughts, 08-20-1993.
