Some music for ya...




I don't know, something about Ani DiFranco does it for me. Musically I mean. Have a gander...

Not so card dead...



Well, I took a little dip for a while, but I'm on the way back up now on Full Tilt. Definitely one of the hardest things about playing poker is not cashing a few, and having to grind your way back up. Graphs courtesy of SharkScope.

Still no cashes in live play in some time, only a couple of bubbles (last one out before the money).

The Lord demands sex...

Anyone who has read this blog for any amount of time (all three of you) know that I'm not religious. But, you know, maybe it's not because of my beliefs so much, but rather, because I haven't found the right church.

Like this church.

Good Lord.

"The pastor of a southwest Florida church opened many eyes and ears Sunday when he said he wants married couples in the congregation to -- have sex for 30 days in a row."

Wait. Is this church or a strip club? Either who, sign me up! Eh, and why stop at 30? Why not just go for a cool 60? I should be a pastor...

It's almost St. Patricks Day!

A while back I went thru an Irish music phase, and I've always liked music with a humorous touch to it. So finding the Brobdingnagian Bards seemed like a pretty good fit. And no, I can't pronounce the name either, but these two guys are funny as hell.

They kind of remind me of Monty Python, if you're into those movies...

I've gotta piece of shit car...



Hi, I would like you to meet my car. Well, this isn't my car, but mine is similar. It's a 2003 VW Jetta. I always wanted a VW, ever since I was a kid and my dad had VW Bugs. But this car... this car hates me. It has always hated me. Just observe all the ways it has hated me since I bought it brand new with about 4 miles on it...

* The stereo is a piece of shit. The AM radio never works and the speakers cut out at higher volumes.

* Twice within the first six months I had broken windshields.

* One Friday after work my car wouldn't shift out of park. Apparently the little indicator that tells the car your foot is on the brake, so you can shift out of park, was broken.

* I had a screw in my tire.

* A city lawnmower hit my car, cracking the windshield, and denting both doors on one side.

* The struts are shot.

* And yesterday, when it was -9 with -30 windchills, and I was 40 miles from home, my driver side window decided to freeze, and fall of it's track. Into the door. And not come back up.

Do you know how cold it gets when you are driving 60 miles an hour in -9 degrees weather, and your drivers side window is down?

Really, really, really COLD!

Hey, you know anyone who wants to buy a 2003 VW Jetta???

Me neither.

Hey, you're pretty good!



This my recent stats on Full Tilt that I plucked off of SharkScope. Not too shabby! I've been bumping my buy-ins up a little to the $20 nine person tables, and I've won the last two. It's nice because it gives me some heads up experience, which unless you're winning a lot (not me), you don't get that much.

Well, poker league starts back up this Friday, so time to put the online streak to the live game test.
